Right I'll start this thread... How there can be a storm in a shadow? Shadow in a storm sounds much more plausible. The name doesn't really make sense - surely you had some motivations to come up with such lame name ?
well... In the end I just wanted a name which is different from the 100k other names in the game. Something what people remember while still being easy enough to spell. Finding name which didn't really make no sense to anyone else but had meaning to me was a nice bonus.
...but there is more This is part of my bio and the actual brain fart from where "grey" and "storm" actually originated.
"There are many stormy moments in everyones otherwise so colorless lives. We all make decissions, good and lil less good. Each choise will change our tomorrow. It can be more bright or turn to shades of grey. Being polite, fair and friendly takes a long way. Being able to think all important actions thru in advance carries the remaining miles. "
I have some alts on this account. Each of them carry different extension. This one is "shadow" because it is the accounts main character and shadow happens to be something I carry with me most of the time.
So there you have it... story of Grey Storm with a shadow.

I evolved this char for one purpose. To counter another "The" who has placed himself above the game and the people in it. I feel we need someone to take him on and a "countername" was neccessary. No-one else had it.

Arklan is my first name. been using it online since the mid 90's when i thought it up somehow or other. i honestly don't recall... in about 2005 i legally changed my real name to it becuase of several occurences at work where people tried to email me, for example, and couldn't find me in the address book, since arklan was, at the time, a nickname. |

My Xbox Live ID is Hanshotfirst**** (numbers hidden) and every time I went on voice, players called me "Hans". (Hans hot? I don't know why they didn't read it as Han shot.)
Anyways, I grew so used to being called Hans that I wanted it to be my Eve callsign, Hans is just what I'm used to responding to on voice now. Jagerblitzen - just sounded germanic enough for a last name, and was a portmanteau of one of my favorite spirits, and favorite indie bands.
I think the name overall roughly translates to...."John Fast-hunt" in english, which is fitting for a minmatar pilot I guess...
I still laugh when players start speaking in German to me in local....I'm from the west coast of the United States. I don't speak a lick of German. |

A pun on multiple levels.
In all of the puns "Jones" goes by the standard definition;
The dictionary wrote:jones/j+ìnz/ Noun: A fixation on or compulsive desire for someone or something, typically a drug; an addiction.
Cipher means many things, including zero, and the act of encryption. The weed circle, and the MC circle in hip hop are both called the Cipher. It also means someone who is insignificant.
I wanted to be an ewar pilot when I started, hence Cipher Jones. Puff puff pass ******. Hence Cipher Jones I planned on being rich in game and not wanting for anything, hence Cipher Jones. Clearly the dopest MC in New Eden, hence Cipher Jones.

My very first Eve character was Surfin SeaOtter (I surf and I see sea otters all the time) and he needed a pirate alt, then one day some alcohol was involved and Surfin displeased me and he was dispatched so the alt became the main. There's also a Surfin's Carebear running around somewhere but I sold him on the character bazaar a long time ago. |

Okay let's see...
I have a great many female friends. I also have a head of very fine, soft hair. Said friends LOVE to play with my hair because "it's the closest we'll ever get to playing with a fuzzy bunny!" (we all live in apartments). A few years ago, I got tired of being called "Fuzzy" so I grew my head hair out. Now it is a beautiful "mane of silky fluffiness" (their words, not mine) so I am currently known as "Fluffy." "Fluffers" is just a branch out from that.
The prefix to my name came about from the serious thought process of "ooooo... it sounds cooler that way." I speak a bit of Persian/Farsi (thanks Dad) and "King" translates to "Shah."
So I am thus, the King of Fluffiness!! "Just because I seem like an idiot, doesn't mean I am one." ~Unknown |

Voldan was created well over 12 Years ago when my old character name (one from a book) started being taken up, or blocked. I have other characters that have been around as long and I tend to use the same names in all the games I play.
Although this was not my first character in EVE I picked another one to use instead. It gets pretty funny at times as some people know me as one character and others know me as another. Especially if they end up in the same alliance or corp.
As far as the name creation, pick something random and then modify it till I like it. With the exception of the one character name which I can't use anymore. |

