Hmm talking bout name origins huh? Well I came up mines while looking up latin translations. Virtus = Latin for Hero or a courageous person. Kerensky comes from BattleTech universe better known as Mech Warrior. He's the great leader and founder of 20 Clans who left known space to preserve a better future. Though those clans returned to their old homeland just to wage war and retake it for themselves. I just liked the sound of the name.

Sometimes I'll also use the name "Virtuso" which is latin for a musician. Which I felt really good for me since I'm madly in love with classic orchestra. Sometimes when creating a female character I name it "Virtisa". The added "a" simply is based on the Spanish language where "o" is switched with "a" to signify a female correlation.

If we're gonna talk about names and stuff, mine is pretty simple. I chose my character to be part of the Raptor clan, hence the R before the ' in her forename.
The rest is inherited from her great grandmother. Her last name is inherited from her father, who was a Highlander.

As for her origins, born and raised in Ala Migho until it was invaded (parents were killed during the invasion),
fled to the black shroud and was taken up and raised by the Coeurlclaw gang until she turned 16 and left to find a new home in Gridania. :3

"Moon beams and crystal dreams" is a line I came up with when I was a kid and enjoyed writing songs. That line is the only one I remember from a lullaby I wrote.

As a teenager, I was having trouble coming up with a unique name for an email address. All the fantastical names I came up with off the top of my head were taken, unless I wanted to a random number to the end, which I didn't. Brilliant plan B: go with an acronym. As soon as I came up with that plan, the old lullaby line popped into my head. Being a "cool" teenager, I went with "n" for "and", and thus mbncd was born.

A few years later, full "real" names became big things on websites and I didn't want to give that information to everyone (this was before the days of FaceBook, when people actually cared about personal information staying private) so I decided I needed an alias. I remembered the line that had inspired my main nick and took the last two words from it. Thus, Crystal Dreams became my permanent online alias whenever I couldn't use mbncd.

All of that was a long time ago, though some people still think that Crystal Dreams is a reference to the "the crystal dreams" line in the FFXIV prophecy/advertising/etc. It was mine first ;P

Happy Friday, SGD.

Vergil Renata = "Staff-Bearer Reborn". I'm a man in a woman's body IRL. lol
I would've had the first name as "Vergiliaux" to sort of follow Elezen naming conventions, but there will be confusion and typos. Lots of them.
