      Too lazy to do that, really. Anyways...

      Lorizael Lomaut, Elven Wu Jen Conjurer from AD&D. Most famous for mastering the Grease spell and even creating his own version, Lorizael's Grease, which got better as he advanced.

      Lorizael was one of my first characters. He's still my favorite, and he's also the most asinine.

      I thought I came up with the name Lorizael all by myself but eventually discovered that I'd subconsciously stolen it from the second edition Eldar Codex, in which a piece of colour details the story of a jetbiker bearing the name.

      Being my favorite and one of my first characters, I used the name all over the place online until it was replaced by other things. I've been too lazy to change my handle on Apolyton to update my more recent trends, and when I attempted to get Ming to change it he got drunk and forgot.

      The end.

                      My origins are similar. Rat and Wezil were a pair of 1/2ling thieves.

                      Much later the names were reused for a pair of pet ferrets.

                              Have or should've if you want to contract it to a more spoken form. Can't anyone speak the damn language correctly?

                                Provost Harrison is Brit slang for, " I can't drive for squat".
