What's the story behind your name?

[Vyrerus]

For my main's name, it was just me wanting to keep a name that starts with V that seemed to go well with Zvahl. In FFXI, Zvahl was the Shadowlord's castle, and I used to farm most of my gil from there, even after they nerfed gil gains from NPCable items dropped by the demons. It's a castle full of demons.

As for my forum name, it's been my yahoo email handle since I was 11 years old. I used it in 2002~2003 for my now defunct Runescape character. In FFXI in late 03/early 04 I shortened it to Vyre. Vyre Zvahl didn't seem right to me, and I couldn't get any of the Midlander models to look acceptably like my FFXI Hume, so I went with reimagining with a name alteration. Though I would later create an alt that nearly overshadowed my main, many times, named Vyre Vahzl, Vahzl being the word for the Teleport Crystal of Xarcabard, where the Shadowlord's Castle Zvahl is located.

In recent years, apparently some popular streaming girl stole a bunch of FFXI names, and I've been approached by fans of hers before, them claiming I must be a big fan too. Nope. Didn't even know she existed until it was brought up.

Also sometime in the last decade, Runescape made some sort of bat demon creature called Vyres and introduced the Vyrewatch. I would sue them if I had any kind of copyright claim to my name, but I don't.

And I've also met some people who think I'm into some black metal band that came out in the late 2000s/2010s called VYRE but I think one of the letters is a rune? I listened to some of their music, it's not for me.

[VelKallor]

A character from Star Trek, Keev Fallor, a Bajoran...so I made some changes and..voila, Vel Kallor.

[LineageRazor]

Lineage Razor is an anagram of my real-life first and last names, tailored to be lore-friendly for Hellsguard Rogadyn naming conventions (my original race).

Nothing to do with the Lineage games!

[AnotherPerson]

I wanted the name that fits for a wolf/tiger, doubles as a legitimate sounding name when I am greeted by NPCs, but also works as a play on words so it can be taken as a joke when people read it carefully.

[LyraMaru]

Salia is one of my favourite characters out of the game I'll always be in love. Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time. Her name was changed because of localization and in english it's Saria. Maru is a combination of the two first letters of my two cats names.

Oh and my forum name Lyra is because of Lyra Silvertongue - His Dark Materials.

[Linadae]

So, Dracyn was a name I created using two syllables that looked and sounded nice. It was originally for an alt character on SWTOR. Then I quit and moved to FFXIV. I liked the name so much that I decided to use it again just with a different last name.

I picked Navarre because it’s the last name of the main character from one of my favorite movies, Ladyhawke.

[Mahoukenshi]

My first character was purely chosen from the name generator: Altani Qestir. From all the first names, I liked Altani the most.
My second character is a blatant reference to the Trails of Cold Steel series: Altina Schwarzer (even the choice as a Viera might be a slight attribute to that lol). Had even a few tells who noticed it right away .

[Xeltoris]

Honestly, I can't tell you where this last name came from. The first name mostly comes from liking Anna as a name (used for a lot of different games), but the last name was... not random, but sort of picked from a list of other names I've used because I felt like it would fit as a last name.

[Berkilak]

Raen have Japanese-esque names. Kawa shares a similar meaning to my actual surname, whereas Tokugawa was my favourite faction in a certain Total War.
