People started calling me Ryoken many many years ago because i used Ryoken Battle mechs in Battletech all the time, and still do. So been using the name for over 20 years now as a nickname, and game name.

Funny you should mention that, cause thats EXACTLY what I imagined when I saw your name for the first time.
Charcoal- I like the sound of that word. I got the idea from accidentally setting fire to stuff at work using Oxy-Acetylene. If I wasn't called Charcoal on the forums, I would go with Acetylene. I once did have a character called Acetylene but I deleted it long ago. I still have Charcoal, my first bomber.
On a side note, I am a firebug. Not a forest fire type, more the blowtorch marshmellows type. Also, even though English is my first language, I have a hard time spelling words. Feel free to keep any spelling mistakes you find.

Haha. Whats wrong with being a firebug? My fav way to light a camp fire involves 2-3 litres of high octane gasoline.

So...some 25 years ago I was camping with these Hippies in the woods of North Alabama....and this one dude had this dog, and this dog fell off a cliff and into a lake and climbed up on some rocks....So...we could hear the dog barking, but could not find him...for hours we looked...But we ruled out it being down by the water because of how high and steep the cliff was.....But I'm convinced that I hear it barking......So, I let my self down this very very steep slope...find the Dog...and somehow manage to bring him back up to its thankful owner...
With tears in his eyes and a cold budwieser in his hand he passed me a big fat HogLeg and said "Brother...you are one of the last of the Ozone Rangers."
When I was on my laptop mini, I had to think of some name that sounded well rounded and at least, catchy. I looked down at my ASPIRE one laptop and said....Hey! A Spire. Adam Spire
Aren't I clever?
Sometimes, when all you want is to gain your freedom, you must be willing to risk it all.
