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. erthbender@aol.com2Dground (Erthbender) wrote: > > Serveral months ago there was a post about the names people give there > characters and the reasons behind them.
