Character Name [How Did You Come Up With It?]

[Raminax]

Mani (Actually spelled Máni, but the game didn't seem to allow accents) is the personification of the Moon in Norse mythology. I wanted to settle for Mánagarmr (Moon-Hound), the wolf that chases the Moon until the fateful day (Ragnarök) it's devoured and Odin is killed by Fenrir, his bonds loosened. However, Mánagarmr felt a bit too long for a first name. I usually prefer my first names short. Hence Mani.

My surname, Moonchaser, is more or less a logical continuation of the whole wolf-chasing-moon-theme.

Also have an alt named Skoll (y u no Sköll Squeenix) Sunchaser. More or less the same deal as Mánagarmr, except Sköll chases the sun (or rather, the chariot containing the sun).

Kytheren is original and Kenni is from Star Ocean 2, perhaps my most favorite RPG of all time.

I wanted Jessica Rabbit, but I decided to go with a character form a much much worse movie when that was unavailable. (it does have Brad Pitt in it though <3)

[Waliel]

Waliel was something I came up with who knows how many years ago and for Hla I just hit my keyboard with my hands or something. I only remember I made a random surname to use in beta, but I liked it and it kinda stuck.

[Magis]

My first MMO character (besides my Earth and Beyond guy) was Magis (a misspelling of Magus, which was taken or I was just 12) the TaruTaru on FFXI. Later when I joined WoW the name became Magos which I used everywhere. When I started 1.0, I switched it back in honor of the old XI character... but had a terrible last name because I couldn't think of one (Tarkon). With ARR and the free name change I made it more lore friendly; Magis Luagis.

[Dozer]

17 years ago, my first college roommate and I started playing a beta of a game called Subspace. We wanted some set of names that had some sort of connection to each other. While I cannot remember what prompted us to think of it, the two eels from The Little Mermaid came to mind and Flotsam and Jetsam were born (not to be confused with Flotsam and Jetsam, the thrash metal band).

Out of habit and a little homage to history, we still use the names today.

I know I'm quoting myself. But oddly enough, I just ran across this on Kotaku and it made me smile. The late Dr. Leary's work is how I first heard of Neuromancer.

[Argent_Wings]

It was an old AOL screen name. Never contemplated turning it into an OC but apparently even a google search only turns up stuff related to my using it a decade ago so I guess it's semi-original.
