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.

[fourscores]

But dragons are so... dull. Certainly there's something better if you really want a hero name.

[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]

[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.

[rideme]

...



You want to run that by me again.

[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]

[rideme]

A costume?

[He looks almost insulted.]

No way am I wearing a costume.

[Video.]

[skyhiiigh]

[At least he's cozy in his own home, which was unremarkable at best still given he just moved in not too long ago. Aside from that Fanport bag in the back maybe, proving he'd been at the convention.]

Hmm. I can understand you appreciate the coolness of dragons. There's nothing wrong with that. Usually Heroes go with some kind of theme for their costumes and catchphase, so no doubt you could come up with some interesting ideas...

[Of course they also usually had something to do with their powers as well, but not always. It's a little uncommon but certainly not unheard of. Mr. Legend's powers of course had nothing to do with his name, it just sounded rather cool.]

[Video.]

[rideme]

Sorry to disappoint, but... there's really not a costume in this place that'd ever fit me.

[As he gestures to all of him. All of him...]

Far as "catchphrases", pretty sure my current ones are... un-bull-able enough already.

[Video.]

[skyhiiigh]

...You have a point. What about armor of some kind? I wonder if someone could stylize some dragon hide for you, in that way.

[Or does he even need such a thing. A big question! But one must be prepared. Even though Keith's costume was not entirely armor in itself, it was made of nanite technology that deflected heat and fire, and he still had gauntlets and knee pads at least.]

I see. Then, I say to you, my fellow Hero [with a salute and another salute] congratulations and congratulations again on your new name!

[Video.]

[rideme]

If you know where a guy can get a decent suit of heavy armor, I'll bite. Otherwise, the harness works fine.

[He even thumps it once or twice with his fist to prove it.]

Hah! Wow. Aren't you sweet.

[Video.]

[skyhiiigh]

You know, I don't...But I could perhaps make an inquiry for you. That does look rather sturdy. I wonder if someone would make a custom one.

[He doesn't mind helping a fellow Hero in whatever capacity they needed. This sort of thing was important, especially since they needed to be able to serve and protect!]

It is important for your peers to acknowledge your alias, I feel! After all, if you are ever in the situation where you need a code name to protect yourself, they will now know what to call you.

[dendarii]

I thought "Bull" was quite intimidating by itself.

[flynnnotjunior]

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

video.

[23wishes]

[SHE'S SQUINTING...]

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

[chancetoatone]

The Iron Bull is already intimidating.

[fourscores]

...There are better choices out there?

[bestever]

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

voice;

[textualhealing]

Dragonbull Z.

[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?

voice;

[whathawksdo]

Dragon, huh? Well, I like it!

[ Hawke greatly approves. ]

[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.

[rideme]

Oh, hell no.

Don't come in here, to my house and say that shit about dragons.

[Video.]

[rideme]

[There's a chuckle, and Bull shakes his head.]

Nah, don't worry about it. I kind of like the bare chest look. Except when mages start slinging fire around.

That why you got yours? Protection and crap?
