'Origin' of Your User Name

[DM with a vengence]

Well, I used to be Pathetic Nerd, but then I decided that I wasn't so pathetic anymore.

Right after I killed 12 characters in 25 pages of RttToEE.

And 12 of those pages were exposition and the town of Homlet.

 

[Khorod]

Needed yahoo name. Tried all my longstanding aliases. All required crazy numbers. So I pulled out the list of my then current D&D project, the pantheon of gods.

Khorod is the God of War in a world that never got used. He was balanced- representing all aspects of war, from the noble glory to the horrific destruction.

I prefer to think of it as a devil's advocate sort of thing.
And nowhere is it used...

[pogre]

What's in a name?

My handle comes from my college football days. I played Offensive Guard - it's a combination of my last name and appearance:

***Ogre +
***Pogue =
***pogre

 

[Inez Hull]

Inez Hull is the name of a real person only misspelt that I came across and thought would be a cool character name. It became my handle for Diablo and I have used it for CRPG's and the net since. It was between that and Augustus Pusic, another real name which I thought sounded cool.

 

[Sidran]

I shant bore you with the reasons why I Sidran was given this name that I carry here to this day but once long ago I was Archmage Sidran, a Wandering talespinner by trade, and a dabbler in the magical arts ( I say dabble in the same way Master Elminster "Dabbles", or the Famed Merlin who by chance was actually not a magi by trade at all)

Now though I seemed to have fallen on darker days, my eyes give out on me at the most inopportune of times (I.E. 2:00 AM),
I no longer carry the heavy burden of the honorific Archmage, for my magic has fled me. In younger years, yes I now before the dinosaurs were fossels, I was Sidranais D'preioux a some one infamous swashbuckler, and rabblerouser in my home state of Avyronne.

Oh I seemed to have rambled...

OOC:

Sidranais was the first NPC I played an really played well as a DM
Over the Ages Sidranais has "Commonized" his name to the Short of Sidran, though in kindoms such as Naul ( A rome like state) he is Known as Dux Sidranius, and In Elustre, The Silver City he is known As Sidarinais. When he Signs a letter it is as

Sidran of Torringall (though Torringal has not existed in the world since the last part of the Last Age, some two thousand years ago)

I have also been known to post as Volo, and My Email is Sid7e

 

[Paul_Klein]

My parents had sex, later I popped out, and they named me Paul.

My dad's last name is Klein.

 

[EverSoar]

Well my inspiration came from Sara Douglas's Battleaxe, and wayfarer redemption series. I thought my name was original, but it turns out, its actually in the books

 

[Allanon]

Allanon, the druid character from the first 4 shannara books (although he comes back sorta in the following series).
The books are good, while you're waiting for Robert Jordan, G.R.R. Martin and such to finish their running series.

 

[Pseudonym]

All the other names were taken.

Seriously.

 

[Celtavian]

Re

One of my favorite characters. A half-elven wizard/cleric/fighter (2nd ed) who dared the halls of Undermountain.

This character did not suffer a point of damage until 12th level, not a single point, and was finally struck unconcious in the final encounter from a trap.

This character did not hide. He actually was quite helpful to the party as a whole, and turned the tide of battle in our favor quite a few times. He never did engage in melee though, which was a testament to his skill as a wizard. It was a combination of luck, cautious (not cowardly) play, excellent choice of spell combinations and good timing when casting spells.

This character was my most enjoyable to date.
