Rahn del Sol
 - Student
 Rahn del Sol

Rahn del Sol...hm..

Well, "Rahn" is a rather blatant nod to Qu Rahn, a character from Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight (JK3's Grandfather game, pity you if you never got to play it :D )

"del Sol" translates to "Of the Sun", and it just sounded neat, so I tacked it on.

 Gantoris

I was reading my most favorite Star Wars books ever: I,Jedi and the Jedi Adacademy trilogy. Gantoris isn't a mjor character but he plays an important part in the founding of the New Jedi Order. Sadly he does not get to see the new order of Jedi blossom, he uncovered the ghost of Exar Kun in the Massassi Temple and became a Dark Jedi. He and Exar Kun became angered at each other and Kun burned him from the inside out. He was also the first to create a dual phase lightsaber, a saber with varying lengths.

Doppelgänger
 - Student
 Doppelgänger

Doppelgänger as you Germans know is a double of a person, well something like that. So a long time ago when I realized that I needed a screen name rather than my human name. I decided that since my life seemed divided up into day and night. Night being the time I spent online and day being RL I would be a Doppelgänger online. As for the abbreviation of Doppelgänger that's a secrete and I shall never tell it except the part about me adding another p to Dop. I added the other p because everyone thought my name was pronounced dope (as in pot or weed). Make sense?

Okay let me post it here too ;)

cmad -> "c"hris + mad (my most usual state :P :D)

Darth Madex -> Darth (a sith's "first name" :P) + Madex (mad + x [my fav. letter])

I've had more but those two are the most common.

BTW: there is another root for cmad_x except cmad + x (my fav. letter) but well I must watch my language :)

Janus
 - Retired
 Janus

Originally, Janus was the real name of a character Magus from the best video game of all time Chrono Trigger. Upon further digging, Janus was actually a Roman god, with two faces that looks into the past and into the future. I've since used it for everything I've ever done in gaming. Online gaming they are sticklers though, Everquest wouldn't let that be used, most online games already use it or don't allow it. Kind of crazy and doesn't make sense, but that's why Janus is my name...
