[Nightcloak]

Chalk up another poster who uses one of his favorite characters as a name.

 

[Viking Bastard]

I... honestly don't remember.

Well, I'm Icelandic, hench the Viking, and I used to be in this Rat Bastard's club that
was an offshot of this place and I think that's where Bastard part came and uh...

Yeah.

I think someone called me a Viking Bastard sometime and I just liked it.

 

[mythusmage]

Used to be the official rules lawyer for the Dangerous Journeys: Mythus game. Sort of the mage of Mythus. Thus...

 

[greymist]

Another one using a character's name. Of course, I stole the name from Steven Brust's Vlad Taltos novels for my character.

 

[Turanil]

Oh crap! Burn this thread then. What a waste of bandwidth.

No, no, lets go on wit it!

Turanil is the name of a wizard-priest character I did play a few years ago.

 

[Klaus]

My name is Claudio, and my older brother used to call me Klaus.

When I started playing (not GMing) Rolemaster, we all wanted character names that were reminiscent of our real names, so Marcio (Fiorito) was Marcel, our friend Rodrigo was Roderick (a name he used again in MotRD) and Rodrigo's brother Diego was... well, Diego. And I was Klaus.

Then I made up a Ravenloft character named Nikolaus Gunther Nakzinsky, the full name of german actor Klaus Kinski (father of Nastassia Kinski). And said character's nickname was Klaus.

So here be Klaus.

 

[Andrew D. Gable]

Umm, it's my name.

Sado of the Long Knife, leader of the Freedom Guild of Karnali from the World of Lone Wolf game books (Grey Star series).

Aye! On the Tower of the Sun forums, I am known as Gashgiss, who was the Noodnic king in Book #2 of Lone Wolf.

 

[solkan_uk]

Solkan_UK

The name of my first real character (I used to DM for about 4 years before I got to play beyond a couple of one-offs).

A semi-psychotic cleric of fire!

The name itself came from an obscure god in warhammer, mentioned in one of the early novels.

EDIT: UK of course is my country of origin, because when I used the name for yahoo, someone already had Solkan. I think the novel was Zaragoz, btw.
