FrozNlite (200 F/P ArchMage): First ever character, and clearly played through the end of my days on this game with it. I found out about MapleStory when I was playing Metroid Prime: Hunters online with two forum guilds, with one particular forum discussing the game on a random thread. The OP of said thread was discussing how he had a Lv. 74 Dragon Knight, and people were reveling in how awesome that was (it was; this is GMS June 2006, mind you), and I figured I'd give the game a try.
So a few weeks later, at the end of July, I finally downloaded the game at midnight and figured I'd play for an hour or so and see if I liked it. Four hours later I finally had to log off since I had pomegranate to do the next day, but was loving the free, explorative feel of the RPG that I knew I'd be playing it again.
Since I initially didn't know if I would be continuing with the game, when I asked to create a character name, I just borrowed what I was using in MPH at the time. Unfortunately, "Fr[]zNlite" was unusable because of the brackets, so I simply put in the "o," and "FrozNlite" was born.
And, yes, the original inspiration for the MPH name was the neat idea of a cold so powerful it could freeze light itself. The catalyst for coming up with all of this was a friend of mine from the MPH GameFAQs boards who played Sylux in game (uses electric weaponry), and whose IGN for the game was "Sh[]ckwave." Since I was a highly respect Noxus player (uses ice weaponry), combine all of the above and you'll get my MPH IGN.
PoIarium (133 Aran): Soon-to-be Aran's name, once I (a) decide to play this game ever again, and (b) have enough for a character name change. This is the name of one of the coolest Nintendo DS release games, the tile-flipping puzzle game Polarium, which had a neat feel to it with the game itself and the unusually cool, chill electronic background music. A few years ago I decided I'd make a NL since I was disenchanted by their single target DPS power as compared to that of a LOLFP, so when trying to choose a name for the would-be star thrower, I stumbled upon the game and felt it fit perfectly for my idea of the character. Sadly it was taken, so I had to do the old switch a capital I for an l.
The NL was a Lv. 63 sin that I quit for later classes and life itself was deleted, and the name saved on a mule for my Aran, which, after it became my official 2nd class, I realized would be ironically appropriate for the name, being a pole-bearing warrior.
AdmiralRum (48 Mechanic): I wanted to create a name reflecting leadership, oceanic themes, and whatever else I felt appropriate, so decided upon Admiral (I also LOVE Admiral Ackbar), and rum is my favorite liquor, and one of Jack Sparrow's iconic punch line's, so voila! The name was born. It's definitely better for a gunslinger (which is what the character was originally to be), but then Mechanic's were released and they're awesome, and still a Pirate class, so I switched the name on over.
