Story behind your nick... - Page 2

I have been called maddog on networks ever since the first time we patched two Amigas together back in the 80'es. I think the nick originally came from an infantile tendency to bark and howl at girls. Cannot say for sure - my memory of the early teens is hazy.

Classy, mad=dog. But why reserve it just for the ladies? I bark and howl at everything. I'm also kind of an uncouth savage though. Plus I'm surrounded by dogs all day, starting to pick up the language. Trust me, they have one.

Me, I'm Alaskan to the core, and most of my ancestors come from cold places. I love winter, provided there's snow on the ground. I also like wolves, so I just put the two ideas together. Plus Winter Wolf sounds a *lot* better than the Chinese name I usually use for most of my online activities. If any of you can pronounce 'Wo Dong' correctly, get yourself a cookie. Make it two. Most Chinese people don't even get the name right.

Ah, Illumina Drathiran'ar... Elven sorceress, Chosen of Eilistraee, and widow of a drow bard. We had some great times together, she and I, but I don't play her any more... Now I use her occasionally when I DM or write; she's too powerful to use in most campaigns.

I can't remember.

Raistlin Majere · 10-09-2005, 06:43 AM

Rather self explanatory...

Anyway, I had a Dragonlance phase, and I've always admired the depthness of Raistlins character. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Still my favourite fantasy character ever(eats Drizzt for breakfast [img]tongue.gif[/img] )!

Greasels are green mutants that spit poison. Raptor chickens. Really nasty if you meet one in a closed space like a ventilation duct. I can't really understand why anyone would want to create a creature like that, but then Deus Ex is filled with mad scientists who have too much free time on their hands. One even has one of those stereotypical accents. "Please! You'l upset ze subjekt!"

Lets not go into that again..

Mine actually is closer to who I am than my name is. I bard semi professionally, and some of you may know that I'm trying to break into the small time barding. Any questions, click the link in my sig.
