EVE General Discussion

Years before I used to write fiction, it's the name of a character I wrote about. Seemed appropriate.

I think Korean is awesome and Shingihada apparently means something like "That's so cool" (but I can't verify it, but either way I think it's cool). And Rubik is just because the Rubiks Cube is awesome.

Do i even have to tell it? The name is as obvious as it is. :P (Only my portrait doesnt look like him at all.)

Because she is hot and I've had a crush on her since the tv series Dark Angel back in 2003 or so

The first character I created was an Intaki male.
After a month of training and reading the forums I realized that having the lowest perception is very bad on long term so I created a new account with an Achura.

I wanted to have an Asian sounding name based on a non Asian name.
Since Jolan is a funny sounding rare female name this is what it has become.

Everyone calls me John on vent tho.

Btw original stats with 3 charisma is so good I still haven't remapped it.

Named after Saint Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuits, Templars were common and douchebags, Jesuits are much cooler IMO and they still exist as an order.

~and~

after Admiral Samuel Hood, 1st Viscount Hood, a mentor to Horatio Nelson (I love age of sail naval history, the entire Hood family and Nelson were hugely influencial and show up alot in British naval history. You can't discuss the British Navy without someone bringing them and Jackie Fisher up.)

I all capped it becuase I'm a moron

All my alts are named after Dragonlance chromatic dragons of ill repute as a nod to my childhood reading habits

After a month of playing I came to the conclusion that THIS is who I wanted to be in EVE, name says it all. I'm filthy with ISK after 6 months, I don't fight other Real Players, And I actually seem to 'Care' about the game. And can I take a moment to say how great it is to NOT be playing with pre-pubescents anymore! EVE is an Adults game, sure some people act childish occasionally, but those real children are off playing some other game. I have not yet met anybody under 30 playing EVE.

Back in the days of Asheron's Call I was going by "Macabre" and "Sovereign" which I eventually realized was used by everybody and their dog, so I decided to make up a truly original name that I could not find in any use or in any known dictionary.

The result was "Vertiscent". I went by this name for many years and around the time I started playing EvE I decided to shorten it a bit down to "Vertisce" and completely ignored the fact that it looks like a misspelling of the word "Vertice".

"Soritenshi" is simply as close as I could find to the word "Archangel" in Japanese.

My name was given to my by my ritual Master during a deep trance session in the middle of the Amazonian Jungle.

I was there bathed and ointed in secret coconut oils and guava essences, mixed with pineapple and mango pastes as sweet smelling sacrifices to the Natural Spirits of the Yanomami tribe.

After inhaling burnt herbs smoke and learning to create Curare poison I travelled with my Piache into a secluded spot on the jungle and was left there alone to fend for myself.

There under the jungle canopy and ointed in several fruit pastes I was promptly covered in ants and other insects. I let the jungle overtake me and as I dwelled on the pain that the insects crawling over my body inflicted me, I had a vision. I was able to see the spirit of the Jungle and be one with the Universal Order.

I was shown the sign of XXX XXX and thus my fate was decreed, I promptly dunk into the river, bathed and removed my old skin and went back to my spiritual mentor and the tribe.

There I was tended for my wounds and lay in a semi conscious state for 4 days as the fevers wracked my body and everything within my frame was expelled, both good and bad, for I was reborn.

I began speaking in tongues and the sign that was my personal guide, taught me many things. I saw the world and the people in it and saw the threads of unity and how certain beings were driven to unravel this web of life.

I was introduced to the concept of the War in the Heavens and the vision was so great I began to convulse.

I almost died but after 4 days of this ordeal I recovered. The Yanomami Piache and some people from the tribe had cared for my wounds.

I was truly a new being, a reborn being ... I was no longer XXXXXXX XXXXXX but XXXXXX-XXXX ... and ... oh you mean EVE Online?

... meh ...

Yes, we get it, terribly inspired
