-Jrabbit, right you are, I got sick of the previous version. And virtually anyone used it capitalized, so...
And, I've been lately thinking of "Andrew Halcyon" or just "Halcyon", Halcyon is a cool word, and Andrew Halcyon is practically an English version of my name.

Moses Presley was born to a Hebrew slave in Egypt. The Pharaoh heard a prophecy that a baby would grow up to rock the masses. As the Pharaoh hated rock n roll and the sin that was associated with it, he ordered that all baby boys be murdered at birth.
Moses Presley's mother had a plan to save him. She hid him in a basket by the Nile River. The Pharaoh's daughter found Moses and took him home to be raised as one of the family. Moses grew up as an Egyptian prince, but he never forgot he was a Hebrew with a love for rock n roll.
One day an Egyptian gang boss grabbed a slave's headphones from his head. The slave had been listening to "That's Alright Mama" on his walkman. Moses Presley saw this, lost his temper and beat the gang boss to death with his guitar. He had to run away. He ran to Memphis, Egypt, where he stayed at the Heartbreak Hotel. Moses Presley was depressed and was feeling sorry for himself, so he drank and smoked his woes away. One night he heard a deep booming voice. It was God speaking to him from a burning cigarette butt. God told him to stop crying all the time. God told him he must spread the word of rock n roll to the people. Moses Presley was now a mission.
Moses Presley returned to the Pharaoh and rocked the house. He played his top ten hits. The Pharaoh thought it was like a plague to his ears. The slaves seeing this screamed loudly and wanted to hear more, but the MC said that, "Moses has left the building."
The people followed him into the desert. Finally after months of travelling, they came to a mountain.
It was Mt. Billboard. Moses Presley climbed to the top of the mountain and wrote songs with God. He was up there for a long time. So long in fact, his people began to become angry and started to worship false gods, The Golden Fab Four. Moses Presley was enraged and threw his songs at the Golden Fab Four, but it was to no avail. The Golden Four stood and the people continued to worship them too.
Epilogue: Moses Presley in the long run prevailed. He kept a place in his people's hearts. One day God came to him in the bathroom and said it was time to go. Moses Presley had left the building for the last time. Thus a prophet and teen idol was born."In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed. But they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

I've done this at least once before. Oh well.
Mr. President was the name of a reggae-dance artist in the mid-90s. He was a dreadlocked guy from the East Coast who made exactly one hit song and then disappeared.
It also refers to an in-joke I used to have with my social group in Tasmania. They would call me "Mr. President" because I was American and we would joke about pressing the Big Red Button and taking out Iraq. Not very clever, is it? But the sound resonated and the name stuck. Perhaps one day someone will call me Mr. President because I actually am the President. I can dream, can't I?
Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.Comment

Boann .........myth of the Irish water-goddess
Legend has it that once the Irish river Boyne did not exist. Instead, there was only a well, surrounded and overhung by nine hazel-trees bearing the sacred crimson hazel-nuts of wisdom. No mortal humans, and no gods, not even the highest gods, were allowed to eat the hazel-nuts. Only the salmon living in the holy well were given this privilege, and as the nuts fell into the water, the salmon would eat them and immediately know all things.
Only Boann, a curious goddess, dared to approach the sacred well, and as she did so, the waters roiled and rose up, overflowing the pool and rushing at Boann in mighty waves. Boann ran swiftly and escaped, but the waters continued to rush out upon the land, creating the river Boyne, named after the lady Boann.
The wise salmon were washed out of their well by this catastrophe and to this day, they swim up and downstream searching in vain for their hazel-nuts."If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun." -Katherine HepburnComment

I was playing an mmrpg(asherons call) and made a new guy. I had rescently lead the largest player organized event in the games history(1,400 people- yes it did lag like a mofo) on the Vesayen island chain. When I made a new guy this was still on my mind and I couldnt think of a name so I named my guy Vesayen........it stuck with me when I went to a few asherons call related message boards, and a friend on one of those boards told me about apolyton, so I brought it with me here.Comment

Wow, the 99ers in this thread are the newbies. So many 69ers. For a fourth time... just so I can post with a multitude of legends...
Lorizael Lomaut the elven conjurer and master of the Grease spell was one of my first characters and by far my favorite. He had so many uses for the grease spell that he... created his own version! And he was the elf in the adventuring group: The Druid, The Elf, and The Dog.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

... those that registered in 1999 or 1969 (though I know they didn't actually register in 1969).
I would have thought people would have asked about The Dog as a member of an adventuring party.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.
