FrankL Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Hello, I am building a new character for a story and am drawing a blank on her name. I'll give a description* because I know you guys will have some great suggestions. Background Elizabeth is a college student who loves stormy weather. She is from the Texas panhandle and volunteers as a storm chaser. She is of German descent-tall, blonde hair, blue eyes. All powers in the story world are the result of genetic engineering. Personality Giggly and fun loving with an attitude that makes many people think she is a stereotypical dumb blonde. Actually, she's a chemistry student and can analyze problems very quickly. When she needs to get serious, she does. She is very talkative. Major Powers Flight Enhanced strength (pretty much a given in the story world that all supers have some degree of super strength) Weather control - She can incite and dispel tornadoes and thunderstorms. She cannot control lightning but is immune to it. Controls wind with extreme precision. Can stand in the middle of a tornado without being moved. Is completely immune to the wind and lightning of a storm but not any objects being blown by the storm. If struck by a blowing tree, she would be affected. She would not be hurt badly because of her defenses but would be knocked back. She can also create wind by blowing or thrusting with her hands. Use in story Elizabeth will begin as a one-shot enemy before joining the Crew. She is from another reality where she is a member of a team with several analogues of the current team. They are also heroes there. However, when she comes to the story universe, she is told that the Crew are villains. She believes this and ambushes Bolt when has no teammates nearby. Bolt is doing well in the fight until something she says tips him off to her identity; he knows her unpowered analogue in his reality (the team is already aware of other realities but they do not travel between them). In fact, they dated seriously for a while. Discovering her identity throws him off and she takes the upper hand until he manages to convince her that he is not the villain here. He correctly surmises who the true event manipulator is and convinces her to join them to fight him. After the villain is thwarted, they discover that she is trapped in their reality and she joins the Crew. *Build will have to wait; I may need some help on that one also. I will probably write it up in the system I am familiar with and try to convert it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja-Bear Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Re: Need a name for a windy character Well when I just read the title Blowhard came to mind but seeing that she's a girl-let's just axe that. How about Hyperwind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Re: Need a name for a windy character Stormy Blowhard Breeze These are the three I immediately thought of. The first could be a friendly nickname, and the second a nickname used by enemies or rivals. Of the names already given, Tempest is by far my favorite.

FrankL Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Re: Need a name for a windy character Thanks to everyone for their suggestions! There were some really great names, but one jumped out at me. ... Blue Norther (Texas term for a huge northern storm) ... Saw this one and knew the winner when I saw it.
