Now I have to install and play Morrowind again. Your Vivec avatar has already been teasing me for a while now.

I wanted something that was totally ridiculous yet had a nice sound to it.  Thus...

UnholyRolyPoly

And I've never had a problem getting that name on any game... any site... anywhere. 

For those of you who don't know a "RolyPoly" is a harmless insect that when picked up tends to curl into a cute little ball and protect itself.

My real name starts with a T, as a kid I wrote down Teeh as an account name. That often proved to short, so I added Sgt in front of it. Military ranks are cool when you're 12. Used that name for ages, until in cRPG I went on to make a second character and I decided to add a t and call myself Teeth. 2h felt a lot easier so I ended up only playing my Teeth character. Also got rid of the military rank at some point as my older self could no longer describe it as cool. So I ended up with Teeth.

I'm phasing Teeth out for Franzibald though, which I really like as a name. I decided to call a character Archibald once, because its such a dumb name. Then I made Franzibald, not sure where that came from. Still not entirely sure if it's an actual name or not.

teeth isn't a bad nickname.

franzibald makes you sound like a homosexual belgian.

I've always been big into roleplaying games (the multiplayer story writing kind, not the mmo grind pigs kind) and on a MUD I played way back when, one of the rules were your name had to sound like a fantasy name and it had to be unique.  As in, not get more than 3 pages on google unique.

10 years later 'Kaelaen' is far more than 10 pages regarding hits, and I'm pretty sure I now share the name with an Indian man, like 3-4 different girls, and 2 other dudes I don't know.

Harpag is an acronym for Harpagan. The word "Harpagan" is used in Polish colloquial language to define someone who is impulsive, strong and forceful, and at the same time acts like a madman. The word comes from Greek (fu Panos) harpago-, harpag-, meaning “a hook for seizing; a robbery, rape, seizure, plunder” or Latin: "seize, snatch, plunder; grappling hook, drag; seizure, robbery, rapine, booty; ravish". According to some dictionaries, just greedy, predatory person, but I think it's just funy synonym for fucking bastard which in my opinion really fits the game and whole community  :mrgreen:

Flipped open a dictionary and the first "T" word I got was "turmoil." I don't think I have to explain the "Tom" part.

And thus, TurmoilTom came to be.

To this very day, it still sounds really cheesy to me, but every time I mention to my friend that I'm thinking about changing it he tells me that it's awesome and that I should keep it.
