  1. Okay, what's the most disgusting name out there....Britanic Jerald Jansink? No, that's taken. Though it would provide The Dalles thread with an interesting twist. And by interesting, I mean "so horrible I want to bleach my brain for thinking of it."
  2. I should probably come up with a name for Quota, shouldn't I?
  3. Interesting question. You see, one of his teachers was a student teacher that year. Far from being the bright-eyed idealistic sort most associate with a molder of young minds fresh out of university, this student teacher had a fondness for mind games and a somewhat twisted sense of humor. He liked to change the deadline for an assignment at the last minute, joking that if his students didn't have the assignment on his desk by the due date, he'd "break out the battleaxe." Milton knew he was joking, but the twisted, gleeful grin this teacher wore when he joked like that made Milton wonder if he might indeed show up with a battleaxe one day. Fortunately, this student teacher was given a failing grade for his practicum when a little girl named Angel Zoe Finch showed up in her next class crying. This teacher took her tale to the principal, who reported the teacher and had him banished from the premises. Angel later reported this student teacher for stalking her with a battleaxe that turned out to be fake. Rumors flew that Mr. Springfield, the US History teacher she cried to, offered to teach little Angel to shoot. True of not, she did to on to become quite the shot with a rifle.
  4. Sam, in that same vein, is the cute goth girl he admired from afar but never spoke to for fear of rejection. Revolution is his sister, a girl at the bottom of the social totem pole but strangely content and even somewhat cool in her position. Nighthound is his Id, the darkest, least restrained part of his personality that he both fears and views as useful in his current plight.
  5. Could Brandon Sanderson turn The Featureless Plane Of Disembodied Dialogue into a cool setting? I'll bet he could.
  6. Atlanta. That'll be cool. I'd been hoping for New Orleans, but Atlanta is a pretty distinctive city on its own.
  7. "Well, what about Voidgaze? Sweetest Epic who ever lived. Used to make waffles for people--un-poisoned waffles, by the way." "She's an urban legend." "What about the waffles?" "So are the waffles. Waffles have always been an urban legend." "Oh yeah? What about this old restaurant called Waffle House? How do you explain THAT?"
  8. "He had a girlfriend but I can't remember her name."
  9. I dreamed Koschei and a few other Oregon characters were mentioned in Calamity. I'm really hoping this is a sign or something.
  10. Ooh. The name "Finch" reminds me of Harold Finch, an awesome character from one of my favorite shows, Person of Interest. I like that name a lot.
  11. You could call her Zoe. It means "life," which could hint at her destiny to destroy Timeport and save countless lives. Then an ordinary sort of surname, like Richards or Watson or something similar.
  12. Just go to a random name generator and keep clicking until you find one you like. That's how I name a lot of my oneshot characters. (Except for Ricardo. That one was from a line in a song where the singer says, completely out of the blue, "Ricardo! If you have to ask, you'll never know.")
  13. "Hello. Your name is Nighthound. You are unforgivably creepy. Prepare to die."
  14. Are there any other Downtoners here? Let me rephrase that: Is there anyone else on the site who was surprised to find that a show about wealthy British people and their servants talking about their problems was one of the most exciting things on television?
  15. True. It's called "East West College Bowl," if you're interested.
  16. There's a Key and Peele video with some awesome names, but I cannot for the life of me see an Epic calling himself "Hingle McCringleberry" or "The Epic Formerly Known as Mousecop."
  17. Ruin? I'd say you just improved it a great deal.
  18. Sometimes a post is so good there's nothing you can say in response to it.
  19. I know what you mean. We get a lot of snowbirds in the winter, meaning I'll usually drive to work surrounded by drivers who don't believe in turn signals or exceeding speeds of 40 mph. And they're the competitive sort of old people, too, so if you try to pass them, they'll speed up just enough to keep you from ducking in front of them, then slow down once you get behind them again.
  20. Quota has been around for a while. I'm thinking he got his powers around the time cross-border communications, especially the internet, went down, so probably….oh, six or seven years? That would place him in his early twenties, since he was an immature fourteen-year-old internet troll before Calamity.
  21. "And the rider (hic) astride the pale horse spake unto me, 'Get me another beer!'l
  22. Now, now, Kobold....I know Nighthound is horrible, but I don't think we need to be too drastic here....
  23. Is decapitation an influence?
