How did you all come up with your character names
I got S.L.A.M. from Galaxy Guide 9 : Fragments From The Rim
its a mercenary term meaning :-
S - Searh
L - Locate
A - Annihilate
M - Mission
It fits well with my Ubese Mercenary character. |

I stole Ragnar from the video game Rune.
When I decided to make a pirate Ragnar sounded cool. |

The mystery of my handle, revealed!
Rathe Ehtar can be found in "The Adventure of Young Sherlock Holmes".

Orgaloth was something I made up, or got from Drow of the Underdark (TSR). Not sure which, it has been about 6 years since I originally made him. _________________ "I take orders from just one person: Me!"

Roguesquad comes from the books. Hmmm, after everyone else's name origin, mine kinda seems boring

SNiPE, hmm had this from hellsa long ago. Back in my FA days I used SNiPE not beacuse it was short for sniper, but because it's a bird that people try to hunt but they can never seem to see or capture one. 8) |

I got two words for you, literature! Actually Urhart is my Pen Name (it is an anogram of my middle name, 5 points for anyone who can figure out what it is!! Also there is Lilamiw, that's my first name anogramed).
I also do politics, like my guy named John Lenin. _________________ 'God gave you grace to purge this place

I'm not sure where I came up with Loc, but there's a guy named Reglis Taal in Galaxy Guide 10: Bounty Hunters. I wasn't specifically thinking of him when I created Loc Taal, but I'm sure it was there in the back of my mind somewhere. _________________ "Mind what you have learned. Save you it can." --Yoda

Loc, I'm pretty sure you started playing SW-RPG prior to GG#10 coming out. Check the archives; when did GG#10 get published? |

All of my characters have been made-up to one degree or another.
Example character names that I had:- Saring Darneen - pilot/businessman/entrepreneur
- Kedra - assassin, er, security droid
- Arad Benarn - Jedi
- Lortok - Kungmontadion (made up species based on the Klingons from "Star Trek")
- "Rascal" Wraschner - scout
