Hey im making a sci-fi top down shooter. One of my factions, probably the most important one in the game, is nameless. The faction is going to consist of hihgly trained warriors, who fight for peace and protect those in need. Everyone in the faction wields a "beam sword". So, I know this is vauge, but if someone could just throw some cool faction names out there, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

[Yal]

[Zeddy]

Jedi.

[Dodoced]

Halo Force Faction <xXxHFFxXx>

[Saijee]

More information would be nice

[Jiggidy]

lol thanks guys.

I think I got one, how does Eejis sound? (Taken from the word Aegis which means Protection)

Wait, what was the point of having us come up with some if you weren't giong to use any of ours? Besides that looksto simular to "IJI."
Seriously though: Go "Arctic Spyder" Fit's your light saber themed team.

^Plenty of name generators there

Some out of my own head:
- The Laser Brigade
- The Beamers
- Blade Squadron
- S.W.O.R.D. (dunno what it should stand for)
- The Peacemakers
- The Blades
- Swords of Justice
- The Beam Blasters
- The Laser League

Just use Aegis. Why use a made-up name when there's a good Latin name? Aegis sounds cool.

[Yal]

Why use a made-up name when there's a good Latin name?

Because Latin sucks. Nobody talk Latin anymore, likely for a reason.

Oh yea? And what happened to that guy anyway? Oh right, I remember, he got stabbed to death by his friends. OOooo. I agree with Yal, Latin does suck, it is such an under developed language, which is why languages that steamed off of it had to be re ruled into much more sophisticated guidelines.

Besides, why would a fraction be Latin anyway?

[Jiggidy]

lol guys. Thats why I changed the name to Eejis. Aegis is pronounced Eejis and most likely, no one will even know it was taken from a Latin word.

But Arctic Spyder is also cool.

So im stuck between the 2.

Is there a way I could do a poll?

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend PMing the mods over something like this.

Zeddi is, as always, correct.

You could of course do an unofficial poll, that is, EDIT your first post, tell people to vote between "Aejis" and "Arctic Spyder" by simply posting and saying which one they like the most, set up a deadline, and at that deadline, read the topic and take notes on what name has the most votes.

You could of course just combine the names into Eejis Spyder and thusly keep them both.

[Katuko]

But I like neither. :/ Eejis looks rather weird when written, and Spyder is apparently a common (and rather silly) attempt at "coolifying" a word. Better go with something more unique, I think. Something that captures the feel of the organization a bit better. The Latin word Aegis is associated with protection, but it's more of the religious (possibly Jedi) kind than just straight up laser-blade protection.

Tell us more about the structure of this justice organization and some better names might pop up from that.

Naw man get it right! Not Spyder, "ARCTIC SPYDER"!!! it's not about being original, it's about referencing to the ridiculously over-powered blue laser pointer, which looks like a modern light saber, which is the theme behind the fraction members! Did you even see the youtube video? It's freaking ridiculous.

Yes, I caught that, thank you. I still think the name doesn't fit very well. Besides, compared to a lightsaber and most video game lasers that handheld laser there is nothing. It's still cool, of course, but put into a game context it makes no more sense than any other word you could come up with.

Most people who recognize the name would likely connect it to cars, by the way.
