I’ve been blog-tagged by the Zero Initiate to tell the story behind my WoW alias, Blackfury.Exordium.
When I started playing the game I took the name “Blackhowling”, from Gau Ban of anime Shadow Skill. The name by itself represents “darkness” and “wolf sounds”. Nothing, absolutely nothing can there be a more profound and cooler sounding name in my book.
So there I go, drafting my character and selecting how I should look in-game. Typed in “Blackhowling” in the Name field, only to find out the name is already in use.
Disappointed from not being able to use the name, I retained “Black” and started thinking of anything to compliment it. Violence, Anger, Passion, Hate - leading to Fury. There you go. Black and Fury. Surprisingly enough, it’s also the name of an epic item in-game.
I’d like to go back to using Blackhowing anytime, though. I can only LOL so much when guildies start calling me pinkfury.