I pref rnames thta give soem room for roleplaying. I rsearched the forums to see what was the consensus on Amarrian oriin and many seemd to thoguh tthye were like Persina . so i looked for Perian and mongol names in manye websites and came up with Ishtanchuk, form the Persian Ishtar (star) and a pretty common termination fro mongol names which apparently means "strong" (-chuk)
So Ishtanchuk means somehting like "mighty star". As for the surname, just created it from scratch.
For my alt and ingame cousin, Indahmawar, I went east and used google translator until I came up with "indah mawar", which means "beautiful rose" in Malayan. Thus, Indahmawar is my beauty contest ingame cousin...
For my second alt I also used Google an came up with a variation of the Korean words meaning "alternate path", and so she got the name Yiole Gionglao back when Achuras looked Eastern. Now she's a blue eyed redhead and the name looks a bit silly, but, damn CARBON for it. I should had never left X3: Reunion |

But it didn't, and when I was done I ended up with this. Yup, that's how I looked for the first few months here until I switched my face to this old mug. At any rate the prettier picture there, once completed, reminded me of a comic book character from Dv8 (Wildstorm) called Sublime. But Sublime was already taken, and at that point we didn't all prefix our names with CCP so that was the end of that.
Prism was also taken, first by some trial character that had never logged in and now by a solar system in the Black Rise region. So I slapped an X at the end of my name to be more like this guy. That guy is pretty random but always a solid guy to have around. And here we are!

If you look at the Spinward Marches map towards the trailing border of the Domain of Deneb of the Third Empire you will find the system Romar. Aldan Romar was rolled as an imperial noble (Baron) by birth and I chose a system at random, only to later learn of it's interesting, very Dune-inspired background.
From birth on, Aldan Romar was educated as a leader in the service of his people. Graduating from the Naval Academy and Flight school, he joined the Imperial Marines and served as a flight officer in an Imperial Marines Flight Wing, until he was badly wounded and was honourably discharged.
Thanks for still reading... 
Ten years later my life had gnawed away my hobbies when I discovered EVE, and in a culmination of everything I hold dear, Traveller, Elite, Dune, Battletech, grand Science Fiction settings, marvelleous presentation, I am able to reinterpret my character again - with an EVE universe spin... There's nothing worse than leaving a bad looking corpse |

Raife Zetter - its the almost correct spelling (someone else got there first, though hasnt logged on for years..) of a character from the 'The Dark Wheel' novella that accompanied the game Elite by David Braben. He's the guy that appears to Alex Ryder as a hologram when Alex is in hospital after being rescued, and gives him information that starts off the rest of the adventure... |

Barbelo = a kind of "goddess" to the Gnostic "heretics" of the 1st and 2nd centuries CE
Valentinian = Valentinius was the main Gnostic "heretic" of the same period, his followers were called "Valentinians".
The combination seemed vaguely French-like so I liked it for a Gallente characer.
All my characters have some sort of variation on the theme of Gnosticism. Why? Why not?! ;) |

It goes back to the early days of Everquest. I played a bard and needed a musical name.
Molpadia means DEATHSONG. During the Amazon incursion in the Attic war, the Amazon Queen Antiope was surrounded by Atheanean King Theseus and his retainers. Injured and unable to defend herself from harm or violation, Molpadia took up her bow and killed her queen.
In Sir Walter Scott's book 'The Talisman', King Richard the Lionheart becomes ill. King Richard chose a personal friend to speak for Richard and ,by implication, rule in his name, has the same surname as myself. He is usually addressed in the book as Lord De Vaux. The family motto is 'Regi Fidelis'. |

No idea that in some countries 'Pak' means 'uncle'. Was picked up 10 days in the game (while I desperately tried not to get 'lofty scammed') by an asian corp who thought they picked up a fellow asian guy. We had a few laughs when they found out I was not from asia at all.
Good corp btw, gave me my first +5 implants and lots and lots of good directions.

