kolobos is ancient greek for 'to maim or to mutilate', but it seem that the only thing ive maimed so far is large rocks floating in space

I would like to hear where everyone came up with their names. There's a lot of interesting ones out there and I'm curious.
Personally, anyone who is familiar with D&D or the recent D&D games from Bioware might recognize "Asimir" (pronounced A-sim-ear) as being the name for a race of people who were born of one angelic parent. Basically a half angel, half human.
Do you know Gullstaff sorcerer of light?
nails comes from nine inch nails. I started using it in the early 90s when Dwango first launched. I needed a new nickname so that's what I came up with.

I find it rather amazing that every time you post, your in a different corporation then before.
 I'm confused. I've only ever been in one corp and that's PIE.

During character creation i was trying to remember an evil characters name from DND, and i plucked Velsharoon out of my head. Next week when i played DND i realised that the character was Manshoon so i have no idea were i got 'Velsharoon' from.
Ah well i like it now

Jim wtf! I told you about freelancing again! 
Seriously tho Lianhaun - Jim is actually a rl buddy who I sit opposite (at work) all day...
...so if he has been joining other corps he has been a right sneaky sod! AFAIK he has been PIE since the day he was 'born' 
Still waiting for him to thwart pirates tho!
I actually have a secret suspicion he is really Tank CEO playing a devious double game. To keep me off the scent he even podded himself once!

Sorry for the mix up then

... That'd be James Hawkings, and it was 100 mil; but easy to mix these two up, yeah ;s

I thought half angels were the Nephilim not Asimir which oddly enough is the connection to my name - though with a field or two! :p
Oh and yes I am that Ugly :)

Nah, the half-Celestials in D&D are called the Aasimar, the Biblical half-angels were the Nephilim.

I was fed up of my first nickname i've got since more than 10 years (LordBrain), so, in beta, i've choosen the nick "Dark Skull". But as it looks a bit too english for a gallente character, i've "blur" it in Darsk'hul (pretexting an Intaki father and a Minmattar mother ) |

Rafe Zetter was the rake-faced slave runner in the Elite novella 'The Dark Wheel'. I would have gone for Alex Ryder, but it was too normal.
I was briefly called Irrikan in beta (Irrikan ThruSpace were of course the manufacturers of the Cobra Mk III drive motors), but people seemed to think I was an Irraki terrorist. |

Its funny, in some things I have the imagination of a 5 year old on acid, but when it comes to choosing names I have the imagination of a slapped arse.
So I started working my way through the bit part characters in Back to the Future - my first character back in beta was Needles (who also happens to be the base player in the Red Hot Chili's :) ), but I got bored, and created threeD - whos one of biffs hench men.. the one (brace yourself for the surprise) that wears the 3D glasses...
edit: also, (and of course this is important enough to warrent me editiing the post) you need a name with at least 3 characters, so I spelt the 3..

My other char "Loupdinour" is a slight misspelling of a D&D variation of a werewolf that requires a skin to change form. Tried to get it as my nickname sometime back in the mid 90s but the correct spelling was used where I tried to get it so I slightly misspelled it and it stuck ever since.
As for ths char, I'm an overall fan of wolves and werewolf part of the horror genre so I had to have loup in my name somewhere. To me it sorta sounded like a mix of wolf and dragon so I went with it lol.

Edited by: Jade Constantine on 27/10/2003 16:05:45
I'm glad someone is going around resurrecting all these interesting threads that I missed first time around.
Jade Constantine eh?
Well, I did actually had a fairly complete character background worked out before generation ... my rl friends and I in Jericho had decided the type of corporation we wanted and the type of goals we were going after, and so as CEO, Jade had to fill a couple of important roles as spokesperson for a mercenary psychological warefare and public relations corp.
"Jade" is I think, a working name, because in terms of character background she was a bond-slave-courtesan for the Amarri empire, Sarum family, and a very accomplished practioner of the oldest profession. Some of my old background stuff tells of her rising up the ranks of Amarr servitor class for spying and intel gathering and finally winning freedom and a stake in the great game of politics by playing off unnamed personages in the Amarri royal houses.
I admit I was influenced by the wonderful:
Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey Which is the first book in a rather wonderful trilogy that mingles interesting sensual perspectives with high intrigue and lovingly described decadence.
I did my bit for carrying this off with the selection of social skills, high charisma, and Amarr ship technology, but I admit I may have got a bit too carried away with politics and the high profile PR game recently to play too much of the covert stuff.
"Constantine" well, its always been a favourite name of mine, both for the amazing Hellblazer comic and cameos from Lady Johanna Constantine and of course the relevence to earlier british history and Arthurian mythology.
Here is another excellent Johanna Constantine piccy here
The idea was to suggest that Jade had an extended family and connection to several old families in the heirachy of Eve.
Plus of course, it just sounds cool ;)
Anyhow, months and months down the line I am still quite happy with the name and the portrait. And its nice to see that Jericho Fraction achieved quite a lot of the goals we set ourselves as raw noobs ;)
Still, lots left to play for.
(Hope that was interesting to some)
Love and peace
