Ryoga Posted June 4, 2008 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.
Folkert Posted June 4, 2008 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.
Dr Archeville Posted June 4, 2008 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.)
Ryoga Posted June 4, 2008 Author 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.
Folkert Posted June 4, 2008 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.
Ryoga Posted June 4, 2008 Author Posted June 4, 2008 Hrmmm..I just read your first post on it. Captain Communist. I like it. Simple, Like Captain America...only communist! >.<
Folkert Posted June 4, 2008 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:
