Dristram

Origins of Dristram
Dristram was my first ever 3E charcter, a Fighter/Rogue. He had three fighting styles. Either two short swords, spiked shield and short sword, or simply the short bow.
I came up with the name Dristram from Tristram, one of King Arthur's knights. And I chose Tristram because I used to have the alternanate form, Tristan, as my personna name as a Landsknecht (German Mercenary) at Renaissance Faires.

Citizen of 2 worlds
First Post
I've lurked here a loong time, and I had to think about a username that fit me a while ago, when I finally decided to post..
I feel kind of like I'm a part of two worlds, and yet still part of neither. In many ways it is easier socially to be either normal hearing, or deaf... But as I'm hard of hearing with knowledge of sign language, I can function reasonably good in both worlds, but not 100% in either.. So my username thus became Citizen of 2 worlds.
Actually, since I took the name, I have started to feel that it is a strength to be able to communicate with both speech and signing, and not just being in a no-mans land socially.
I considered other alternatives.. Initials? M.U.F.F doesnt sound really good.. its a word in english.. bleh.
RPG based? Hmm.. I've mostly DM'ed.. (And not at all the last years) I remembered some names from my first session RPG'ing (a swedish RPG called Drakar & Demoner) - my brother promptly made a character called wrieth (wraith spelled wrong).. And funnily, those characters weren't really good.. stats like 7,9,9,11,10, 13 or something.. Power gaming came later..
No, none of those early game names were much to choose from.. the other player in my first game actually was my father.. his character was Sikatos.. which _also_ was a misspelling..
Hm.. I migh have thought entirely too much about a user name, sonsidering i post so seldom.. ( But here's to posting more in the future.. )

Some call it faith.
I first started using the handle when I needed a username for my new DSL account, because my old (and painfully overused) nickname "zero" was, of course, taken. It was either inspiration or recollection, but if the latter, I have no idea what it came from.

AGGEMAM
First Post
Well, AGGEMAM, pronounced A - GE - MAAAM (3 A's), is danish baby language and means 'is it food'.
The phrase was used in a comic radio series called 'Gramsespektrum' (Snuggle-spectacle) for young adults a number of years ago.
When coming here the first time and being asked for a username it was really the first thing that came to mind.
