Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?
My name coems from the massive back history files provided in Mechwarriors 2, which unfortunatley will not work on my computer. I believe he was a high ranking general in one of the Inner Sphere houses...

Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?
Ah, the Norwegian in me loves to hear you say that. I've been told that the root of my real life first name (Tyrel) is that of the Scandinavian god of battle (Tyr). You're into mythology, is that true??
Norwegians unite!! (What the hell, even though I'm only 1/4 Norwegian, that still counts doesn't it??  )

Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?
Very big into Mythology, Egyptian being a personal favourite. I'm also into Ancient History that goes alongside mythology.
I'm currently working towards A-Levels in Archaeology, and then possibly a degree with a specialisation in Egyptology. That would be a perfect job for me, of course I'll most likely be in my late 20's before I Reach that far  |

I've got your back.... I'm also 1/4 Norwegian! Not all that into European mythology...
Anyhow, my handle comes from my other hobby: Warhammer 40k, a miniature battles wargame set in the future. I wound up selecting as my army the Emperor's Children, and then after that began using that in their forums. I've used the name ever since.

Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?
I found ankh(angk)in the dictionary.
Egyptian cross with loop at top: a symbol consisting of a cross with a loop for the top extension and a short crossbar, used in ancient Egypt to signify life.
Anyway, great stories. Narf has the oddest by far! Just strange. But a good story nevertheless.
