Help me pick screennames! (Contains Effulgence spoilers)

If it's germane, yet doesn't fit into another category, it can go here.

Re: Help me pick screennames! (Contains Effulgence spoilers)

Post by Bluelantern »

I am sorry for the double post, but I seek the wisdom of this forum members for more screennames.

The new characters:

1 - A young woman with the ability to danger sense plus a kinetic control that gives her super-agility and "stronger punchs"
2 - A teen girl with the ability to acelerate cell division, giving regeneration to people, plus she can wall-walk, the most important trait is the regeneration thing. He personality isn't what you expect of someone that is essentially a healer.
3 - A 10-12 year old boy with the ability to create calming music and animate eletronics.

I don't have any ideas for 1. I considered "Divide-and-Regenerate" for 2, but I am not sure. I am tempted to try a daft punk reference for 3, but I don't have anything yet.

Help? >.>
Sorry for my bad english

oooh, screenname sorcery!

1 - Like, really, I didn't even mentioned that Aria (aka 1) likes to dance. All of Lambda and BSP suggestions are good (but I am not sure what "to_the_quick" means), I feel like going with "abodyinmotion" because it sounds like something that Aria herself would pick, I have a detailed scene in my head where she is picking up usernames and finally comes up with that and has some argument with her twin about not changing it again, which she doesn't because she forgot the passwords. If I need an alt, I certainly will use BSP suggestions, "on_full_alert" is my favorite second choice.
2 - I somehow inclined to "Time_healls_all" but not much, it feels like the kinda of quote that she would resent. She has a weird-relationship with her healing powers. I might use the other part of that quote (time heals all wounds but scars are forever) or something scar related?
3 - Weirdly, "plugitplayit" feels like something I should offer to Kappa so she can use for a kid!Tony or a JokerTony. I do like it somehow, but I am inclined to KSP suggestions, "fine-tuned" seems fitting and the "responsible" choice, even if not as tempting as the others. I don't know why but "applied appliances" amuses me so much and "elevator music" is just soooo punny. xD

Sorry for the rambling >.>

TL,DR

1 - abodyinmotion / on-full-alert
2 - not sure yet >.> (incidently, this does sound like a screenname), I am searching scar quotes now.
3 - fine-tuned /plugitplayit / elevator-music

anyway, thanks for the ideas, they are great :)

=) Happy to help!~

Explanation of "to the quick"
Warning for Body Horror or Finger Horror
To the quick is from "cut to the quick" which is to harm someone deeply. Quick is raw or sensitive flesh, like under fingernails, so to cut someone to the quick is to harm them with a great deal of power somewhere they are vulnerable.
Also it is a pun because she is very fast!

Depending on what sort of person 2 is, possibly cicatricks, like "cicatrix" (scar of a healed wound) combined with "tricks."

'To the quick' sounds scary now o.o

Cicatricks sounds oddly cute, in a disturbing way, but doesnt quite fit? It sounds like an alt, but not the "prime" example

2 aka Meghan got her powers at 12+- and her abilities are used by bad people without her choice. She has a sort of love/hate relationship with her power. She actually enjoys healing and helping, but she hates the stereotype that Healers are poor, weak and defenseless purity sues. People at her school see her as the typical alpha-bitch without knowing her volunteer work at hospitals, she sneaks out at night to go with her friends to clubs and spends most of the night keeping watch for people in trouble. Jerkass with heart of gold...?

Punny names that have yet to acquire corresponding characters, free to good home:
  • diffractionated (vampire optics researcher? rainbow drinker?)
  • perspeculative (Luna Lovegood?)
  • conjurgal (Revelation's booty call?)
  • alethiatory
  • easyaspi
  • blowyourhousedown (for the "fuck with my friends and I will cut you" sort of Hufflepuff)
and an unscreen-name:
  • Vince Lion (a very Gryffindorish sort of name, not necessarily the good kind of Gryffindor)

Hilarious. I actually tempted by some of these, despite not having any characters in mind that would fit (well easyaspi sounds like an easy adaptation)

Considering that we have "Wolfson McWolf the Werewolf" as character in that setting xD

Diffraction is a thing that can happen to light, and fractionated is a thing that can happen to blood.