5 self given requirement:
1.) My characters should have "natural sounding" names, names that could very likely also exist in real live. 2.) It should sound somehow "tough". 3.) The name should not trigger any negative associations. 4.) The name should be "unique". 5.) I must feel comfortable with that name being called for example on Teamspeak.
Therefore i got through some names for men, and created a surname slightly similar to a surname from an acquaintance of mine.
After i found a combination, which seemed to be suitable, i "googled" it for any hits, which could interfere with requirement 3 and 4. Since i found nothing with great importance for me, i found my characters name.

Alain is a variant of the Second Life first name for my 'known' persona (Alan).
The two combined is very similar to my SL name, which I've had for so long that I have answered to it at times (back when I was networking in various events around NYC). It has the added benefit of sounding realistic, so interacting occasionally in RP circles is easier. |

Large Collidable Object is the name of a Molvanian warlord during the turkish invasions into Molvania during the early 15th century.
Interestingly, he is the first in a long line of Molvanian warlord that didn't really live, but consisted of body parts and sheep bladders filled with fermenting faeces sewn together, strapped onto a fearsome war- mule and sent into battle ahead of the molvanian army.
The sludge gas evaporating from it made him flail his arms, which, in combination with the pungent stench scared the Turks off before a single shot was fired.
Other sources claim tales about vampirism are derived from the fact that these famous Molvanian warlords couldn't be killed, so people believed they were undead.

I played Everquest for a decade and back in the beginning when lore was actually a big deal I read about a Tier'Dal General who was the leader of the Dark Elves back when the War between Innoruuk and Lanys consumed Kithicor and made it a haunted area.
I was a geek, I am a geek, I still miss that game and I have been known in-game on every game as Nizran since. If Dark Elves could fly spaceships I would gladly put pointy ears on and **** and pillage the galaxy.  |

Back in the dark ages of multi-player gaming, I played a little BBS game called TradeWars 2002. A lot. Was totally obsessed. Seriously lost several years of life to TradeWars... can't tell you how often Eve reminds me of TradeWars, actually.
Anyway, my main character name back then was Reisa, a very helpful but protective character... as a joke in response to a funny chat one late night with several real-life friends in TW2002, I created an alt character called GoingGrey - the root of the joke was about my hair turning grey while I was still so young and sexy (I started greying when I was only 17, this incident occured in my mid 20s).
As alts sometimes do... GoingGrey developed a personality of her own, and kind of became my main in some TW2002 universes. She was so heartless and cruel in the TradeWars universe...
Anyways... GoingGrey quickly got shortened to GG in chat and over time, oddly enough, GG became my real-life nickname. As the years went on, I broke my TradeWars addiction and my hair stopped going grey and became mostly full grey ... and as happens whenever you claim a name you like, other people start using the same name... finding "GoingGrey" characters in other games which wasn't me really irritated me...
But I really liked my nickname of GG. So in keeping with my head full of now-mostly grey hair and the nick of GG... I changed GoingGrey to GreyGal. When I started Eve, the name came with me.
How Greygal's grown to be so friendly and nice coming from the evil roots of GoingGrey is beyond me...

Baltec is most commenly seen as The WorldGÇÖs Leading Riveting Machine Manufacturer!
However, the real reason for my name is because I closed my eyes and pointed to a point on a map of the world. The point happened to be in the middle of the Baltic Sea. Not to be confused with the Baltic art gallary located in Newcastle where CCP owns an office. I swapped the i for an e to make my name a little more unique and boom. Unfortunatly I forgot my first trials details so I had to add on the one at the end.
Thus is the story of Baltec. |

I'll try to keep it short..
Before EVE I played a WorldWar II flight simulator called IL2 with a group of people that formed a squadron called "Vultures Row". Back then I choose the name High5 as I liked the sound of it and it reminded me of Spitfires over the English Channel somehow.
It would also made me giggle when people would say 'High5, bandits at your high five (o'clock)!' .
To distinguish ourselves from other squadrons and players on the servers we all put _VR_ in front of our names so _VR_High5 was my callsign then.
Then over half the squadron started playing EVE and formed the Vulture's Row Coop. So I thought what he hell, I'll join them there too. So when I had to name my character I did exactly the same thing , starting with VR as I thought that is what we did in the squad/corp.
The first time I logged on and joined corp chat I saw to my surprise no one else had done that , everyone had 'normal' names. I was the only one with VR in front of mine. Bugger. 
Now I am kinda stuck with it. But thats fine. What is funny to me that people who don't know me call me VR on comms. My corp mates call me High5, they know better . |

