Moogie is \'Moogle\', but cuter. It just so happened that many years ago, when I first saught after an Internet alias, I was hooked on Final Fantasy games. Thus I was known as Mad Moogle.

About a year later I dropped the \"Mad\" and was just Moogle.

Several years after that, I decided Moogie was more original, and more cute.


My other name, who I used to be known on the forums as Mogura, also has its origins in the word \"Moogle\"- since this, in japanese, derives from the two words for \'mole\' and \'bat\', being \'mogura\' and \'koumori\' respectively.

Hmm, Sirvion actually came out by making a name for survivor. Survion sounded stupid, so Sirvion came out
I want to be a flame, to crumble to ash, but never ever burnt.

I want to rise higher, rise up to the heavens, but sink, just sink down deeper and deeper into nothing,

I want to be an angel, a chosen, a devil, but I am just a creature that ever wants what it wont get.

(Hatchnet Dubon)
Hatch\'net is the name of a minor drow character in Salvator\'s \"Homeland\" wich I sometimes use when I can\'t think of a name that has already been taken and Dubon is just a tortured version of Dubroe; Lancalot\'s surname;.

(Japeth Artur)
Japeth just poped into my head when I was trying to come up with a name for an alternate character; knowing me I probably read it somewheres, and Artur is celtic for \"the bear\".

(Faterus Alberto)
Is just a play on the name of my sister\'s cat, Fat Albert, It seemed like a good idea when I was trying to come up with a name for an Enkiduki character.

for quite a while my nick was \'martian kyo\'...actually it still is. Anyway since kyo is obviously a japanese name i wanted to find out what martian is in japanese...it was Kaseijin. Well the reason i used the name for planeshift is the jin part  it reminds me of djinn which is the general bogeyman in arabic cultures. So i already thought of a little story how the kase part is believed to mean slayer in an ancient dwarven language.... making my name something like demonslayer....or something

despite this little story and logic behind my name i live in fear that a GM will one day just change my name.

Phinehas is my general gaming name. When I first started gaming, I flipped through a couple different names, such as Quohog. There was another one, too, but I can\'t remember it. Anyway, since Phinehas already has a slightly mideival sound without being totally limited to that genre, I can use it for any game I play. I originally got it out of the Bible, btw.

Dimaq Emerald

The first name is a bit lame I guess, could be shortened to dq (which looks stylish) but PS insists on proper (argh) capitalization. Anyhow, it is my all-around nickname/account name/etc.

Emerald was a choice based on the fact that I wanted to keep a trace from Molecular Blue days, and wanted to show off my (in-game, ill-gained) riches and the fact that PS/CB didn\'t let me adjust the character colour like MB did and since there was no Klyros back then, I had to settle for a female enkidukai (which is green, thus green crystal,  thus emerald).

A tad too logical eh?

(Taser Rander)

looking for a good name, then remembered taser from wulfram (the awesome mod :D) and i took that as my first name
people can also say that modern \"Taser\" that cops used, was called that cause if your in a fight with me, its gonna sting ;D
Rander just fit as a last name, nice and medival

(Kalara Sulney)
Klyros, tall fish person... hhey the name sounds aquatic.
when making names for Klyros, think of those awesome tall whites d00ds in star wars 2 :P

Not my choice at all, my first day, as I walked across the plaza my name magically changed...never knew who changed it for me, but it caused me to start a new history for my character.
I have to say, I am quite pleased the way she is turning out, and have grown to love her. I did drop the last name though.

Shannath Lobos has no meanings even if the word \"lobos\" means (i think) \"Wolves\" in Spanish.
When i searched for a new name i started with \"Sh\" and then i liked to keep it with the sound \"Th\", the central \"anna\" is because i searched for something easy to remember.
So Sh-anna-Th...
Lobos it\'s, maybe, because i am latin and i liked something sounded latin on my ears, i realized that the word \"Lobos\" is a spanish one but when i created it i didn\'t think about it.

Icefalcon Alkiden...

Icefalcon came from a book I read a long time ago. I can\'t even remember what book it was, but Icefalcon was a character in it. The book wasn\'t that great...

Alkiden... Well, the \"Al\" part came from the WOT books, and I just added some random letters at the end.

Sarrow Rayzek

Sarrow was a resulting in spelling sorrow wrong a long time ago, my friends eventually started to call me by this name aswell. Rayzek became well known for me to say when I am in my stupid mood with my friends, I also used to say it out-loud when one of our home-made dry ice bombs ignited. ;)

Xirius Dolaktisht

Well, Xirius is the name I have used since god only knows when, for any character in any game (from Civ III to Avernum, to Master of Orion III to my Warhammer general) Not sure where it came from, but I just like it...=)

Dolaktisht comes from my novel I am writing (I have high hopes to be the next Tolkien) and in one of the languages I created for it... Dol: meaning \"of\" or \"born of\" and Aktisht: meaning \"shadow\"

So literally, Xirius born of shadow

Anyways, great game, just wish I had a faster mac...

Essa Desgeega

Hmm.  I was not sure about a name, and so I used the random name button.  I must have seen something vaguely like Essa, or something that made me think of it.  I just like the sound of it.
I couldn\'t think of a last name, and so, I used Desgeega.. which is a creature/monster from the Nintendo Metroid series (at least that is the name used in the NES game).  Naughty me. :)  So, I talked to a GM.. and thought of different things then finally came to Ceteeja.  It has a similar sound to it.. so, she is Essa Ceteeja.
