My forum name is my Capoeira nickname, Brazilian slang for treecat or jaguar, because I climb trees. I don't feel like naming much of my current characters names since I'm not all that great at this game despite playing on and off occasionally for years and have little PvP experience though I'm managing a few kills during server wars lately. People I've PM'd know some of my chars anyway though. So I'll name and explain past char names from OSI and stuff and a couple chars on here:
Kurgan (Hokuto), swordsman warrior with lumberjacking, before days of chiv/necro (name of the bad guy from movie Highlander) - my first char ever
Samhain's Herald, archer drow on some shard - named for Celtic holiday(Celtic New Year's in October) that's better known modified into Halloween, variety of spellings, none of them actually pronounced like Sam hain.
Ymir (Norse original god from which all were spawned, a frost giant)
Hol Horse (Great Lakes), tamer bard mage (character from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure)
Lloth's Piper - tamer bard mage I haven't done much with on this shard. Named for some god of drows/stealthy dark elves from some god wars MUD (text-based Multi-user dungeon, like Ultima without visuals)
Proserpine (Great Lakes), rogue - from Dante's Inferno, I think Queen of Hell, wife of Jupiter? Not to be confused with any Proserpine on Demise. That's not me.
Danzez with Oomies (Orc character I haven't done anything with but store skills on)
Mr. T (Hokuto)- bard mage wearing leather armor dyed blue to look like denim (note: in real life I wear black, brown, and even green jeans, and for work blueish/greenish jeans, but I never wear blue jeans)
Dio (Hokuto) - blacksmith crafter mule named after Jojo's Bizarre Adventure char years back, but in more recent years after quitting OSI got to hear Ronnie James Dio's music who he's named after. Awesome stuff with or without Black Sabbath. R.I.P.
Asswakcrakhammer (Chesapeake)- axer warrior chick with mohawk, remade her on this shard but after something like 2.5 years she suddenly got renamed to Generic Player though I've since renamed her to something else very original
Shaft (Hokuto) - archer fencer fisherman speaking Pirate ebonics. Argh yo... There be buried treasure here. Can you dig it?
Ridiculous names with no explanation:
Spleen Muncher (Greak Lakes), junk character trying to get all skills under 30
Tumor Gnawler (Napa Valley), macer warrior (had a Hunewearl char on Phantasy Star Online on Dreamcast named Tumor Biter)
Von Skankenhelm - rogue
If anyone sees any of the OSI chars, that might be some yuppy douchebag I gave my account to who actually pays EA for multiple accounts, possibly three last I heard
