Way cool thread. Thanks nu-be for bringing to the fore :) Bella Morte was the last role playing character I created prior to 1996. Even though my husband had been using the internet for years, I didn't start until 1999 (all his fault that I'm addicted to it LOL) Anyway. We were setting up for another D&D session and I just got a Gazetteer (sp?) on the Indians of the D&D world. I decided that I wanted a btchy type character so I chose the Mayan/Aztex/Incan group (got a little tired of playing sweet virtuous type females LOL). Anyway, their names are death based so my husband chose Bella Morte = Lady Death or Beautiful Death. We then got Vampire: The Masquerade and I decided to transfer into that game setting so she became a vampire. We were in the setting up stages when circumstances forced us to put rpg on the shelves. Then I got involved in the internet and I had to use something but I didn't want to use my everyday name so here I am. Mind you, I could have gotten away with using my true name as it is strange enough but I hate it because no one pronounces it correctly and that just pssed me right off so it got shortened to Kay (that is what I am known as now to all but my family). The other reason why I use Bella Morte is because she allowed me to be something that I am not. Outgoing and straight forward. In reality I am shy and reserved. Not that you can tell on the internet here LOL Sorry for the epic. I now return you to your regular scheduled programme ;)