I like to come up with sexy, exotic-sounding names for my female MMO characters. Sometimes I'll consult online lists of baby names and surnames and pick ones that appeal to me, but this time I basically strung together some syllables (I like "S", "sh" and "ah" sounds, obviously). 
Did a little fact-checking just now, turns out "Shahirah" is a real-world (Arabic) name that means "famous".
As for the last name, I can't find any definitive translation, though "orga" could mean "organic" and "sana" could mean "healthy"... strung together, I think they sound vaguely Japanese. |

Well my name Teresa but I call myself Terri. My husband thought as I really like PvP (DAoC, WAR) I would really like a Pirate character. He thought that un-cloaking a large drone battleship and scaring some noobs would appeal to me; he was right, but then we learned how Eve works and causual PvP just isn't it :) Anyway that 's how my name came about.
However, that's not the full story. We sort of stumbled upon, er parties, and these parties have dungeons - real ones. Well now I have a couple of leather outfit, a few whips; and quite an audience when I'm whipping my sub (submisive). Needless to say my BDSM name is also Mistress Terrify. Strange how these things work out. |

I have a great many female friends. I also have a head of very fine, soft hair. Said friends LOVE to play with my hair because "it's the closest we'll ever get to playing with a fuzzy bunny!" (we all live in apartments). A few years ago, I got tired of being called "Fuzzy" so I grew my head hair out. Now it is a beautiful "mane of silky fluffiness" (their words, not mine) so I am currently known as "Fluffy." "Fluffers" is just a branch out from that.
The prefix to my name came about from the serious thought process of "ooooo... it sounds cooler that way." I speak a bit of Persian/Farsi (thanks Dad) and "King" translates to "Shah."
So I am thus, the King of Fluffiness!! Man, I am NEVER flying with you....... I can see local now.... here comes "fluffy". Not "d3ath" or "crazee" or"wildjoker"...... "fluffy"  Psst... Where do ya live?

A long long time ago in a galaxy far far away.........
Oh wait, wrong story.
Back in the 80's my D&D character was a Human Lord that I had named DeMichael Crimson. I came up with the name by using my real life initials - D.M.C. - as the base for it. I decided to go with a name that sounded like it was from the Middle Ages or the Renaissance era. To me, DeMichael sounded like a mix of English and French while Crimson sounded like a Saxon type name.
After that, I've always used the name or my initials, sometimes both, in every game I've played since then.
Usually in MMO's, I'll have friends and acquaintances call me DMC, it's much easier and quicker than writing or saying DeMichael Crimson..

A bit of a story that involves juvenile humor... It was after I saw Star Wars Episode II, at the time I was young and found the word "Anus" to be fairly humorous (to be honest, I still kind of do) and laughed at Dooku's Sith name Darth/Lord Tyranus... Which I, like a child, pronounced Tyr-Anus... lol... Well I then decided to create my own Sith lord name by combining two words I found humorous at the time: Anus and Rectum. which became RectAnus... I thought it harmless, juvenile humor until I was kicked out of several FPS game servers due to the "offensive nature" of my name... I didn't think it was offensive until someone pointed out to me something that I had never noticed before because I knew the actual origin to my name. I was told that my name (and I quote this) "implied violent sodomy"... Only then I realize that my name did in fact sound like "Wrecked Anus" something that I never intended but have since embraced it and find it amusing as well. |

