When I first was introduced to AD&D by a friend in the early 80's I was reading the Chronicles of Prydain. I really enjoyed the character Prince Gwydion Son of Don. Given my first official character in AD&D was a paladin, Lord Gwydion (and most places now just "Gwydion") was born....
Mine looks kind of like a combination of a binary code, a barcode and "lol" over and over again. Also, it's rarely in use on any other website.... I've had to bastardize it a little in some cases (add either more l's or 0's), but it generally it's the same everywhere. I like the way that it gives no information about me other than that i may possibly be into sci-fi stuff. The fun thing is when i've audibly talked to anyone that only knows me as that "name", listening to them try to pronounce it is always fun... i let them off the hook pretty quickly though.
Or that you are an AI that is using it ironically. :)
Mine is the name of the character that I played for many years at live role-play events such as The Gathering, here in the UK - Callum McLuny, the Orange Mage.
My real name is Adam, however when I was very young we lived next door to Austrian neighbours.
They used to call me little Ardem, It was Adam with an austrian/german inflections. So used it in my first rpg ans stuck with it ever since.
Its my real name, just backwards, i know, im a freaking genius!
I started playing AD&D in high school during lunch back in 1980. Was playing an Elven wizard and needed a name. Looked at my watch and reversed the letter order, thought it sounded appropriate. Have used it as my gamer tag ever since. If the tag has already been taken when starting a new game, I just modify it, such as Lord Xemit.
When my group first started playing Rolemaster, the gm handed us the Silmarillion from Tolkien and we created names from it. Cul means red and Draug means wolf.
