    Hey guys.
    I'm trying to write my own manga that is based on rock music and has martial arts and lots fighting and cool stuff like that. And the thing is while I do have an idea of what I want and what fans want I'm still lost on some points, so I'm basically asking for some ideas and suggestions that I might/could use or help like names or plot ideas or character ideas

    What I have so far:

    title: Blood, Steel, and Tears or BST

    first five main characters:
    three guys based on nu metal, metal, and punk with two girls based on grunge and chick rock.

    will elaborate more later

    P.S.
    Don't steal my stuff or else (or else what?) exactly...

    NOTE: I got no names for any of the characters so name suggestions would really really be cool

    1. XeRo Yukishiro (formerly Roe Yukishiro) based on nu metal (Linkin Park, KoRn, SlipKnoT, Union Underground, Adema, P.O.D., Limp Bizkit)
    Background: As a child he was abandoned by his mother and was a victim of abuse from his father. He was usually a loner at school who kept to himself. After junior high he ran away from home believing that he had nothing to gain by staying there. It was later that he met Jude (for lack of a better name). They became close friends until Jude betrayed and humiliated him for his own personal gain. After recovering he swore payback on Jude. As time passes on he actually becomes close to the other main characters.

    Skills: He wields a katana. He also practices Northern Shaolin Style Kung Fu. He has a special ability called Kiai <still working on this name) in which his eyes become slitted (like a cat or a snake) and he enters a berserk state where he becomes extremely powerful for a short period of time. This is actually a defense mechanism created subconsciously after being surrounded by hate as a child.

    Personality: Cool, calm and collected and doesn't usually speak until spoken to (like Sasuke U.) however he can be enraged in battle.

    2._______ based on punk.
    Background: He is from an elite high class family who pressure him all the time to conform and do what is expected of him. After leaving to the Academy of Fighting Arts, he decided to do what he wanted to do instead of letting others control him. After a year his parents found him to be total punk and disowned him, so as not to embarrass the family. He later accepts this and continues to live life the way he wants to.

    Skills: Is a practitioner of several hand-to-hand combat styles such as muay thai, kickboxing, tae kwon do, and Southern Praying mantis kung fu. Wears spiked bracelets and steel toe boots to make his attacks more destructive. Has the special ability called "Boom!" where he can created an explosion whenever he hits something.

    Personality: Loud, fun-loving, friendly, and somewhat obnoxious, he would rather smoke, eat ramen, or skateboard than work.

    3._____ based on metal.

    Background: haven't thought of one

    Skills: wields a claymore. He has the "transformation" ability. He can transform himself into beast-like monster at will.

    Personality: Is a metalhead does everything whether it is metal or not. Brutal.

    4._______ is based on grunge.

    Background: was abandoned by her parents as a baby and was raised in several foster families.

    Skills: She actually wields a zanbato (a really big sword). Haven't thought of a special ability

    Personality: She's sarcastic, dry-witted and usually tells others what to do without caring if they do it or not. Is kinda like Toph but not a lot.

    Appearance: http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e15/marshmallowpanda/rockchick.jpg

    NOTE: I did not draw this picture and I couldn't find out who drew it or who it belongs to. I DID NOT DRAW THIS AND IT IS NOT MINE. it's just a general idea.

    5._______ based on various bands with female lead singers like Flyleaf and Evanescence and Kittie and others that i forget right now

    Background: She was actually the only child to a very wealth couple. However her parents were assassinated by a rival of her father's and then had her fortune stolen. She had fallen from grace. She later became an assassin in hopes of killing the man who took everything from her.

    Skills: She wields sais and her special ability allows her to create darkness.

    Personality: still working on it

    the overall plot: a group of friends try to stop a malevolent being from taking over the realm of angels while fighting their own personal battles.

    Please help :(

    Wow, that sounds real cool! I dunno why I'm thinking of these names, because usually I'm not creative at all, but here's my ideas:

    1. I was thinking maybe the name Jaden? It's a mix of the name Jay and Aiden. Alternate spelling is Jadien.

    2. Lol... Somehow, I just think "Palmer" would suit this charector.

    3. Not sure

    4. Randi

    5. Aceline

    I like weird names. ^^

    Thank you for your suggestions MistyMighty but I finally thought of the name for 1.nu metal XeRo Yukishiro

    he was actually name Roe, which is short lazy and doesn't mean anything. After he ran away he changed his name to match what those he left behind made him feel. It's also the first name of favorite nu metal band, you know before they changed it to Linkin Park. Yukishiro is actually the last name of my favorite Rurouni Kenshin character, Enishi Yukishiro.

    doing so is now making me think should I chang XeRo's weapon from a dual-hanger to a Wato? And if I do...will I get sued?
