Come walk with me.

Nice to meet you again.

This incarnation brought to you by the generosity of one fyreharper . (Thank you, thank you.)

So let me tell you about my new name. Rentetsu is Japanese for "wrought iron," which I think is a perfect combination of aesthetics and functionality. Of beauty and strength. It's something tempered and forged (but not faked). It will bend ( Read more... )

The 'harper' part is probably obvious ;p I don't remember precisely why I picked fyre for the beginning besides it being elementalish and, well, being a middle schooler I thought the y looked cool (ok, I might sort of still think that ;p or at least, it makes it less 'this is about fire which is a concrete thing'). It's not a name I'd pick now, I think. But I'm not sure what is, either. Maybe Kyrrin. I still answer to that, from a few people (my original D&D character, played for several years ( ... )

Ugh. Yes, middle name related family politics are something that should be avoided. My parents chose a Japanese middle name that none of my ancestors in living memory had, so I dodged the bullet on that one too.

The y in fyre is elegant. It matches you.

When I was 12 I had to get an e-mail account for reffing. I didn't really care about it, so I became majorbum@hotmail.com. Stuck with that moniker for a couple years.

My parents named me William, since they were very worried about me being called "Billy Jr" 'cause of my dad. Anyway, when I was two I started ordering everyone to call me Bill, not William, 'cause I was a Bill. Regardless, my father, grandfather, and great uncle on my dad's side were all called Bill and I'm kinda proud we've kept it going.
