Nickname

[groupon]

What's your (Nick)Name?

Aliases, nicknames and pet names, or even titles. Like "pet shaming", instead with cool (or embarrassing) nicknames written on big signs for the world to see!

○ Post your character with the name and canon on the subject line

○ By some magical force, signs appear around your character displaying their nicknames. Write them all down on the comments section. 

○ Tag out! Ask about how they got that nickname, and tell them how you got yours!

takahashi akira | yohaji! | ota

[seeinside]

[ This guy's looking at his own sign with mild bemusement. "Psychopath", "That Thing", "Voyeur", "Eye-Freak", and "Doc". ]

Hm! One of these is a little different from the others.

[scholene]

In what discipline or disciplines are you a doctor?

[ yes, he focused on the most important one. ]

[seeinside]

Officially I'm a general practitioner, but I offer surgical care as well.

[ He offers...a lot. It's a whole thing, but it's fine! ]

i'd be sorry about so many fucking threads but also, na.

[blattella]

Want me to come up with a better one than Doctor Bud?

[as if that's not the best he's got without getting even more disgusting :((( ]

never apologize, get over here ♥

[seeinside]

Well now that you offered I'm curious what you've got!

Bandou Saburouta | K | OTA

[pettymuch]

All this guy has is 'San-chan', 'Sabu-chin' and 'Prince Bandou'.
They're all based off his real name.
Now accepting creative submissions.
*This sign not liable for any headaches resulting from Bandou's inevitable petty complaining.

[skelters]

Prince?

[ doubt.jpg ]

[pettymuch]

She's only called me it once, but I'm not gonna argue it. It makes me sound pretty cool!

somber (dark urge) | baldur's gate 3 | ota

[audioslave]

[ Chief, Milord, Cub, Bhaal Babe, Little Rabbit, Songbird, Sir Fluffington...

The list goes on for a bit, but his eyes linger on one of them. ]

I don't remember that one.

Sister Friede | Dark Souls 3 | OTA

[rotandruin]

[There's a few: Sister Friede, Blackflame Friede, Leader of the Sable Church

But the one that she's staring at with a pinched expression is also, (not) coincidentally written larger than the rest:

Elfriede of Londor

Turns out "Friede" is the nickname.]

gregor | limbus company

[blattella]

[Greg, sweetie, son, Manager, deserter.]

Geh...

Maedhros | the Silmarillion | OTA

[holdshisown]

[Nelyo, Russandol, Kinslayer, Monster, Murderer.]

...

[deathofawildcat]

Who did you kill, kinslayer?

[ Fellow family killer??? ]

[holdshisown]

[One does not need to kill actual family to be a kinslayer among his people, it's enough to kill another of his kind to earn that title.]

Too many to be able to remember, or even know, all their names.

vash | trigun stampede

[skelters]

[ spikey, needles, idiot, dumbass, blondie, freak, weirdo, monster... the list goes on ]

Yato | Noragami

[intertwinedfates]

[Yatty, Jersey, Drippy, Sweaty, Sunderer of the Heavens, Yaboku. That last one looks like it's had a marker and a sword taken to it in an attempt to cross it out.]

Why can't I get more cool names, huh?

Lady Nagant | BNHA

[beautifulshot]

[There are a few listed but there some with crossed out words that she's focused on more than the others.

Remilia Scarlet (Adult) | Touhou Project | OTA

[scarlet_devil]

[ 'The Eternally Young Scarlet Moon,' 'Vampire of the Heavy Fog,' 'The Scarlet Devil' to name but a few of her 'nicknames.' ]

Heh. I have you all beat.

[ Also known as 'The Vampire,' since she's the most well known one in Gensokyo. ]

Nikol | Xenoblade Chronicles 3

[nikolplated]

[His nickname list doesn't really have much.

Bladeless. Burden. Kid. Kiddo.

...He's kind of looking at the 'Bladeless' one a little bit though.]

thomas shelby | peaky blinders | ota

[tunnelled]

[His are: 'Tommy', 'Tom' and lastly 'The Devil'.

That third would be less conspicuous if the other two weren't so ordinary. He scratches vaguely at a spot behind his ear, ducks his head and clears his throat. He bears the briefest passing resemblance to a boy who's been caught with his hand inside a cookie jar.

He does not deny it, yet equally he did not anticipate it.]

[canikeephim]

          [ It was obvious which nickname piqued Elle's curiosity. Without a word, she crossed her arms and slowly circled him. No tail. No horns. A subtle pout of disappointment formed on her lips as she paused in front of him. Blue eyes searched his face. He didn't look like someone who would have such a nickname. But no one would have guessed Elle had been called The Executioner before, either. ]

          So, [ she began, tone almost cheerful, ] seems you been a bad boy, huh?

[tunnelled]

[There was no way to plan for this. He'd made no prior preparations for what he'd do if there were suddenly a sign on him for everyone and anyone to see. He was surprised, but the surprise wears off quickly. The childishness in him goes with it.

He lifts his chin to a neutral height so that he can comfortably stare straight ahead. He doesn't follow her with his eyes when she goes around one side and comes back on the other. His head didn't turn. She could have done anything at his back, out of his sight. He doesn't guard himself against the risk of that, treating it as no business of his. It's only when she's in the path of where he's already staring that he might be said to be looking at her in return.

There is more wiry muscle on him than suggested by the layers of his designer suit, but he is not a man of impressive physical stature overall. His posture is loose about the shoulders, a far cry from standing at attention.

She speaks, he hears. He lets the silence stretch between them. Unless she'll fill that silence by speaking again herself, she will have to wait for his answer.]

My whole life, a devil. [The Devil now, singular and more terrible. He doesn't know exactly when or why this started. He can take a good guess at who.] Maybe this is progress.

Do you object?

Yvain Crows-Son || fantasy OC

[bastard_crow]

The Wolf of the Crossroads, Kingslayer, Patricide, Little Crow, Little Knife, King's Bastard, Boy, Welp, Crows-Son

Damn, only one of these is one I chose. And some of these I've never heard, I wonder if my mother called me such endearing things when I was too young to remember.

[dejabrewed]

[ the list is as follows: “Sandy”, “San-chan”, “Grumplephon”, “Dally”, and “useless scrap”.

… sandalphon simply sighs at that last one, and tries to find a marker to cross it out. ]
