Whence Your Moniker?

So, where does your screen name come from? I'd especially like to know about Suicide Junkie!

My name comes from FFVIII for PSOne. The ship was named that, and I've used the name Ragnarok ever since.

Actually, I think "Ragnarok" was the Norse term for "doomsday" or "apocalypse" - it goes back much farther than Final Fantasy

I wanted something unique, but also something that could not be taken seriously/literally.

I thought about it for quite a while, before coming up with SJ.

Yes you are correct. It does go back farther then FF. But I got the name from FF, and not the Norse term.

But thanks for pointing that out to me again.

something about lieutenants and map-reading being incompatible
