  • It’s a very nerdy one.

    In Final Fantasy XIV, there’s a race of little dudes named Lalafell. Their naming scheme makes for repeated and rhyming couples between the first and last name.

    I made a Lalafell boy years ago named Cocozan Cozan.

    After playing for a bit, my wife’s character and mine got married. I decided to change my character’s last name to hers, so the Cozan was gone. We always joked about the height difference, though, since I was a little guy and she was a taller race. So I joked about making the tallest character I could, which I believed at the time to be a female Roegadyn.

    We quit playing for a while and then returned to the game a few years later.

    When we came back, I decided it was time for a change and used an item that lets you change your appearance permanently. I ended up finding an old saved appearance from when I was joking about Fem Roegadyn, and just went with it.

    The name Cocozan was no longer appropriate, given the lore, but I found out I could drop the Zan and it would fit fine.

    So I became Coco.

    It was absolutely amazing being called Coco and she/her by folks online. It wasn’t the only thing that did it, but the whole thing absolutely helped crack my very thick egg.

    I ended up stealing my character’s name IRL, and now I have a very nerdy origin story.

    The thing that gets me is how often this sort of thing is happening all around us without us noticing. Every online purchase is bound to be doing this in some form or another. Every plane ticket, every uber ride. All designed to figure out the exact cost we’re willing to pay for the service.

    I’m so tired of capitalism…






  • I waffled back and forth on retiring my main character for the end of Endwalker and using my free fanta to change things up. Decided to stick with my femroe, though, and bring her “out of retirement” as it were.

    My first plan will probably be to check out Viper and Pictomancer to see if they feel like I’d vibe with them, and then will likely start MSQ stuff a bit after the initial rush has died down. Will likely stick with RDM primary with SGE secondary for the MSQ.
