<--- Huge Star Wars buff

Started with Red Five at the Montreal Virtual World center in 1995. Put a l33t sp34k twist to it in 2000 playing Quake III Arena as {KEA}r3dfiv3. Decided to go with Cozmik R5 when I went cosmic with EVE.

Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.

My real name is Vic, and i've always used InVictus in other MMO's, it fits fantasy and sci-fi themes pretty welll. For the last name...i've learned shorter is just easier to deal with and always loved Battletech.

That, and it kinda sounds cool all run together. :)
LawlSTi
24th Imperial Crusade
Amarr Empire
#83 - 2011-10-06 14:57:10 UTC
Created this character when I bought my 06 Subaru STi. Still own and drive it to this day. Lawl was just something I read on some forum a while ago were some Mustang buttplug came on said something along the lines of "lol, sti's are weak." A lot of my corpmates know that I am a Law Enforcement officer and think my name references the "Law" for whatever reason.

This, and because had I gone with my old Counter-Strike alias, "Cumshot", I would have most likely felt the wrath of the ban hammer. =(

Mine is a play on the term 'video meat' which is what my brother and I called easy-to-kill noobs in the FPS I waas playing at the time.

I wanted something that sounded 'exotic', I'm from the Netherlands (EU) and not really traveled far or much. So I came after some brainstorming on Pak, then some more to the rest. Didn't want to go into the game as darthxxx vaderxxx or something like that :s.

No idea that in some countries 'Pak' means 'uncle'. Was picked up 10 days in the game (while I desperately tried not to get 'lofty scammed') by an asian corp who thought they picked up a fellow asian guy. We had a few laughs when they found out I was not from asia at all.Big smile

Good corp btw, gave me my first +5 implants and lots and lots of good directions.

I thought it would be funny, and fitting what with actually playing as the captain of a ship.

Would probably change it though if I had the opportunity.
Asuka Solo
I N E X T R E M I S
Tactical Narcotics Team
#89 - 2011-10-06 15:29:23 UTC
Combination of two names really:

1) Asuka Langley Sorhu - Neon Genesis Evangelion - sexy & temperamental psycho German teenager with a god complex

2) Han Solo - Star Wars -> scruffy looking nerf herder and outlaw, sporting a ship that can do the Kessel run in 12 parsecs while stroking his own Wookie.

Eve is about Capital ships, WiS, Boobs, PI and Isk!

Anne Arqui = Anarchy, phonetically. I thought it would be a fitting Matar name.

No-one ever noticed it though .. Straight

I named her after the city of Carcosa, which lies on the shore of Lake Hali... it's all part of Robert W. Chambers fictitious play The King in Yellow


Its a great read. Smile

I am named after a character from a book.
Don't spend time trying to figure out what book, however... I haven't published it yet. :D

Amitious Turkey

#99 - 2011-10-06 16:21:57 UTC
I chose Ambitious Turkey because it made me laugh. I was about 12 when I created this character.

But I missed the 'b'.

However, my name is completely unique, and I've flown with it too long to desire a change now :)

Whenever I get shot at in November, the Thanksgiving punchlines roll. Every other month, it's just a turkey shoot.

I like to lick things.

Created the name as part of my 1980 D&D monk character.

He died a lot.

the name sounds like Nug lee die (ugly guy). With the avatar editor, I did justice to his name.
