Superheroes of the Trust Game Thread

[Shayuri]

"How about a mythological reference?" Thessaly suggests. "Aegis, the impenetrable shield of Zeus, for example."

 

[Victim]

"I'm sorry for ..." Even superspeed can't supply Megan with something to say. Your whole people gone? How can you stand it? If I lost even a few people in my life, I don't think I'd have the strength to be sitting in this room. Anything I say sounds lame.

"Aegis is taken; it's the government agency."

 

[Jemal]

Optic looked around at the team, taking stock."Well lets see, what do we have for members...
Salix; A Sentient Tree from another planet with powers over nature.
Angel; An Angel.
Brimstone; ER.. A Good Demon?
Viridian; A Good Witch.
Shooting Star; A Flying Plasma-controller.
Nightweaver; A Shadow-controlling Teleporter.
Nitro; A Famous, Tough & Strong Wrestler
And Myself, Optic; An All-seeing, Eye-Laser-shooting cool guy.
SO, what kind of name suits a team like that..."

 

[Shayuri]

Thessaly buries her face in her hands. "A good witch. You make me sound like...a guest star on Casper."

She looks up, smiling a little to make sure it was clearly a joke. "Kidding...okay...a diverse bunch. No real...connecting themes to exploit. All the good mythologies are snapped up by shadowy government agencies... What about something like 'The Infinites?' Mm...maybe a touch pretentious. Anyone got a thesaurus handy?"

 

[Raylis]

"I would suggest maybe an acronym devised from our names...but you can't make many words with six constants and two vowels..."

 

[Victim]

"Maybe we should make up a fake theme, and pick a name based on that." Shooting Star offers hestitantly. "Or we could make the acronym from the second letters in our names to get more variety."

 

[Shayuri]

"I'm not even sure I'm gonna stick with Viridian," Thessaly objects. "It's kind of a lame name, really. It just means 'green.' If I'm going public, I think I'd like a cooler name than that."

 

[Jemal]

"I'm not even sure I'm gonna stick with Viridian," Thessaly objects. "It's kind of a lame name, really. It just means 'green.' If I'm going public, I think I'd like a cooler name than that."

"Hmm.. Wendy? Sabrina? Just throwing those out there..." Optic grins back, to let her know HE'S joking. "Our Powers are Diverse, our personalities and methods differ.. But we Do have one thing in common. How about 'Spirits of Justice', in honour of our fallen would-be comrade?"

 

[Elric]

Nitro ponders his alliterative names. "How about The Intrepid Eight. It's almost an alliteration."

Ms. White comments: "Well, if you can't think of one, surely the media will make one up for you eventually. Once you fight some bad guys in public a few times, they'll name you. Hopefully, they'll give you a heroic name rather than a villainous one, but ya never know. Perhaps you think about it longer and I'll show you your quarters and some of our research facilities?
