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

[KaplanHomahru]

Kaplan is the last name of my favorite super hero, Marvel's Billy Kaplan/ "Wiccan"

In FFXI, my character was Sesshomarusan (I loved InuYasha). My oldest friend's name was Shahn, which I always pronounced "Shawn" and kinda just saw the 2nd 'h' as extra.

When I was trying to think of a last name for XIV, I wanted to bring part of XI with me, so I chopped up sesshomaru, and added an extra 'h' to reference Shahn. He liked it so much he made it his surname as well...then my brother and cousin started and we all became the Homahru Clan!

[Mortechai]

Mortechai: Name that's stuck with me since EQ1 came out @.@;; can't remember why I picked it XD. Hammerhand: Chose that as my last name because when 1.0 launched I wanted to play Pugilist as my main. I also had "Voidwatcher" as my legacy name in SWTOR as homage to the last content I played in FFXI before I quit(After 9 years, bless ; ; ).

Originally thought of it for either part 2 or 3 of the tony hawk games I had on the dreamcast for some random character I was putting together in the editor. Was watching dbz at the time, so the idea of mixed names came from the fusion episodes.

I ended up really liking the name, though, so I just kept it, and used it for my own original character I created.

[Bitty]

My first character in FFXIV was on another persons account as one of her subs. Her name was Bitty Blackthumb (lalafell). Fell in love with the game but couldn't transfer her. I bought my own CE and created an duskwight elezen. I wanted her nickname to be Bitty but I felt it didn't fit her character as a full name. I was a little sad to have to leave her behind so hence, Bittersweet. The whole name of Bittersweet Rhapsody refers to a whole slew of things including a GD reference.

My chocobo is named Giacomo, after a Kentucky Derby winner from 2005. He won it while being listed at 50-1 odds. And people wonder why I spent so many GC seals "Pimping my Ride". How could I not with a namesake like that?

*waves to Noble* Note for the rest of you....if the Coliseum allows spectators you all are going to want to watch him.

Back to original subject, thank you so much OP for creating such a fun thread.

*Wave* I thought you PC died!

It did. When I got it up and running couldn't even run through Grid w/out crashing. I'm sure it will run ARR just fine Hope to see you there my friend!
