Hi everyone. Encino here. It’s been a tradition for years to get their nickname given to them on the forums.
Now, I understand that some of you just give yourself nicknames or get them from friends, and that’s fine, this is just an optional tradition.
I got my nickname from a boomer player 6 years ago in 2017-ish. And with that I’ve had my personal behavior change and adopted the nickname “Encino Man” into my personal life, morphing my aesthetic taste into liking caveman and primal aesthetics, and I feel this is something you can’t get through nicknaming yourself. You miss out on something, I think.
And so, I’m bringing it here. It’s optional, you don’t have to take it, but remember that not every nickname is cool or flashy or cute. In fact, most of them are banter in some form or another.
Here’s the template:
Character Name: Favored Role/Position: Favored Weapon: Character Description: Unique Character Abilities:

Misa Mars
Not sure on this one, not anything too easy. I like the idea of a triple M though, maybe Misa ‘Matryoshka’ Mars? Kinda clunky though. I’ll think on it and come back if I got anything better.

Jane Jacobson
Synthetic
N/A
Never bothered making an ingame description buuut… Dyed red hair, average height for females, tends to be an asshole when met with idiocy but overall a fun person to be with when you’re on her good side.
The ability to display sarcasm yet people take it seriously.

Unique Abilities:
Bayonet Charge
Powerloader Charge
Deep Pockets
Piloting (doesn’t CAS on ferry, and doesn’t evac on flyby )
Those are silly nicknames and I find them enjoyable. Not sure if I’ll use squirt though since 2 things come to mind. One being a midget/ short person or the other being. . . I’ve been exposed to the internet too long, doesn’t help my character is female.
Could go with ‘Fireball’ considering they run CAS.(Or maybe they just crashed a lot during flight sims)
‘Butter’ would also work, considering they’re usually low-ranking officer roles, O-1s are usually nicknamed ‘butter bars’ due to their rank insignia resembling one.
