I chose Slug because it implies a sly wit and a simple, carefree life.....

No I didn't. I chose Slug because Salrilians look like slugs and I like Salrilians.....

My name is a conglomoration of a philosophical character (german), a theater character (greek tragedy), and a folk lore character (Japanese, Shinto). All of them have a pseudo-common theme, but when the whole is combined, it makes for an interesting analogy. Try to name the characters! [NOTE: only one person has ever guessed more than one correctly]

My name has nothing interesting about it, and i'd choose a more serious name If I could, and probably would have changed names before leaving.

Well, I started a new EVO pilot, and I had run out of the default names, so I made up Mag Steelglass, because it was the same general style as the default names. When I played as Mag Steelglass, I kept in a UE Fighter. That was the most enjoyable game of EVO that I have played so far. So I started using Mag Steelglass as a different name.

As for Tyrael (Teer•eal), I happened to like the archangel Tyrael (from D2) and I was starting to get bored of Avatara.

Well, it just sort of grew. I switched names a lot a while back, but then I settled on Sundered Angel. Why? Because names like Fallen Angel and Dark Angel are so boring.

No, I am not a fan of Gengrich, as you might have guessed. I chose Newt because backwards, it spells Twen. No, wait, that can't be it. I honestly don't know how I came up with this name, but I've used it for like everything for about 4 or 5 years now, and no one's complained, so why would I change it for Ares board registration?

Punkster, what are you into? Hardcore, old-school? Like what bands?

Mag: Yeah, I could, but it'd mean I have to get another e-mail address, because I already registered on about 3 different ones and forgot the passwords and then couldn't be bothered getting them mailed to me. I really couldn't be stuffed even creating a new account. So Punkster stays for the time being.
