Twinborn Names

[Mistchemist16]

Personally, I think a better name for an iron compounder would be Orbit. Just like the planets, they revolve heavy objects around themselves and attack. Doesn’t make them immune to early death, but at least the name isn’t mocking them

Pewter-Duralumin should be something like Commander. The name should suggest a fighter who also can rally their troops

Iron-Tin could be something like Radar. Many would be known for storing steel sight and using it as a detailed sense. Which lets them know who’s coming

[Jayne He/Him]

What would a Tineye (Tin) and a Firesoul (Brass) be?

[LightRinger he/him]

Hotshot, Fire-eye, or The Best Firefighter EVER! As long as they had a smoke mask and goggles, they'd be unstoppable at rescues. Maybe even without the smoke mask.

What would be some good suggestions for combinations a list of all the combos we already have are on the graph linked below

All the credit for the names goes to Spider-Radiant  and good suggestion LightRinger

A-Cadmium (Slow Bubble) F-Bronze (wakefulness) I see something like Hibernator and A-Bendalloy  (speed bubble) and F-Bronze (wakefulness) being power-napper

 

[Iron-Eyes he/him]

What I would be is A-Steel and F-Gold, not sure what to call it do. If you have any ideas for different names please tell me.

Maybe something like "Assault" or "Armament" would work. The coinshot naming conventions seem to be based on sharpshooter imagery, and I'm thinking something that either hints towards a more defensive quality or someone who attacks without remorse. In combat, A-Steel + F-Gold sounds like someone who can just fire off shots without too much regard for the enemie's attacks. Yhey could go for an all out offensive, or Take a more defensive stance and just tank hits.

[Iron-Eyes he/him]

I like the name Armament.

[Faerie Braids she/her]

"Artillery", perhaps?

I feel like with that mix there is little reason to be defensive most of the time you will be far away when you attack and if you are ever hit you could have so much healing you just charge without fear because you know you will heal and they won't its a amazing combo if you are someone like Wax and are always chasing people down you don't have to worry about a ambush

There could be one with Cadmium or Bendalloy and Duraluminum called 'Timestopper' if you used Hermalurgy to get Duralumin and Cadmium or Bendalloy

The Iron compounder, if given enough time and Iron, could draw on all their weight and collapsw themselves into a black hole if they exist in the Cosmere, I think

[Jericho569]

I know I may be a little late to this thread, but I think a good name for A-Pewter + F-Iron would be "Bouncer". The name evokes that similar strongman vibe that "Thug" or "Brute" does, and it also works as a bit of a double-entendre.

When a "Bouncer" taps their stored weight alongside burning their pewter, they become like an immovable object, perfect for keeping people from getting past them, which is also perfect for the position of a professional bouncer at a club or bar. Tapping a large amount of weight just before a strike could also drastically increase the impact force of an already pewter-enhanced punch or kick.

Additionally, when a "Bouncer" stores their weight they become much lighter, and in combination with the increased strength from burning pewter, they could easily leap great heights/lengths and fall safely, while remaining incredibly maneuverable thanks to pewter's enhanced balance. This makes them, in a way, almost literally "bouncy", as they leap between streets, walls, ledges, rooftops, balconies and more.

Wont lie. I read this and immediately thought of the Gummy Bears show and their gummy bear juice.

Sharpshooter or Spotter

I really like the idea of compounding though and wouldn't mind Swift, Sated, or Eagle Eye.

[JustQuestin2004 he/him]

I think Stalker would be a good name for a Pewterarm/Windwhisperer combo. Because they'd be physically relentless, nearly incapable of tiring out with enough pewter, and with F-Tin they can easily track down anyone through tapping smell to track like a bloodhound, tapping hearing to the point they can hear someone's breathing and heartbeats and tapping sight to spot people from far away.

I've heard a name from a rankings list that this combo could also be named a Spook, due to his time when he became a Tin Savant and a Pewterarm from a Spike. This combination is definitely better than pairing A-Tin with A-Pewter in my opinion, since there's no chance you'll get permanently overwhelmed by sensory information and can precisely control which sense gets enhanced and by how much.

Why are Chromium compounders Ringers?

We don't know. Feruchemical chromium gives Fortune, so enhancing that could make someone super lucky, but why would that mean "ringer'?

Exactly, like what even is a ringer. I think it is because "Ringer" implies skilled deception. The term "ringer" comes from a slang term for an expert who is brought into a competition to deceive others and guarantee a win. This perfectly describes a Chromium Compounder's advantage.

Where did you get that Chromium Compounders are called "Ringer?" A ferring is confirmed as a Spinner, but I cannot see where this term may have originated. 

Sounds like it ws a Non-Canon MAG (Mistborn Adventure Game) term. WoB:

Questioner

The Mistborn RPG. How involved are you still in that? Are they still making-- I got the two supplements they made.

Brandon Sanderson

The first one, I was very involved in. The second two, I let my assistants take over. Because I just have too much to do. So, I'm only involved as much as I like-- the original core, and then I've given the okay to go forward. But I made them put, particularly for the second two, the disclaimer at the front that says "This isn't canon, guys. It's canon for your version of the universe, that you're roleplaying." And I think that's just fine, because your roleplaying stories are only canon for your group anyways. I mean, I will have to have the freedom to come up with things I need to come up with, and I told them that. I said, like, Alloy, I was not planning to do this era, so I don't have the detailed notes I can give you on the other ones about all the houses and things.

None of the Twinborn or Compounder names from MAG are considered canon, until/unless used in a book or WoB.
