I remember telling Christian I knew exactly what game he was playing with the Fluffy Kittens moniker. Not quite the polar opposite he said it was.

One guy goes through an entire team? I've seen something similar in a different sport.

The first few lines of William Gibson's Neuromancer gave me the idea.

My username... Well, that's actually kind of a funny story. I was really into the occult when I was growing up, and I found this book in an antique shop while on a road trip with some friends (we were going to stay at one of my friend's uncle's cabin in the woods). Anyway, I was just starting to learn Latin (which many excerpts from the book were written in, though honestly it changed languages every other page), so I decided to try to translate the passages, and... You know, this is probably boring you guys to tears. Nevermind.

I looked your name up on a whim one day, and concluded that it's some kind of reference to Rudolf Steiner.

Well, since you showed an interest, it's actually a bastardized form of Phanuel, the name of the ruler of the Wheels of Life (The Ophanim) in strange and non-canonical traditions of Judeo-Christianity. They're a mysterious "Fourth Archangel", and killing demons is their business. Like I said, I was really into the occult when I was younger (even though I'm not a religious person at all. Go figure).

Hey, no problem. I getcha. In 4th grade when everyone was doing reports on things like sports hero's, comic book characters, or the current president, I did a book report on the origin and history of the Ankh.
