| Been wondering about some of the names out there, so "if I tell you mine, will you tell me yours?"
NiUserTefnut is named for a character I played in a D&D game (of all things) set in ancient Egypt - he was a priest of Tefnut, the (quite fierce and savage) lioness-headed goddess of moist winds, rain and storms. The name, roughly translated, means "He is imbued with the strength of Tefnut"
So, that was mine, will you tell me yours? |

| The long boring story.... - Spoiler:
Many moon ago, I played in QSD (queen silver dragons) We were in a long grueling round, going for the win. (to give an idea of the length of the round, we won with 12 million power LOL) The round was nicknamed cheatgate, because so many cheats were exposed that round, clans disbanded, warlords left homeless, not pretty. We stood for integrity, and fought the good fight, which took it's toll on everyone. Plus that round several members of our clan had some major life issues happening at the same time (death of family members, major surgeries, ER visits, and one guy was arrested as a suspect to a robbery homicide, then held until the true criminals were apprehended, and other rather major incidents)
As we all hoped the round would soon end, we started planning for the next round. We had a strong and active council who were all pretty exhausted, so we decided the next round would be for fun only, that we would offer leadership to the other members of the clan while the council relaxed for what we thought would be a quick summer round. We decided to go with a beach theme, to match summer season for us northern hemisphere folks, and create new names to match the theme, (many did not want to deal with the current rounds politics, so thought it would be more fun to create totally different persona's) We became 2hot2handle and 2cool2care.
I spent 3 months trying to find a beach name I wanted to live with. I finally stumbled upon the name Astraea. Astraea was a goddess of Justice (which kind of fit my general personality, especially since I was planning on meading out justice in a fun way in the coming round) who rose above the sea in total disgust of the state of mankind to become the constellation of Virgo. She ruled over all 4 seasons (which includes summer LOL) and then I found that the name of a type of seashell is astraea also, it all rolled together for me. At the end of that round, a new rule was implemented that we would have a username, but players could change what name they went by in the game (so that people didn't have to worry about those who held grudges from previous rounds hunting them down). Thus I would remain astraea for lol eternity, unless I make anew account and let this one die. Ack, long and boring, but a bit of LoL history thrown in. | |

| Awesome, I had been wondering what NiUserTefnut meant! My story is short and not all that interesting, Ravenna is the name of the main character in one of the books I'm writing. She is an ancient goddess doomed to walk the Earth with mortals for eternity. I just thought it sounded right for the game.. |

| pustiso means fake teeth. you know, something like you buy from your dentist when your teeth start falling when you grow old :face:
one time i am looking for a name not so serious that if someone read or saw it, they will start laughing coz the name is just too hilarious for a character name. while playing warcraft 3, me and my friends were all serious that we all wanted to win the match. suddenly one of our friends drop his fake teeth while playing at it. we all saw it, silence has filled the room, then suddenly there's a nonstop laughter. to make the situation worse for our friend, we make all our username "pustiso". and after that, i've been using that name for all my accounts. |

| LOL at Pustiso!! I will think of teeth everytime I check the Headquarters! I started playing a fairly rubbish MMORPG called Mostergame which you could either be a Vampire or a Werewolf. After hours of trailing through various (and some were really weird btw) Vampire sites I came across the story of the Leanansidhe and really liked it (watch out NiUserTefnut :P) The Leanansidhe (Lan-awn-shee) is a beautiful female vampire faery. She is said to give inspiration to poets, but the reward for her services is death, or, at best, captivity in her kingdom. She lives under the Irish Sea off the eastern coast of Ireland. Like all vampires, she is a blood-sucker. But rather than drinking the blood of her victims, she collects it in a huge red cauldron which is said to be the source of her beauty and powers of poetic inspiration. This may connect her with the Celtic Crone Goddesses who preside over the great cauldron of life, death, and rebirth. This is the avatar I decided to use for her, I think it's ummm *looks for the right word* haunting. I think the smear on her face is lipstick but I like to think it's blood *evil laugh* |
