Well, I generally don't tell what Nathan Essex is from (as it is not my name). Those who know me, probably know what it's from.
But my other commonly used handle Auran Reign, that I'd be happy to share. When I first got out of high school, about 7 years ago now, I was writing a story that I had dreams of either novelizing or converting to a video RPG. The lead character for the story was named Auran Reign. How I came up with the name: I was sitting at my dad's desk on his computer (the only one internet capable in the household at the time) looking around at various objects for words that I could butcher and make names from. I came across an old game that we never quite got to work called Dark Reign. I liked Reign as a last name, but still needed a first name. I flipped the jewel case over and saw that the game was made by a company called Auran Vision. And walla, a hero was born!
I was a bit agravated a couple of years later when Final Fantasy X came out and had a star character named Auron... my hero's name wouldn't be considered by console RPG fans as an original name anymore =(
I really need to get that story kindled again, I had a lot of fun writing it. I've just been so dry on inspiration for so long...
Aw screw it, Nathan Essex is the real name of the X-men villain Mr. Sinister.
And my avatar is Senyaka, a villain from the Acolytes group led by Magneto (though when he was with them they were led by Exodus and Magneto was like an idol that they worshiped).
