Cyrus: Name of Famous Knight in Chrono Trigger also.

I... mentioned that. But I'm too nice to sick the owl, and too tired to quote it, so..

One of the two people I stole the name from was Cyrus named after the CT character.

Now, there were three factors as to why I chose Cyrus. The first being I had just read about the... persian king, was it? I can't even remember anymore. The other two were two other Cyruses I knew online, one based on CT and one based on Cyrus the Virus from Con Air.


Now go get him, owl!

Kuraiou is a japanese mangling of Cryo (my previous name was Chryozach[sic]) which can be written as "dark king." (Kurai + Ou) Of course, that means dark in the color sense, not the evil sense, but eh, you get what you're given.

I'm amused by the fact that the thread is subtitled to someone who hasn't responded yet.

Except Alan and FZ already answered, and neither of them did that because neither of them HAVE very long stories behind their names. :P

And when you say FZ you are meaning that you would have something else to blame him for.

The origin of my name started about 0-score and about 8 natural years ago, maybe more. About that time I was introduced to the intranet as we know today, with all the visual graphics and whatnot. (Believe it or not, the internet had no bunch of pictrues like today! Dang youngsters and their "visuals".)

Also around that time I was starting H.S. and was in a "computer basics" class wich was ensesinaly typing. Well, I was near one of my few friends that were from Jr. High and looked over at what he was doing an IM that became my main IM of my life, AIM. I decided to make my own to follow suit and chose the 2 "cool" sounding ajatives and stuck it on my favorit noun, back then I was trying to be creative. However it stuck on to me as I continued to use it for my e-mail adresses and such and it remained vurtualy unchanged up to this day.

I just felt being long winded in this explination. :P
When I'm bored, I like to wander around and cast X-Zone on random things.

Quite simply, Shadow is the name of my cat. As for the 776 bit... some random numbers tacked on to the end to make it a little more distinguishable, as I use this name in several other places where just Shadow was very likely to be taken already. Not so here, so I guess it wasn't really necessary, but meh. :P

A crappy sprite comic I did in 2002.

...

What? You want more? No? Well fuck you, now I'm adding more.

OK, so back in 2002 before I knew of webcomic forums and all of that I made a few now-dead and very shitty sprite comics about me, some random VG characters and my friends in a place called the Realm of Shadow (subtext: Not to be confused with Shadow the Hedgehog, Shadow from FF6 or your own shadow). For my avatar I created a bad Megaman edit that bore resemblance to Vincent Valentine but with a grey cape and short but messy brown hair (my own hair wasn't quite as long back then). In one of the comics my character introduced me as Shadow Warrior Luke. The name's stuck with me for the past four years.

I also went under the name Suikoshadow briefly in 2003 but I abandoned that about a month or so afterwards. I mainly used it on Drunkduck for another now-dead Suikoden sprite comic. Dead because it sucks. Also down to a lack of Suikoden sprites. But mostly because it sucks.

Alright, I finally decided to type this up. Where did I come up with the name Carmichael Micaalus? Well, first of all, this is Carmichael.

Posted Image

Or rather, that’s a picture of him I found on Google because I don’t feel like recharging the battery on my digital camera at the moment. Anyway, yes, that’s the Avon Carmichael Plush Mini Toy, circa 1985. My older brother and I each had one; his was Carmichael the 1st, mine was Carmichael the 2nd, and much like my brother and I, they were brothers as well. Carmichael the 2nd was my favorite toy when I was a child. GI Joe, Thundercats, and all the others were fun, but nothing compared to the little stuffed cat with a clippie claw hand (which allowed him to swipe Liono’s Sword of Omens, cha-ching!)

Fast-forward to the end of elementary school, beginning of middle school. Around this time, I began to write on a regular basis, creating ideas and stories which lead to my first series of books, ‘Tales of Darkness’. (Note to self: burn ‘Tales of Darkness series’. *shudder*) I’m not going to get into the train-wreak that is Tales of Darkness, but one the characters in it was Carmichael the 2nd, Sign Bearer of Fire. You see, in the books, Carmichael the 2nd was a demi-god (and much like his stuffed counterpart, his was a feline humanoid). Where was Carmichael the 1st? He was the god whom the Sign Bearer of Fire served. Yes, there were other Sign Bearers, no; I’m not going to name them.

Skip to the beginning of high school. I finally have enough sense to stop ‘Tales of Darkness’, and use it for a very loose base for my new series: The Elementalists. Once again, Carmichael the 2nd is in it, as the Primary Sign Bearer of Fire, and Carmichael the 1st is the god of the Elementalist religion. The writing was marginally better (which isn’t saying much), ‘though it was around the third book I discovered angst. (Note to self: burn the Elementalists books. Make sure the third one is soaked in gasoline. *shudder*)

Shuffle forward a couple of years, around when we finally had a computer which could get on-line (and actually had something more than just a 5Ľ drive and had a mouse). I decide to restart The Elementalist series again, this time with some changes to the names, ‘cause you know what? Having two characters named Carmichael makes it really fucking hard to write, even if one of them is not involved most of the time. Carmichael the 2nd became Carmichael Micaalus (as my middle name is Michael), and Carmichael the 1st became Carmichael Jamghet (my brother’s middle name being James, and one of his many handles being ghettotrsh).

So, that’s where Carmichael Micaalus comes from. Of course… I’m not Carmichael Micaalus. I’m Arkayos.

Yeah, you see, Carmichael Micaalus is a character based on my stuffed toy. In the stories, the main character was always me (hey, these were stories whose roots go back to elementary and middle school, of course there’s going to be self-insertion!), whose named changed to Arkayos (by the Elementalist series, I was the future Sign Bearer of Light). Why? Well, if I ever published these, I figured the main character shouldn’t be named after the author.

So why did I go with Carmichael Micaalus instead of Arkayos? Not exactly positive. Part of me wants to say it had something to do about the ToS on Buzz or GameFAQs (the first two forums I did any kind of posting on)… I want to say it said something about whatever handle you chose was the property of said board, blah blah blah, and so Carmichael Micaalus would be easier to replace as it was a regular name (Carmichael) combined with an altered normal name (Micaalus) as opposed to Arkayos, since that name is completely original. (Or so I thought; I recall doing a Google search on it to find out some Canadian fuck named his Geoshitties page and his stupid boat ‘Arkayos’. Asshole.) I’d like to think I was never as stupid as to think something like that, but… I can’t say for certain. But for whatever the reason, I went with Carmichael Micaalus, and have stuck with it since.

This, to me anyway, brings up a funny point about the Main RP. The names of the Godmod (Jamghet) Brothers and me have become all muddled because I went with the handle of Carmichael Micaalus instead of Arkayos. You see, if I were to straighten it all out, the green-haired bartender would be Arkayos, Arkayos Jamghet would actually be Carmichael Micaalus, and Solthus Jamghet would be Carmichael Jamghet. So who is Solthus? He’s my twin brother from the Elementalist series (future Primary Sign Bearer of Darkness).

Something else to note is I like to recycle my names for my different stories. Carmichael Micaalus has not only been a demi-god with complete control over Fire, be he’s also been a powerful warrior-mage mentor (similar to his role in the Main RP, but not nearly as strong), and a crazy partial cyborg bounty hunter.

But yeah… that’s where the name Carmichael Micaalus comes from.
