[exile]

Exile...After moving from Louisville (where I had lived for nine years of college and medical school and had established many great gaming friends) to Toledo (which I think of as a frozen swamp/wasteland) for my residency in general surgery, I dubbed myself Exile...as in exiled from Louisville.

At least, I have some great gaming (and non-gaming) friends here...and even some of the non-gaming friends are starting to game...and I have a fiance...but Toledo is still a frozen swamp, especially this time of year.

[painandgreed]

I got sick of having to pick different names on all sites so I decided to standardize on one that wouldn't be taken other places. I picked painandgreed because I own the domain painandgreed.com. The reason I own painandgreed.com is because it was a friend's domain that I got my first email address on and I aquired it when he dropped it. The reason for the name painandgreed is a long story which is related to my friend having HIV along with 95% of all other hemophiliacs due to tainted blood products made for hemophiliacs. that would be bad enough but it got worse when it was discovered that the companies that made those blood products knew about the contamination but did the math and figured it would be cheaper to lose what they estimated at 10-15% of their "customers" rather than recall and destroy the product they had. They were wrong and the final tally was around 95% of their customers ended up with tainted product. The orignal site was a place for him to express his anti-corporate feelings on the pain caused by their greed. When he dropped it, I picked it up because my website and the email all my friends had for me were already there.

The name of one of my favorite DnD characters...a necromancer.

 

[Angcuru]

Angcuru is the name of my favorite original character and story hour protagonist. Be amazed at my creativity.

 

[OfRiceAndHen]

I wanted it to be something that people could remember. So I thought of boook titles I liked (I like to read) and came up with "Of Mice and Men" by Steinbeck. However, having a screen name "Of Mice and Men" was a bit too weird for me, so I changed it up a bit, and voila!

 

[Blue_Kryptonite]

Also answered here, but it's polite to refer back, and my postcount is still low.

 

[megamania]

megamania was the name I gave a comicbook character I had. This same character is portrayed in my Storyhour- Strikeforce: Morituri.

Mega= 1000x
Mania= physical and mental release of energy that is often violent

A walking timebomb.

 

[Prince of Happiness]

First it was a name to use when bugging Mechwarrior people with pants names like "Cyberstryke" or "Darquewarryore" but I took it up as a username for my Hotmail address, it stuck and I even get called "Prince of Happiness" or simply "poh" in real life.

Happiness, per Ambrose Bierce, is a pleasurable sensation arising from witnessing the misfortunes of others.

 

[Asmo]

Asmo is short for Asmodean.
Asmodean is a Forsaken in the Wheel of Time books by Robert Jordan.
Not very creative, but I thought it was cool at that time

[Ambrus]

The name of my current D&D character, a gold dragon wyrmling (using the rules from dragon magazine 320), hence the reptilian eye of my avatar. It's hungarian and simply means "immortal".
