    oh that's why you always say that! that is so sweet! tsuki tsuki MapleF2

    honestly this is my favorite so far, that is amazing haahhaah

    my man, I think I may have told you this before but it took me so long until I realized this (it was way after I finished editing the job adv video too...LOL)

    Ryae: "You made it when you were 12 and have an attachment to it?" is way too accurate lol. I remember I liked the shape of the words (??) of the name Raye, and also liked Rae but it was too short, so as a genius 12 year old I just flipped the letters hahaha. I really like names that are simple and one short word because they are easy to remember, and "Ryae" is spelled stupidly enough that it was usually never taken lol. I've used it for Trickster Online and TERA before MapleLegends. Originally I made it for IMVU OnionSpit
    Steffles: My name is Stef and when I was 15 a boy I liked called me "Stefls" sometimes. We never dated but I changed the spelling and made it the name of my Aran when they came out :p Me and two other friends made our Arans partner characters and one of them joined me for a short time on this server, so I made my partner character with her the same name from those times ^^
    Azalea: I just like flowers and think this one has a nice name but other islanders keep calling me iggy :(((( bahahaha

    I chose Enchant (my first character) because I thought it fit well with mages and it sounded pretty. Since I screwed that one up, I made Homo because I'm gay as hell. :sleep:

    Nolo means lame / embarrassing/ awkward in finnish, so i thought it fit me

    Elovera was created cause there is this oatmeal brand in Finland called Elovena and + my name = Elovera (lol)

    Aloe comes from aloe vera and bc people kept calling me aloe anyway (the name is aioe, cause aloe was taken smh)

    Invidia means hate, envy / jealousy in latin and i thought it was cool.

    DurzoBlint: Durzo Blint AKA
    Acaelus Thorne, Gaelan Starfire, Dehvirahaman ko Bruhmaeziwakazari and more
    is the name of a character from the "Night Angel" books trilogy. I love reaching all sorts of emotional climaxes and this was the first time a book had got me to physically cry while reading it - I had to wipe my eyes a few times so I could continue reading. XD And I love Durzo himself as a character, so... yeah. Also, Durzo's basically a cool assassin with special abilities, so this IGN went for my assassin.

    Zelretch: I'm a weeb :3 Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg is a mysterious character from the Nasuverse (Tsukihime, Fate/stay night and other Fate titles, Kara no Kyoukai, and some more) with a special ability:
    he is one of the only living Mahoutsukai, magicians employing "True Magic"; specifically, he is the one in control of the magic known as "Kaleidoscope", "Mangekyou", or "Zelretch" - a magic enabling him operation of parallel worlds. This basically means that he is the strongest link between all the various Nasuverse titles, making small - but cool - appearences in several different ones, and not just as a parallel dimension version of himself - but as the very same version, traversing between them, knowing of the others as much as the readers do and maybe more.
    He has parts in both the background ages-old lore of some of the titles, and in actually recent occurences in said titles' plotlines.

    FeroxAnima: Was the name I gave my Aran when I tried playing GMS again about 5 years ago, and it kinda caught. (Sat down with Google and translated latin words for probably way too long until I found something with both a sound and a meaning - kind of - that I was cool with.) Was also my League IGN afterwards and I also used it in a bunch of other places; pretty much my go-to online name over the past few years.

    The most nostalgic IGN I could think of is SHAY105, which is how I named my old Cleric (later Priest and later Bishop) back in old GMS, but... I kind of hated that IGN - it's basically my rl name in caps + 105 and I always wanted to change it back then XD My 8-years-old self didn't really put much thought into it; guess I didn't realize how attached I'd get to this game soon after :p Also my assassin back then was named xsinxskippyx or something... after a brand of peanut butter. X'''D

    I'm a history enthusiast on naval related content so some of my character's IGN pay homage to former aircraft carriers such as USS Saratoga and HMS Ark Royal.

    I wanted to use the IGN GrafZeppelin as well but someone got to it first.
