Ok I think the title explains it all. :) Aiddat is Taddia as in Nick Taddia backwards. A lot of you probably know that already 'cause my name is on my profile.

PS: If nobody minds, since new members should post here, may I or somebody else bump this every month or so?

 Rahn del Sol

I started using Rahn del Sol in JK2. Figured I'd need an online name, so I used Rahn as a reference to the character "Qu Rahn"...who we see briefly at the beginning of JK1. Then I needed something to put on the end of it, so I just added "del Sol" out of nowhere. Don't even know how I got the idea for the last part.

But mainly, the name is a reference. ;)

I believe I was the first person to use Plo Koon ever in JK2.I spread the word about Kel dor to everyone. None knew what a Kel dor was before me or didnt think it was important enough to use as a name :o I needed a name at msn gaming zone so I chose a mysterious character that none knew about. though I was "Plo_Koon_Sai", I found the word Sai in a episode 2 book. it means in jedi terms "Jump to evade an attack to the legs". Then I joined the JA, after a while changed it to Plo Koon. :)

Koyi Donita
 - Student
 Koyi Donita

Koyi Donita is actually the name I chose for my Star Wars roleplaying character who was a female twilek who wanted to be the best of the best. She started out a slave, much like the dancing girl that Jabba had in ROTJ, but much darker and evil. Pit fighting and other forms of combat became her bread and butter as she basically had to fight to survive. She became a force adept during this period feeling the force, but not learning how to control it. She was freed and trained by a younger Jedi who felt that the force was strong in her and was quickly sudduced by her beauty. During that time she acted like his friend and servant while she was really his lover and student. The council felt her strong pull with the force and became interested in her, but quickly desided they didn't want her around. She begged and pleaded with them over and over and over again until another promising Jedi came along and took her under his wing. He was a student under Mace Windu most gifted in the force and the way of the saber. Having this little foothold, she did manage to get her way into the academy, but they were watching her closely for they were bending the rules once again.

Meanwhile, there was tons of talk about the chosen one working within the academy and she learned of young Anakin and how he was to bring balance to the force. While she was finally becoming something great, she wanted more. She was going to be the chosen one! She saw his confinement to the academy as his undoing and his crutch. He could never learn the ways of the darkside from a jedi and was quick to tell him that he was never going to be that chosen one. The anger would flood his face at her taunts and she would tell him, "Good. Balance that out with what you learn her and you might have a chance." She would wink and blow kisses at him to confuse and upset him when she was brought before the council to answer for some of her actions. Feeling that she had learned enough from Mace's student and the academy, she confessed on her actions and left the academy putting them down for their acute training and feeble mastery of the force.

Siddius heard of her and began sending her little gifts to further her training and ultimately bring her over to the dark side. She accepted the gifts whole heartedly and continued with her training for a short while before he commanded her to take a ship to a desolate planet that would benefit her training most. It was at this point she came into play as she interacted with Smilykrazy's character and another friend of ours. The ship was attack in flight and Koyi saw to the survivers care. When they awoke, they were all locked up and their gear was missing along with Koyi! Turns out that space pirates attacked the ship to gather what useful parts they could from it's scrap and the survivers were locked up. Being that Koyi never lost conscienceness, she was takin in to the boss of the operation and he lusted for her. She was abused for a short while the others managed to escape their cages and while fleeing, met up again heading for the ship. Smily was a novice jedi still trying to learn how to control the blade of a saber and Koyi's unknown jedi abilities became known when they found themselves surrounded by refurbished droids from the droid armies. Koyi wore a necklace that was a long cylindrical carving with some unformiliar characters that no one had time to ask about. She slammed the cylinder on the floor and threw the unhidden saberstaff hilt up into the air doing some flips and gymnastics catching it with elegant grace and turning it on to face the enemy. She made quick work of most of the droids and even used some force powers Smily's character never learned.

They ended up stealing the boss's lead ship that was in that hanger and made way to their destination. Koyi was dropped off in the wastelands of that area saying she had business there while the others made way to a small township where Smily's master met the rest. They went on a series of small missions while the dark side started taking root in Koyi as she continued with her training via holograms, traps, and programs left there by Siddius. She constructed a new saber with red crystals and learned dark side abilities very quickly as the hatred that was in her early life exploded within her and she fell quickly not being able to hold the balance that she had hoped she would. The characters were going to meet again, but we never got that far. The game was cut short as I was busy working and couldn't put enough collected ideas down on to paper to make an adventure worth playing. Was going pretty good though. :D


So........Um.......... Yeah. That's where Koyi Donita came from. An inocent girl who had a terrible life who was strong with the force and wanted to be the best. Her story was unfinished so Watch out!!!! :D

Sared is just a mutation of time. Originally, on the MSN Gaming Zone, I was sarod95, later, I changed the spelling to Sared, dropped the year, and started using it as my online alias. Also, when I was part of the SWG RP forums, I, me, my charachter, was Sared. Its almost my alternet self. Kilvan came up when I was trying to think up a last name for myself. Its a mixture of Klivian (Hobbie, from the X-Wing series), and Kelvin (the temperature measurment system). Also, if you see a "Javen" around IRC or the servers, or a "Javen Kilvan", thats just the evil me. Or if its in IRC, its just my other computer, running leet hax. :D

Oh, and I'm a Belouve too dangit. :D

I DID NOT MAKE YOUR NAME UP CUZZA! LIES!

I have had multiple names, here goes:

RdBeSt - When I joined my first clan, I couldnt think of a decent name, so I made RdBeSt, translated out of chat talk to Are The Best. Therefore [TpS]RdBeSt = TPS Are the best.

Shine - Random crappy name. I shine on joo.

Optime - Random word of Latinness. Optime = The Best.

UrashimaKeitaro - Anime reference to Love Hina

Uchiha Sasuke - Anime reference to NARUTO (<- Meant to be caps. Best anime ever)

Well me and Virtue were talking bout your name and this is what we came up wit, look at this this way Nova you could be a movie trilogy,

"Anger that destroys the Sun",
"Anger that Destroys the Sun...Harder" and
"Anger that destroys the Sun...with a Vengence" :P

Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??"

Nemesis Nova...

Nemesis - was actually the Greek God of anger and vengence.

Nova - Is actually a star which has lost most of it's gravitational energy and therefore breaks up and explodes.

So your name actually means;

Anger that destroys the Sun...with a Vengence. :P :D

Just thought I'd share that with you. LoL.
