Keraphyrm was bugged when he was first summoned, months before the game's developers were expecting people to make it to him, and as a result was not properly implemented. He was the only mob at the time that could traverse zones, and he regenerated HP faster than any amount of players could deal damage. In addition, he could instantly kill just about anything in a large radius. GMs were unable to kill him, or so it's said. Even though this was not intentional, it created a very epic feel. Eventually I took the name for a character I made, cut it down a bit, and ended up using that handle for just about everything"

Zobia - Human pally - I have no idea where this one came from in the dusty corner of my mind hehe. And I'm not so fond of it to be honest.

"I usually change the end of my name to adapt to whatever setting I'm playing. For example: If I'm in a medieval setting, I put a 'ius', if it's a darker, futuristic setting, you can't go wrong with a 'Terminator'like sounding name. heh."

My Alliance alt, Rini, is named after a character in a story I wrote years ago. I still like that name.
My DeathKnight is called Sambah. She was named by my boyfriend as she is a Tauren and (correct me if I'm wrong) the programming code thingy 'Samba' was created by the Cult of the Undead Cow.
Finally, my new warlock is called Zvarri. That's a 'Phoenix Wright' refference as it's what the character Luke Atmey shouts when he gets over-excited."
