The Survivor Factor So you think you've seen the names in Night Soldiers before . . . You may be right . . . if you watched CBS any these past two years. I needed a good resource for me to grab names for most of the main human and all supporting characters in my comic. It was while I was grasping for ideas when I found out about Richard Hatch winning the first Survivor, who--dispite the lifestyle diffrence--share the first name with Richard Kronos. I don't know if I heard a bell, or the opening chant of "Ancient Voices" but I did get my idea: I have the first names of the Castaways--from the first season and all subsequent ones--and put them in a mental hat. When I need a name for a character, I'll pull one out of that hat. As long as Mark Burnette spits out seasons, I'll never be lost for another name. In fact, I still have a good number from both seasons remaining. (Winners are noted with an * before the name) Season 1: Borneo BB -- Robert Brandon (B.B.) Kronos, Richard's Father. Usually serves in the USMC as a Drill Instructor at Parris Island. Presence in a reality TV Show a possibility, as well as the occasional dropping in to check up on his boys.
