Well, I see no apparent other reason to update, so I guess I'll tell you the story behind Fier, because it's a truly epic tale.

After the first Smash Bros. came out, I became a big fan of Kirby; I drew him aaaall the damn time, and started to buy all his old games.

My big favorite of all of them was Kirby's Superstar for the SNES. I loved all the different Kirbies for each power, my favorite of all being, as expected, Fire Kirby. As a power he wasn't that fun to play; I was more a fan of beam, mirror, sword, but fire was the coolest looking for me.

Plus, there was this online Kirby fansite I was getting into called Rainbow Resort, and the forums already had a Plasma and Ice Kirby, so, hey, there I was, Fire Kirby.

After a while, a friend of mine drew my "character" with the words "Fier..." superimposed. It stuck. It hasn't changed as much... For my City of Heroes character, Fier was taken, so I just tacked on something and called him "Fiergon"

Another one of my old names was Washiko; This was when I was into anime a bit. I had started talking to a friend on MSN and opened up with "Washoop?!" As a new and interesting (read: unfunny) way to say "What's up?" He thought it sounded like a brand of soft drink.

I remember waaaaay back, I joined CokeMusic, which was like HabboHotel only less interesting and free. My name was Washikoman, combining Washoop and Kikkoman brand soy sauce; the name was shortened to Washiko, and eventually dropped all together because it had an acute case of lame.
