Natohk Amon

I was going for Thoth Amon, but that was already taken. So I merged the names of my 2 favourite Conan magicians Natohk and Thoth Amon, thus it became Natohk Amon.

Quote: i just carried it on and added the corp name to the front liek all our corp members.
I don't understand why people add corp names and titles like "CEO" to their character names. . face it, Corps split up. . won't you look a little silly if they do?

I always think long and hard about my name... Sometimes it takes a while, sometimes it does not.
Chai just popped into mind, no references to anything, thought it sounded fast and fast ships is what I am into in this game.
N'Dorr kinda followed in the same way, had a good ring to it and I think it fits the Minmatar theme.

Edited by: Alynthir on 28/10/2003 14:26:40 Alynthir was an elven assassin I played in an old D&D campaign a while back. I played him for about four years. He had one of the most complete back stories of any character I ever played, which has helped as I've made him the center of a series of three books that my friends all tell me I should try to have published.
Born of noble blood and inducted into an elite group of rangers, Alynthir betrayed the code of the Order by killing a fellow student during training. The student had been suspected of the r@pe of another classmate. Alynthir taking the law into his own hands earned him banishment from the Order and stripped of his noble title.
Turning his back on his heritage, Alynthir eventually fell in with a group of mercenaries. Through them he was recruited by an elite society of killers and, from that point forward, was known only by the name 'Darklight'.
Alynthir's personal journey of self-discovery and subsequent redemption was what filled four years of D&D gaming and the three books I felt a need to write to end his story.
Deadly with a bow or a pair of short swords, Al was one mean bastard.
And now he flies a space battleship.
The Alynthir of EVE is an ex-Amarrian Naval Captian. He distinguised himself in numerous Minmatar border conflicts, eventually earning an Armageddon battleship command. However, in his first major battleship action, he was ordered by the fleet admiral to open fire on a Minmatar civilian transport filled with women and children.
He refused the order, lost his command and was demoted. Disgusted with the circumstances of his demotion, Alynthir retired from military service and took a job as the Chief Tactical Officer of Nexus Enterprises, a post he holds to this day. _____ CLS Civil Affairs Bureau

Edited by: Perera on 28/10/2003 15:52:56 Actually one of my middle names after my step-grandfather's surname. I've used it for years now in gaming and it's proven handy, in sounding different.
In truth, it's a common enough Spanish/Portugeuse family name, more often spelt Pereira.

The Wretch

[161]
Used to be a hard core Magic The Gathering card player for several years (winner of the 1996 CCG championship and have every card made up to Tempest - kind of sad really ). I don't know why, but one of my favorite cards was The Wretch. Never used it in any competition decks.
When Gooseman started developing Counter-Strike I used it as a handle and subsiquently have kept the name for all other online games (used The Wrench in TFC before CS was given birth).

i have always loved your sig. the arrow's a nice touch. subtlety is so overrated sometimes :D
I was "online" meaning local BBSes at 300 baud in the late 80s. I had read a book and some short stories that totally blew my mind by this chap called Gibson... so i quite cleverly began calling myself Chrome (never mind the "real" one's a she). Also things like technomancer and cybermage, but chrome was the most "orignal" and i was the only one i saw thru the early 90s.
Well THAT changed fast. I have no real consistent "online identity" now, just make up whatever seems appropriate for the setting. For BH, here, since naming is done after you make the character, i was playing with the various appearance options for Beta when i had just gotten in (had already applied to Oracle) and got this evil clown lookin' dude, but couldn't think up a non-generic name (Insane Clown Posse? oops... Harley Quinn? Darnit...). Was thinking he looked like he got kicked out of the evil-clown convention for being too rough-trade, and here I am :D

Quote: There are a number of places my name could have come from however I took it from what is, in my opinion, one of the greatest FPS's ever - Marathon. The second game in the Marathon series was called Marathon 2: Durandal, Durandal being the unstable AI from the first game that ends up helping you out and becoming a bit of a hero in the second game.
i loved those games. The game manual even had the origins of the usage of the word in its modern form. The first one, well you don't know that Durandal's losing it, but you sure find out. Atmospherically for creep-out-rising-panic factor it's right up there with the System Shocks IMHO.

Bobby Wilson

William Gibson wrote a number of books often credited as "founding" the cyberpunk genre. He coined a number of terms we commonly use for electronics, gaming and especially internet references.
He had an insult in his books, to be called a "Wilson", which is basically a total screw-up. He explains (just once) in a book called Count Zero that the name comes from a real person named Bodine Wilson who had been a very skilled, but very unlucky hacker who had experienced braindeath a number of times from hitting heavy-duty electronic security whilst at his chosen trade. I enjoyed the reference as it is both self-deprecating, and yet so incredibly obscure that I can be sure only 1 person in a 1000 know the original source.
Sadly "Wilson" was taken when I got to EVE, so I wrote down what I *thought* had been the proper name from the books. Recently double-checked and discovered my mistake

Cool, congrats.
Oh, stupid idea by the way.

Where to begin..
My first online persona was "ShadowFax", which is the God of Horses in the LoTR series. Some bastard took it a couple times though, so I decided to use a new nick. Kaclain Rider, which began as "Cackling Rider" but slowly evolved to Kaclain, don't know how. That was back in a mech game called Starsiege. When I joined in eve, I then took the name FireFox, which I continue to use, mostly because it sounded cool at the time. I later used Sedsiss, which was a variation of a name of a Cybrid warform in Starsiege that liked to eat humans.
Done:P

[171]
well, i made up my name about 3 years ago when i was playing starcraft, and i was bored of my old generic name. so i figured timekeepr would work because i always keep a close eye on the time, and id feel lost not being near a reading of the current time. ppl ask me what time it is too. as for dropping the last "e" in my name...it just looks better i think, and take less time to type. it could also be that "timekeeper" was taken, when i made the name 3 years ago.

Rawne Karrde

My name comes from two sources, I wanted to be a business man who precariously balanced himself on the lines of legality. I selected underhanded business practices as my specialty on character completion. So as you might tell i was aiming to play a Talon Karrde type char from Star Wars, who i believe first apeared in the timothy zahn trilogy begining with heir to the empire. Rawne comes from my co-worker who was reading a sci-fi novel at the time, it seemed to look good together so i went with it, have to say i'm quite pleased with my name and have gotten several compliments in local about it.