Therefore i got through some names for men, and created a surname slightly similar to a surname from an acquaintance of mine.
After i found a suitable combination, i "googled" it for any hits, which could interfere with requirement 3 and 4. Since i found nothing with great importance to me, i found my characters name.
Surely going by your points, there was only one name that should have been picked?
.... "Walker" or more commonly known- "Walker- Texas Ranger" Walker was a martial arts expert, he battled crime in the Texas area, I think he easily meets points 1-5 surely? Imagine being on Team speak: "Walker, we have bandits trying to gank in Amarr, Ok, 10-4, I'm on my way." Walker

I played CoD. A lot. I could genuinely call myself "noob killer" and not feel ashamed. Well, maybe just a little bit ashamed.
I change my name in FPS games all the time so i dont get people trying to rope me into clans or tieing my name down to the way i fight.
Anyhoo around this time there were people that were still using numbers in names as though this was the height of cool
Its still around (but without the "I AM ELITE!!" sentiment) cause ultimately some **** always takes the name you want and a number is as good as a letter right?....
...right!
So my next incarnation was to be called "N00b killer." - mostly as another way to take the **** out of people that thought they were gods because they spelt their name with a number. Still no shame. sue me! The next change after that I MADE IT BACKWARDS! Im so smart - "Rellik b00n."
About this time I got really bored of FPS games and one new years eve I was up very late, and very drunk, and I found a game called eve online.
Lacking imagination as I do i just picked a name I was already using.
I could have had a name of majesty, desire, greatness or coolness, but no..
I got n00b killer spelled backwards  |

I have a tendancy to do things in a way other players say can't be done, or shouldn't be done, and not only making it work but doing very well with it.
Back in the days of E&B, I wanted to make a Jenquai Explorer (short range, fragile, cloaky scout/support class) that used a combination of the rare long range beams and the rare beam extenders to become a pretty nasty sniper. My friends said that 1st of all, I wouldn't be able to do it, and if I did it wouldn't work the way I thought it would.
I created VaMei, leveled him up, got the gear, and low and behold... The Terran Warriors (long range missle combat class) were complaining that I had too much range and damage. I've kept the name ever since.
That VaMei was named after typhoon Vamei; a tropical storm that formed only 1.5 degrees from the equator (where it was previously considered impossible) and developed into a storm that generated winds of up to 140Km/Hr. |

My story starts around 15 years ago when I first got on the net. I have always been an avid sci-fi fan and gamer (from the 80's up). In the 90's a slew of Star Wars novels were released, most especially the X-Wing series. I of course playing X-Wing and Tie Fighter like a champ, but then Xwing vs Tie Fighter came along......together with multiplayer ability (28k8 modem gooooooooooo)
Anyhow, various clans kept popping up, wars were being organised and fought on a place called The Zone (RIP, f-you Microsoft for taking it over and nuking it to hell). I needed a clan. I found one, Wraith Squadron (later Wraith League of Players). During the signing up process there came a part where I needed a 'nickname'. I had no idea. So I got a pen and paper and started scribbling various combinations down. What to use, what to use. Spent a good few hours on it, but then it hit me...
During the 90's in Holland a movement, music type became immensely popular, called 'Gabber'. Associated mostly with hardcore music, brand name sportswear (Australian, Lonsdale etc), shaved heads or just slickedback hair, even for girls. No I was never part of this, but my sister was and I listened to hardcore anyway :P Gabber and Gabberin NO THATS NOT ME AND MY SISTER, FS. Just an example from google.
Did I mention that I was an avid sci-fi fan? Oh yeah, well Star Trek was also pretty big thanks to the TV shows and the Borg were just complete badass, so I added a numerical value to my name (Trekkies should know where from :P): The Federation's first battle vs the Borg
Thus I combined the two, Gabber+359, and my gamerstag was born :) I've been using it ever since. The only thing I fear, is running out of beer ! |

Stoicism: The Stoics believed that destructive emotions resulted from errors in judgment, and that a sage, or person of "moral and intellectual perfection," would not suffer such emotions.
That, and it seemed like a pretty unique name that no one else would ever think of. However, I have been proven wrong in that regard.

