Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?
My nickname is taken in the honour of Aiken Dhream - the hero of the "Pliocene Exiles" series by Julian May. I have a lot of common strains with this product of imagination.

Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?
My current nick stems from my Starcraft BattleNet playing days, where my moniker was TerranCadet. After I ditched Starcraft, I got to know Se4, then Se4 gold, then decided to post here on the shrapnel forums. Since I had to choose a nickname, I decided to reuse my B.Net name, but with the Adet in Cadet dropped, for reasons that have now escaped my mind.

Captain Kwok was the name of the protangonist in a silly space game I made back in high school computer class.

Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?
Mine's quite simple. "Renegade" due to the fact that I like the word, and it fits me quite well, as I usually don't fit in with mainstream society. "13" is the most obvious part of all, its my favorite (and lucky  ) number. Not that I believe in lucky numbers...

Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?
My name is from my most favorite game of all time: Final Fantasy VI. (also called Final Fantasy 3.) This is an RPG I have played over and over, spending many evenings, weekends, and all-nighters playing.
Near the beginning of the game, the main character, Terra, is trying to get away from the Imperial guards sent by the evil empire. She escapes into the mines, but is cornered, and is about to be captured. Then the Moogles come to save the day! Moogles are white furry creatures living in caves and woods. The names of the Moogles are: Mog, Kupek, Kupop, Kumama, Kuku, Kutan, Kupan, Kushu, Kurin, Kuru, and Kamog. The Moogles defeat the guards and Terra is saved.

Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?
Raging Deadstar
It's a combination of two pieces of music.
Raging Speedhorn - British Metal band that was playing on TV when I signed up, this random bit stuck.
Deadstar - A song by British Rock Band Muse that's a favourite of mine.
It fits together well in many ways. Raging Deadstar seems like an oxymoron and ironic, as a deadstar just wouldn't be raging in any sense. Also it just fits well for SEIV.
Usually on RP communities I use the name "Maliki Deadstar" as it makes things easier. (Note: Maliki is not my name, I just like it) |

Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?
Here's an interesting way to play with this thread, do a google search for your name/nick/handle and see if anything interesting shows up.
Cheers! 
btw when I do a 'sensitive' search using quotation marks to narrow down the hits I still get 5 pages of stuff and it is all connected to me "David E. Gervais" I guess that makes me 'almost famous' |

Yeah, but how many of those pages are linking to the Avatar thread? 4.9 pages?  |
