Question of the Day
Why did you choose your character's name?

Logan: I have always liked the name Logan and one of my cousins names is Logan.
Juliette: Juliette is just an alternate spelling of Juliet, Shakespeare was something I would read a lot when I was younger and still love watching Shakespeare plays.
Baird: I could not think of a last name for Logan and just googled Scottish last names.

Opeila was the name I used for characters since I was 12 years old and I have a strong emotional connection to it. When I last used it in a German RPG when I was 15, I decided to let Opeila rest since I tended to repeat certain patterns with her and was quite dependent on those patterns. Well, and then I decided to give her another chance on hio, which I don't regret at all, this is by far the best developed version of her I have ever played.
For the longest time I thought this was a name from the book series Eragon, until I realized that the name in that book was Opheila. Sooo, I guess Opeila is my own creation after all XD

Sezuna is a name Opeila chose. After she had to take a new name, she took the first two letters of her former surname, which was Seilun and put them into a name she found to be unique. This connects her to her grandmother and mother who loved unique names.

Seilun is actually my own creation XD It picked it very randomly when I was 12, finding that it sounded nice.

Winters is the name Opeila took when she had to start hiding. This was because she was adopted by the Winter family to blend in, but when the player I had this topic with went inactive, I kept the name anyway. Opeila was treated quite badly and lied to a lot by both sides of her family, as she will find out later on and the name will actually help her to create an emotional distance and finally find the strength to forgive both her family and herself.
