Adeptus Mechanicus - Character Name Generator
/
Omnissiah be praised! Once again I’ve coaxed the tired machine spirit of my decade-old PC into blessing us with another 40K character name generator, and this time I’ve turned my cybernetic hand to the Adeptus Mechanicus. Now you can name your tech priests, servitors, robots and just about any other character produced by the priesthood of Mars.
You may be wondering why there are no ‘male name’ and ‘female name’ options for this one, and the answer is this; the more I learn about the Adeptus Mechanicus, the more it seems to me that gender is irrelevant to them. That’s not to say that AdMech characters don’t have genders - that’s demonstrably not the case - it’s just that it doesn’t seem to be a defining feature of their society. They are after all grown in vats rather than reproducing the old fashioned way, and the degree to which they augment their bodies could easily make a male tech priest indistinguishable from a female one - perhaps even functionally identical.
Add to that the fact that, whilst researching for this generator, I could rarely tell which way (if any) existing AdMech names in the background lore were gendered, and it seems almost silly to make the distinction here. I believe that the vast majority of the names produced by this generator will suit male AdMech characters, female characters and those scions of Mars that have transcended gender entirely. Let me know if you disagree!
This name generator is perfect for narrative play in the 41st millennium, whether you're naming your heroes in Warhammer 40,000 or each and every squad member in Kill Team. I hope you like it!
If you use the generator and enjoy it, I’d love it if you’d leave a comment below - let me know what names you’ve come up with! And as always, feel free to share it as you see fit.
