Uuh Ric... because it's my name
Actually my name is Richard, short for that is, Rick and everyone always called me Rick. I decided when I was 4 years old that since there is no 'K' in Richard I would not use it to spell 'Rick' so I adopted 'Ric' as my name. So there is the story of why I spell it that way. I wish I could have copyrighted it, now lots of people spell it that way, influenced solely by me, I am the origional inventor of this way of spelling my name, damn theives. I could not think of anything better when I origionally signed up at N'dose before coming to GT all those years ago.
I have also used as a screen name for forums and online in the past:
Kamaro - The dancing guy from Zelda MM.
Gabora - The giant blacksmith in MM.
Cojiro - The blue cuccoo (chicken) in Zelda OOT. I still have this account registered on GT, I was gonna change my name once but decided not to.
And the one I have often thought about changing my GT name to, the one I use as what I call my 'computer game name' is Asmodeus.
I use Asmodeus a lot. I pretty much will forever now too.
So when you are online and/or playing games look out for 'Asmodeus' it could be me
There are lots of sources which this name could have come from. There are also lots of different things that say what Asmodeus means. The demon king - The God of Wrath and Vengence etc but I got it from an old book from the Redwall series. It was the name of an evil king, adder snake, that lived in a cave.
EDIT: I just remembered I used to use 'Kamaro' for playing Runescape, I used 'SlayingBlade' for this too.
