Since the main character seems to be a combination of Alex Mercer (prototype), and Jackie Estacado (The Darkness), I decided to name him Jack Mercer.

For the superhero name, i just chose something edgy and goth, didnt put much thought into it. I chose Darklight.

What are the Hero/Vigilante names you guys and gals chose?? Im curious!
Guyver. It's from an old manga, Bio-Booster Armor Guyver, where a young man finds himself bonded with a symbiotic suit of living armor. It was just the first thing that came to mind when asked for a name while wearing living armor, even if the MC's armor is not much like the Guyver unit. Over time I've felt it's become pretty appropriate, though. In the manga, the Guyver was created by aliens trying to turn humans into living weapons, which they abandoned after it turned out the humans always rebelled. "Guyver" is even revealed to be a word in their language meaning "out of control". I feel that works well for this story about being given power by creatures from another world and using it to fight against them.

For the name, I name all my MCs with my name and I didn't know what kind of game it will be since it was set in university, so I named him Max.

For his superhero name I honestly didn't have an idea until I thought about it and I was like; "He looks likes a living skull", so I choose The Skull. :ROFLMAO:
I always name my guy Judgement.

My superhero name is "No-Thing".

I tried to play it off like, the crowd asked "whats your superhero name?", MC replied "nothing" and people misheard it as The No-Thing. And I feel like the name fits because MC technically doesn't have a set shape or body, they're nothing (and everything)

I get lots of appropriately edgy lines like "I am No-Thing," or "I love No-Thing" too.

(plus man-thing vibes, mmm eldritch tentacle monsters)

My superhero name is Nightwish after the band (fits the aesthetic) and it works perfectly with the story - I actually forgot you get to pick the name it looks so natural to me right now.

The MC's name is John Doomscroller which is hilarious to me because I keep forgetting the last name until one of the NPCs is like "Come with me, Mr. Doomscroller"

I'm usually pretty bad with naming and cool nicknames but i came up with "Shadowmorph" and i'm pretty happy about it. As for the MC name i went for an uninspired Lucas Green, it's just a name that for some reasons i use by default for all Mcs in AVNs, dunno why lol

Dado que el personaje principal parece ser una combinación de Alex Mercer (prototipo) y Jackie Estacado (The Darkness), decidí llamarlo Jack Mercer.

Para el nombre del superhéroe, elegí algo atrevido y gótico, no le di demasiada importancia. Elegí Darklight.

¿Cuáles son los nombres de héroes y justicieros que eligieron ustedes, chicos y chicas? ¡Tengo curiosidad!

I named my MC Logan Mercer, mostly due to same reasons as you, except I have never read the Darkness comics. I instead picked his first name due to him having a similar healing factor to Wolverine.

As for the hero name, I picked Typhon, the King of Monsters because thats what I want my MC to be. Give him a throne made out of the bones of his enemies and a gaggle of hoes around it, I will accept nothing less.

Uh i wasnt even aware you guys are talking about Liz but mc is definitely not innocent in the conflict with deryl and im unable to comprehend how you dont consider the mc as a kind of stoic and apathetic guy, thats kinda his whole vibe, hes simply not very empathetic lol

but if i rememer it right you can influence it with your choices in the flashback, so maybe you just took the bitch choices, i dont know

Yes he has emotions at times but emotional or particualry angry considering what he experiences is really the last thing i woud characterize him with lol

that was just my patricipation to the discussion, i dont really care if you consider liz a good LI or not, youre free to feel about that however you want. I think shes a unique and fun LI tho even if shes not the best
Do you not know the difference between visual and inner monologue.

The flashback is the same, you imagined your bitch choices.

Being driven requires you be passionate about something/

Dude don't end it with I didn't really care, if you didn't care you wouldn't have replied. I think she's poorly done as a love interest.

MC certainly got the worst of it, but they were both provoking each other. MC literally started the feud IIRC by scaring off the girl Deryl was having sex with, and then informing Amber about his infidelity(?). If that was bullying, then it was mutual bullying, which is why Liz and Amber didn't pick sides. It wasn't entirely clear who was in the wrong.


My point was that even if you like emotional distance, you might still prefer Liz over Tiffany, since you didn't seem to think that made sense.
And MC is more like Liz than he is other people. I think part of Liz's character development is, if she hasn't already (I don't remember if she's displayed any signs of that), going to be about becoming driven to get stronger, not just for Amber but because she enjoys fighting and growing. Just like the MC.
Others have already addressed the first point well enough.

The whole emotional distance thing can work, it works for Tiffany, because the MC responds the way you would expect, he finds her interesting and hot, but there's never a hint of love.

The problem with Liz is we are told the MC is in love with her, and sure they could add backstory to show how that came about, but we are just told it without feeling it, it's the sort of thing you needed to have seen to get and the flashback we have seen doesn't do the whole relationship any favors, I would better believe him and Deryl falling for each other. We understand how Alice, (who seems indifferent on the surface) and him get together because there's build up.

Bro you seem to be the slow kind of guy. What are you even trying to say there?

My part of the discussion was if it was bullying or not (which it wasnt).

I couldnt give less of a fuck what you think about liz, youre free to hate here, whatever.

I went with Nocturne for the superhero name.
And Vorx Rask for the Mc name.

I stopped reading after the first line, your past comments where bitchy but if you are just going to go to outright insults I'm not here to deal with people who are childish when someone disagrees with them. I'll not be reading any future comments you post.
