Subject: [BNW] Delta names
It came to my attention that when generating a character, my players had
the initial concept and everyday joe public names sorted out, but could they
think of a Delta ID?
I used to run Marvel SuperHeroes a lot and dug out my old list of
character names and passed it around. Most, if not all were original or
'borrowed' from comic books. I thought that seeing as how BNW is a
darker kind of game, but in the comic book genre with powers and all, that I
would post a few names here.
Perhaps, between the GMs out there, we can get a list of Defiants,
Primers, EU etc and maybe, just maybe get a big list together so that the
recent discussion on number of Primers in each city could kinda get
answered.
Anyway, to the list of names. I have grouped them together under
the different template powers. Feel free to use any of them in your
games.
Blasters : Cannon, Deathtoll, Firestorm,
Hellfire, Inferno, Thermal
Bombers : Boomer, Fuse, TNT, Semtex (Player favourite), Nitro
Covenant : Crucifix, Priest, Bishop, Cardinal, Angel
Snuffer : Disrupter, Nexus, Blind
Goliath : Mammoth, Monolith
Scrapper: Brutal (Not too many wanted scrappers so some help or ideas
would be good)
Speedster : Velocity, Dash, Sprint, Meanstreak
Flyer : Airstrike, Hawk, Falcon
Gunner : Bloodstrike (named after one of my old image comic favs),
Sniper, Buckshot
Teleporter : Tesseract (I liked it from the list so
that one goes in), Exit, Portal, Gateway, Nexus
I will add more names as I think of them. As a
handy hint, if your players are having difficulty in thinking of a 'hero'
name, pass them a dictionary or better still, a Thesaurus and that should give
them plenty of scope.
I hope this has helped out and I hope that some new names appear so that
I can get away from my old marvel campaign names.
Ever Defiant.
