How about "the Asura", after the six-armed warring divinities of Hindu and Buddhist myth? Though that might not work for your setting, being somewhat culture-specific

I really enjoyed playing my Rage Prophet.

I once had a dragonborn who earned the name Giantslayer.

He earned it because right after he killed a giant, he raised his arms and yelled "I did it!" only to be knocked out immediately by an orc giving an axe to his chest.
It was one of those nicknames that you can't live down.

Not my character, but my friend's.

His character was covered in orc blood by the end of the encounter, so he was nicknamed the Scarlet Ranger through the rest of the campaign.

I used to try hard and come up with titles in the background, but they end seeming forced.

Now I only adopt titles if I get them during gameplay. During our last campaign I ended doing all short of shit and got lots of titles like Emissary of the North, King Under the Mountains, The Last Barbarian, Master of The Nine, The Wind Sword, Dragonslayer (That really felt good), The Time Traveler, Flutemaster, The Scourge of Redpick... and much more I got writen in my sheet.

In the campaign I'm currently playing I am a knight of sorts with a shining blade and we ended killing a shadow fiend so they call me Lightbringer.

>tl;dr: Yes but better if you manage to earn them playing and achievinng mad deeds.

The Butcher of Vladivostok.

As the keenest and most discerning minds of /tg/ might suspect, I got this by butchering Vladivostok. Teleported a bunch of ships from the harbor into the air and let gravity to do the rest.

I had Tarc the Tarc. He was named after himself.

For you, I suggest The Six Armed Bandit. Or something nice and simple, like Insect.

>all this edgy shit

I played a Shifter Monk once. His name was 'Runt' because he was tossed out of his village for being one, he was significantly shorter than the average Shifter (and most of the party), and his Dwarven master thought it was hilarious.

Spider names are good here.
>Black Widow
>Tranatula
>Huntsman
>Salmon Pink Birdeater
Lots of great nicknames to choose from.

>Isperia the Magnificent
Her stage-name (she's an illuionist-storyteller by trade). Picked to sound as fancy as possible, because she would very desperately like to convince people that she is Important, and every little bit helps.

>Princess of the Evergreen Empire
The Evergreen Empire consists entirely of one really big tree, populated by intelligent squirrels. She recovered some magical something-or-other for them that they needed to keep the tree alive, and the Emperor said she could ask for anything within his power and he'd grant it. So she asked to be a princess, because it's impressive and it's not like they'd have anything else she was really interested in.

>Duchesse du Quatrième Étage
My French might be wrong here, of course. Anyway, she helped to negotiate a lasting peace between a bunch of servants of a long-dead book-god living in the ruins of His heavenly tower and was ennobled for her deed, but since "Duchess of the Fourth Floor" doesn't sound very impressive, she usually dresses it up in suitably foreign-sounding words. I look forward to the day that someone understands her.

She might be getting a new noble title soon, too. She's apparently a collector.

Not everyone plays pathetic characters in their 40s who have no significant characteristics, save for their flaws.

Well, six arms, two legs. Something spider related?

That could be fun. I had a friend who played an Ogre named tiny in a "band of merry men" thieves game I ran once. He always followed orders because he was the runt of the ogre pack he was saved from, and he loved big glasses of milk whenever everyone else was getting drunk.

>Their name derives from the Greek ἑkατόν (hekaton; "hundred") and χείρ (kheir; "hand"), "each of them having a hundred hands and fifty heads" (Bibliotheca). Hesiod's Theogony (624, 639, 714, 734–35) reports that the three Hekatonkheires became the guards of the gates of Tartarus.

Over a really long session in which our party did what they wanted between adventures I became a mercenary warlord with emphasis on lawful neutral and good product and practices begets resale and returning customers while underhandedness and not paying up led to bad ends the warband became a quazi- nation of loyal soldiers(think arabian MSF big boss with farmers and peasants feeding him for protection) whenever i rode around on jobs i would get mixed reactions
Defender of Jörmungdun
Ormazd the tyrant
Ormazd the mercenary king
Ormazd the Just
Ormazd the Ravener
Ormazd oath/pact-keeper
Ormazd of the goblins


Then I went insane because I stupidly bought a cursed scroll that gave me limited fire type stuff that drove me cray as I used it side effects include arabic script covering my body and losing hair and clothing
Ormazd the mad
Short tempered
Ormazd the bald
Ormazd of the scriptures

(Tyros) the Invincible, because between Pathfinder's mythic being bonkers, getting the Unearthly Grace special rule from nymphs, being a paladin and a homebrewed class relying on Charisma for different kinds of buffs... there was nothing in the campaign that could get past my AC, or get through my saves. Post-campaign i had over 110 AC and like 60 in Reflex, my worst save.

