During a rebellion fought on his home planet, he was on the side fighting the rebellion. He wiped out hundreds of rebels just on his own, and I need some sort of nickname for him. Kind of like "Jack the Ripper", but obviously not a name that's already been used for something else. If you have any fun ideas feel free to share!

PS
His "species" is kind of like robots. He used an electric spear during the rebellion, which fried the inner workings of the victim, resulting in their "death". I hope that provides some context.

The first thing I thought was "The Deep Fryer."
But a serious one, do one maybe one like "(Character name here) the Fryer."

Madi

That's a good idea. "The deep fryer" makes him sound like he's a legendary worker at McDonald's lol

(Epic voice) THE DEEP FRYERRRRRR FROM THE LANDS OF MCDONAAAAALLLLLDDDDDSSSSS

@sheyna

mmmmm im loving these but all i can picture is an extra aggressive cattle prod – so maybe shepherd? or the Keeper? Muster (a term used in australia for people responsible for the roundup, sometimes called a drover)??? roundup is also a brand of poison here in australia, used for plants so that could be a thing???

idk i usually just name my characters aliases after birds who symbolise something related to that character in small cultures around the world. or i put words like "thunder" or "sparks" into google translate and switch through the languages until i find a word that i like.

maybe try looking for some reclusive deity that symbolises your character and make your own moniker based on that deitys name? orn just outright steal the name lol
