Pfft, you're nothing but a Tsundere!

I've seen him go Yandere on the Anime and Manga thread a couple of times. People were very afraid.

This:

Perhaps I should put some more context into that post...

The runes reads as follows: "þurstain : auk : aystain : auk : natfari : raistu : stain : at : finuiþ : auk : ulif : þurkil buruþr sin uaru * aliR * uikiks * suniR latburniR * man * litu * rita * stain stainkil * rist * runaR"

This can be translated to: "Thorsteinn and Eysteinn and Náttfari raised the stone in memory of Finnviðr and Óleifr (and) Thorkell, their brothers. (They) were all Víkingr's sons, men born to land(ed property), (who) had the stone erected. Steinkell carved the runes"

Nattfare is the modern Swedish version of Náttfari.

Also, this runestone got blown into twelve pieces by it's landowner in the early 1800's. He thought there was a treasure buried under the stone. Ten of the pieces were put together again in 1899 and the stone was raised anew in 1934.

"Artifice" has more than one meaning for me. 

 

The most obvious, is that I joined the forums after the specialization for DAI were revealed, and I was instantly enchanted with the notion of playing a tech-focused rogue. It's absolutely perfect for me. Sentinel and Engineer were also my two favorite classes in ME. 

 

The word itself is pretty, and has other meanings that appeal to me. Artifice can be another term for cunning or artfulness, and my favorite type of characters in fiction are usually prone to those tendencies. In my own writing, I have to chill my own tendency to craft guile heroes most of the time, or else I'll overdo them. 

 

I also look at it as representative of my love for writing and storytelling in general. Paraphrased, there's a line in V for Vendetta about writers crafting "truth with lies". I appreciate the idea: honesty through artifice. 

 

"Lady" is mostly because I can be a bit of a girly girl.

I'm stubborn, have straight brown hair and am pretty strong I guess. It's new so I haven't quite found out why it's my nickname.

At 16 yrs old i decided to study religions i found interesting not to actually follow them but to just learn about them with real followers and teachers both online and in person. New York City has a great selection. From Buddhism to Judaism to Paganism to Voodoo and more recently i stumbled upon Luciferism  and Satanism (not the evil ritual kind but the exploring, experimenting and enjoying physical human nature while rejecting endeavors to rise beyond it kind) and found myself enticed with the romanticized character of Lucifer which painted him as a rebel who loved human nature fighting against a dictator (God/Heaven) who wanted to control humans with rules and fear (commandments and sins) and losing the war, being demonized by the victors and the rest being history.

 

I came to view Lucifer as humanity's tragic anti hero and that is where the name came from.

The nickname of a old thunder god, twisted to a more typical meaning of a older man. I have no idea why I picked it, probably because the thunder god sounded a bit too exaggerated at the time.

Originally taken from the name of a mythical elder species in David Zindell's SF novel "Neverness", "Ieldra" (proncounced approximately "illdrah") is Old English and means, ironically for players of DAI, "elder one" or "the elder".

I really liked the Batarians from mass effect, mostly cause the prospect of a good guy batarian was one I liked to toy with out of hobby. I also liked MLP and fancied myself a mild brony, so I mashed the two together and got Bronitarian. Used to call myself Darth Bronitarian as well, but I grew a bit bored with the whole dark side thing, and so found out about the Jensaarai, also taking inspiration from the star wars based youtube uploader Jensaarai1, and changed my name to Jensaarai Bronitarian.

When I was six or seven years old I created a crappy superhero called Silverman (which was basically a full silver version of Spiderman, my favourite superhero). I chose silver because in my english academy they were teaching us colours and I prefer to combime silver with my favourite colour, red, instead of the classic gold. It is also part of one of my favourite characters, Long John Silver from Treasure Island.

At the time I was thinking about names, and the fact that you don't get to choose yours, but your parents do. Not that I complain, I was named Jorge after Saint George, the patron of the city my family comes from and George Harrison because my mother loves the Beatles.

So anyway I was coming back from the english academy when I decided to create a word that would mean me, a name for myself. So I started playing with Silver alphabetically.

Silver-->Silvar, Silver, Silvir, Silvor, Silvur.
Silvor-->Silvro
Silvro-->Silaro, Silbro, Silcro, Sildro...
Silcro-->Silcroa, Silcrob, Silcroc...Silcrom, Silcron.
Hmm. Silcron? Silkron? Sylcron? Sylkron? Sylkrom?
Silcron? Silcron! Silcron. Silcron.

And I liked it, ever since I've said that my name is Jorge, but I am Silcron.

My sister came up with it. She said she sees me as a fighter and it would be fitting since I've been in the army and I love guns, she thought it would be a cool username to use against those 12 year old punks who always screams biiiiiiiitch in their headset whenever I beat their assess ;)
