I love the 666 ref DCXVI.

My first name is Asdar from back at the start of EQ. I didn't know what I was going to use for a name, I had my last name already but not the first. I accidentally bumped my left hand on the keyboard, if you type you'll notice ASD are the base position on left hand, well the bump went Asdar, even had the caps somehow.

It seemed like fate and I've had the name ever since. The other reason I went with it was because I was a healer and I was thinking of my last name before my first. My last name is Aspirinicillin which comes from Aspirin and Penicillin two of the wonder drugs of the 20th century.

Voila, Asdar Asprinicillin

Well met everyone

Valmythra Pyne, Maevillan Quickseht, Adelissa Signe and Maevil Necris.

Dont mean a thing. Randomly put them together one day many many moons ago and started using 'em in all my games. If you've ever seen one of the above names in any game, that was most likely me.

Um. I have several characters, most of their names being based upon characters I already created in short stories. No significant meaning in any of them, really.

Jennis Idol (genocidal): E/Mo or E/N depending on mood.

Sensei Shanull (sensational): W/E

Imac Oolgai (I'm a cool guy): Mo/Me (ripped my friend off for this one just because I liked it, and this name was around before apple ever made an Imac)

Mark Twang: R/Mo Obvious rip of a famous author. Both the first and last name have archer overtones.

Pollo Loco (my ranger's pet): Means "Crazy Chicken" in Spanish. Ripped the name from an crappy Mexican restaurant I ate at once as a kid in Houston. The name just seemed so fitting for my giant insane chicken friend.

C-Tzar: Has been my handle for years. I'm the "Tzar" (ruler) of "C" (the programming language). I'm a programmer; it's an ego thing. The fact that it sounds much like the way Americans erroneously believe Caesar is pronounced is just bonus.

How is Caesar pronounced then? (my name was randomly generated three games ago and it fits the criteria for "tells"--short, easy to spell so I kept it)

Owen Devs-Came to me when I miss read one of the Anet updates. They were talking about a sign up for a PvP match called "Own the Devs" or some such.

I think I was kinda tired.

Than Sa-A Burmese name, the surname(in Burmese the first name, Than) is from a ruling member of the Junta. The first name(In Burmese this comes second, Sa) is from one of the reble leaders. Burma is one of my pet interests. I don't really know why.

A little bit of a story...

My husband and I play a family of characters. In another MMO (SWG), he played a bothan, the dog-like race. I was a human named Swampgirl Inez.

Swampgirl = I was born and raised in South Louisiana
Inez = my middle name

When creating our characters for GW, we kept the names, but we wanted to pay homage to our cute Bothan puppy characters. I took on the name Inez Houndstooth and all his characters have the same last name.

My guildies kept asking me about "Swampy". She was kind of popular... so I created a second character, another Swampgirl Inez here at GW.

If you want to know how we're all related, you can PM me.

It's funny that name "D C L X V I" is used by the same account that is owned by Playful Kitty.

Kitty, why'd you change your forum name?
