🚨 OC help required honestly

I have a metahuman OC whose powers are reactive adaptation and I am having the worst fucking time trying to give her a hero name. If anyone wants to be kind and drop a suggestion I'd be more than happy to see it. I only have one but I'm not sure about it tbh

I have been stuck on this goddamn thing for days so please take pity on me and help

It’s incredible to think that Earth Day has been sounding the clarion call to environmental action for over half a century. The charity is now active in almost 200 countries, and every 22 April it mobilises in the region of a billion individuals in the fight for the future of our planet. 

Yet here we are. Fifty-three years after the first Earth Day, the world stands at a climate crossroads. Time is running out. Climate change is communicating itself through fire, flood and drought. Going on the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, only drastic emissions cuts will rein in warming to safe levels.

But despite it all, hope springs eternal. Businesses are embracing sustainability in pursuit not only of slashing emissions but also bolstering growth; a new generation of visionary thinkers and doers are dreaming up the solutions to get us out of this pickle, and climate anxiety is proving a potent force in driving change.

"Aren't you afraid-"Nova gulped. Of consequences. There was a look of terror on her face when she realized maybe the man wasn't the one giving the bad energy it was the blonde. But she didn't dare say that out of fear. Maybe it was the need for revenge or momentarily retribution. But was it excessive? Nova wasn't sure. As she saw the man scurry away like a dog with a tail between his legs, nova just remained still and silent. She briefly went back to the shed and held onto a tailsman, gripping it for dear life with fear and anxiety. As if the energy she was feeling was contagious. "What type of spell did you do?" Nova asked slowly.

"Bad energy doesn't phase me," Everleigh retorts, gaze pulling from the other femme and back to the man. "Besides I really hate when men touch what isn't theirs without permission." Her gaze returns to Nova as she allows a faint laugh to ease from her lips. "Don't worry, sweetheart," the witch counters. "I don't plan on killing him." A single hand rises in the male's direction before she mutters beneath her breath, "Phasmatos Pyrox Morsinus Illum." The man fell to his knees, screaming as the pain seared through him perhaps a moment longer than she should have before she finally released him from the hold her magic had on him. "I'd get going before I change my mind," the blonde instructs the male.

The model steam engines of the Western Diorama from Night at the Museum*

*only across the four movies. I don’t know whether other NATM media (ex. the novels) mention them.

NATM folks might recognize my sideblog where I’ve been focusing on that series overall -> @here-comes-moonshine. This is my main blog for talking trains. I’m not a particularly knowledgeable railfan (and any of y’all are free to correct me on anything said here). However, I’ve seen little discussion about the locomotives in this series (even the wikis are lacking in that regard), so I want to put a spotlight on them!

I’m not 100% sure what exactly the diorama is trying to represent, but I’d guess that it takes place in the latter half of the 19th century, somewhere in the West/Southwest.

The Western Diorama has had a consistent layout of two tracks: one on the upper level that appears to stretch all the way across the diorama (with a bridge portion); and one on the floor level that runs more than halfway across the diorama and appears to be under construction. Both of them have tunnels on the sides with the walls. For the original live action movies, r/modeltrains’ consensus (w/input from the apparent builder of the scene!) is that the lower track is G scale/G gauge (1.75 in, or 45 mm).

Now for the engines:

Union Pacific No. 119

Appears in Night at the Museum and Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian

UP 119 is the model engine that is seen in the opening sequences that showcase the Western diorama and in subsequent scenes taking place in that setting. From the viewer’s POV, she is the one on the upper track close to the tunnel on the right; and it appears to stay in that spot facing left in all of its appearances.

——

Union Pacific “American” 4-4-0

Built: 1868, by Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works

Gauge: Standard gauge (4ft 8.5 in, or 1435mm)

Power type/fuel: Steam/Coal

Relevant information for the time period: It is famously known for being one of the two engines that met up at the famous Golden Spike ceremony. Other than that, it worked in the Utah Division of the Union Pacific Railroad as a freight engine (WY and UT) until it was scrapped in 1903.

