What's the story behind your character's name?

[Lapulapu]

Is it random? does it have personal meaning? What's your story?

[Niqote]

They wouldn't let me have 'Nique' because apparently in another supported language it's a swear word... in my haste to play I unknowingly called myself Niqote the Miqote... dang it!

Possible name change 2.0 pleases me lol

Long story short: Nique Amrita is a long running OC of mine, but Nique is my IRL nickname too ^^

[Zetsubou]

Aeka Masaki (ah-eh-ka), the First Princess of Jurai, from the Tenchi Muyo OVA series. Back in the day, I was a member of the Tenchi Muyo mailing list, hosted by Hitoshi Doi.
My Chocobo is named Ryuuoh, after Aeka's tree/space ship. My path companion is an Elzen named Yosho. My retainers are a Roegadyn named Amagasaki, and a Mi'qote named Mihoshi.
When I played PSO, my char was a Hunewearl named Aeka.
Nutty, I know~~

Mine is original.

[Warlock]

Warlock Warlord the best high rank a Taru could have in the Federation of Windurst, evoking fear and respect.. inspired on the coolest Taru in FFXI
Robel-Akbel ..aka doomed parallel Vanadiel's Karaha-Baruha

The regular Karaha-Baruha character had same blonde hairstyle too
Chose that to not be seen as a name over my head but more what i am (as in my rank)

EDIT: Adding in my Chocobo name which is Bomber my Taru name from FFXI ,small size Taru BLM...a big name for something so small dropping nukes left and right and getting himself killed XD

[Gramul]

German/Romanian for Iron Gram.

[Mikita]

Interesting thread so far and I'm eager to read more responses. ^^

Nothing terribly exciting for my own response though.
My first name is original with no particular meaning or reference. Last name is just something I chose because I decided on Moonkeeper and wanted something to do with the night.
