Well... about a million years ago (or maybe more like 10) I spent a
lot of time doing assorted BBS Games (aka door games).  Favorites were
Global Wars, Legend of the Red Dragon, TradeWars, etc.   Anywho -
there was this guy who was into Star Wars.  This guy also annoyed
me.... often.   So, I decided my handle should be something that would
really cheese him off.  Thus, the name Handy_Solo was born.  Ever
since then its just kinda stuck...  odd, eh?  At least 10 years later
I'm still using the silly thing.

Next came the Rogue - Henrietta_Solo.  Not much to explain.  Just a
play on the name.

My mage is named Darken_Solo.  Loosely based on Darken_Rahl (go read
the Terry Goodkind series!).  A friend already had the name
Darken_Rahl - and I seemed to be gravitating to '_Solo' so there you
go.
