Need a Name for a Faction!
I allowed one of my players to play a warforged despite them not being a part of my setting if he'd figure out the details.
He decided he was the prototype for a sort of super-soldier. His story is that many different specialists put aside their differences and tried to create something together, and created Robocop. He eventually learned to override his 'programming' and ran away. He didn't want this faction to be a part of the story, and that he'd traveled very far to make sure they'd never find him.
Problem is, I need a name. What would this sort of group call themselves, a collection of specialists from all sorts of profession with the goal of creating Robocops?

The Most Prestigious and Secretive Order of Arcanists, Smiths, and Martial Adepts for the Promotion of Excellence in Innovation.
Or “The Order”, for short.

Re: Need a Name for a Faction!
The Iron Fist?
Or the Iron Smiths if wanting something slightly more subtle. It's simultaneously threatening and open to gags where confused listeners mistake the group for mundane what-the-heck-else-would-you-be-smithing smiths.
Rulers' Refinery, if the countries themselves backed the research.Last edited by dragoeniex; 2019-08-25 at 11:31 PM.

Alternatively, the identity would be placed around the project rather than the team involved. Project manhunter, the enforcement project, etc

Re: Need a Name for a Faction!
Give them a sigil that is unpronounceable (and is branded onto the warforged's butt). No need to have a Common name.

Re: Need a Name for a Faction!
Nale is no more, he has ceased to be, his hit points have dropped to negative ten, all he was is now dust in the wind, he is not Daniel Jackson dead, he is not Kenny dead, he is final dead, he will not pass through death's revolving door, his fate will not be undone because the executives renewed his show for another season. His time had run out, his string of fate has been cut, the blood on the knife has been wiped. He is an Ex-Nale! Now can we please resume watching the Order save the world.

Every one of the following can also double as a band name for the bards playing at the tavern:
The Ferrous Legion
The Clockwork Conquest
The Silicon Shamans
The Transresistors
Those What Play At God
The Arcadian Institute for Advanced Life Studies

Re: Need a Name for a Faction!
I don't have any specific suggestions, because my brain is tired, but you could consider adapting or just plain using the name of a real-life masonic or similar order/society.
Add in words like Brethren, Fraternal Order, or somesuch, and you're good to go!~ Composer99
