Names for New Drakes

Post by Jetrel »

Before we can add the third levels for the drakes, we need names for them.

We need names for a level-3 Gladiator, a level-3 slasher, and a level-3 flyer.
The fellows on the right, basically:
Neoriceisgood wrote:I'm not sure what the Gladiator's third advancement name should be; I'm thinking of something like Nefarious Drake or another synonim for http://thesaurus.reference.com/search?q=diabolic being wicked; It's status would resemble that of the Drake Gladiator itself with the overal extra points in attacks; however his big advantage over the other branches and levels of the Clasher is that he finally gains the ability to fly (Hence the large wings) appart from that he's mostly just an ordinary advancement of the Gladiator.

The advancement for the Drake Slasher would be called something like "Drake Guard" or something with a similar meaning http://thesaurus.reference.com/search?q=guard and his main mechanics is being one tough cookie, His attack value etc. barely raise, And he doesn't gain any extra abilities like flight- however- the huge amount of armor he's wearing gives him extra protection against all non-magical attack manners making him like, Drake's awnser to heavy defenders in other factions; Though his biggest disadvantage lies in that his cold defence is still minimal meaning that things like Dark Adepts(?) can easily outdo him if they manage to get a shot at him in ranged attack.

As for my own ideas:

Drake Warden.
Drake Punisher. (EP suggested Warmonger).
Thunder Drake. (I believe this is what neo wanted him called before).

I like the first two names, but I would rather call it Hurricane Drake than Tornado Drake, but Tornado Drake could be good if there was an alternate combat-oriented level-3 glider.

The one in a cloak looks like a Gerald to me. The two plus-sized ladies in fish-net stockings - Daphne and Jacqueline, perhaps?

Or maybe my glasses need cleaning.

Drake Aeronaut or Daredevil are a bit different for the flyer.

Drake Conqueror for the top of the Gladiator line.

Drake Armsman or Master-at-Arms, or Deliverer or Liberator for the other one.

Warden is good, although I prefer 'Cataphract'
Punisher is good.
For the third, how about 'Gale Drake', since it's just a flier and doesn't really fly around in circles; or 'Boom Drake' because it makes a sonic boom?

Maybe not the second... :P

It's orriginal naming was "Hurricane Drake" Yeah, Though Gale Drake sounds nice;

"Tornado Drake" Was a name idea I had for a different path for the glider; Perhaps if we call the level 3 skydrake Gale Drake the alternate path could just be


Tornado Drake -> Hurricane Drake;

Other names seem fine to.

My suggestion for the Slasher L3: "Drake Ripper"

BTW: Why do You use such great blades and clubs in the Dragon Images?
I recon they would look more impressive (and different from other units) without un-natural weaponry but greater size, intense skin color and razor sharp fangs ... at least, drakes really could be proud of their natural weapons ...

How about Drake Guardian for a Lv. 3 Gladiator?
I speak what's on my mind.

Which is why nothing I say makes sense.
