Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?
Tanus was a character in the book River God, by Wilbur Smith. Just liked the name when I read it, and have used it ever since.

Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?
Karibu is similar (by outfit) to cariboe which is a common animal in Finland. It also has some resemblance to my real life name. Furthermore, one of my working colleagues called me "Karibu" in my ex-working place, where it was my unofficial nick. Plus I like the name so I decided to use it in here also.

Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?
My nickname is taken in the honour of Aiken Dhream - the hero of the "Pliocene Exiles" series by Julian May. I have a lot of common strains with this product of imagination.

Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?
My current nick stems from my Starcraft BattleNet playing days, where my moniker was TerranCadet. After I ditched Starcraft, I got to know Se4, then Se4 gold, then decided to post here on the shrapnel forums. Since I had to choose a nickname, I decided to reuse my B.Net name, but with the Adet in Cadet dropped, for reasons that have now escaped my mind.

Captain Kwok was the name of the protangonist in a silly space game I made back in high school computer class.

Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?
Mine's quite simple. "Renegade" due to the fact that I like the word, and it fits me quite well, as I usually don't fit in with mainstream society. "13" is the most obvious part of all, its my favorite (and lucky  ) number. Not that I believe in lucky numbers...