>>44260682
Think of what you could have done if those had been actually good weapons.

Myrmex. Ant in greek.

Ants are strong as a motherfucker and have six legs. Even though a spider theme would be more appropiate, as your pit fighter has eight extremities (6 arms + 2 legs), spiders suck ass.

>Have your characters ever had nicknames or epithets?
Yes. But my GMs are pretty bad at giving them, so I only have a couple of them.

My Celestial Chorister was known as the Bibliophage, since he accidentally destroyed the platonic idea of a grimoire and got himself expelled from the Hermetic Order. He actually uploaded the content to the Collective Unconscious, but the hermetics didn't care for the difference.

My diviner got called the Owl Man, because he has strong feelings about giving away his name and also due to his owl headdress, meant to hide the fact that he's a tiefling.

Belfenir the Ugly. Named so because of the wicked scar that made his otherwise handsome face striking with a rather angry resting face. He earned the scar during the events that led to his exile. He being a vain elf took the title and owned it, but would be sure anyone else who called him so would pay for it.

Fire-Hair Tamos, a fierce warlord who demanded his wizard companion cast Continual Light on his scalp.

He has difficulty sleeping, unfortunately.

>>44259017
My players sometimes give each other nicknames based on their accomplishments in the game.
So far we have:
-Balthazar the Deciever, who managed to outwit an ancient red dragon, tricking him into destroying another faction the party had trouble with. Though the dragon eventually found out and is now the toughest threat the party faces.
-Alton the Undying, who is the only character that was a party member from the very beginning. All his compatriots have either died or deserted the party.
-Karketox the Shadowslayer, who one-hit double rage-critted the shadowdemon that I hoped would become a recurring threat. Currently deceased.
-Riffy the Master Chef, who is on a quest to become the best baker/cook in the world.

>>44266145
Oh, and Traword the Terrorist, who killed both himself and the party cleric by fireballing a store during a fight with doppelgangers. Deceased.

Me personally?
>Alphonse Brighteyes
My character was the youngest (only human) and also the most Noblebright, so everyone joked that he hadn't lost the shine in his eyes yet.

When I DM I do my best to give players titles based on particularly awesome feats of roleplaying or planning
>God-hammer
And later
>Hammerfist
Halfling Brawler fighter who took on a bar of drunken Dragonborn (all in good fun). He later lost his arm slaying a dragon (well he was actually sliding down a mountain on the dead dragon's skull but still, got it replaced with a war forged arm.
>Little Dragon or Great Dragon
Kobold Rogue who bedded both of the Dragonborn chieftains daughters
>Gra Thok
Literally "Dick Head" in Orcish, Elf ranger got it for waving his superiority over EVERYONE in the village. He still thought it was a fancy title so he called himself it all the time.
>Bearcat
Razor claw Shifter Monk who single handedly brought down a direbear in the woods, admittedly pretty badass

I had a character called The Praetor. He made it up and claimed it was a higher rank than anyone in the city we were defending, referred to himself by it until the NPCs were convinced it was legit.

Our Paladin was separated from the rest of the party in the midst of an undead coup. Refusing to withdraw to the relative safety of the lower-city ports until he had gathered as many civilians as possible, he ended up cut off and surrounded by the Black Knight, a Vampiric Knight that I suspect had been intended to be taken on by the whole party.

With the help of no more than two plucky city guards who he had enlisted with his high charisma (one of whom was instantly bisected by said Knight) the Paladin lay an almighty and righteous beatdown on the Black Knight.

Since this happened in front of a terrified crowd of several hundred civilians and remnants of the city watch, it was little surprise his deeds spread like wildfire even before the Long Night of Olinsport was over.

I ran an OD&D campaign using Geoffrey McKinney's Carcosa setting with a random name generator we found for it in online.

The party ended up with an NPC henchman named "Eternal Ravishment Upon the Throne". Sadly, he was killed by a rocket fired by a barbarian slaver. His gibbed remains were buried in a river.
