When I was learning Korean our instructor gave us all Korean names. Mine was Yun Cheolsu. However, Korean being a rather difficult language to Romanize, Cheolsu went through about a dozen different spellings before other people online started calling me "Yun of the Unspellable Name." I finally dropped the personal name and just became Yun. Which, by the way, rhymes with "spoon" not with "gun." |

I would, but I forgot who made it. Anyway, since other people are doing it again, mine's taken from the mythological Mesopotamian hero, Gilgamesh. Although I became interested in him in the first place due to Fate/Stay Night, so I tend to associate with that version anyway. |

A "simple child", according to my middle school history teacher, is what you get when a student never strays from the comfort zone and diligently goes about his life without much thought. I don't really know why I remember that to this day, nor do I really know why I continue to use that name to describe myself, it just made an impression on me back then and it still does now. |

I got mine from the Golden Sun move, which you can only get with the Pierrot class. Shitty class, but I still force Jenna to equip that dammed card every time I get it, and since Jenna is my one true love, well... it just kinda... worked... |

Me too, but it's kinda weak... which means that in order to win some boss battles, I have to ditch it. Also, I have this thing where I refuse to give it to anyone else except Jenna, and I need her for her badassedness later in the game, so I never keep it long. ;__; |

As I've said elsewhere, I had a fetish with The Mists of Avalon at the time, and wanted to have a good name for a Druid character in my second game of D&D I ever played. Thus I stole Gwydion from the birthname of both Arthur and Mordred in that book. I created the name "Marandahir" for his Archdruid teacher back then, and then said that after his Master was killed, he took the name as a titular surname in memorium. Marandahir was supposed to resonate with Mithrandir – another name for Gandalf from Lord of the Rings – without being completely obviously a shameless rip. Eventually, I noticed that Marion Zimmer Bradley's books are neopagan shit and have little to do with the original story of Arthur. Interestingly, though, the mythological god Gwydion DOES have thematic overlaps with that of mythological Arthur, so maybe she did the slightest research. As I veered Gwydion away from Nature Hippie Druid|Ranger, he became more and more of a Bard. This was more in-line with the God Gwydion's personality, and I drew my character more from him and his portrayal in the Fourth Branch of the Mabinogi and in the Cad Goddau, or Battle of Trees – an poem attributed to Taliesin the Bard. So the name Gwydion Marandahir stuck, though I lately have been using Marandhir just as much as Marandahir. Many places I use one or the other. My old personal etymology for "Marandahir" was "Maran = Dawn; Dahir = (masculine form) Walker;" thus, He Who Walks At Dawn or Dawnstrider of sorts. This was to tie into both the Mithrandir reference (Grey Pilgrim – the Dawn is often grey, and Pilgrim/Walker/Strider), as well as to my OTHER webname, trueLOTM, which is my AIM, btw. LOTM stands for Lord of the Morning, and is a Wheel of Time reference. Around here, I often go by Gwydd – a real short-form of Gwydion, Mar – shortening of Marandahir, or Gwee – something that members of this forum made up which stuck, or else some permutation of the like (~Gwee-gwee, etc). |

Funny how you're in Mars but Sabre Dance is actually a Venus-alligned Psynergy... |

You'll note how she always gave the class - and the spell - to Jenna. |

Not necessarily. Alex played a role in past Templeverse narratives, if you recall. Raging usurper Vaescent even goes by "The Fallen Angel" (his title) as a parallel to your Angel of Light/Ray of Faith. ^_^ |

Always. [radio edit]ing. Jenna. Seriously. Even if Sheba was all like "Would it be okay if, y'know, I mean, I just sorta wanna try out being a Pierr-", I'd be all like "Imma let you finish, but I just gotta say that if you so much as touch my beloved Jenna's Mysterious Card I will |

Let's just wait and see what happens.

well my name is Stephen, so Steve is just a shortened version of that. Ninja Steve came about as a RL nickname I got for various ninja-based antics. Stevebolt was thought up by Draco a few weeks back when I was trying to decide what to change my name to. Regardless of whether she was serious, I decided I kinda liked it. |

It's gonna be the Draco clones all over again, isn't it. Maybe I should be Pouibolt.
