Lazarus Tag'lim

Lazarus Long is one of my favorite science fiction characters (from the novels of Robert Anson Heinlein). The problem is that "Lazarus Long" is fairly common... so it's a first-come, first-serve... you might be able to get it if you start the first week of the game.
I came up with the last name when I joined SWG... I was looking through some Star Wars RPG naming guides, which had a few different styles of character mutatations for creating names. Neither of my names really came out well (Nohj from John is kind of bland). There was a MagLight on my desk at the time... I tried it, "taglighm", removed the unnecessary characters, "taglim", and added the Twi'lek break, "Lazarus Tag'lim". Unique enough that I can generally use it anywhere that allows apostrophe's.
Then came Lysander Tag'lim (from Lysander Spooner, a 19th century American philosopher, lawyer, and abolitionist), and Latimer Tag'lim (who never sees the light of day).

My name come from early Tennessee history. The Watauga Association was one the early attempts at self government during the 1770's and many of the Tennesse's forefathers were a part of it. I am also a direct decendent of a Cherokee Chief that lived in the area.

Named after a bizarre cartoon from when I was a kid. If you watched Pulp Fiction, it was the show on TV when young Butch got his dad's watch. The faces were static but the lips were real moving human lips. I figured the name was a good fit for an industry character.
I am not named after the club in Detroit. I get asked that alot.

I intendet to give it a slight arabic sound - my Midgard pen'n'paper character is called "Chasid" - anyway Tsual came out in the end, not so much arabic more short and easy to remember besides sounding odd, and I like odd things - it's not my normal gaming nick though.

Arlenic Cocomoonik
|
Posted - 2005.09.21 06:56:00 -
[41]
Well, my real name is Arlen. So I added the 'ic' to the end based on my family history. I've always named my characters Arlenic in all mmorpgs, and where possible, followed by a second name. In this case Cocomoonik. Coco is the name of a beautiful girl that I met a long time ago, and moonik just reminds me of the moon.

A couple of years ago i signed up for the beta of a game called a tale in the desert. Needed a name and decided on Epictetus since i figured it wouldnt be taken.
The original Epictetus was a stoic philosopher.

Lets see, well, a while back I was in tech School in southern California and dating a stripper. She was actually a gamer, and convinced me to start an Everquest Account. I loved the game, but couldn't figure out a name.
I have no real imagination, but she convinced me to use a lot of "X"s ... wonder why... 
Anyway, a perversion of my last name, replacing key consanants with "x"s and ect led me evenually to "Xardrix".
Kept it ever since... And broke up with said crazy stripper.

Named my character from an old school sci fi that came out back in 1990.
Synopsis: Two human cops track down a ruthless alien fugitive who forcibly overdoses his victims with drugs in order to siphon off the endorphins it produces in the human brain, an illegal narcotic on his own planet.
Thats the basics of the movie and Dolph Lundgren is in it.
Tried to get my main eve character to look like the alien in the movie
You should been ridock :S
In HW2 the first time I played I was really drunk and couldnt think of a name so i made my name "Imreallydrunk," which got shortened to drunk when I joined a clan, and then theres too many people named drunk so I became DrunkenOne, and I've been that since then in every game.
Yeah drunk maybe, but I already got 21mil sp on this char all amarr sooo...
maybe I train a new char at some point with that name 
damn drunk hw player  |

Mine is.... obsucre
A cargo cult is any of a group of religious movements that occurred in Melanesia, in the Southwestern Pacific. The Cargo Cults believed that manufactured western goods ('cargo') were created by ancestral spirits and intended for Melanesian people. White people, however, had unfairly gained control of these objects. Cargo cults thus focused on purifying their communities of what they perceived as 'white' influences by conducting rituals similar to the white behavior they had observed, presuming that this activity would make cargo come.The most famous examples of this behavior are airstrips, airports, and radios made out of coconuts, straw, and other jungle materials that were built in the belief that transport planes full of cargo would land on them if they were built. Today, most historians and anthropologists argue that the term 'Cargo Cult' is a misnomer that describes a variety of phenomena. However, the idea has captured the imagination of many people in the First World, and the term continues to be used today.
And why for this char? - well it was a hauler (orginally)
for further detail see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult
