    My name comes from the Dune universe, "Kralizec", in the Fremen language it means more or less 'apocalypse'. I think it's mentioned the first time in book 3, Children of Dune. I thought it sounded cool, and I needed a new name...

    My old name, Germaanse Strijder, I picked for the purpose of playing Call of Duty and BF1942. I usually played Axis and it means 'germanic warrior' (not in the national sense)
    However due to the nature of the name, I figured people mightl associate me with things I absoletly don't have anything to do with

    When I first came here, I lurked a few weeks. One day someone asked a question in the Tech Dojo that I actually knew the answer to, so I had to pick a name in order to post.

    Looking around, I saw other guys with names related to weapons (Sword-this, Blade-that, katana-so-and-so). To 'fit-in' here, I picked a weapon that no one had chosen yet - a kukri. And later added "khan", to relate to the rumored Mongol Invasion expansion pack.

    I played S:TW MP as 'Taiko', then 'kukri'.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    The essence of a name's power is in it's mystery.
    "Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."

    Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton.
