I know, but I didn't feel like getting too much into detail about the Death Factor and the Carbonadium tentacles.

My username comes from Fuhur, a character in Michael Ende's Neverending Story, a book I enjoyed very much (don't start telling me his name was Falkor or whatever, that's from the stupid movie). The short version is tLD. Come to think of it, there's even a shorter version: the tilde ~

Well like I said last time we had this topic lol.

Urbanmonk was my fighting monk in Bard's tale, and kind of a satire of the movie Urban Cowboy, and an imaginary club with some friends and roomates (Celibate in the City

)

I like playing as an assassin in many RPG or action games like Hitman 47. So I adopt my friend's nick 5il3nt a55a55in (quoted from Hitman) and cut out the "silent". I haven't been so 'silent', but I feel I do have some characteristics as an assassin.

You are bald and your name is made from ciphers instead of letters?

Mine is a minor character in a book, and I took it for a nickname when I first joined up at the Quill. I use an anagram of it over at the Ubi boards (which I don't visit very much now), since it was already taken there and I had made the anagram earlier for another reason...

ahhh, no wonder you like aaelgr so much then

as for my nick .... well how boring am I?

i wouldn't actually mind having the surname dropped, for ease of use (if AS minds?? please?) but yeah, it's my name

Anagrams and the likes are fun. I filled one of the maps I made with persons whose names where anagrams or otherwise altered versions of the names of the active Quillers at that time...

Vlad976 · Unread postby **Vlad976** » 04 Oct 2006, 22:37

Vlad - It's the name I used when I played TF Quake.
976 - I needed a number and this popped into my head.
Recalled it as part of the name of an Androsynth ship in the Star Control series: 976-KILL

asandir · Unread postby **asandir** » 05 Oct 2006, 02:54

any start control reference is a good one, but didn't the androsynth ship names contain a random number??

As the in-game story goes, it's supposed to be random numbers and characters. But most people realize that names like 976-KILL, AK-47, and SR 71 aren't exactly random.

Couple months ago, somewhat bald. And that's my codename when I'm needed to do high profile missions, like cleaning the toilet.

Caradoc · Unread postby **Caradoc** » 09 Oct 2006, 16:33

There were several famous Caradocs. The one I would say inspired me to take up the name was the Celtic hero who brought British Christianity to Rome.

When Roman Emperor Claudius ordered his legions to invade Britain in 43 AD, their most formidable foe was the King of Siluria (Wales), Caradoc. A scant four years before the Roman invasion, as a result of persecution, preachers from Jerusalem, Eubulus and Joseph of Arimathea among them, went to Britain preaching a new gospel. Members of the British royal family embraced Christianity as a result of that preaching.

For seven years, Caradoc held off the Roman armies. Never conquered, but most foully betrayed by a kinswoman, he and all his family were carried captive into Rome. There, he stood before the Roman Senate to plead for his life. No woman had ever stood before that tribunal, but Caradoc s daughter, Gladys, just sixteen, bravely stood beside her father as he addressed the Senate. After granting Caradoc clemency, Claudius adopted young Gladys and gave her the name Claudia, after himself, thus sealing an alliance between Britain and Rome. Caradoc remarried to Julia Venissa, daughter of Tiberius. His grandaughter Helena, married the Emperor Constantine.
