I was referring to him as Yellow in my head, because the colour yellow correlates to daylight, hope, and fresh growth- concepts that represent the character very well. Moreover, the colour green can be created by combining blue and yellow, which makes sense given the context of this story. Also, OSP naming conventions do seem to incorporate colours, and they don’t have a Yellow yet, so there.
Nah jk he’s Yellow because the colour of his floofy.
For some reason I harken back to an old (not that there is any other kind) “Family Ties’ episode when Alex was trying to take a bus incognito. He hemmed and hawed when asked his name, and the ticket guy said something along the lines of ‘Listen kid, as questions go this is considered one on the easy ones.’
TL;DR: Tim tries to decide between the various names he could call himself. Prince Charming, Vash-n-Half, Tim…the possibilities are endless!
Tats doesn’t wait, instead trying to think of a better nickname, because “Casey Nice Tats” is probably gonna stop making sense by the end of the chapter.
Also, SO psyched so see that you’ve started your own webcomic! Been a fan of your content on OSP for years now, but it looks like I’m late to the party here? Totally looking forward to having my brain devour what you’ve got in store for Aurora!

[disclaimer: my only knowledge of the Zelda storyline comes from playing innumerable hours of BOTW and/or watching speedrunning videos of it, so any lore not from there I dont know].
I see it. I absolutely see it. But we have to talk about the Link played by the speedrunners, because that works so much better.
[SPOILERS! ish]
Man with sword is revived by healer, wakes up and immediate instinct is to speedrun the story to get the boss fight to rescue a fellow deity, who is calling to them and giving them flashbacks all the while. Is convinced by various NPCs and other MCs to *not* do that until he’s powered up more, but he came close to just clipping through a rock to bypass the whole storyline (XD). Can fight just as easily without the sword, and begins with zero common sense.
Probably, what other franchises say, “take a name, shuffle the letters around, stick an ‘X’ in there somewhere,” the answer is none, sense Tetsuya Nomura is the only person stupid enough to do that without directly referencing Tetsuya Momura.
he shall be named vash 2.0 (the crappy version)
He should be called Bill.
Because, to quote Terry Pratchett’s Eric, bill is “what you get when there’s nothing left and everything’s been used up.”
Although I am still rooting for Stampede or Nick of The Wolfwood.
Vashn’t
+1 to that
hmm.
Thunkathor
Hsav? The body formerly known as Vash? Anchor? Link? Shaxv? Greg?
Blondie McGoldenhair
I really like the way the story is starting. It feels different yet organic
His name is Floofy Boi
Vash’s body has an autopilot? Error, Soal missing, activate auto-mode and initiat search and recovery procedures?
his name shall be Steven Vash Univer–oh wait

She’s taking care of him. She ought to name him.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
“I have no name, I am but two days old…Just kidding, you can call me V”
Names are hard. What are names?

@Sydney is shaxv a kingdom hearts reference?

His new name should be Not-Vash-But-Also-Vash-At-The-Same-Time-Maybe
Nvbavatstm? Pronunciations???
“nuv-bav-ats-tum”
ah yes, that moment every trans person comes across one way or another
Is it just me or does he really look like link (esp. in that last frame)?
Fluffy haired warrior man sitting cross-legged and cross-armed next to their sword… is there anything more anime-protagonist than this? Haha
Should he get a name? Probably, so he sits
Deciding: Vashn’t or Tim, it’s hard to make it fit
vush ? voosh ? vesh ? vish ?
He will forever be Half n Vash to me, may WHAT’s TL;DR’s rest in peace
