    For my first name I was inspired by the movie cartoon "Flight of Dragons" from the 80s. In it there is a good green dragon called Gorbash. I've always liked the name "Gorbash", but I've also preferred "Korbash", "Gorbash" but with a "K" instead. And Korbash is a name I've used in games and MMOs. Korbash has a dragon tattoo on his face in homage to Gorbash the dragon. I LOVE dragons.

    For his last name, at first, it was Zhan. When I made my character in the closed beta, and at launch, I could not play the job I wanted, Summoner, and the sole casting DPS job available was Black Mage, so I landed in Ul' Dah with no Elezen NPCs in the area. I was completely unaware that, lore wise, all Elezens have French names. So I decided to change the last name to something French, while keeping Korbash as first name. The thing is, French is my mother language, I've read most everything translated in French,; I also studied French Literature and Cinema in College. I decided to use a last name from "Lord of the Rings" by Tolkien. When Frodo leaves the Shire he takes another last name, "Underhill", and in French, "Underhill" is "Soucolline". I think "Soucolline" look and sound so pretty, and it makes a really nice last name.
