Like I said, simplicity can be your friend on this matter. I usually run a search on Google for name ideas. Example: search 'German surnames' and pick out one that I like the sound or meaning of.

im really bad with names currently i have Iranon Valerius Sigismund. which i dont know how i feel about it

@TruckKun

Don't sleep on simple names. If you're looking to go exotic, look up names and naming conventions that fit the heritage you imagine for your character. And more over, consider the genre you're writing in.

In short, don't feel like you need to reach for a name just for cool factor.

Isekai Hell - [Ryken] - HIdden Forbidden Sealed Depths

Abe Kaitori

That... didn't work... Errors had been made by the young ronin. First and foremost had been to permit her thirst for action sway over her behavior; Kaitori had acted brashly, entering unto the fray heedless and unprepared, brandishing her blade against the most immediate threat without thought. Second was in her assumption that the upward-stampede of crypt lurkers would instinctually bottleneck their masses through to the center of the defensive formation; the swordwielder's effort to work the flanks, though pressumably a success in drawing attention, had worked toowell, with multiple creatures directing themselves towards her. This could get messy. At least three among the horde moved towards her position. One, having taken the impact of her opening offensive, struck out first, followed by a pair in its wake.

Coming out of her Bladewave, Kaitori's assumed a Seigan-no-Kamae stance. She held her position firmly, allowing the first of the beasts to close the distance while shifting into a Waki-Gamae stance. Once her quarry was just outside the reach of her blade she commenced the motion of her counterattack: A step in, meeting the beast's charge, accompanied by a slash of her blade towards its neck. In sequence she would push off from her right leg, and begin moving back to her left, banking on her natural agility to keep some distance between herself and the ensuing pair of creatures. If they weren't inclined to move into a choke point on their own, then perhaps she could pull them back towards the center, where they might meet the volleys from her present allies, and she might lend herself to the aid of others.

@Eviledd1984 What is Weeping Willow's position in the Atrium? Would Sarah have a line of sight to go in on her?

Guardians Of Earth (A Superhero RP)

Would Sarah have a bearing on where* Weeping Willow is?

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

Anyways, awaiting matt's input on the collab post. It's close to finished.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

What did everyone think of the Kingdom Hearts 4 Teaser?

@King Kindred

To be perfectly honest, I haven't even finished KH3

Guardians Of Earth (A Superhero RP)

Back of the Atrium - Ravenbrook, NY

Slightly jet-lagged, yet nonetheless rested following her journey in with Baker, Sarah set foot on scene. At the agent's behest she had come upon the facility with an uncharacteristic stealth after being dropped off at another location nearby. What was more was that she was, for the moment, working alone from the rear of the building. This was a necessary element to the plan, as gathering too much of the team in one place ran the risk of drawing too much attention; Sarah suspected the ulterior motive of not integrating her immediately into the team proper until Baker, among others, had assessed her value, and perhaps because they were aware of and respecting her preference for working solo. So far as she was aware, only the leader of the team at the Atrium had been informed that she'd be on site, leaving the rest of her companions-to-be ignorant of the fact that they would have any ally running the fade on their target's reinforcements.

Absent a proper "uniform," she had defaulted to her usual adornements: her preferred sweater, and the ski mask to keep her face obscured. This was mostly out of a force of habit, as she doubted a small cell operating out of New York would recognize someone who had run with completely different circles three thousand miles away.

As soon as she had arrived, she found herself a safe space among walls of crates and boxes, each filled with the supplies for the syndicate's ill-intending deeds. Regularly, though at sparse intervals, she would see a guard or two pass by her hiding spot. On third of such an occasion, she would make her move. As one of the guards passed by and separated from their partner, Sarah emerged from behind the stack of cargo and immediately shed any pretense of sneaking around. An energized roundhouse kick struck a path towards the head of the passing guard, to be followed promptly by an over-the-shoulder throw while they recovered from the foot to the face.

Heroes Rise: Paragon City

Lucky Noodle Brawl

Sarah Marie King & Ken Shimazu

with Kenzo Yamamoto & Ensemble
^{Abilities Used: Chi Projection; Chi Enhanced Prowess; N/A}
@Nallore, @McNephelim

Escalation.

