Okay...so I'm at the point where I realllyyyyyyyyyyyy dislike my username. Like...intensely. I find it hokey, I don't like the flow of it, it doesn't awesomely fit my character etc. It's time to switch things up. I had a perfect replacement lined up and unfortunately, it's not available. Sooooooo, I'm coming to the court of public opinion and the people who know me and my character the best - my fellow RPGers.

The only requirements are that it's one word and that it fits my character.

Names that I'm currently mulling over are Widow and Fathom, opinions on those would be welcomed as well.

I'm a total stranger! He said in the least awkward way possible.

How about like Shadow Cass? Or just Queen of the Vine?

#7 Posted by Mercy_ (83662 posts) - 1 year, 1 month ago - Show Bio

@VictorGrey: One word ;p

@Crowman: A little too first-namey for me.

@Closure: Sleep tight :D

If you could call yourself The Mercenette, you and I could team-up and destroy all life in the universe?

This is definitely going into the 'possible' pile, because I love it and it's connotations. It speaks to her somewhat tenuous mental state and the fact that she can unravel webs, so to speak.

Why is this familiar? My myth radar is going off.

Wait...Oedipus Complex, right? Hmmm.

@sesquipedalophobe: Oooooooooh. I like.

Do something German. That's what I did.

#22 Posted by Mercy_ (83662 posts) - 1 year, 1 month ago - Show Bio

@Mr. Mercury: Oh derp lol.

An unused account with the name that I wanted was deleted, so it freed it up on CV. But somebody on GB had the same username and because it was linked to a multipass (and my account name would be changed across all Whiskey sites), it wouldn't allow me to use it. Which sucks.

@Zauberin: Eh. When I use names of other languages, I generally have it of a language that means something to my character. So it would be either Irish/Gaelic or French.

@The Dark Huntress: Yeah, people always suck at figuring out who I am so it's like starting out on the Vine all over again everytime I create an alt.

Maybe not Widow, but perhaps Willow? Or Dusk?

I like both of those. Dusk piques my interest.

I like it, actually thought about it a few times myself.

@The Dark Huntress: Nightingale :D

#33 Posted by Mercy_ (83662 posts) - 1 year, 1 month ago - Show Bio

@Crowman: Nightingale always makes me think of Florence and then nursing. Cass doesn't have that disposition. But I do like the bird motif, she had bird-related nicknames.

If your perfect new name isn't available, just do what I did and put periods on either side of it. :P

It's also a synonym for "Fathom".

I'd have to use underscores, which I don't want >_<

@Illuminatus: Try harder.

@Grift3r: Kind of like em, just not sure enough to actually use.

@.Longshot.: Warborn is catchy.
