Well, about my name, Tarquinius was one of the more unremarkable cesars of ancient Rome. He had a cool name though and so I used it for a PnP RPG character. As it turned out this character became my most played char ever.

There are versions of him (and some of his brothers) in almost every RPG I've ever played. A little bit like Moorcocks eternal hero Elric. As I started playing EQ, Tarquinn of course made his appearance in Norrath.

And then I started using this name for almost everything I did online. If you enter Tarquinn in Google you will find me like ten times on the first three pages.

Also: Tarquinn wins the race!

(Insert Grand Old story of ECPs name evolution)*

And thats the story

*I was playing half-life and its various mods, a lan of counter-strike if I remember correctly and it was 3 on 1, me being the one. Not only 3 on 1, but 3 of the better players in town and in the somewhat known FjP clan.

Anyway, It was the italy map in beta 5 or something, and I decided I would sit in my base and think up a new name, since Shotgun_Jockey was a terrible name and I shouldnt use a shotgun against 3 of the best players in town and definatly the 3 best in the store.

Anyway, I was a fan of fantasy and wanted a name that was Elf like. So I changed my name to Elf with a y, Elfy. Yes, an arabian glue company.

I got a message on ICQ one day asking if I was affiliated with it.

Elfy was turned into my nickname at the local cardstore/net cafe and I didnt like that.

So I changed my name to various phrases involving elves.

Like, The Drunken Elf

Or Cracked Up Elf.

And a short lived stint as "The Blinking Squirrel" A naming gift that I use to this day to give newbies memorable online FPS names. Power Hungry Pancake. The venerable cheesecake. Give me Victory or Give me a Lapdance either way Ill pay you. That kind of thing.

One day I was playing my friend dwayne against his avatar deck, and he laid down the card Elvish Piper. I was amazed, it did amazing things. I was a newbie and a card that promised free 8/8's at instant speed was like love at first sight.

I had to be edgy though, so I added in a drug reference

And thus the "Elvish Crack Piper" was born!

My nickname on a thousand chatrooms.

Famed for my humor on every site I go to except this one This bored has much funnier people than I.

My name is unique!

Thats probably what I love most about my name, no one else has it.

Miolnir is a deliberate mis-spelling of Mjolnir.

Byrnie is a name that my Geometry teacher called me last year to avoid confusion, having two Nicks sitting in close proximity to each other and all. Byrnes is my last name...so yeah.

My first name on here (Mad Psycho) was just something Monica made up one day when we were sitting in my office, then I changed it to Miss Amber B. Everytime I changed my name, I did it because of an musical influence I suppose. Like Miss Amber B. was my version of Miss Tairrie B. Then went to plain Amber. But that got old. Then Agent A was after Tsunami Bomb's Agent M, but I kinda stuck because I want to be an agent one day because it sounds cool.

Lyinar Ka`Bael thought about the meaning of life:
Ironically she wasn't with Deth originally in RP. It sprang up from the RP here, and bled over to EQ. In EQ she was with a fellow wood elf my friend played.

---

That's right, boys and girls, Deth stole someone else's girlfriend and made an honest woman out of her

This isn't actually my first account. I had another one with a VERY old nick I used to use everywhere. Then I made this account, lost the first one's contact info (this one is about four months younger than the other or something, so it's not like I have a long lost neon green account out there or anything), and have been using it ever since.

Technically Deth's first name is Jadethissar, but that looks like ass, plus everyone initially assumes it's Jay-Deth-iss-arr in pronunciation with that spelling (it's jah-DETH), so I broke it up into Ja`Deth Issar Ka`Bael (had to use ` rather than ' because at the time the code didn't let you use ' but now I think it does), which works because now it has sort of a lyrical beat to it. (jah-DETH iss-AHR ka-BAYL)

Contrary to what some people seem to think, Ja'Deth's name has nothing to do with Death or the act of Dying. His full elven name means "Staff, the Eternal Seeker, Dragon Guardian" which was a name his father gave him (more on that in a moment). Candace (Lyinar) and I were RPing in a D&D game I played Deth in, and I just got in the habit of defaulting to this nick (my old default was Lyinar's character Talera's husband Trevor).

Deth is one of three triplets; Jania (JAY-nee-ah), Jayzon (JAY-zahn), and Ja'Deth (jah-DETH; Deth just has to be different). Originally, Jay was foretold to be some powerful arcanist, Jan more or less went her own way from childhood, and Deth the rascal was sent off to a monastery to rein in his mischevious behavior (hence the "Staff" in his name).

It didn't work out. Jay had neither the interest nor the inclination to be an arcanist, and ended up a ranger. Jania became a cleric-ranger of the Faerunian (human) goddess Mielikki, and Deth (after causing mischief within the monastic order he'd been sent to) was brought home. Deth had the inclination and the interest to be an arcanist, so he started training in earnest. Years later, Deth and Jay played a prank on Jan at a royal function, she retaliated, and all three of them got exiled back to Faerun, where they became embroiled in a larger plot that, in the end, landed Deth and Jay (along with their cronies Ah'Kiam and Vlon'uit) in Norrath.

Mostly I play Deth because Deth is a comfortable idealized version of myself if I were a fantasy character; Smart, charismatic, funny, very eccentric, handsome and slim (I did say IDEALIZED). Of course, Deth and I do have significant differences; Deth was a womanizer who got a lot of action in the past before settling down with his ideal woman, whereas I was a bit more normal in my exploits with the opposite sex. Deth's also a bit more free with his morality and ethics; he's Lawful Good (bordering on Neutral Good), but if he had to describe himself he'd say he's "Lawful Good with the personality of someone more interesting" whereas I'd probably categorize myself as Neutral Good with leanings towards Lawful Neutral.

So Deth is, in the end, like most character avatars in that he's just an idealized form of me.

Nae had this to say about Captain Planet:
My character in EQ was named Illanae. It was just a name I made up and thought it sounded "Elfie".

Most of my other characters had "Nae" in them somehow, so people started calling me Nae or NaeNae.

I decided to make it easy and just changed my name to Nae... since Illanae no longer exists.

also keeps people from making the mistake I did early on; calling you "Ill"

Yeah, I didn't like being "Ill".

I never pronounced Illanae in a way that would make "Ill" be an accepted shortening of the name. I say it, Ih-lah-nae.

Alas, the Paladin Elf is no more.

Let me add to this..

My EQ characters were Illanae, Naelli, Insannae, Naeziilla, Darlinae, Danae, and my only one without "nae" in her name was Illilliae. We called her Barcode.

So it was just easier for people to call me Nae, since that would work for most of my characters.

Palindromes are words, or phrases, that are spelled exactly the same backwards as they are forwards.
