  Serveral months ago there was a post about the names people give there
characters and the reasons behind them.  We have many new faces now, so I will
ask and explain my own.

  I used to play DnD and I subscribed to TSR's magazine Dragon.  A few years
ago an editorial was written; the subject;  developing a detachment from your
character.  The writer was one who really went into the develpoment, detailing
everything. The DM he ran across was one who loved to throw the largest of
challenges to his players.  They off course ran headlong into each other.  BAM!
Character Death. This upset the writer but he plugged on and a few quick rolls
came up with ELF2.  Bam!  Death of ELF2. This went on and on. Massive challenge
followed by relentless determination.  ELF3, ELF4, ELF5 etc, etc.  What he
ended up learning was, care about what you are doing, but remember it is just a
game and not to get too worked up over.  

  So as a reminder to myself I named my character Dayna after a thief character
I had in a failed story, and 7 as a lucky number. But if she bites it, she is
but one of a potential many. There is always another.

 My posting name, Erthbender, comes from a Marvel Superheros RPG character I
had.  He laid low in the group, but rushed out to retrieve fallen allies and
back up people when things get rough.  So what is your story?
