"Nyx Netherflame" mostly just came from a really old character I made with a friend a long, long time ago. In the setting we chose to use as a RP basis, back in like... early high school? I made a demon character, since I was still really into demon/angel dichotomy in writing, and settled on naming her Nyx. I never came up with a last name, so when I basically imported the name years later onto this character, who was not originally named this, I made up a last name I figured the character would've chosen.

Of course it comes off really edgy, especially for someone who really enjoys DRK, but at this point it's more sentimentality and I've been dating said friend for the better of a year and some change now. Plus I like the "NN" that comes up with the acronym, and the alliteration.

'course Nyx is generally a woman, but I didn't feel like au'ra really did her justice anyway, and the character who is my main is just an old alt I liked a lot fantasia'd to her. Kinda figured to wait for Viera, since I like the one I made in the benchmark a fair bit, and I wanted a taller female race for a bit that lacked the really awkward proportions of Elezen I just could never get over.
