Having the discussion while waiting to tee-off, we were naming the company's product names and trying to determine if they would be a good cartoon charater or an evil charactor.
For example:
Orc- definately evil
Crush- evil minion, hit man
Valkerie- Obviously, champion of light...good
Roc- swings both ways. StormShadow/SnakeEyes theory.
Buzz-Evil captain of the wasps & drones
MRX- Mr. Super good guy...too many powers to list.
There are some examples...what do you think? Feel free to give disc names, allignment, and any special powers they might possess.
*In no way does the original poster want to tick off dg manufacturers, good or evil affiliation is all in jest*

Evil:
Demon Speaks for itself
Speed Demon same as above only faster
Sabre , used to KIll
Blaze , used to burn
Good:
Spirit, good in the eyes of the american indian
wizard, seems to be good as in the books of Harry Potter
Element, earth, wind and water mother nature is not always good be usually it thought of as. :D
Up in the air:
Illusion
Hybrid
element X
Element X sounds evil to me....
illusion sounds good, but i dont know why.

Illusion sounds like an evil batman nemesis. Dr. Illusion, evil prince of prestidigitation. Master of Illusion. Am I high?
I like the stormshadow/snake-eyes theory of Rocs, that seems to fit well. Wraiths are so wicked evil. Coyote's are evil in cartoons, but my coyote is my guardian angel. It has saved me many times.
Reapers, evil.
Teebirds, very good.
Eagles, sometimes good, but wanna be bad.
Firebird, evil older brother of teebirds and eagles.
Buzzz's are gentle and loving, Wasps are the evil ones.
Elements and Element-Xs are like Jean Grey and Dark Pheonix. Good, but reserected in evil out of the ash of 1000 fallen pheonix's.
Elements and Element-Xs are like Jean Grey and Dark Pheonix. Good, but reserected in evil out of the ash of 1000 fallen pheonix's.
HAH!!! woooo... oh man... Didn't see that one coming.
MRV - accidentally gained super powers, and accidentally saves the world
Wraith - obviously evil
Viking - thinks it's good, but to everyone else is bad
Beast - on the border of good and evil, does jobs for both sides

Innova = We are the only guys on tour so we sweep everything but worlds :eek: And try to get everyone in the world to throw our plastic. Even ams who we call sandbaggers and tell to move up all the time :eek: :D
Coyote = appears goofy and evil to the uninitiated, but once an alliance is created this disc will perform midrange shots and crafty trick shots for you that are borderline miraculous. very loyal and dependable underneathe that trickster exterior.
btw, don't listen to Pimp. read inbetween his lines and all you'll hear is: "come to the Dark side..." :D

Rhyno, is like "The thing", good guy, kinda blunt and not the smartest, but it gets the job done when nothing else can.
Vipers are just like Dodge Vipers, Blunt, but faster than shiit and Overstable as shiit. Best thumber disc ever. so...Bad boy, like one of the decepticons. STARSCREAM! [I'm a potty-mouth!] voice, kindof a ******, but menacing and a royal pain in the arse. Never dies either.

Rams, Rhynos, and Rocs are like the dinosaur transformers. Old, archaic, dumb, blunt, but still thrive in the present. They represent historical themes and present day themes at the same time. They transend trends and genres.

CFR Starfire = Ultimate superhero who can only be defeated by " The [CFR} Wraith".
CFR Wraith = Cannot be defeated, because no evil discs can catch it!

Once again, a thread is created to be lighthearted and goofy, and then someone has to come in and turn it into a "my plastic is better than your plastic" argument.
Having not thrown any from the list and basing it stictly by name, I think Illusion would be another fast good guy.

Only a matter of time. Why must every thread turn into Innova vs. Discraft vs. Gateway?
Look they are all good discs! THROW WHAT YOU LIKE TO THROW AND SHUT UP! Throwing Discraft does not make you a better player, throwing Innova does not make you a better player. Getting a piece of plastic into a basket makes you a better player.
I see Novices all the time saying they wish they could throw like "so and so". I tell them throw however you want, whatever gets it to the basket. Roll it, overhand, tomahawk, sidearm, it doesn't matter. Whatever gets it to the basket.
Now get back on topic....

I think whoever names discs at Innova is losing his/her/their mind(s). Let's see, Coyote, Wraith, Roadrunner.
Speaking of cartoon characters, I can't wait til I have a Coyote and Roadrunner in the bag! MEEP! MEEP!
I see the Aviars as being a benevolent group loyal only to themselves. Kind of like the elves in LOR. The leader is called Klimo, and he has unimaginable powers.
Beasts are thugs, and mostly bad, but some of the smart ones work for the good side.
Orcs-bad
Starfire-good- Fierce warrior
Wraith-bad-nemesis of Starfire. More powerful, but his ego gets the best of him.
Avenger- loner- started helping the good guys when his family gets killed by a rabble of beasts. Doesn't really get along with the good beasts, but they co-exist.
Venom is bad, Sidewinder is good.
Predator has to be good-I love these discs.
TeeBird is most definitely the leader of the good guys.
Cyclone is the leader of the bad guys.
People will always argue about discraft vs. innova. The fact is...most people need to feel like they are part of a group. So they pick a click to run with and bash the other clicks to make themselves seem superiour (not unlike your average sixth grader). The only reason to chose one exclusively is if your sponsored.
How about the Flick?
Im thinking its a sidekick for some bigger slower bad guy. You know kind of running and jumping around it like that little dog and that bigger dog in that dog food commercial, or like the little sidekick for the bully in A Christmas Story (his name might have been Flick actually...or was that a different character?)

So I had just woke up when I posted it, sorry....
About the crush..I put it as evil, but not as evil as others.
Wildcat- Chaotic/good
Demon Chaotic/evil
Wizard Lawful/good
Buzz Lawful/ evil
Wasp Chaotic/ good
xpress lawful/good
predator chaotic/evil
avenger chaotic/ good
talon lawful/ good (also teebird)
Wraith chaotic/good
Here's a quick run down hehe
Stable to understable lawful/good
stable to slightly overstable...chaotic good
Overstable lawful evil
Extremely overstable.... chaotic evil
Crush is good. He is mentally handicapped and only knows a few words like Timmy on South Park. He is the laregest of all the Orcs, but they treated him badly because of his mental capacity and were jealous of his immense strength, so he was adopted by the good guys. He likes to smash opponents to the ground and throw boulders at them....ME CRUSHHHH!!! He is often confused....me crush? He is also very proud of his accomplishments...Me Crush :D. He saved Avengers life one time by thwarting the Reaper when Avenger was at a disadvantage. Before this Avenger was annoyed by Crush's lack of intelligence, but now they are tight friends and watch each other's back. :p

Not neccesarily, You are not evil, your disc's might be. This involves you in an internal struggle between staying in the light and unleashing the power of the darkness inherent in your disc. embrase the darkness, throw with the wicked evil powers in your disc, and lower your score!

My firebird (AKA Firechicken) was fantastic last night, definately a good character. He's like the special forces strike team leader dodging and parrying through the battlefield, and coming down with the thunder of the gods.
He's moved up in rank over the other feathered friends...are the firechicken, teebird, eagle, raven, and birdie like the hawk people in Flash Gordon? Alittle misunderstood, but inevitably good?
Ah that explains it. I thought he wore women's clothing hehe.
