    My name is Latin :) I got it from Graviora Manent which means "greater afflictions are in store" or something like that. o.o

    ...I had a veno named Manent once upon a time, too :D She's long been deleted.

    LOL b:laugh

    But in response to the OP:

    LadyofReal - Namesake of my in-game significant other when we transferred games in '08 to PWI.

    BarbofReal - Spin off of the name I was most known for

    SmexyKitten_ - Pet name that was given to me during a conversation with someone about a year and a half ago; it was not child appropriate, so I altered the name a tad. The underscore was there because SmexyKitten was already taken -_-

    Virulence - Wanted something that wasn't as "cutesy" as the rest of the other ones. It's also a spin off of virulent and viral; and I thought it would it would be different?
    Not motivated enough to make another PWI siggy

    i rmemeber watching it in japanese and wondering how they were gonna censor out certain things. i mean, how could they even pull off Hidan in a kids show?

    They actually animated entire episodes just for the rest of the world totally differently, IIRC. After a certain season, I think 3, they started to censor the original because it was too much work to censor the blood, guts, and gore out of that show... So the poor Japanese fans got nerfed. b:cry Was a shame. And that Anime DID get boring after about season 5... I haven't even seen all of it yet. >_>

    Annalyse, Melosa, Glynneth, Laravell, Sataea, Druissa, Drianne - names I just made up.

    Florafang - because Jewelscalen was taken.

    RubixCube - couldn't think of a good barb name so was looking around the room for ideas. Lava lamp didn't sound barbish so I went with the toy instead.

    Ardene - a store I worked at briefly after university.

    Pickerel - because my assassin is a fish.

    Torchwood - a TV show I was watching at the time.

    Anna_Conda - because I am known as Anna and this just amused me.

    And yes, I know I have a lot of alts.

    Castgurl...

    Cast - Castillo

    gurl - > "girl"

    I picked Castgurl because I just thought it would be a cute and odd name for a mage class (and still be somewhat "tough" or not 100% girly like "Castgirl" would have been..actually the thought of my character having the name Castgirl instead of Castgurl makes me sick lol.)

    About a year ago people would pm me asking if I was wearing a cast irl....lol.

    It was a nickname I came up for myself nearly 6 years ago as an artist/music producer.

    my name is from an old childrens book that i read, about an Apache/Ndee girl who was found by the coach of the University of Arizona track team. he and his team had been coming home from a meet one night, when they almost ran into the girl, running on the road. when one of the team members got out, and essentially had a race with her through the desert, the bark of a fox turned the girl from a leap off a cliff and led her back to the team in the car. one thing led to another, ending with her having become friends with the leader of the team, who used what she learned of how Apache children and young adults are trained in desert survival to toughen the track team. Chosen to go to the Olympics, the team won, thanks to the help of Fox Running, who would have died that night in the desert, had it not been for the caring of a stranger.

    well i originally thought lenestra was the latin word for glass .... turns out its just a brand of lightbulb

    ....lol


    Anyway in the early days of PWI, the first mmo I ever played, I rolled an archer and at 54 decided I needed something new cause I stuffed up all the stats. Everyone at the time needed clerics so I rolled one. Now I realize wizards are referred to as 'mages' more than clerics, but at the time there were references to clerics as mages quite often. So, totally un-originally I came up with Mage....then I was thinking Ill sell myself out and make millions of coins so the MERC stands for mercenary. Needless to say it didnt work out that way cause I levelled very slowly and am broke hahaha.

    For this character it came from the want to use a greek name. Normally this is what I use to show a main compared to an alt or an alt compared to a main.

    For this character I was thinking since it was a BM I wanted to name it based on somethin that would be suitable, so I went with a war god. I also happened to rememeber multiple war gods in the greek age so I decided to take a look through them and found myself to have taking a liking to the name Perses, and when I tried it I was unable to get it just by itself so I added the '_' in the frost and back to allow it to go through.

    As for an example of other characters, my sin named HotBanana was named that from a convo with friends about stripper names (don't ask), and I ended up getting the name HotBanana and out of a joke I made the character a sin as they suggested it mainly. Though I haven't hit 100 on that character it is 4 lvls away from it.

    Another example of my characters is my psychic, named Ambisagrus which is a celtic god of hunting and healing. I liked the name based on the hunting aspect of the god and then I knew that psychic's had a AoE heal called bubble of life and later learned it's sage form acts as a purify skill. So I ended up really liking it, and now that character is 94 so only 6 lvls away from 100.

    My other characters are between 1 and 67 and are not really worth mentioning.
    Nothing worthwhile to mention here, enjoy the animated signature~

    I pretty much knew what was behind the link before I opened it. I bet you speak in rhymes? :D

    Anyways, onto my toons:

    Adolphus, Adolpha - Latin for "noble wolf", male and female versions. My barb's a wolf and I liked the name so my veno got the name, too. Afterwards I realized it could be linked to Adolf but that's not what I was after.
    Aureola - A cleric. I tried to get something close to Aurora or the like. Then I came up with this. According to wikipedia it actually means something.

    Anyndell, Pauric_Swift - Psy and a wiz, respectively. I don't think you people count NWN as competition? That's where these come from as it had a random name generator. Pauric was my awesome sorcerer that made money out of nowhere, too bad his PWI counterpart can't do the same...

    Then there are some random alts such as Aloisius, Agalon, Gerth, Gorbulas that just came out of nowhere. Though I refer to Gorbulas as krapulas, krapula being hangover in my language :D

    And then there's my catshop alt, Felgendiw. I bet no-one can figure out where that came from. (hint, he is a wingedelf cleric

    Since I made a cleric first I wanted a name that was similar to either healing, life, or death. I also wanted to have the name Rose in it since I like roses.

    After a while of thinking(like 2 minutes), I stopped at the word Rosary. It's usually seen around funerals and was easy to manipulate the word Rose into.