Unfortunately the impact strew their containment facilities in opposite directions. Sri Nova was recovered via a salavging operation in the metropolis regions of a place in the universe called EVE.
Nitra on the other hand arrived in a galaxy far far away , and her life is nearing the end as that galaxy is dying to a force that has destroyed many a universe . may she rest in peace .

I've sometimes used titles in other games as well, like Captain in Lotro (which was my charecter class), and so because I was interested in the science aspect of the game when I first created my charecter I chose to call my self Professor Alphane for EVE, never really got anywhere with the research thing but I like the name

I find it amazing how much effort and thought most of you put into their character creation and names.
Shortly after christmas 2007 (or was it 2006?) I was at a good friend of mine who wanted to recruit me for an eve trial account. I cannot exactly remeber that evening (because of large amounts of beer), but it must have been like this:
Mike: "Trust me, you will like Eve. Let`s make a character for you." me: "Bwha, no, please. Not another MMO, please..." Mike: "Well, just try it out....let's make a character..." me: "Hmm. ok. I wanna be a rogue." Mike: "There are no rogues in eve." me: "Ok. How about a Wizard?" Mike: "Nope. Only spaceships." me: "You're kidding, right?" Mike: "Trust me, you will like it" me: "Hmm..not sure..... What's the best race?" Mike: "Achura. Everyone plays Achura. Achura girls are cute." (after random character generation) Mike: "Ok, now you need a name for her" me: "hmm..let's see....how about something like xXShadowNinjaUberPalaXx ??" Mike: "I won't type that. That's awful." me: "hmmm....you just told me about his webcomic you were reading...any good names there?"

Aeril Malkyre is a character I made up back in 7th grade. My best friend and I were huge Star Wars nerds, and when I moved away, we took to writing letters* to each other as people living in the Star Wars 'verse. We'd talk about our latest runs, and make up wild stories about planets we'd visited and aliens we'd met. Aeril was a freight hauler who occasionally took smuggling jobs. He wasn't a criminal in his mind, just someone trying to get by.
We lost touch ages ago, but Malkyre or some variant has been my handle on every game I've played since, and in several P&P RPGs as well. He will always be my alter ego in the realms of the virtual.

Back in the days of Asheron's Call I was going by "Macabre" and "Sovereign" which I eventually realized was used by everybody and their dog, so I decided to make up a truly original name that I could not find in any use or in any known dictionary.
The result was "Vertiscent". I went by this name for many years and around the time I started playing EvE I decided to shorten it a bit down to "Vertisce" and completely ignored the fact that it looks like a misspelling of the word "Vertice".
"Soritenshi" is simply as close as I could find to the word "Archangel" in Japanese. EvE is not about PvP.-á EvE is about the SANDBOX! - CCP!-á Open the door!!! |

My name was given to my by my ritual Master during a deep trance session in the middle of the Amazonian Jungle.
I was there bathed and ointed in secret coconut oils and guava essences, mixed with pineapple and mango pastes as sweet smelling sacrifices to the Natural Spirits of the Yanomami tribe.
After inhaling burnt herbs smoke and learning to create Curare poison I travelled with my Piache into a secluded spot on the jungle and was left there alone to fend for myself.
There under the jungle canopy and ointed in several fruit pastes I was promptly covered in ants and other insects. I let the jungle overtake me and as I dwelled on the pain that the insects crawling over my body inflicted me, I had a vision. I was able to see the spirit of the Jungle and be one with the Universal Order.
I was shown the sign of XXX XXX and thus my fate was decreed, I promptly dunk into the river, bathed and removed my old skin and went back to my spiritual mentor and the tribe.
There I was tended for my wounds and lay in a semi conscious state for 4 days as the fevers wracked my body and everything within my frame was expelled, both good and bad, for I was reborn.
I began speaking in tongues and the sign that was my personal guide, taught me many things. I saw the world and the people in it and saw the threads of unity and how certain beings were driven to unravel this web of life.
I was introduced to the concept of the War in the Heavens and the vision was so great I began to convulse.
I almost died but after 4 days of this ordeal I recovered. The Yanomami Piache and some people from the tribe had cared for my wounds.
I was truly a new being, a reborn being ... I was no longer XXXXXXX XXXXXX but XXXXXX-XXXX ... and ... oh you mean EVE Online?

