The Origin of my nickname

Well we have to go way back. Some 16 years when a little T.V. show called " Xena: Warrior Princess " came out. Yes, I did watch the entire series from start to finish including " Herclues ". Being a fan of Science Fiction & Fantasy genre it just fit right in. No never mind I also at the time I was still actively playing Dungeons & Dragons Role Playing Game ( RPG ) ~ Shhhh! Really I don't see why people were calling it evil especialy the church(es) from its introduction till the late 90's. People are people & there will always be those who can not separate reallity from fantasy.

So where was I, Oh yes the show Xena. Out of all the episodes I would say about Ooo 1/2 were unrealistic though I enjoyed the show(s) for what they were. Along came one particular episode staring an actress I had never seen before that caught my eye by the name of " Victoria Pratt " http://goo.gl/pybtj for obvious reasons. I am a honorable man / nice guy, but still a guy. The character she potrated " Cyane " in the episode " Sin Trade " an Amazon queen of her tribe got to me.

Cyane

I winded up adopting the name & character into all RPG games I played since then such as:

                     Asherons Call ~ Custom Warrior

                 Asherons Call 2 ~ Bounty Hunter class       

                                Jenquai Defender

                                   Paladin Class

And so Cyane became my nickname in which stuck with me over these last 16 years and now into this thing we call social media Youtube, Twitter & a blog. The use of " Xx  xX " is to ensure I can continue the use of the name & are not apart of the spelling, meaning & should be ignored.
