It must difficult to go through existance without a name. Bad enough that your creator forces you to wander around in a blasted an unforgiving wasteland filled with hostile mutants, crazy humans and irradiated food and water, but to not have a name? That's just plain mean. Ok, just kidding ;)
I posted Ultrajet's main character as the "Toon with No Name" and now I'm running with it. Sorry UJ, I'm not trying to pick on you. Your toon does need a name though.
If you are familiar with Ultrajet's screenshots, maybe you have a few suggestions for her? If you're not familiar with her work, maybe you can take some time to visit her profile and take a peek at what she's done. Might get the wheel's turning :)
Speaking of names, I've been wracking my brains trying to come up with a title for the comic. I have been rejecting several I have come up with, mostly due to them sounding way to familiar to me. They have been reminding me of other comics and a few mods posted on the Nexus, actual published books, and one or two TV shows or motion pictures. I am currently working with this: The Pheonix Imperative.
What images or themes does that evoke in you? Feel free to share your thoughts on that.

ReplyDeleteI always just called UJ's character UltraJet...I didn't know she was totally nameless. If she can't think up anything I'll do some pondering on it; I'm usually pretty good at coming up with names.
ReplyDeleteAs for Phoenix Imperative...I like the Imperative part (imperative means commanding! I wasn't sure and had to look it up). I'm not sure how I feel about Phoenix. I like it, but it's giving me a strong fantasy vibe. It's probably just me, though. :P
edit: Aw, it didn't totally get rid of my other comment that I deleted. Oh well, guess you all know my name now--not that I was particularly secretive about it in the first place, but yeah. XP
She's not totally nameless Odile, her name is Linda (my real name) but I really feel strange using that name. I don't think it fits her too well.
ReplyDeleteOdile your name is Cassie? hehe I guess I am not the only one shy about real names ><
I can understand the vibe your getting from the word "pheonix", but I assure you, it does suit the theme I have in mind for the story. Any story elements I use that have more of a fantasy origin will be explained within a science fiction context. I'm not saying there will be fantasy any elements though.
ReplyDeleteI promise not to tell anyone either of your real names, okay? ;)
Thanks for the input ladies. Its nice to hear from you both :)
Cassie just sounds like a bratty 3 year old from the 1980s. Which, I guess I WAS...but..blerugh
ReplyDeleteI like Linda, though. Maybe Druuler could call her Lulu in the comic? That's a nickname, I'd gather (from your Nexus profile?) :) She really does look like a Linda though (I guess because she looks a lot like you!)
I actually like "Cassie", but I guess I will just keep that to myself.
ReplyDeleteWait...
Cassie is so adorably cute! I love brats too haha. I can be a brat myself, don't really care if I seem juvenile :P
ReplyDeleteGood idea with the name, if it fits her then we'll run with that :D
You a brat? No, say it isn't so, lol.
ReplyDeleteAlright then, your toon's new name is Lulu. So say we all!
Or maybe we don't say...lol.
ReplyDeleteFinished reading a Nexus PM from Ultrajet and she's come up with a new name and a nick name to go with it. I think I will keep it to myself for the time being, on the off chance it changes again... ;)