The denizens of the Lucky Noodle were left with little time to benefit from Sarah’s brash display. Despite the warnings from all three of them, their assailants pulled themselves up, dusted off, and began wreaking havoc on the already bruised dining room.

“Talk about a persistent lot,” he lauded through a breath of frustration. He leaned into the pair of Sarah and Kenzo, “We may need a hand or two sorting this out,” he whispered. “I’ll put in a call.”

“Yeah. Go. We’ll keep these assholes off your back,” Sarah replied from behind clenched teeth. She stood rigid, and barely broke her eyes away from the apparent ringleader of the gang.

“Do what you can. And try to relax a bit; you’ll be better for it.” Shimazu ducked away, and backtracked into the kitchen.

In the dining room, Sarah’s attention latched onto one attacker grabbing hold of a chair. At the same time in which he up his throw, Sarah gathered energy into the palm of her hand. The chair was thrown; Sarah’s imbued hand pressed against the air in the thrower’s direction; the same essence that had knocked him and his cohorts back would connect with him at chest level almost immediately after the chair had left his hands. Rounding back towards the leader, she stepped forward. “You and me,” she spat. Pressing Chi through her right arm, she aimed a strong cross to her opponent’s jaw, only for him to evade, leaving her to overstep.

She pivoted around hoping to have another go, but found herself [quickly] on the backfoot, and abandoning taking another swing.

... Because you’re not loose... Shimazu thought of his young ward, catching a glimpse of her botched attempt before he ducked behind cover in the kitchen. He pulled his phone from his pocket and dialed 9-1-1. “-- yes. Ken Shimazu from the Lucky Noodle in Little Asia. We seem to have some more troublesome patrons; requesting Paragon City Police on scene.”

Delgato Manor Support Van

Katherine Tran & Horace Wolfe

^{Abilities Used: Telepathic Linking (KT)}
@Master EffeX

“Got it!” Wolfe exclaimed after a period of diligent work. He was by no means a tech expert, nor a masterful hacker, but his commitment to solving problems could often come through in unexpected ways. Through his work, he had caught onto another agent acting remotely through the Delgato’s systems; possibly, they had been the one to trigger the alarms in the mansion. In a moment of success, Wolfe managed to restrict the other party’s access to the security systems. “What, or whoever it was that blew the whistle on us is out of the picture for now,” he said, addressing Artemis. “But considering how easily they got in before, I can’t guarantee I can keep them out. You’ll have to move quickly.”

“Hey,” KT had taken a seat beside Wolfe. “Uh… question…”

“Ask away,” Wolfe nodded.

“This person, or people… they were able to hack into the Delgato’s security systems, just like us, yeah?”

“Presumably,” Wolfe replied.

“Who’s to say they couldn’t hack into our system here?”

“What are you getting at, Miss Tran?”

“That we should at least use a different means of communication.”

“Expla--”

“Hold on.” KT seemed to freeze for a moment, eyes closed and brow furled. She envisioned Wolfe next to her, and Diana several blocks away inside the Mansion, and a psychic line connecting the three of them. Can either of you hear me?

I can. Wolfe’s voice rang out clearly in KT’s head.

OK. That’s a start. Just have to wait for Artemis. Hopefully these other hackers can’t break through telepathy. So we can at least talk like this so they won’t be able to listen in.

Sounds like a plan. He looked back at his tablet screen and pulled up the security footage from the interior of the mansion. Looks like you’ve got more company coming in a few corridors away.

Department of Superhuman Affairs

Deputy Director Gregory Vaughn

With, Annabelle Monroe
^{Abilities Used: N/A}

Ah. Good. That was almost awkward. Vaughn breathed in relief at the sound of the locking mechanisms between the two offices releasing. Still going over how his conversation with his superior would play out, he stepped across the threshold into the Director’s office; as often, he was impressed by the standard of organization and cleanliness to which Annabelle kept her workspace. “Sure,” he said in response to the offer for a cup of coffee. “Decaf please; with any luck, I’m hoping I can get some sleep tonight.” He half-laughed, and presented the folder with the hard copy report.

His face straightened as he held the folder forward. “The report from the Veridian Tech incident this afternoon. I figured I should hand it over in person. It’s been a while since we’ve had time for a proper conversation about field work.”

I'm in the same boat as Carrot.
