With gunfire.

You'd know too much.

Your story makes me glad I've never met any of you in RL. /jk

My story however was rather generic.

I knew long before hand that it would be disaster if I met any of you anywhere else (except for some random person).

Or maybe not. All I know is that if there was an 8-bit fan convention then the weird would be so thick you could cut it with a Chocobo. There isn't one, right?

Well there is now. There are t-shirts and everything.

My name? Hell, I'm not even sure. I think it might have something to do with philosophy or dragons. Or both?

**McTahr** · 04-18-2010, 11:43 PM

Effectively, McTahr is one of two RP characters I've created.

Ginkel McTahr, an apeshit loco gnome psionicist who's prone to screaming and freaking out and teleporting his minions inside a cake on his birthday because the architecture (Yes, of the cake) reminded him of the ancient ruins he teleports around seeking to this day. Unfortunately, he teleports them all at once of course, and they explode, but that's not his problem. And so on. Every. Single. Day. (He's fun to play.)

McTahr Len, a...still slightly insane philandering sage.

My username story is boring.

But your username is exciting! I actually like that it brings to mind a color-spectrum of mages.

Jagos · 04-18-2010, 11:56 PM

I played RaiRO. I made up a paladin made Jagos.

Before this it was JC123. I think Jagos works better.

RickZarber · 04-19-2010, 12:25 AM

Rick Zarber was a character I created/played in 1997 for our first (and to date, only) feature-length movie. When we first got the internet in my house a few years later I used it as my email address and AIM screen name. I just sort of stuck with it ever since, and "RickZarber" has become my persona for everything I do online.

I was high on The Invisibles after reading it for about the fifth time and changing my entire way of thinking for the second time. So there's that.

The last book of the series is called The Invisible Kingdom, so it was a short step to make myself royalty. Royalty with invisible, nonexistent power. Seemed like a funny idea. I suppose I wanted to be a soapbox for Invisiblism. I used to have a blank avatar and a signature that said something along the lines of "Close your eyes and see me." No wait, it was "You have read a post by the Invisible Queen. Now open your eyes and go back to sleep."

How ironic that most of my posts went unnoticed until I decided to be myself instead.

Anyway, you could call me Jenny if you want to be more personable. I never liked the IQ abbreviation, it makes me look like an intellectualist.

I believe I've told this story before, but here we go again.

Way back in those dark days, an age were words were just beginning to form, numbers were confused with letters and wild battle.nets roamed free.

I was but a wee lad of 12, exposed to the full wild glory of the internets for the first time after escaping the dark dungeons of AOL. I'm ashamed to admit it but I was overwhelmed by the freedom, my feeble senses were not prepared to absorb that much stimuli at the same time. It was in this state I began to idolize the concept of hackers, to me they were the wizards of the digital world. Breaking not just the rules of society, but the fundamental laws of (digital) nature.

And so the concept of 'Hack Mage' was born, a sorcerer of nearly unlimited power in the digital landscape, ready to destroy any barriers that stood in his way. Of course it was the dark days of 'leet speak' the 'Hack Mage' became 'h4x.m4g3'.

And thus my tale began.

Lyaer · 04-19-2010, 01:25 AM

I was leaving a chat room and somebody said "lyaer" at me. They meant "later." My first thought was that it sounded like an elf name from some cheesy fanfiction about elfs (and if you type it in Google you will probably find some) so I put it on and it stuck.

Before that I was Mr. McMooo, which like three of you might recognize. That came from being put on the spot to name an e-mail address when I was thirteen and liked alliteration too much. I used that name back and forth with Lyaer for a while, but decided to phase it out. I think I still am on some messengers, though.
