I played a ranger noble named Sir Vival, and my brother played his brother in a different game, the paladin Re Vival
There was also for an Esper Genesis game, Dwane "the Croc" Johnson, stone Matoki (elementally themed lizardfolk), and the cybermancer known only as Hacker, who wore a green mask with a huge pointy chin. He could summon minion robots named Buzz and Delete.

That reminds me of a villain I created for a Champions game: Haxx0r, who had the ability to mess up any technological devices (which was especially irritating, as my solo player ran an Iron Man styled armor-wearing superhero named Jetstar). Haxx0r's secret identity was Fortney ("For") Chan.
That was a fun campaign. Jetstar also ran up against the likes of a kid's party clown hit by lightning who gained the powers of super-speed ("Velocilaughter"), a body-stretching hero wannabe ("Amoebaman"), and a mutant character very much like Marvel's villain the Mandrill who could bend women's minds to his will, and who looked like a humanoid toad ("Horny Toad").

I am working on an Dark Sun module where the PCs must kidnap and move to safety a would-be inventor who has designed an Archimedes' Screw. (A device to move water uphill, for irrigation systems).
This fellow is going to be named for the Classical Greek god of inventions. As soon as I can find that list I saw somewhere on the Web a while back.

so this will involve the taming of the screw?
Right now, he’s working on the naming of the screw.
I picked up my cousin from his job at Starbucks tonight, and because he was hungry and don’t want to talk to his Mom- who has been kinda lashing out at anyone nearby, today- I took him to IHOP.
Over dinner, we spitballed concepts for his PC in an upcoming Pathfinder campaign his friends will be playing. I had mentioned the PC design method I call “look at it, then walk away”: basically an oddball character that has so many clashing things in it that it makes most people shake their heads.
Together, we got to an anthro-Giant Panda who wears a kilt. He then came up with a name that might imply he has an elemental or draconic bloodline as a bolt-slinging sorcerer...
FLASH...PANDA-AAAAAAA!
(He’ll save every one of us!)

Eureka! (a good Greek word)
The screw is Archimedes'. The inventor is … Antiponos.
Antiponos? Not getting it...
Saw this: Saint Paulus Lang Fu, and thought, “The abbreviation for ‘Saint’ is ‘St.’...I could play St. Fu!”
(Yes, I recognize that I am a sinner and may be going to hell.)

"not working".
Still deciding if that refers to him being lazy, or the Screw isn't doing what it should, or both.

Magic Dabbler feat to get this fellow a Silence spell. Something so he can cause the Deafened condition to targets. Might be a bard / monk?
Something like that. Perhaps with some kind of Thundering/deafening weapon, an/or who enchants his ranged weapons with Silence spells.
Remember Timmy from South Park?

Well, what if he were a bit more like Billy Batson, a.k.a. Captain Marvel, a.k.a Shazam, but channeling the power of a quintet of Norse divinities?
Thor: storms, strength*
Idunn: spring, rejuvenation
Meili: Thor’s good looking brother
Mimir: wisdom
Yngvi-Freyr: virility, prosperity, fair weather, calmness & kingship
”TIMMY!”
*BOOM*
...becoming a crown-wearing, super-strong, bolt-throwing superhero with good looks, wisdom, the capacity to accelerate natural growth, and an overwhelming calm-inducing presence. I’m thinking that Meili’s abilities- never detailed in mythology, AFAIK- would be to make him glow a bit, give him the occasional flare of light from his brilliantly white teeth, and have a light breeze constantly blowing his flowing, golden locks and cape.
* if Tyr is used instead, he’s a bit more Paladin like, uses a sword, and has no power over storms. Which might be cooler.
