your username's relevance to castlevania?
« on: March 01, 2012, 02:24:36 PM »

just wondering, how is your username directly relevant to castlevania series?
is it inspired by an item, weapon, magic, subweapon, etc?
or is it relevant to a character?
...or maybe it's not relevant to castlevania at all, hmm? :rollseyes:

well for mine, it's sort of a 2dvania tradition since rondo of blood for the main hero to die in a bloody mist, hence my username.
*loses all my life* "arrrghh!!!" *dissolves into a bloody mist*
Du-du-du-Du-du-du-Du-dunn!

None whatsoever. I just dig the series.

The Indra's Fire tag is somewhat tied to a weapon in Aria Of Sorrow however.
If a man chooses, and a slave obeys, then what are you if you choose to obey?

Nope, not at all here.

Oh good question. My username is somewhat related to Castlevania. Ayami Kojima used this name to sign  some of her drawings especially for the novels she illustrated .It translates to Black Swan Odile (from the Swan Lake) I think. Proof:

"ridureyu" actually translates to "pig's ear"

"OSM" abbreviated for "Oswaldo Stewart McElroy"

"ahasverus" means "he who is oblivious" in some dialects

"Flame" chose his name cuz "fire" was too simple

"thernz" was actually supposed to be "the_rnz," rnz meaning "real new zinga"

k i'm done trolling you guys


i guess you can say there is a "crisis" in every CV game  :D

My real name is Rory and I've always had a gothic aesthetic style that leans towards stuff like Castlevania. So, naturally a nick like "Gory Rory" just suits me ;)

Well from dealing with Flame, from time to time he does like to "flame" on other Dungeonites whenever it suits him which I think is what his username secretly implies  ;D

My user name was in use long before I ever signed up for the Dungeon. This would've been back prior to '97, when I was still in High school. It was an artist signature for me and somewhat of a nod to my favorite SNES game Mega Man X. I like the letter X for some reason. It's simple yet speaks volume for some.

Ahasverus is the hebrew name of the legendary Character "The Wandering Jew"
Quote
The Wandering Jew is a figure from medieval Christian folklore whose legend began to spread in Europe in the 13th century. The original legend concerns a Jew who taunted Jesus on the way to the Crucifixion and was then cursed to walk the earth until the Second Coming. The exact nature of the wanderer's indiscretion varies in different versions of the tale, as do aspects of his character; sometimes he is said to be a shoemaker or other tradesman, while sometimes he is the doorman at Pontius Pilate's estate.
While I've always find the character fascinating, I read that some people think the Count of Saint Germain to be it.

Yep, it's a reference o the most obsure character in CV history.

Ahaseurus is also a variant name of Xerxes - as in, the same one from the Book of Esther and the Battle of Thermopylae.
