Hey Everybody! I have been on these forums for a long time now, and I tell ya, I've seen a lot of interesting User Names on this site. So I wanted to make a thread that asked a simple question: Where does Your Username Come From? I'm very interested to see the answers to this question, and who knows, maybe it could make for an interesting discussion.
Example Answers from Yours Truely:
I've had 2 Usernames on this site, so let me explain both of them.
Lyron Dryearmitore: When I first joined this site, I was mainly interested in Skyrim, and Roleplaying. I looked at the forums for a long time, just reading over peoples different stories and characters revolving the Elder Scrolls world. I wanted to join it all, so I created my own character: Lyron Dryearmitore. He has since then been updated to be named Lyron Allunare, because his original Family name was pain to pronounce. Then, I started to get into the heavy lore within the Elder Scrolls Universe, and I decided to change my Username.
Specter of Death: (I'm going to be writing this from a unique perspective, so bare with me...)
Dismaying Shout - Faas: Nonvul Bron, dahmaan daar rok do fin Fodiiz Bormah - Faas ni Brendon do Dinok, fah rok los qolaas do moro, ahrk hin aak wah lot Sovngarde.
Dismaying Shout - Word 1; Fear: Noble Nord, remember these words of the Hoar Father - Fear not the Specter of Death, for he is the herald of glory, and your guide to great Sovngarde.
The Specter of Death. The Herald of Glory, and Guide to The Legendary Sovngarde. This ancient Dragon Scripture of sorts speaks of the one who guides us to death. He has been called many names in many different cultures: The Grim Reaper, The Embodiment of Death itself, Death, El Muerte, Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse, He who Rides the Pale Horse etc. But one may wonder who this Specter of Death was before. Could he always have been this Undead Being, one who guides dead souls to the afterlife?
Some believe that he may have been a man before it all. A skilled assassin, unparalleled in his abilities. A man that single-handedly filled the Mead Hall of Sovngarde to it's capacity, and that his reputation in the After-Life is what earned him the title Specter of Death. And maybe, that it is what compelled the Divines, or whatever other worldly force, to draw him into another plane of existence: The Afterlife itself. Maybe now, he still holds his duty as the Specter of Death because his life previous. Or maybe, it is all just a myth. Yet, many can say that they have seen the Faceless, Hooded figure, on the Pale Horse over the aftermath of many wars, after funerals, and sites of death.
- I just Loved the Wall for the Word of Faas in the Dismaying Shout. So much that I Re-named myself the Specter of Death. I loved the Lore that the Grim Reaper held behind him, and I just decided that I would right a little something that explains who he may or may not have been.
