Atrus' character names WITH PIKSHURZ
Atrus:
Atrus was the name of a protagonist in the mind-f'ing game known as Myst . It was a cool game that i spent waaaaay too much time on about 8 years ago. I have yet to beat Riven or Exile

Samsara (my original character, Priest):
Samsara is a Buddhist reference that means-
sam·sa·ra /səmˈsɑrə/ Pronunciation Key -[suhm-sahr-uh]
1. Buddhism. the process of coming into existence as a differentiated, mortal creature. Compare nirvana (def. 1).
2. Hinduism. the endless series of births, deaths, and rebirths to which all beings are subject. Compare nirvana (def. 2).
It seemed to be an appropriate name given the class of my character but it has been my online alias for some time now since playing Neverwinter Nights.

In NWN, i played on a progressive world RP server (PWRP) that had a rich community and amazing world to play in (each server's "world" is different).

Because Gold was so badly needed to level up your character, i naturally made a rogue and would go charge people a "tax" to make it through one of the noobie zones or risk having their characters getting killed (perma-death server). After building up a name for myself as jackass numero uno of the server, a vigilante guild contacted me and gave me two options: join them or have my intestines fed to me. Easy choice.

When i was inducted into the guild, the GMs had my name erased and my new name was given to me by the leader: Samsara. It was kind of a small twist of irony that as a thief i was now playing a thief catcher (or "Wannabe Batman" as the thieves guild called us) so my character was "reborn" in that sense. Eventually my character was betrayed and murdered by a "contact" within a shipping company that my guild was investigating, i could go into details but i'm sure i'm boring you as it is.
The Contact chick (Katarina) and Samsara; yes i'm a man-slut (she drew it)

The name stuck with me and it's usually my alias in any game or forum with the exception of WoW due to rerolling twice after playing my priest.
