    All of my characters have some sort of meaning to me. Jixxie is a derivative of a character I used to play a long time ago in pen and paper game. It was unique and I liked it so much that I have used it in all the MMO's I have played.

    Ever Since I started online gaming I have always used the name Catica. I sure its used somewhere else in the world before I "invented" it. But I made up the name on my own before I heard it elsewhere when I was pregnant with my son. It was when I was trying to come up with baby names, I used to always do a "name game" when I would take off the first letter of a name and then run it through the aphlabet to make other names. For example:

    Jaden, remove the J and run it through the aphlabet you get:

    Aaden
    Baden
    Caden
    Daden
    Eaden
    Faden

    Etc. I used to do this with every name I heard to see if I could find a name I liked better. I remember watching TV one night while I was still pregnant and seeing a movie on called Gatica. The name intriqued me and I started playing the alphabet game with it. I hit C and said Catica and absolutely fell in love with the name. Since I ended up having a boy and couldnt name him that I started using the name for all my roleplaying adventures, which transpired to those online as well. After so many years of using Catica of course everyone I knew just called me Cat. So in every online game I play I try to get the names Catica and Cat. Usually its a ton easier to get Catica than Cat though lol. I have seen a lot more varitations of the name over the years now and seeing the name become more popular which kinda sucks cause I worry more and more now with each new game I play if Ill get my signature name.

    Kargor: my "game name". Many many years ago I was running an online game, and Kargor just used to be my main char there. Just kept the name afterwards.

    Kargor used to be a barbarian, but I'm not playing melee chars anymore --- they tend to depend on gear (expensive) and healers (slows you down). So there hasn't been a playchar "Kargor" for quite a while. Besides, most of my playchars nowadays use the female model.

    Perfect World playchar is currently "Yindra". Too lazy to think about a name; tried Ke'dra first, but it didn't accept the '. I didn't want to reuse a former name, since none of them felt ok for a Venomancer.
    Yindra --- Lvl 64 Venomancer (Sanctuary)
    Getting too grindy by now :-(

    My friend sent me a link to a funny page with cool avatars and stuff and there were name generators where you must put your first and middle name there. I'm pretty Gothic so I tried the Goth Name Generator and my name became Angelic Scars. I started to use it because it sounded cool :3 And I'm never getting any feelings that I should be able to change it x3

    Well, silly reason, actually. Malerium is sort of my "backup" name, used when my original, Discordancy (or Discord) is unavailable (and since it's sort of common, Discord is always taken in PW). It's a spur of the moment cross between malaria and delirium.

    Usually, I play characters that have the 'Male-' prefix in their names (save a few exceptions, in MY-EN and the closed Beta).

    All life is born and lives at the expense of others. Things die to allow others to live by lowering the need for resources or to provide nurishment to the living. All life is therefore supported by the end of all life that existed before it. Scion means a descendent and Death's Scion means one who is decended from Death.
    You will hear unusual things like this if you spend more than 3 minutes with me.

    Well....

    I chose my name because I always felt like my life consisted in the dark, and I was always mysterious, but no matter how hard I tried to run, and find something new, I was always surrounded by the darkness, and thus I keep on running until I find the end.

    Well I choose my name as Aryanna was my IGN in another game and several before that and a big group of us came over. Unfortuanetly Aryanna was gone so I put the Veno behind. Originally? I have used the name for a couple years now and I believe I choose it because I really like the name and it can be shortened easily to just Ary my real name is also quite long with Michelle and with that I just don't like the different nicks. >.< Wanted one which could be shortened easily and I like it. Though that my sister called my new dog Ary.... I never forgive her -.-

    I used Korean Thunda as my name cuz it's a nickname i recieved while on the football team during highschool. Most people just call me KT but hey, don't matter to me none. I always use it as my username and i am called this because one, i am in fact of korean birth, and two, because when i would tackle the other person (in football XD) the noise the collision made supposedly sounded like thunder.

    My name stands for something but i dont think i wanna say, strangely enough it means "voice" in Japanese pronounced "ko-e" (Ko-ei) and i also like to voice my opinions, My real life name means "Ruler of all" its perfect for my ambitious nature.
    I'm not mean I'm just being honest.

    I'm not insensitive, I just don't give a S.H.I.T!
