We all have played SR games where it has been tough to come up with a street name or where we made one up off the cuff, but then there are those really good ones. You know the ones I mean. The ones were its just cool to say and you should get points every session for saying it.

Normally we try to think of names that fit our character's personality. I chose Lazarus because of an event in that character's background (actually he chose it himself). It was after heavy cybersurgery late in his career, and after losing essence he felt as if he had some how changed. Of course this is more of a take on being resurrected but in a bad way. As in you get a second chance, but the cost is more than you thought it was going to be.

So what other names out there that you think are cool, and do you have a background story behind it? Just curious.

(And no I don't think Lazarus is a super cool name, to me it is, but hey that's why we rp right? :D )
