== Thoric ==
(From the Germanic name '''Th'''eod'''oric''' meaning "Great Leader", from which the name '''Derek''' ''— my name —'' is derived).

Originally a name from a (now lost) short story I wrote in high school, I used the name as a handle to play [[MUD]]s in college, and kept it when I started my own MUD -- [[Realms of Despair]] (a [[SMAUG]] MUD).  Hence Thoric is the god that created the game.

When I originally was conceiving the name, it was a cross of [[Thorin Oakenshield|Thorin]] and [[Yorick]].  It wasn't until a couple years ago that I realized it works rather well as a derivative of Theodoric.
