Well...

Filthy Ike was one of the random names in the character creation cd with the 3.0 PHB for male 1/2Orcs.

My wife and I were discussing what a "Filthy Ike" would be.

We had just seen Moulin Rouge, and the Narcoleptic Argentenian just called out...

HALF-ORC BARD!!

Thus, my first Living Greyhawk character was created for me.

:D

edit: cos I'm a goofus

The Fool was a plot device in a campaign I ran for the party. Generally, he was an immortal with whatever skills and powers I needed him to have at the time.

He would pop in every now and then and drop clues, hints, or sledghammers when needed.

Funny thing is, he worked. They were never quite sure what he was up to when he came by, but were always interested in what he had to say. Funny thing is, they could never get him to tell the same story twice without changing something. Seems he was a bit of a liar.

Since the only name that anyone had for him was 'The Fool', and he never gave them any other name, they eventually named him themselves: Jack (of fools).

Any other GM have a bunch of character's always keep a place at the table setup in case an NPC showed up? All the time?

I was deeply scarred by the first and only evil campaign I have DM'd. Which in 2nd edtion involved not one (Telepath) not two (psychokentic) but THREE (Psychoportation specialist and NPC) Evil halfling psionists. They did naughty things, and ploted to destroy the world.

Afterward I created my first 3rd ed game world, and it was a running joke that all halflings that were encountered were evil psionsts- which is not true! some were evil non psions, and some were non-evil but still psionic. The whole halfling culture is based on the fact that psionics is commonplace. Even as the campaign ended - 4 years later there was a evil undead hafling psionist struggleing for and achieving redemption.

My new campaign world downplays psionics, but is still centered on a stout and hairfoot culture. Only some of whom are evil.

and I know my icon is actually from a Oriental woman on a dragon magazine cover from the early 90's but it still looks like a pissed off halfling to me.
 

Well, I was watching Hackers... and I thought, gee what would I call myself if I was moving in those circle...

gee a math name might be cool. Sine something someething...

no how about tangent like other, and Loci like other place because that's what it is when you route packets through another place it's like your at a 'tangent loci' but I could make a further play on words with Loki like the god of mishcief, that's pretty cool. Tangent Loki as in other god of mischief, it got the thumbs up. the i was signing up for forum accounts and I thought, it's a cool name, when am I even going to use it?

And lo, viola, Tangent Loki was born.
 

People have read (or at least seen) Ivanhoe, right? I picked the name DeBracy when I was signing up to try some online strategy game and it's sorta caught on. I like it... Simple and elegant. ;)
