Sigil: City of Doors

It was given by Pelhikano, undirectly.

When I first logged into SCoD, I was greeted by a burning dwarf, who then proceeded to "drag" my gnomish character into a cave filled with Zombies where he left her to rot.

Erm, he had to log out as I continued my travels in the cave. Suffice to say, my character died because I got lost in the caves, and when I hit key 'p' on the keyboard I saw how there was no one else to be found on the entire server.

When I went to take a look at forums, I suppose I was still feeling a bit "lost and not to be found." =P

I love HP Lovecraft.

Mind flayers are the single most Lovecraftian-inspired things in D&D.

The process of a humanoid becoming a mind flayer (via tadpole insertion!) is Ceremorphosis.

As for those of you who know my player ID (which I haven't used in months), it's a translated reference to something in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time. And the alt I haven't used yet on this server is a reference to Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen.

In High School, my best friend used to sign her emails as "Fell Cloud." She was always an inspiration to me, and did a lot of writing in her free time. So when I started playing NWN2, I wanted something to remember her by. I decided to borrow the "fell" part of her pen name.

The second part is actually a reference to Neil Gaiman's book, Stardust. I read it during a summer day and was enchanted by the clever naming scheme of the princes, the illustrations by Charles Vess, and the sincerity of the protagonist, who went out in search of a fallen star.

I liked that the star turned out to be a woman, who, if taken beyond the wall, would become nothing more than a rock; similarly, the characters I create exist only within the confines of my writing. They cannot live beyond it, and because of that parallel, I chose the name "star."

Mines... well...

I had mine since nwn1, I like it when it snows, and you get that wind that blows when every sound is muffled, but then I went to Ft Sill Oklahoma and learned to hate cold wind -_-

Also...

Steve Eriksons books = epic.

If I could, I'd make a character from that setting and bring him to Sigil >.>

Since the Azath Houses and their doors to infinite worlds/planes/warrens would make sense :P

I often go by ColoredPencils, because they are my favorite medium to color and draw with!

CheeseWedge... Well, it started off with a phrase I use commonly when something makes me unhappy. "That makes me a sad little wedge of cheese..." I have no idea why, so don't ask. =D

Hrm.

I suppose I should append to mine for any who remember me from DC.

I went by the forum name "Zaer" there, though my NWN login was deathonblackwings.

Zaer came from "ZaerTheDraconian", which was the first login I ever created when I started playing online games. It was some free 2D ORPG I found, and for some reason, the name Zaer popped into my head. I had been reading a lot of dragonlance at the time, so I appended it with "TheDraconian." ZaerTheDraconian. God, it was...Seven years ago I came up with ZaerTheDraconian...I was 11.

Mostly though, when I go by Zaer nowadays, it's shortened to Zaer.

deathonblackwings is simply a quote from a dragonlance book. A character described a black dragon as "Death on black wings".

And now...For Kestal...It's actually a bit easier. Kestal is the name of my main on this server and is how most of you know me.

As for what it means...It's drow for Hope.

Just something to be curious about.

I started liking scripting in nwn1 so I changed to Product of void.

Its my own fun way of saying Nothing.

A void main() returns nothing.

When shortened to PoV it is also used as folks saying Point of View. Which I also find amusing.

There is more I could say but its someone else's turn.

I watched a video about Railguns and then added and extra word to it.

Boring, ne?

Well, my nickname came from Baldurs Gate 2: Shadows of Amn in very beginning... there was an Otyugh :P not very interesting story. First I used just "Otyugh" as my tag, but when I started playing NWN 2 multiplayer, I had forgotten my NWN 1 "Otyugh" account password and was too lazy to wait for new password and just made new account as "Mr Otyugh"... the end ;)

Most do shorten it as "Mr O"... yes it sounds perverted... but it is not my fault people are too lazy to type it long :P