No. 4, The ‘Eureka’

Appears in Night at the Museum

The Eureka is the model engine that was used to ram Larry’s head. From the viewer’s POV, she is the one on the lower track facing right; and she isn’t visible until she comes out of the tunnel on the left, runs forward, and then derails after failing to kill him. According to one image of the diorama, it might also have its own coach?

Facts about the real Eureka:

Baldwin Class 8/18 C 4-4-0

Built: 1875, by Baldwin Locomotive Works

Gauge: Narrow gauge (3ft, or 914mm)

Power type/fuel: Steam/Wood

Relevant information for the time period: It first worked on the Eureka and Palisade Railway (NV), hauling both goods and passenger trains to and from the cities Eureka (for the silver mines) and Palisade (for connecting to the Central Pacific Railroad) until 1901.

The New South Wales C32 class locomotive?

Appears in Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again

I’ve asked around, and it’s definitely not an American locomotive. If @/angryskarloey’s guess at the engine’s class is right (thank you a TREMENDOUS amount, Ajax), this is actually a locomotive that was put into operation in Australia, and decades after the former two engines would’ve been built.

This engine is the only one that is visibly seen in the diorama, seemingly taking the place of UP 119 on the upper track. It also remains still and faces left throughout its appearances.

——

(Assumed) New South Wales C32 Class 4-6-0

Built: Beyer, Peacock & Company, Baldwin Locomotive Works, Clyde Engineering, Eveleigh Railway Workshops (1892-1911)

Gauge: Standard gauge (4ft 8.5 in, or 1435mm)

Power type/fuel: Steam/Coal

Relevant information for the time period: This locomotive was notably versatile, being used in goods, mail, and passenger/express services.

Fun facts:

Some American locomotives around the transcontinental railroad period were named after Greek or Roman deities. One of Eureka’s surviving sister engines was named Jupiter. Jupiter was also the name of the other locomotive that met up with UP 119 at the Golden Spike ceremony. (Pssst, Roman diorama!)

Both UP 119 and Jupiter were not the original engines chosen to pull the special trains for the Golden Spike ceremony! Both of their stories of how they ended up being the ones to replace their respective engines to go to the ceremony are rather fortunate.

The Eureka was bought by Warner Bros in 1939 and featured in many western movies. (The irony of its model engine counterpart in NATM is not lost on me.)

Eureka is one of three remaining engines of her class! Ironically, she herself is privately owned, while both of her sister engines are on display in museums— Sonoma in the California State Railroad Museum and Jupiter in the National Museum of American History. (That’s a Smithsonian Institution!)

Not-so-fun facts:

The original UP 119 shares a similar fate with Jupiter of being scrapped for $1000 despite their historical significance. Replicas of both engines still exist today at the Golden Spike history museum.

In 1985, the Eureka was damaged by a fire in Old Vegas, where it was on display. It was, fortunately, restored a year later after being bought by Dan Markoff, who currently owns it.

Eveleigh Railway Workshops were built in the late 19th and early 20thC to maintain Sydney and NSW trains.

I haven’t been to visit in years, and I was surprised by the developments.

The integrity of the place has been maintained, but added to it is 21stC touches, esp food outlets.

Open Starter - @exitiumstarters

She had been radio silent in the last year, her daughter being the only person she ever reached out to whether it was wanted or not aside from Aliyah and now that she was back in New Orleans she had to admit there was a small out of nerves built up within her frame. She'd never show it, always maintaining that level of control and confidence she always had but also the tranquil meditation she had picked up on her travels making it easier to stay more in control of herself. Still stepping into the Mikaelson compound brought with it a slight thrill, knowing she was more or less wanted in New Orleans, hood covering her head, mask concealing her identity and a grin slowly crept across her features as she approached the bar, digits rising to gently pull the hood back. "Whiskey neat please," Eveleigh requests from the bartender before turning the person beside her. "The Mikaelson's sure do always impress with their outrageous parties, don't they?"
