quite a simple answer to this, really. "Debaser" is a kickass Pixies song.....and i though it just sounded like a badass IW screen name. Think about the meaning of it....to debase.....kind of a grimness to it

Well, I ran across this forum and it was night and I was tired, so I thought "hm... *yawn* what name could I use?" and eventually came up with Kaz. The next day I kicked myself, but now I wouldn't have anything else.

I had been lurking and wanted to answer a post on the old BG2 board. Suddenly needed a nick to register. Began thinking.. wanted something pretty with a bit of mystery, thought of Storm (x-men) and that suddenly got me thinking weather.. and Cloudbringer sounded elfish.. so I just typed that in and voila! Cloudbringer was born.. now of course I started collecting new nicks about a week after I began posting so now I've got a couple bags of holding full of nicks.. all of which have some story or other person involved! HAHAHA!
Most memorable for me is the first one, Storm Queen. Memsy decided it fit.. you'd have to ask him why..*snicker* And my currently most often used nick is Cloudy, a gift from our Bard, Yorick. Mayhap it was raining that day or most likely he didn't feel like typing out Cloudbringer!

It was late at night if i remember correctly and i was reading a book from the sword of truth series and wasn't paying attention to what i was typing and hit enter. Now i'm to lazy to change it, and i have a cool sig. that fits it.

My BG1 and BG2 character numero uno was named after the neato elf from Tolkien's work, and as I came to this forum looking for BG1 & 2 advice, I adopted my adopted name
Then I slowly got sucked deeper and deeper into GD... |

Sazerac -> A cocktail created in New Orleans during the 19th century consisting of wormwood (Absinthe), bitters, and sugar. Later, when Absinthe was outlawed as an illegal narcotic, Anisette was substituted, along with whiskey. The original Sazerac bar still operates in New Orleans, and is also the namesake for a type of jazz that emerged during the 30's and 40's.
Why I chose this: First, I'm originally from Louisiana, and wanted a name that was unique to my home state. Also, I love that form of jazz music. Secondly, it's a great-sounding wizard or sorceror name, and one I've used for my characters (and NPC's when DM'ing) PnP games. It also carried over well to Wizardry, where characters were required to have names of 7 characters or less; hence, Sazerac fit very well.

Oh, i suppose i should pick why i chose SSJ4Sephiroth even though i could pull an Azzy and just claim that i am too powerful to do this... oh well, i need to occupy the time! okay then, SSJ4Sephiroth began as my name at BGDungeon. and it began there as i was looking for a name of great power... Sephiroth. and to add to that great power, something from the other great love of my life at that time known as DBZ, SSJ4. SSJ4Sephiroth is a being of incredible power, so dont screw with me! not very imaginative though... ------------------ It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul. What are you saying? Are you trying to tell me you have feelings now? Ha, ha, ha... Stop acting as if you're sad. And there's no need to act as if you're angry either. Because, Cloud, you are... a puppet.
