You're considering superheroism, you're already being far too dramatic.

[janebond]

I won't do it halfway, then.

Now to think of a good callsign.

[thephix]

I hope you aren't expecting me to be your sidekick.

[janebond]

Awww, I had a cute look all picked out :(

[thephix]

[nikita no.]

My curiosity is almost getting the best of me.

[janebond]

[ you misspelt yes ]

Not until you answer the first question.

[thephix]

If you need a mask, I'm sure we can come up with something far better than those two options.

[janebond]

Not a question of need.

[ More like "would like to keep in case of emergency". ]

[thephix]

I wish my designer was here, but I suppose we can make do.

For starters, I'm ruling out domino masks.

[janebond]

[ She can sew. It's not the same thing as having someone who knows how kevlar/nomex should be cut and fitted. ]

Ew.

[ yep. ]

[thephix]

Exactly. But a full face mask makes breathing difficult; especially in a fight. A cowl is probably best.

[janebond]

What kind of materials are we looking at here?

[thephix]

That depends on whether you want to risk concussions or not.

[janebond]

Let's go with no.

[thephix]

Then you'll require a heavier material.

[janebond]

Cape Y/N

[thephix]

Definitely not, they're too dangerous. I don't have the resources here I would in my world, either, so it may be best to work with pre-existing garments: leather jackets, motorcycle gear, etc.

[janebond]

That just leaves a good codename.

[thephix]

Is there something wrong with Wildflower?

[janebond]

[ oh she is never letting that one go. ]

Nothing's wrong. Just Plan B.

[thephix]

I believe most names are themed around a person's powers.

[janebond]

Isn't that too obvious?

[ Nikki has never met superheroes, oops. ]

[thephix]

This is superheroes we're talking about. Subtlety isn't their strong point.

[janebond]

Point taken.

[ she's going to have to get used to superheroes. ]

How's "Guardian"? Too on the nose?

[thephix]

Again, superheroes.

I find working with common nouns to be somewhat difficult, though.
