Following the other thread which asked about our usernames.
How did you come up with your RHG's names?
You can give the reason for all of your RHG's (this would be a pain for Pin. haha) Or only give the reason for the names of some of your RHG's. If you have one and only one RHG from the very beginning then, of course just give a reason for why you chose that name for him/her.
All five of my RHG's are listed respectively:
Vanguard
Well, his weapons (no powers really), were dual-shield-booster-guns, guns in the tip, boosters on the elbow part all under two shields. He can also combine both shields to create a larger shield and do that shield boomerang thing. The name came from his weapons
Sheath
He had four sheaths and two extremely fast swords, the reason for the sheaths were supposed to be because of a sword style I failed to create, which involved unsheathing your sword and directly placing it back in as quickly as possible. The name, again, came from his equipment
Impact
He had the power to control momentum, to basically he could punch really strong without anticipation, and he did not need easing. He got his name because momentum has a bit of something to do with impact.
Alius
He had an enchanted sword that could fire energy waves, he could also unleash his 'Altenative Soul' Which he does by stabbing himself directly through the heart with his sword, and only with his sword. The name has quite an interesting story, I got the main inspiration for the concept from Persona 3, where they had Evokers which looked like guns, to summon their spirits or 'Persona'. The word alius also has a similar meaning to persona, which basically means an alter-ego.
Deus
He basically has the combination of Alius' and Impact's powers, and a bit more. I came up with the name because Deus means god in Latin and I designed him to be the ultimate Demon Slayer.
Now you guys have your say

Well, Xero was based off Legend of zelda, and tales of phantasia.
His wolf ability came from my love of the animal, his appearance is somewhat inspired by Danny phantom's character design.
Kino is different.
His name is deprived from the japanese singular "ki", meaning key.
His concept came from dood.of.fire's RHG story of being trapped in his own game (This RHG was up since feb of 2012, fuck off SAO fags.)
So I came up with a cyber space concept similar to that, where kino serves as the key access to all things on the internet. Even animation.

Hmm let me see, his name is Afro cause he has an afro.
The idea of the afro came to me when I animated this and people told me the head was way too big, as a joke, I said it was cause he had an afro, and I thought it would be a cool idea, so I added it, making this.
Then I made it my RHG, and Boom, Afro was born.
Oh, it was not based on Afro Samurai, I actually watched that after creating my RHG, only cause because I was told I should.

August is really a huge mash of ideas that I'd had for a long time that spontaneously came together. His name is the most masculine sounding month off the top of my head, with March being the runner up. The later sounded a bit too serious for his personality though.
I think John (Doe)'s name's fairly self explanatory for several of us, but for those who doesn't know, it's a placeholder name, if the real one isn't known. So, if you watch crime shows like I do, it's what the call a corpse before they find out who it is.
As far as his weapon (a bracer with a grappling hook and smoke bombs), I wanted to steer clear of swords and come up with something I deemed fairly original. Also, I wanted to take a more agile route.

Mine just came to me.
Seriously, Sharp started like myself that could throw spikes and summon them from the ground, and then by time, he evolved into a more complicated character.

Cronos I love you
Cassandra wa the name of one of my friends from when I was much younger, I always thought her name souded cool so I figured "hey, I should steal it and use it for myself."
Her concept is a combination of various aspects of my old RHGs combined with a few newer things that I had been wanting to try.
Ima change her soon tho.

Picked out Shadow from the name Shadowkirby14 (my youtube name) back to the day a year before I made my RHG. He was once "No-Name", but it seems unoriginal and confusing, cuz back then I made him a son which I haven't named that died during the apocalypse, and I was like "what kind of father has the name "No-Name" and has a son that I haven't named yet?" It was really confusing once I look over it, so I scrapped his backstory, and was inspired and influenced by the game and book, Dante's Inferno, few months later. That's where Dante Alighieri came from and stuck with it since.
