Who uses their real name?
How many marines use their actual names because they're too narcissistic/new/not creative enough to create a character? Myself included.

Re: Who uses their real name?
John is my middle name, Rhodes is my dad's surname. My current last name is Hossain (parents are getting re-married so yeah), as in, David Hossain.
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

Re: Who uses their real name?
My SS13 name is normally RenoMAKI story, which is named after my furry recolorsona.
However, due to the naming rules, I had to change it to Reno Story to avoid getting in trouble.

Re: Who uses their real name?
My character is Greg Calimotski.
I didn't use my middle name, John, cause there are already WAYYY too many people with characters named John. I wanted to be unique. I haven't seen anyone on the server with the name "Greg" yet, and Greg being my first name (IRL) and liking my name. I thought why not!(besides Gregoire, the SL guy) The name Calimotski came out of the blue. Mixing and matching Polish last names until I found something that I liked, flew off the tongue nicely and sounded Polish enough to me. (I'm Polish irl too)
No nicknames yet cause I recently made this character. I use to go by the name "James Hudson" back in the LV-624 days (like 3-4 months ago hehe) but wanted something fresh and new for the story on the Almayer
TL;DR - First name's Greg, mixed Polish last names together, Bam, Greg Calimotski

Re: Who uses their real name?
I just randomly came up with my character's name so it was mostly a coincidence. Quite a few people in my family are named John (my character's name is Jon, but basically the same) though. My name is also a different form of John in a different language. I'll let you guys try and guess. Svarlson is completely unrelated my surname. My surname is actually czech (that's what my dad says at least).

I live for making new characters and ideas, so no I don't do that. Plus I'm not really comfortable with using my real name.

Re: Who uses their real name?
I got my name from the random name generator in KOTOR a long time ago and forgot about the name for a long time until I played Shadowrun Returns and used it there. That's also when the character got a standard appearance and personality.

Re: Who uses their real name?
Abbreviated version of real name. It's so common I don't care enough to hide it.
Also I like people calling me with my irl name, cuts down confusion. Don't call me drie, driech, driec, just Pierre.

Re: Who uses their real name?
I do, the random names don't feel right. Plus any other "fake" name feels too... alien to me. I feel comfortable using my own name, plus it caught on, I saw 2 other guys named Uriel, which is weird considering it's on the random list apparently.
Look, I've heard your cries, and your calls.
I know you're mad at Command. I know you're angry. I know you're angry that those dinosaurs killed your fellow men.
You told me this, and I heard you.
But you shouldn't be angry at your command. If you're angry at command, you're saying that command sent those men to die. But command didn't kill those men. The enemy killed those men. They took your comrades from you. That's the important thing to remember, it was the enemy who took your friends, and you should be really REALLY mad at them.
Before you go back down there, I'm reminding you who your enemy is. The enemy.

Re: Who uses their real name?
All my Character names were randomly generated. With an exception, Elizabeth's last name was randomly generated, but I spliced in the first. From a previous roll.
Arthur Bennet was originally just a random character I made for Survivor. But due to IC developments in game, (being the sole surviving Doctor on LV-624 and ended up serving the USCM to help stop the xenos) he ended up becoming my Medical professional.
