    Okita - Quite frankly, because I like the character. Both from a historical standpoint and how he/she is portrayed in fiction/media.

    Strategy - I really like strategy games and situations you have to think intensely about. I was surprised nobody took the username.

    Underjoyed - made it while thinking about my grades in school

    I used to have an islander, but I still wanted a job, so I worked part-time at the Southperry armor shop before making enough mesos to buy a ferry ticket.

    I actually knew somebody who had the GhenghisKhan ign on GMS back in 2008, he was lvl 150 and at that time was considered god status. For some reason after meeting him, the name stuck in my head longer than any other maple ign I had ever seen including my original global one that I made. Also, GhenghisKhan so happens to also be one of the very few words that maxes out the word count you're allowed to have on maple/actually sounding like something real too.

    Koan, because my favorite villain from Sailor Moon was Koan :D
    Kanariya is a song by my favorite artist Ayumi Hamasaki
    Ayuppears is Ayumi Hamasaki's name mixed with her song appears (or her album LOVEppears) together and I like the sound of it!

    All of my characters are names I came up with my senior year of high school when I started writing a sci-fi novel. While my writings have collected dust over the years, I still have some ambition to finish it - it's not likely going to happen any time soon.
    Annolis - Overly self-controlled hero of the story
    Corvack - Side-kick whose impulsively angry actions prevents him from success
    Crisilixin - Main villain of the story
    Tylius - Vaunted symbol of heroism in exploration (does not actually make an appearance in the novel)
    Tisif - Corvack's right-hand man; often foolish, but a savant with machinery/technology
    Katroz - She carries a small torch for Annolis. She understands her priorities and is an overlooked scientific trailblazer
    Marchilles - The adopted son of Katroz, Marchilles was exiled from his home world for a blasphemous revelation he made - which has shattered his confidence.
    Atlan - Crisilixin's right-hand man and Annolis's boss.
    Forg - A subordinate of Annolis and ally of Crisilixin; he is enraged that Annolis was chosen over him (even though he knows Atlan did not make this decision)
    Quallo - A life-long friend of Forg; he is wise and an engineering genius - he secretly believes Forg is out of control and is trying to aid Annolis in his quest
    Nannosh - A high ranking military police officer, she is an adept investigator who has caught Annolis's romantic attention, but she has no interest in reciprocating.
    Chokal - Annolis's second-in-command whose fierce loyalty to Annolis is rivaled by none.

    I'm a Gunslinger. I need aim. And it has always been my gamename.
    I do use a K instead of a C because PerfectAim is usually taken being a popular name. In the dutch / german language a K is a proper replacement for the C. Hence I pick PerfektAim.

    Diether was a D&D character I played, specifically a runepriest who used a massive two-handed sword and conjured divine runes to empower his physical attacks. To me, Combo Attack looked like arcane/divine runes, so I ported the character over to MapleStory.


    I used the name Mikiera for quite a few characters. Most of them were slightly sneaky, unorthodox characters, and the most recent one was a trigger-happy swashbuckler NPC in a D&D campaign I ran; she was essentially a bard who wielded hand crossbows (reflavoured as handguns).


    Caldweiss was one of my newer D&D NPCs; he’s a young lord from a noble house that used to rule in the frigid northern highlands (kinda like House Stark). MapleStory doesn’t have swordmages or bladesingers, but he had ice-themed powers so I/L wizard was the closest fit.

    Beorn: My favorite character from The Hobbit.

    CappinPiggs: A play on the words "captain" and "pigs". He's a gunslinger and Piggs sounds like an actual last name.
