    • I have a character code named Tower and my thought it is basically a brain in a darlek chassis, then I got thinking what if that was their school look and they upgraded since?

    this is where my google-fu fails me I saw an episode of face of where they made a rook chess piece that unfolded around the person, I can't find a good picture of that.

    Problem: there's a guy named 'Tower' in the Cadet Crusaders. Yes, there's a 'Tower' in Marvel Comics, but he's not at Whateley, and the Marvel Tower is a chick so Marvel's lawyers have restrained themselves to nasty bullying letters instead of actual litigation.

    How about 'Rook'?

    If that many sources have a 'Rook', then it's generic enough that lawyers can't get involved

    Indeed, if it can be considered 'generic' they can't complain that you're using their IP....

    • And if they do try anything, then you just distract them with competing lawyers and sit down with some popcorn.
    Seriously, thank you for your time and effort. It is appreciated.

    • thinking Tower is mostly a nick name/informal call sign, now that you reminded me of the cc.

    • ended up using the phrase "looked like the love child of R2D2 and DCs Th Brain with its all to human grey matter visible through the dome at the apex of the droid body."
