So much drama, let's be carebears b:victory, and learn a little about each other.

Where did your character's name come from?

Well, I've always used YWE as my character names in other games.

But my first PWI char was a really fail BM, but it was like level 27 and at the time I didn't want to delete it yet. So I took YWE and tried to make a name out of it. I settled on YngWiE, and thus, my name came to fruition

    RisenPhoenix:

    I live in Phoenix, Arizona. The Phoenix has always been my totem animal in my life, a representation of the journeys I have endured throughout my life, in which I soar high, then burn into a raging fire, then emerge from my own ashes.

    I have a tattoo of a a phoenix engulfed in flames located on my left shoulder/neck

    Not to be confused with Icarus, Son of Daedalus, mind you.

    When I was a little kid I took apart an old clock and glued all the little wheels and doohickies on an action man doll then asked my dad to paint it in bronze color (I wasn't exactly normal, lol).Looked pretty cool, like a statue. Made him look like a little mechanic fighting... thing. When I created my BM he look exactly like that toy. So there's the name.

    Well, back in my younger days (AKA, about 7 years ago), I was a HUGE fan of Metal Gear Solid (still am). Anyway, the current MGS game at that time was MGS2: Sons of Liberty. That game introduced the character whose codename was "Raiden", which I already thought was pretty cool. After finishing the game, though, I realized that Raiden was just an all-around badass, and he looked hella cool while doin' it. So that's where my character's last name comes from.

    The first name, Konari, however...is a mystery, even to me. I knew I wanted something Japanese to compliment the "Raiden" for a last name...so I think, and this is just my theory...that I took the parent company of MGS, Konami...swapped a letter to make it seem like more of a "person name" than a "company name", and viola.

    Konari Raiden.

    I wouldn't be able to use the first, because it's was being used already.

    My name comes from my Monk my main on Guild Wars.Who's name is Misty Maiden yes another healing class.I just changed the first name around a bit and it is to honour her being a Monk.

    To Risen Phoenix you must like Nixs.

    To AndromedaB I thought it might have something to do with the tv show Andromeda.

    My name is partly due to the first skill wizards get is a fire skill, and the marilyn manson song 'Dogma'.

    I do get hate pm's for my name, so to make it clear... I'm not an extremist from any religion.

    One of the last games I played before starting PWI was Fallout 3. Since I made a female toon I decided to name it after one of the female characters, but I always mispronounced "Amata" and "Amarta" so I used this instead.

    Come to find out, it's a place in Indonesia :|

    I want to go back to the time when innocence was Natural, getting high meant, on a swing. Drinking meant lemonade. Dad was the only Hero. Love was Mom's hug. Dad's shoulder was the highest place on earth. Worst enemies were siblings.
    Hurts were Bleeding knees. Broken things were only Toys. Goodbyes meant only till tomorrow!

    Life has changed a lot ....
