Good way of going about it. A player's character currently in the weekday
game aquired the name "Daisy" after one of the other character's noted she
seemed "Dazed and Confused", after which time another PC (who was attempting
to handle certain negotiations on the fly) was Intro-ing the members of the
group, and when looking at the character, suddenly came up with "Daisy" from
"Dazed".
<Padre'> is simple, simpler than most would believe. He often views himself
as the "father" of the group.
<Binder> arose from the time period in which a Free Spirit associated to
Ometeotl had been cohabitating with a character for a long time (many years
before "LOA" rules ever came about).
<Passion> (one of Mike B's character) came about because she was born to the
actions and "passions" of another character.
<Host> (Perry F'sC) came about because the decker in question sent out an area
moded attack program into the middle of a combat situation involving some of
"Deus' Minions" (descending upon the Lord of Hosts....)
<Stone> (other Mike's character) came about no part in lue of his character's
totemic orientation (Gargoyle).
<Angel> (Jeremy's PC) has her story detailed on HHH, and I won't repeat it,
but the idea of "sexual heaven" for some reason comes to mind.
<Fortune> (Greg's PC) arose from "Soldier of Fortune" magazine in
reference to
the mercenary PC.
<Prophet> arose from an unknown part of my own mind, and got twisted for two
reasons in it's pronunciation. First of all was he was a "decker", and no one
at the time wanted to listen to how I said the word, so it changed. Second,
he hung around "Fortune" (see above), and thus his name became
"Profit".
<Jynx> (John H's PC) is lue to the references of "cat's luck" (Cat
Shamaness)
and his character having a particular run of "bad luck."
<Lady Zot/Dazzler> (Jon T's PC) arose from her usage of the "Light Ray"
spell
as her preferred combat means. She later aquired "Lightning Bolt" and "EMP
Strike", so "Zot" came in later.
those are the one's I can think of ATM...
