Mine is a plane one too. I have been using this for everywhere since 1998. name Murat Ahat, so murataht appeared to be a sort of 8 character abbreviation of my full name. not very imaginative.

Well loong story short...

I am/was a RPG gamer back in my miguided happy youth... The first ever role-playing game I ever played... well, I dabbled with D&D no not AD&D back in highschool in 79-83, but yes later I did play AD&D....as a young adult.

When I went to college, some friends of mine were playing a fairly new game "RuneQuest" which I started playing. My first character was a sniveling little theif named Malek named after a character from an episode of "HE-Man: Masters of the Universe". Well he died a miserable death.... so for my second toon, I reversed the name to Kelam and surname of Magnus, since he was a Troll and Magnus seemed ominous and threatening...

In recent years of the inception of online message boards I kept the name as my screen name. Sometimes run together or with an underbar Kelam_Magnus.

Ergo Kelam Magnus was born, circa fall 1985.

And now you know "the REST of the Story"

And no, my name is not Bob!
