I decided to use a bit of EVE lore when coming up with my name. The Gallente are supposed to be descended from the french; So i took the french variation of my first name Guillaume (William), and then flipped through some of the random last names until i found one that fit.

Unless it's because of this.

I needed to log into TQ one day fairly quickly after having been hired. Had no clue what I was going to name myself and did not really care as I was having fun with the portrait creator and thought the name would probably surface before I finished.

But it didn't, and when I was done I ended up with this. Yup, that's how I looked for the first few months here until I switched my face to this old mug. At any rate the prettier picture there, once completed, reminded me of a comic book character from Dv8 (Wildstorm) called Sublime. But Sublime was already taken, and at that point we didn't all prefix our names with CCP so that was the end of that.

Prism was also taken, first by some trial character that had never logged in and now by a solar system in the Black Rise region. So I slapped an X at the end of my name to be more like this guy. That guy is pretty random but always a solid guy to have around. And here we are!

Astute observers might have noticed a glaring gap in the story between paragraph two and three.
That's because the third one is a blatant lie.
The true story is not very "official CCP Forums" friendly. Lol

Psst... Where do ya live? Blink


Before I hit the "confirm" button for my name I actually thought of that... and I figured it would work to my advantage. Twisted People would be too busy laughing at me to realize that I've scrammed them. And it'd be bruising to the ego. "You got killed by Fluffy dude! FLUFFY!"

And wouldn't you like to know where I live big boy! Blink

I am interested in mythology, especially Greek. And since Lyssa, Erinyes and Maniae were all taken, I was running out of ideas.

This character is named Dulake after the knight Lancerlot the greatest knight of the round table. His full title was Lancerlot Du Lake so i chose the last part. I chose Karn as it was a strong name.

Originally i was going to call this character Karn Doomhammer and then i realised that i was not 14 years old 


I dont normally troll, but when i do i do it on General Discussion.

Because looking at my creation in the character creator reminded me very much of the pharaos of ancient Egypt.

Amun-Ra was the sun god - fitting for a true amarrian!

My real name starts with V.

"Re" is a less common spelling of "Ra", and it sounded better.

Thus, Vamun Re was born.

Can't believe KK left before the final tour. You would think after 40 years he could wait another couple of months to play golf ffs!

Aldan Romar

#60 - 2011-10-06 10:41:46 UTC  |  Edited by: Aldan Romar
Aldan Romar was my first character in the roleplaying game Traveller. I developed him in the mid-nineties, and only played him for a short campaign, but he is my most beloved character of a long (>20 years) roleplaying career.

If you look at the Spinward Marches map towards the trailing border of the Domain of Deneb of the Third Empire you will find the system Romar. Aldan Romar was rolled as an imperial noble (Baron) by birth and I chose a system at random, only to later learn of it's interesting, very Dune-inspired background.

From birth on, Aldan Romar was educated as a leader in the service of his people. Graduating from the Naval Academy and Flight school, he joined the Imperial Marines and served as a flight officer in an Imperial Marines Flight Wing, until he was badly wounded and was honourably discharged.

Thanks for still reading... Big smile

Ten years later my life had gnawed away my hobbies when I discovered EVE, and in a culmination of everything I hold dear, Traveller, Elite, Dune, Battletech, grand Science Fiction settings, marvelleous presentation, I am able to reinterpret my character again - with an EVE universe spin...
