Out of Pod Experience

My name is a combination of 2 things personal to me.

- Shah: it means "king" in Persian/Farsi, which is my family's ancestry.

- Fluffers: I used to have rather long "poofy" hair that various females loved to play with because it was so "fluffy." After some years (including one too many bar excursions with good buddies) tthe nickname evolved into "Fluffers." The comedian Gabriel Iglesias only cemented this further as I was a rather "big guy" during my late university and post university years.


When I started EVE I wanted to create a "disposable" name for a character that I intended to toss as soon as I learned the mechanics... but the more I learned about EVE the more I realized that there was no such thing as a truly "disposable" character and so there was no incentive to biomass (quite the opposite in fact).

Eventually the name grew on me as I realized that no one takes a person with "Fluffers" in their name seriously... which works wonderfully in PVP.

All hail the King of Fluffiness!!!

Sounds like you have negative wallet bro

Tyra comes from the viking princess and daughter of Harald Bluetooth Tyra of Denmark.
Falco was the second name of my mothers Ukrainian pen friend when she was at high school during the 1960's.

I wanted either Amelia or Aranae - my daughter's names. Obviously neither were available, so I combined the two, mainly because I wanted a single word name.

"Cecilia" is after Simon & Garfunkel.
"Matilda" is after Harry Belafonte.
"Fock" is after what you think.

But I'm a good girl.

Back in the late 90's I was into professional wrestling. So I joined one of them e-mail wrestling leagues, and I wanted a Cool name. Being a geek I always like Darth Vader. So I wanted to use the name Darth, and figured that The Grim Reaper was cool. So I used Darth Reaper.

Then a few years later, I joined a game called Earth and Beyond. And rolled a Progen Warrior. Again I used the name Darth Reaper. A few weeks later I made a Jenqui Explorer alt, so I figured to keep the naming convention, I Was Darth Reaper JE... but the name was too long, so I dropped it to Darth ReaperJE that was STILL too long, so I thought and went well DaReaper could have multiple meanings, so lets do that. Thus DaReaperJE was born.

A few weeks later, I was going to make another alt when they announced the sunset of EnB. I was bumming, but CCP did there first trial for eve, so me a few friends jumped over. Once again, Darth Reaper was made. 1 week into the trial I got hooked on eve, and decided to go but the CD and use that code to activate my trial (little did I know at the time that you can't do this) So I went to the virgin megastore and bought the very last eve retail box. When I got home I tried to use the cd key on Darth's account, but it failed. So I said 'crap.. well.. lets make a new account' and when I was going to pick a name, the first one that poped into my head was DaReaper. After that I transferred darths stuff to da and let the trial expire. A few years later I restarted that account, but as I was attached to da, I bio'd Darth and made my other alt. But that's a different story.

"Matilda" is after Harry Belafonte.
"Cecilia" is after Simon & Garfunkel.
"Fock" is after what you think.

And I'm a good girl, too.

So. "Lumi" is finnish and translates directly to "Snow".

... And no, it was NOT a Game of thrones/R.R. Martin reference. Back at 2007 I didn't know about the books, just chose a name that sounded nice, and the initials happened to be the same as in my IRL name.

But oh well, I guess i'm a bastard now, and I know nothing.

further suggestion that CCP Falcon picked his CCP name based on his job description

I finished watching Ninja Assassin with the Korean actor Rain. ...then followed that up with a serial number to conform to the EVE RP of clones. 6637 rolled off the tongue quiet nicely. all subsequent Rains have been named in serial number order.
