How do you come up with cool weapon names? I made a bot with an android GF, she's a secret prototype war machine made with advanced tech unavailable to the public, designed as a protector and infiltrator/covert operator, or an all-out shock trooper/annihilator, codenamed athena
She has a sword, retractable into her thigh
What other types of weaponry can I give her? Something lightweight
Some kinda AR, maybe
anyway, teach me and give me some cool, chuuni-ish names for futuristic ARs and idk, pistols? A tiny rocket launcher?
greek theme, could be themed around athena
would giving her a retractable spear and shield be TOO on the nose? She was designed by a group of scientists named parthenon already
I'm thinking she could use an aegis at the very least
what about the melee weapon? what else did Athena wield? i know she used some swords, hence the sword
maybe some historical, distinctively greek weapons? Are there any? You know, scythians and central asians have acinaces, rome has gladius, japs have katanas, what do greeks have?
Also, any other suggestions? And overall, what do you think? It's not too cliche, right? I like it
>>
and she wasn't even designed by greeks, or in greece, so yeah
but a female war android should be fucking named athena, 100%
>>
I thought maybe something related to zeus, you know, since she came out of his head

How do YOU do it, opplekins?
Surely you have SOME ideas of your own.
Make sure to be detailed and specific!
>>
>>94388249
huh
is this AI-generated?
I'm just kinda confused, what's the purpose and meaning of this post?
>>
>>94388258
You tell me.

>>94388083
Nah give her a shield, but it's also a buzzsaw. You know Robot Wars? The meta was always spiny disks, even for bigger robots. It's now basically required for smol ones. Torque force can cut stuff to shreds.
And just call it Aegis. Sounds cool enough.

>>94388258
You know those old school RPGs where there are a bunch of NPCs that fill towns but just say the same line over and over? Same thing. They add traffic.
>>
i just steal mythical and/or legendary weapon names
joyeuse, durandal, ascalon, etc.
>>
>>94388083
Name her d3v0tchk4
It’s Russian for girl.
>>
>>94388258
you are being called lazy, dumb, and uncreative. Hope that helps.
>>
>>94389151
yeah, you know, that seems good
some kinda captain america shit, a small buckler that can expand like an aperture, maybe
a tube that can expand into a spear

Since one of the functions of the pallas athena was a lighthouse, why not a death lazer beam cannon?
>>
>>94388083
I don't.
NEXT!

>>94393399
good idea
>>
>>94388083
I look up words from other languages.

>>94388083
I don't

>aegis
A big shield with a series of embedded LEDs capable of creating sudden bursts of strobing light. To humans, it's an annoying, blinding effect that even messes with goggles meant to deal with flashbangs and the like since it keeps going back and forth. To bots, the strobe pattern is an actual basilisk attack that can paralyze their systems.

>spear
Name it the Doru, after the early, shorter style spear Athena tends to carry from the era of Athen's dominance. Give it a vibroblade and possibly a Sarissa mode where it can extend to triple length.

>unique Greek weapon
There was Greek Fire, and as goddess of craft and wisdom Athena probably held some influence in making it but as a goddess of city defense and civility she may not have been big on burning people alive. Another option is to reach to the Roman era and their Pilums, big darts/small spears made to deform on impact and stick, weighing down enemy shields. Instead of relying on weight, she could have a set of them that upon impact will fire a spike and cable from the back end, anchoring itself and the target to a nearby wall or floor as it winches in the cable.

>owl
Give her a tiny, silent drone with top of the line cameras and comms systems. Named after a goddess of war and wisdom, your gynoid should have access to realtime tactical info and stay ahead if her enemies on the battlefield.

Aegis is like calling every top-tier sword excalibur or masamune.
