My name came from a lot of different things... but in a way it came from nothing at all (Friz-worthy bad pun intended :p )

I dont really know why, but I have always just liked the word zero. But the big thing I guess that started it was the ZERO skateboard company. I never could skate verry well, tried many times, but every time i did it ended in the same way: Busting mah ass on the pavement 20 times a night. Any way, that company always had the most bad-ass board designs I had ever seen. So when I started playing Half Life with my friends online, I started using zero as a screen name. For my tag in HL, I used my favorite image still from ZERO, the skull with "zero" stamped across the forehead. But that wasn't the only reason either. There were the Japanese fighter planes from WWII called zeros, then Gundam Wing came around with one of the most bad-ass gundams, Wing Zero. But we can't forget my favorite Megaman character Zero, and what about zero percent financing on all new model cars? that is a good thing too! (God that was crap, I gotta quit hangin out with Friz Dizzy ) There are plenty more reasons why I use the name, but it's late and I can't think right now. Geeze! Why do ya gotta keep asking all these questions? huh? It's just way too much pressure!!! Crazy

Angel Demon

My name came from how when I was younger and more immature I'd get really stubborn about certain issues and denounce people when they disagreed with me.

I was told I sounded like a street reverend.

Thankfully, I grew out of that and my name has come to sygnify not only my deep love for spirituality, but most of my life in general. It gets weird when I think about it and begin to find corellations in my nickname and the choices in my life.

Oh, and I've also been reccomended to look into divinity school; namely as a Unitarian Universalist minister.

My original name was of course going to be Azurel, which is my D&D name. It is a mix between the color Azure, which is one of my favorite colors and game (Azure Dreams), all this plus an "l". For the name Rayne, Lews Therin gave that to me. He wanted us to be enemies and I think he got his name from a book. Anyways, in the book, Lews Therin's enemy is Rayne, so it fit perfectly. Ask him about that though, I said ok cuz Rayne sounds cool.

Rayne is a character I created in a story that I wrote...I then incorporated that story into the journal in my story that I posted here...I gave Rayne to Azurel because he wanted to be part of PO and had no Ideas for characters to use, so I said "Here, be Rayne. You'll have to fight me first, but from then on he's yours."

Lews Therin is the name of my favorite character from The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan. His full name is Lews Therin Telemon, the Kinslayer, so I changed Telemon to Mythral and removed Kinslayer because otherwise, I would be plagiarizing...
