Greenstone
Greenstone is the fairy-tale like fantasy island I create for my kids' first foray into role-playing (starts this year).
It's a combination of my own surname, Green, and that of a friend of mine, Stone, who helped me create the simple boardgame that serves as an intro to the Greenstone campaign. (Think TSR's "Dungeon" and how that tied in with D&D).
The wizard I chose for my pic is the island's Gandalf/Elminster-type NPC, and is called Caen (pronounced like Cain). His name is a contraction of my own name, CArl greEN). All of the art used in Greenstone is Elmore's - it just conveys the fairy-tale, slightly "cute" mood so well.

Oh, and we decided that the isle was named Greenstone after the huge, moss-covered rock where Dwarves, Elves and Men signed the pact that lead to the defeat of the Witch-Queen... .

Most of my friends know me as skippy than know me as Robert. The original reason for it was the fact that everybody knows somebody named Robert (I have a whole rant I once wrote about Robert-Americans and how we are large enough minority to demand special treatment, if we would only vote as a block), so, using the old joke about the evil twin, I became "skippy Rob".
As a dealer at cons, I found that people could remember not only me, but also the name skippy Rob, and it made for a great introductions: "Hi, I'm skippy Rob. I am my own evil twin...saves on clothing costs." If I got a giggle or a smile from this bit of sillieness, I usually made a sale also.
In my SCA household, there was another Robert, who became the Good Twin, and I mostly dropped the Rob, becoming skippy the Evil Twin. To further distinguish myself from any other Skippys (such as a TV character), I dropped the cap 'S', joking that I couldn't afford the Capital Gains taxes.
Since I am pagan, proud of this fact, and very much out of the broom closet, when I first got an email address, I realized that skippy_the_witch was easy to remember for both me and others. Thus, my screen name.

I have already posted the origin of my name a character played by someone else in a game I ran. A 2ed evil psionic halfling. So this post is follow up NPC evil psionic halflings and their stories. He was in my last 2 ed campagin. Since 3.0 there has been an evil psionic 1/2ling NPC in every game.
T.S. (The Shrew) - psion/thief worked with a 12yr old royal necromancer. worst crime - tax collection, and embeslement.
Wolf - Fighter/Thief - (okay not a psion). Worst crime - took false vows to join and eilte knighthood, so he could help PC's - not all evil works against you.
Alberon Mindstealer - telepath. Worst crime, abandoning his body with a 3.0 mind switch, living in a rat while trying to find a vacant body. Eventually giving into temptation and taking over a retarded human. Accidentally creaed a psionic monster that killed 10 villagers, several guards - serial killer style.
Belt Dabbo - Nomad/Elocater cursed to live as deathless until atonment. Worst crime killing and eating his compaions (with encouragement by a succubus)
the Mossfoot clan (PbP) - abusive father, cruel thug brother, psycic/looney mom

Jimbo is my name, and "THE BLACK" is a title , like Conan the barbarian.Probably because I like to dress in black, and because I like Macabre art style like Brom and Larry Macdougle.

Official (paid) rules lawyer for the Mythus fantasy RPG. Sort of the mage of Mythus. Thus, Mythusmage.
BTW, it is one word.
The "Demiurge of Califia" is a play on a Mythus fan who would describe himself as the "Demiurge of Vargaard" (our North America).