In 1991 I was dialing in to a BBS for the very first time and had to get a handle. As the golfer I was I picked the old scottish name for the 5 Iron club - Mashie. I have used that name online ever since.
When I started to play EVE I wanted to use Ione Saldana as a name from the books by Peter F Hamilton, however I was 3 years late to grab it so I used the surname and added Mashie infront.
My alts Monica Foulkes, Dominique Vasilkovsky and a few others are however all straight out of those books without added tweaking. Dominique Vasilkovsky Mashie Saldana Monica Foulkes |

My first toon was an Intaki miner. With this guy I decided to make a more RP toon and also fly Caldari and use missles. Looking over the bloodlines I liked the way Achur looked. So then I needed a good name that was not too "gamey". David Wingrove wrote an excellent book series named Chung Kuo. In it my favorite character was named Steven Lehman, an albino who wore all white (the chinese color of death). A ruthless killer and gang leader who slaughters his way to the top of the Triads and becomes the king of the underworld. Much of his story is told through the eyes of his Han second Souchek. Putting the two together I thought it sounded quite nice as a mix between asian and european influences. S.L. |

The name MajesticParadise comes from my bio on my other account SilentSentinel....a bio that came to life in EVE.
"Ambiguity of the truth can alter one's perception toward the realization of events surrounding reality. A Cup of Tea to my friends and my Sympathies to those that entertain the undesired events of the surreal. Anonymous are the Silent, inevitability surrounds the contemptuous.
EvE is the paragon from which my inner pshychopathy emanates and eludes to a majestic paradise, torn between the gardens of good and evil. Never has the fruit tasted so everlasting and yet evasive to this fractured soul. My mind's salvation will forever reside in a perpetual state of paranoidal deja vu.
My memoires let me walk in the dark, wondering in a void of solitude, untouched by the truth, and hidden within the folds of my mind. The screams of the damned resonate unbidden within this surreal nitemare that I, as it's only witness, believed to be an idiosyncracy of fate.
Cheers SS" |

This character was originally created as a scanning alt of another char of mine, Karen Estarra - I needed someone to leave in a WH system should I ever get podded out of there, and thus Karens brother David was born.
As for the origins of his name, I already had Estarra, which was taken from a character in the Saga of the Seven Suns series by Kevin J. Anderson.
I needed a first name though, so I just plumped for the name of my favorite actor.
David has come a long way since then, I haven't lived in the WH for a couple of years now so he's been fleshed out and become a very capable character in his own right, and has replaced Karen as the main on the account.
Also, David looks like me IRL, even down to the hair! People often ask how I managed to get my picture in the game, lol  |

An oldish tale =P
I joined the USAF in 1985, and became a jet engine mechanic on C-141 Starlifters (aircraft now retired). I was stationed at McGuire AFB in New Jersey and worked the nightshift on the flightline doing run-ups and troubleshooting etc. I was issued a used headset because I was runcrew, and the one I selected had the callsign "Scorpion" stenciled onto it all ready. Since I was born in Nov and a "Scorpio" I thought it appropriate to acquire it.
After a few years working the flightline the headset took a beating with oil/hyd fluid erasing most of the stencil and leaving "SCOR" still readable on it. That became kinda my name/callsign with the rest of the mechs. I had also quit smoking cigarettes in favor of cigars because at the time well, everyone else at work was smoking them too.
We smoked right outside our shop in a beatdown hangar, and when a job came up we'd tap out whatever remained of the cigar and place it on a ratty old table for later use. We'd head out for the night and take care of all the maintenance, and launching whatever mission birds had to go.
Upon return the 5 or 6 of us who smoked had to remember who's cigar belonged to who.
"No thats not mine... thats Scor's cigar." was common. After a while that became my callsign, and i put it across my headset.
Scorcigar.
I've used the name in many MMO's in a few variations, but there it is =P
OMG I'm ******* old. |
