"Shiara' comes from 'Shiara Ulanti', the name of my original Traveller RPG PC from way back in '78. The surname being something that sounded somewhat Vilani and the first name having a similar sound to my own first name in the first syllable. I felt, and still feel, that it has a nice 'flow' to it, so I have used it in a number of different types of games; tabletop RPGs. This is the first time I have used it for a computer game, that I can recall.

Rather simple, I know.

I used to go by the name Kurokawa, when I first took on my gamer name. It worked for a short while, but eventually I kept running into it already being taken so I decided to change the second half to something new. Ended up coming up with "teren", at the time it had no meaning and was just something I had thought of on the spot. Later I found out that "teren" means "means of deceiving another", which works for me.

When I was first watching Battlestar Galactica, and saw William Adamas callsign printed on the side of his viper, I thought it read Husher - turns out I was wrong, but I liked the name anyway, and took it for myself. Makes a bit of morbid sense, if you think on it. Silencing the enemy and all that ...

My pilot's name is a bastardization of my internet handle, FelixMorodoudt. Mordou sounds like a masculine version of one of my favorite video game characters as well, so it fit me pretty well. Anyways, that's about it.

well, i use this nick for about 10 years now.. maybe even longer.. i began using it when i started with mech3 and continued with mech4.. since then i use it for all games/forums/whatsever.

originally i decided for this name because when i was younger i liked the idea of being the one bringing silence to my enemies, so i liked "Silence"; but still this wouldnt fit as a pilots name, so i bring it into verb form as Silencer (back then i didnt know that silencer is a addon for guns - i was about 11 and just learning the english language :))
well, since Silencer was often taken as name, i switched some letters etc and found S1lenceR

Mine is a bit too obvious isn't it? XD (I've been using the name and number in multiple games, so I couldn't resist)
And the 581 is from the planet Gliese 581c (The first exo-planet thought to have water)

I've been playing multiplayer games since Doom, and I started using this name -98. It has been my nickname in online games since that year. So, if you ever meet Surmuri in other games, I'm pretty sure it's me.
