Dr. MID-Nite Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 I'm wanting to use The Incubus(from 6E villains Vol 3) in my next session(which is Halloween themed), but I hate his name. I'm going for a Mister Mxyzptlk feel, but I'm terrible at names. Anyone want to help me with some inspiration here? Please and thank you.

Lord Liaden Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 I've used said villain once myself. I hate that name for the character too -- very misleading IMHO. I called him Impius (IM-pee-us), a play on both "imp" (mischievous demon or spirit) and "impious" (irreverent or blasphemous). It sounds and feels similar to "incubus," but with an entirely different meaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcw43921 Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Troublemaker would be a good name for--a troublemaker. Mr. Ridiculous could be a good name, as would Mr. Mischief. Either one makes the character sound innocuous--until he starts being otherwise. Same for Hanky-Panky. Go ahead--make fun of his name. Others have lived to regret that mistake. Hope that helps.

steriaca Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 If you want a name similar to Mister Mix...no I am not going to spell that mess of considents, I would go with Mister/Master/Lord Rediculashorous. Or even Mismastord Rediculashous. ...at least it is not Bat-Mite, or Lary (the Robyn-Mite)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucius Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 I never knew there was an official Champions character named Incubus. I gather he's designed to be an annoying gremplin or imp type but difficult to eliminate? Lucius Alexander The palindromedary asks if he likes to sit on the chests of sleeping people and keep them from breathing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 The Incubus claims to be the Devil of an alternate world where the dominant society stresses seriousness, responsibility, and conformity. As the antithesis of that, Incubus is committed to spreading chaos through practical jokes and pranks; but since he's the embodiment of Evil for that world, his "pranks" are cruel and malicious. Incubus found the people of that world too boring, though, so he travels to others that are more entertaining. (If one believes the Incubus's story.) Incubus is a close analogue for Mr. Myxyzptlk. He has great power to alter reality, and is very hard to hurt. He also has a similar style and sense of "humor." (BTW Istvatha V'han placed a big bounty on his head -- Incubus has disrupted her empire numerous times.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadmar von Wieser Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Not as a direct answer, but as a brainstorming input: I have a running gag in my campaigns with imps and pixies and gremlins and the like keeping telling the players there are imp gods, too, and they are called Loll and Roffle.

Burrito Boy Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Hmmm. Incubus in the absurd style of Mister Mxyzptlk? Incy Dinky Parlez Vous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Democracy Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 You could go for something more classical. Pandaemonium sounds like a decent name... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
