The Username 'Lexis' comes from my old Vanilla WoW days where 'Lexis' was my main character, a human rogue. He was eventually remade as a blood elf priest and I kept him around all these years, meaning people have been calling me that for almost 15 years now so that's what I tend to default to as a username. Either that or 'Cerberus', which was another WoW character or mine I played almost as much as Lexis. Both of those names are even older than that though, they actually originated from some old WWE wrestling game and stayed with me since then throughout my gaming journey.

As for my main character's name: Lu'kas Steinfheld. That one has a more recent origin and the character was originally called Lexis Belmont, back when I created him in 2014. I quit the game after a few months and came back to FFXIV with the recent influx of players, at which point I created a new 'Lexis' on Leviathan to play with WoW friends. After getting to 80 and going through the story on that character, I decided to start playing my old main a bit on the side but didn't want to play the exact same character twice, so I bought a name change, used a bottle of fantasia I had lying around and, after lots of fiddling around in the character creator, I landed on this lil' catboy named after a Tabletop RPG character of mine: Lucas Steinfeld. I tried to 'catify' his name a bit only to learn, the very next day, about the actual Miqo'te naming convention and realized I done goofed. I wasn't about to pay for another name change so I decided to keep it as is, especially since it was just an alt. Or so I thought.

Then I discovered the /joy emote, my heart skipped a beat and now little Lu'kas is my forever main.
