Revision as of 13:42, 15 December 2009

Ability Naming Conventions
The following sources are used for determining evolved human ability names, in order:
1. Canon Sources Episodes
2. Near-canon Sources Webisodes,
Graphic Novels,
iStories,
Heroes Evolutions
3. Secondary Sources Episode commentary,
Interviews,
Heroes: Survival
4. Common names for abilities Names from other works
5. Descriptions of abilities Descriptions
6. Possessor's name
If no non-speculative
description is possible

Note: The highlighted row represents the level of the source used to determine the name for Inflammation.

Heating (Mrs. Comey, Toby): The ability to produce heat from the body. -- Mike the Man-child!

  • Not really, nothing indicates that he causes pain with heat, a burning pain is an intense pain, just that. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 11:13, 19 October 2009 (EDT)
    • Pain production?
      • Pain Induction sounds best to me
        • Excruciation? It means the same things... But maybe you just want the actual word. Nevermind.

  • I must say, excruciation has a nice ring to it, and it is (so far as we know) entirely accurate. --Ricard Desi (t,c) 17:44, 10 December 2009 (EST)
    • Yeah, I agree. I would approve of this name as well. --OutbackZack 17:06, 11 December 2009 (EST)
      • I don't oppose this name, but I am concerned about it not including the "burning" aspect of the ability. The examples section says that it also causes skin eruptions. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 17:34, 11 December 2009 (EST)
Then why not just call the ability Burning? I know it sounds too simple, but it's right to point and describes everything. If there's a "fancy" word for it then that's cool too. --OutbackZack 21:56, 11 December 2009 (EST)
            • Skin inflammation? AltesUTC CH 06:35, 12 December 2009 (EST)
              • I don't follow the iStory, so does the pain caused by Toby's ability immediately vanish once he stops using his power or does it cause some lasting damage?--Referos 10:04, 12 December 2009 (EST)
                • Rachel just got too close to Toby, who may not have spotted her at all, so I don't know. AltesUTC CH 10:11, 12 December 2009 (EST)
                  • That would just be something we would note in the limits section. I actually do like Skim inflammation, because it does cover every aspect of the ability. --OutbackZack 15:45, 12 December 2009 (EST)
  • Bump. It seems like we have 3 possible names. I'm mostly for Skin inflammation. Anyone agree or disagree?--OutbackZack 09:04, 15 December 2009 (EST)
    • Skin inflammation works for me.--Ratclaws 09:11, 15 December 2009 (EST)
      • Let's try a consensus check then.--Referos 12:32, 15 December 2009 (EST)

Consensus check: Toby's ability, 15/12/2009

Remember to put your signature on items that you oppose, not the ones that you find the best, along with a justification for your opposition. If your are "okay" with a name, leave it alone, do not oppose it because another name is better. If all suggested names receive a valid opposition, this page will remain as "Toby's ability". For more information, see the help page on consensus checks.--Referos 12:32, 15 December 2009 (EST)

  1. Just because the pain feels like a burn doesn't mean that Toby actually burns skin with heating--Referos 12:32, 15 December 2009 (EST)

Notes/Comments
