I'm a private pilot. I prefer Piper aircraft, but the name "Piper" has too many other meanings. (One who plays bagpipes, for instance.)

[Captain Blake]

Captain Alex Blake was an NPC in my FASA Next Gen campaign (back when he was a newly minted Lt Jg security officer concurrent with first season). I used him as a XO (Cmdr) and romantic interest in a PBEM I ran about 4 years ago. When I bought the Lug books about 6 months ago, I converted him over and gave him a promotion (officer attrition thanks to the war).

YOU HAVEN'T EARNED THE RIGHT TO ASK ME ABOUT MY NAME, SO ASSUME THE POSITION AND GIMME TWENTY!

Cessna, what kind of Pipers do you like? I used to own a '50 PA-20 Pacer. Classic fabric-covered taildragger with four seats and a 125 hp O-290. Jeez, I wish I hadn't had to sell it.

[Dan Stack]

I checked my birth certificate...

I used to use the handle "Breschau of Livonia" back in the dark ages of BBS-ing. That comes from an incredibly obscure Sandman character who refused to leave Hell when Lucifer was closing shop.

[Hugh Casey]

My original handle out here was HughBorg. My real name is the one you see.

The day that "I, Borg" first aired, I got a TON of phone calls from friends saying "WE ARE HUGH"! It's very cool to have a Trek character named after you.

Hugh... formerly of Da' Borg

Sounds like a nice 'plane! I have yet to fly a taildragger. (Go ahead and mock me...)

My personal favorite is the PA28-181 with the 180hp engine. I flew them a lot when I lived in California. I still have a soft-spot for Archers and Warriors.

Now that I'm living in Colorado, I wouldn't fly anything less than a Cessna 182 with a Turbo - the air is just too thin for anything less.

H. Tarlana is Captain Haleanar Tarlana of the USS Odysseus NCC-1978, Pegasus Class
She's a long time character of mine dating back to the days of FASA Trek.

[Lee T]

Lee Troyer is the name of one of my favorite character I played for years (in Star Wars WEG). I was already using it as my nick for every computer games I played.

When I had first contact with this community on the famous #LUGtrek channel a year ago I naturally typed "Lee Troyer" in the nick box of the java applet on former LUG site. BUT the name was too long it was written as "Lee_Troy" and I didn't wanted the Troy nick to be mixed with some ST characters and I reduced it to Lee T.

When I joined this forum I wanted to be recognised by my chatroom friends and used the same nick.

End of story .

P.S: I would like to thank for my first net birthday all the guys on #LUGtrek who, a year ago, welcomed the french guy and explained him all about the net and gave him plenty of advice regarding trek stuff on the webb.

[Anarchy Bob]

Got my handle from the song Anarchy Bob at the Mayo Clinic from Boris The Sprinkler's album, 8 Testicled Pogo Machine.

How's that for obscure?

[Perrryyy]

It happens to be my real first name (minus 2 r's and 2 y's), and the name I used in Excite chat/Talk city when I was there.

[Owen E Oulton]

Uncle's first name, father's middle name, and the lack of a period after the initial is due to the first iteration of the TrekRPG.net Discussion Boards refusing to accept any non alphanumeric characters...

[SIR SIG]

Well my real name is Sigmund Seldan and I was knighted 5 years ago!

Well I do have a NPC/PC named SIRSIG aka Sigmund Seldan.

But actually SIG is a contraction of my sirname (Sigley) and became my nickname way back when I was knee high to a grasshopper.

So the SIG has stuck so much that its my name in most regards except official stuff. Heck even my parents and mates families call me SIG. Well perhaps not my parents all the time

And the Sir was a natural addition....

Not a vital system! What the heck do you think stops the ship going 'poof' every time it goes to warp?

[Gamethyme]

My nick should be fairly obvious -- I don't like to do anything just like everyone else does.

When I put up my Webzine for it's first (and so far only) issue a year ago, I called it Gamethyme. The tagline was, "Add some flavor to your game."

We even had a Gamer Cooking Column ... because that's part of the Greater Gaming Experience.

(It's still up, BTW, http://www.foxfyre.net/gamethyme )

Currently, I'm re-working the page, and will eventually upload a whole lotta stuff.

Or so I keep telling myself.
