Ryoga Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I suppose this will be a double-idea thread. First, Suggest a name for My Communist-Captain America. Please, my original Idea of Hammer and Sickle is just....meh. You can also throw in how you got your character name/other possible names with a suggestion or opinion. My Ideas thus far: Hammer and Sickle Red Star (Fairly sure it's taken by an actual Marvel/DC type) Red Wall (Not the mice) Comrade Star Commissar Kaiser The Tsar Thanks in advance. Link to comment
Folkert Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 DC: Red Star Marvel: Red Guardian Might I ask from which country CC (Captain Communist ) comes as this will affect my answer? By the way, I think Tsar and Kaiser (german for Emperor) would be particularly bad choices for a communist hero. Link to comment
Dr Archeville Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Don't be afraid to use names from existing sources -- we've got a ManBat Muzhik (pronounced "moozh-eek") -- Russian for "peasant," if the char is one who wants to be associated more with the people and less with the Soviet government/Red Army/secret police. (Taken from the Silver Age Sentinels RPG.) Link to comment
Ryoga Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 Wow, completely forgot Kaiser was German. Thought Tsar was Russian. Meh. I didn't know if there was a Russia in the Universe, so I left the country to the imagination. I was writing him with the thought of Russia. And I like the Muzhik idea, mainly because he made an attempt to become dictator of Russia with a small army, and still intends to do so one day. So, if anything, he'd be trying to set up a communist government, and he'd need the people to feel he was on an even level with them. Link to comment
Folkert Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Sorry, if I gave a wrong impression: Tsar is definitely russian. (And this world does have a Russia.) I just see no way how a truly convinced communist would ever name himself after the very symbol of oppression, the Tsar. But since he tried to set himself up a a dictator, he probably is no hardcore communist, anyway. Link to comment
Ryoga Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hrmmm..I just read your first post on it. Captain Communist. I like it. Simple, Like Captain America...only communist! >.< Link to comment
Folkert Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Probably something an 'inventive' american reporter came up with. Still, everything is better than Marvel's first attempt to create a german equivalent for Cap: Der VORMUND !!! (As in the law term "Guardian of a ward" :shock: ) Thank you, Marvel! :nono: Link to comment
