robot names
The generator rolls among 5 differently weighted styles: 25% military designation, 25% Latin power name, 20% tech compound, 15% numbered android and 15% battle mech, each one drawing from its own word bank and producing a name structure that none of the other 4 styles share.
"ARKN" is one of 152 alphanumeric prefixes, and "-100η" falls in the 25% branch where the suffix combines a number (from 46 options) with a Greek letter (from 48), the rarest of the 3 possible suffix shapes.
"JARA" is one of 211 short names in the android bank, and "16" is a separately rolled number from 1 to 99, a total of 20,889 possible combinations in this style.
"Ice Ferret" is one of 100 mech names and "Model D" one of 37 model variants, including Roman numerals, letters and revision tags, adding up to 3,700 combinations.
It creates designations in the style of corporate and scientific acronyms, the type of name that sounds like a meaningful abbreviation, even when the expansion is fictional.
It is a 3-way probability split: a 50% chance of a plain numeric suffix (from a 46-entry list, "0" to "9000"), a 25% chance of a Greek letter alone (from 48 options, lowercase and uppercase), and a 25% chance of combining both, as in "ARKN-100η", the rarest of the 3 formats.
The android style always has a short humanoid name (from 211 options) plus a number from 1 to 99, with the fixed subtitle "Android Unit", built for a single autonomous unit; the mech style pairs a battle name (from 100 options) with a model variant (from 37), subtitle "Battle Mech", built for a large-scale combat machine rather than a small independent unit.
Many are: names like "Nemesis", "Janus", "Hecate" and "Kronos" are real Greek or Roman deities, others like "Centurion" and "Legatus" are real historical Roman military ranks, and the 355-word bank mixes those real references with Latin-sounding coinages that do not map to any specific historical word or figure.
Yes, that is the style's rule: a capitalized prefix (from 104 options) attaches directly to a lowercase suffix (from 77 options) with no space or hyphen, as in "Boltmod" or "Hyperspine", different from the compound style in the superhero name generator, which uses its own word banks but follows the same fusing rule.
