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.

Got it while in the Army....
something about lieutenants and map-reading being incompatible

I usually go by Phoenixdawn but when I looked around the board I saw that we already had Phoenix-D and didn't want to cause any confusion. So I fell back on an older nym that I use to use. A nodachi is a japanese great sword. I started using it for a character in an rpg and it followed me to the web. The sad part is that in my head Phoenixdawn and Nodachi are two separate people!

Name of ADD&D char I've played forever including on Ultima Online. Also main char in novel I have under construction.

It's my name, silly...

I wasn't feeling creative at the time.

Atrocities · #10 July 28th, 2002, 04:19 AM

I started using the name Atrocities back in the days of Diablo. Then it sounded cool for a MP game called Tribes. All in all, I have been using the Name Atrocities, PCP Atrocities, and MS Atrocities for about 8 years now perhaps more.
