Possible Alchemical names?

[Hand of Destiny]

Anyone got any ideas for Alchemical names apart from those on the Wiki.  I'm tempted to make up a soulsteel caste called Megatron :lol:

 

[Persell]

Euh...


Terminator?


HAL?

 

[Lotus1]

your dumb, i would go with something more original like... Iron Giant.

 

[Lotus1]

Tin man could work.

 

[Hanat-Osul]

You can use the standard formula, "[adverb][adjective][noun]," i.e. Excessively Righteous Blossom, or just "[adjective][adjective][noun]," i.e. Instructive Radiant Arrow" (one of my own).


There's also "[adjective][noun] of [noun]," i.e. Miraculous Icon of the Talents or Luminous Glyph of Rectitude.


Or you can just make up something poetical, i.e. Sheets of Mercury in the Steam (which one of my players made up - madd props Drucifer).


With Alchemicals, I find that focusing on the religious aspect of Autocthonian culture provides a lot of good name material.  The communist aspect can be useful, too.  Don't just try and use a lot of machine words.[/i]

 

[Lotus1]

you gonna believe all that "adjective/noun mombojombo. Or are you gonna believe a straight talker like myself? I am telling you, R2D2 is the way to go. or if you wanna get CRAZY shoot for C3PO

You ever heard the phrase, "dramatic foil"?

 

[Lotus1]

No

 

[Jukashi]

The deathlords wrap spare abyssal shards in dramatic foil, you see, to stop them leaking angst all over the bottom of the fridge.

 

[Quchu]

Someone in the Wiki mentioned how Alchemicals' names are all italicized... like names of battleships. I think it's a pretty cool idea, for some reason.

 

[Hand of Destiny]

valiantly adamant dreadnought sunk my battleship


Wreck of the Hesperus?


Synergy of righteous thought? or does that sound like part of the eightfold path?

 

[Hand of Destiny]

Exemplary jade Navvy  (American's check you UK thesaurus I haven't written navy wrong by mistake )

 

[Jakk Bey]

Righteous Spoiler of the Speedy Demise...and be sure that the character does have a properly dramatic and upswept do...

 

[Quchu]

Hundredfold-Alloyed Engine of Absolution. The name of Alchemical character I am/was playing in a high-powered modern setting. It used to be Threefold-Alloyed, but I picked Hundredfold because H.Alloyed sounds more similar to HAL (His shortened nickname was Al, too. >_>)


Oh, well. Can't think of any good name, but Indefatigable needs to be used somewhere.

 

[Lotus1]

Immense Engine of Rectal Probulation

 

[Hanat-Osul]

Hundredfold-Alloyed Engine of Absolution.

Great name.  Way to combine the machinery theme & the religious theme.

 

[Solfi]

Immense Engine of Rectal Probulation

:shock:  


[in his best Stewie Griffin voice] ... awww, is that you? Is it? Are you the Immense Engine of Rectal Probulation? Here, have a lollipop.

 

[Persell]

Heavenly Aurulent Lotus aka HAL.

 

[Persell]

Aurulent? That a word?


I give you a +12 Gentoo of Awesome Coolness for your avatar, by the way.

 

[Solfi]

aurulent


a. gold-coloured.

 

[Persell]

Yes, Hollow-Ichigo is a god. Until Ichigo rips off the hollow mask.  :shock: That was scary in its self.


And a thesaurus is your friend for finding obscour words.

 

[Solfi]

And a thesaurus is your friend for finding obscour words.

True. Although this particular word wasn't trivial to find. I checked. Amusingly enough I actually found a limerick pertaining to how unknown the word is...


Colorado? I filmed there last fall


For a tourism piece, I recall,


Titled "Aurulent"—yes,


Leaving viewers to guess


It meant "Golden in color", you all.

 

[Persell]

Yeah, I stumbled upon it. I can't even remember the word that yielded aurulent as an alternate word.

 

[Solfi]

Aurocephalous Splendor
