Hey, everyone. Listen. I had an idea. See, I've heard those... heroes running around have special names for themselves. Different names. Like... super man or something.

So. I've decided.

[Whoa now, he sounds proud of himself. That's probably not a good sign, where Iron Bull is concerned. And this is something everyone can thank the one and only Sky High for, since the nice man has been filling Bull's head with talk of Hero Names.]

Get this. Instead of the Iron Bull, how about we go with... The Iron Dragon?

[There's a pause. Like he's waiting for a reaction.]

Yeah? Huh? Intimidating enough? I figured it would be. It has a better, scarier ring to it.

[fourscores]

I don't know, Bull really does suit you.

[rideme]

That's still my name. I'm just talking one of those Hero Names.

[Video.]

[skyhiiigh]

[Normally by this time he's already settled comfortably in his civilian clothes, so instead of putting on his full hero regalia he opts just for putting on just the helmet instead. The Heroes did this on several occasions, given it still maintained one's anonymity.

Evidently he's not as robotic as everyone presumes, given the fleshy parts. Still, pertaining to this, he can't say he's displeased to be the instigator. Nothing was wrong with having a Hero name!]

The Iron Dragon! That is an interesting choice. I think it has a nice ring to it. Does it pertain to your abilities, somehow?

[Video.]

[rideme]

[Well, hello hero man. There is definitely an appraising glance or four before Bull responds.]

It pertains to how fucking amazing dragons are.

[Video]

[crapbearer]

Are you gonna work that theme into a costume?

[ He looks thoughtful, scrutinizing what he remembers of Bull's appearance and trying to figure out what would look good. Not that Max has any taste in these matters, Mr. Sideways cap. ]

Maybe like. A big flowy trenchcoat. In green. Green's a dragony color.

[Video]

[rideme]

A costume?

[He looks almost insulted.]

No way am I wearing a costume.

[dendarii]

I thought "Bull" was quite intimidating by itself.

video

[rideme]

It is. But dragon is better.

[flynnnotjunior]

I... figured Iron Bull was your super hero name. And your real name was the equivalent of 'John' or something.

[rideme]

Yeah, that's... not really how Qunari work.

video.

[23wishes]

[SHE'S SQUINTING...]

Why? You don't look anything like a dragon.

video.

[rideme]

That's not the point!

The point is, it sounds cool.

[chancetoatone]

The Iron Bull is already intimidating.

[rideme]

Yeah, I know. That's why I picked it.

This is better.

[bestever]

What, is this gonna be like, some Snoop Lion shit?

voice;

[rideme]

What the fuck is a "snoop lion"?

voice;

[textualhealing]

Dragonbull Z.

voice;

[rideme]

Eh, close. But this one is more dramatic.

[damselunimpressed]

Well, I support this!

[ Even if everyone else has their Debbie Downer doubts. YOU DO YOU BULL MAN. ]

It seems to give you a lot of vigor and energy! [ At least that's what Maria sees. Your hero name should make you feel the power!! ] You can channel that. Do you have a battle cry yet?

[rideme]

Hah! That's the spirit!

[He grins at her, pumping a fist at the camera.]

Not yet. I usually just... you know. Yell and swear a lot. Seems to work.

voice;

[whathawksdo]

Dragon, huh? Well, I like it!

[ Hawke greatly approves. ]

voice;

[rideme]

I knew I liked you for a reason, Hawke!

[Not just the great ass and wit.]

video;

[amadaman]

... So tell me.

Do you want to fight dragons, or do you want to be a dragon? Sometimes I can't tell the relationship.

video;

[rideme]

...

Is there a "both" option?

Because it's kind of both.

[voice]

[rocksforbrains]

Iron Dragon, huh? Well, as a professional codename rater [a blatant lie] I give it an 8 outta 10. It's a lot better than some of the crap I've heard lately, I'll say that.

[voice]

[rideme]

Are you kidding me? Have you seen a dragon?

voice;

[matadorable]

It's a fantastic name. They will sing songs about you for sure!

voice;

[rideme]

That's the enthusiasm I'm looking for! They damn well better!

Voice

[heart_wrenching]

[ It's sort of on a lark that she's checking the network at all. But there's something about his enthusiasm that catches her attention right away. ]

"Iron Bull" . . . "Iron Dragon" . . . "Iron Bull."


You know, somehow, the Bull one sounds more intimidating.

Re: Voice

[fullmetalbrat]

[Another voice cuts in, a little quieter like he's further back from the microphone.]

In what world is a bull more intimidating than a DRAGON?

Voice

[fullmetalbrat]

Wait... Can we just pick our own names like that?

Voice

[rideme]

Probably.

No one's told me I can't, yet.

[akito]

Iron Bulls are way more fucking intimidating. Then again most medieval torture devices are intimidating as fuck.

Dragons are just cool.

[rideme]

... Have you ever faced a dragon in combat?

voice;

[infomodder]

[why are dragonkin a multiversal constant why this]

How's it intimidating? Dragons mostly exist to be slain.

voice;

[rideme]

Have you ever fought a dragon?

[Voice]

[herstarlight]

Do you consider yourself heroic? Dragons are not considered good in my world.

[Voice]

[rideme]

They're awesome.

And that depends on your version of 'heroic', I suppose.

[Voice]

[rassera]

So does this mean you're going to kick your own ass?

[Voice]

[rideme]

Maybe.

If someone paid enough.
