Hi, Cyrania.

Thora Hazel having a lightning-based light semblance sounds great. A little crackling as she invokes it makes it more obviously lightning, Thor not being a sun-god, you know. And her color is ready built into her name.

For the Captain, how about a healing semblance based on Glynda's psychokinetics? He doesn't have to touch the patient; all he has to do is visualize the injury and do whatever needs doing. You know, pulling a broken bone back into alignment, reknitting arteries or veins which were torn apart in battle. He just closes his eyes and makes motions with his hands to mimic the internal work he's doing and his psychokinetic ability (plus the seeing the injury which might be a brand new semblance) takes care of the rest; the patient sits up happy and well. Someone who is bleeding internally might take some doing; the Captain needs to get the blood out of the way and decide whether to put it back in the system. I don't think we can use him for antibiotics, unless you do.

Naming colors. I'm happy with Roberto Flambeau, but Hastings as a 'bright battle'? Is that how you see him? He's not gray, so he does need perking up. If there's nothing else available, I'd go along with it.

Do Sacker or Osmond have a color allusion? Where are you finding this information, Cyrania? I can google a name I know, but not a last name, or find my way to Blaine either. I feel so inadequate. (Ignore me. I'm still in mourning for my 40K paper and I won't restart till I get a new flash drive, only I've been sitting around waiting for phone calls that don't come. Playing here is so much more fun.)

And we have to be aware of the team color aspect too. More vowels give us more room to play with. The O in Osmond is all we have now.

TH OS RF NFW(or not). We can get FROsT if we go with Osmond and FRoST if we go with Sacker.

Am I missing something about the naming? All the teams I'm remembering use the first letter of the name of the team member. Is it a rule?

If it is, we get:    T O R N   Do you think they'd take hORNeT? Is it colorful enough?

I really want to know your source for all the great names, almost extinct, some of them. Only don't answer if you don't want the whole fandom to know how to find them!
