Some names for characters, or just the characters themselves, have funny histories. I'm going two of mine right here. This is how Zeke and Blake got their names, both from one of my best friends, Simba. (Well, that's not her real name, but that's her nickname. That and CC. XD)
My mom loves wolves. Simba loves wolves (almost as much as Lion King.... but not quite). And so, when my friend first walked into a room full of wolf decor, she was absolutely in heaven. One of these such things was the statue of a gray-brown wolf cub at play that sat by our fireplace. During my sleepover party, she named that statue. And his name was Zeke.
The name stuck, and that's the statue's (who has since been very mortally wounded =( ) name. Well, about a year later, I began online roleplaying just like this 'cept on Neopets (I'd already been playing D&D for a while). After a while, I was inspired by our Zeke, affectionately called Zekey boo, to create the lupine friend of mine now known also as Zeke. (Who originally spent his spare time watching Dukes of Hazzard reruns. Don't ask. It's the type of roleplay, you see...)
And then there were two. Because, you see, Blake came along. I had a multitude of characters by the time I'd made Zeke, and even more with Blake. (Many were for fanfictions, which was Blake's original purpose, and have since been destroyed.) And Tier was with them. The YuYuHakusho roleplays and fanfics stated that she was a demon who used to love a guy called Nolen. Nolen's worst fear had been of Tier forgetting him (they'd been parted for awhile) something (I don't remember what) happened to he and Terrace, Terrace then lashed out and caused his fear to come true. Tier couldn't even acknowledge his existence anymore, so affected was her psyche.
There was a boy (who I'll admit I fancied at the time) at our school by the name of Blake. He signed my t-shirt. (Off topic, I know.) One day I was over Simba's house, and she had THE COOLEST ever doll, a giant white tiger. (I love animals, but I was totally tiger-obsessive then. Kind of still sort of am.) She offered to let me name it, and all of her stuffed animals were always named after guys she or her friend liked. Therefor, the tiger was named Blake. My other friend Cheyenne gave me a tiger doll as well, a medium orange beanie one. This, too, was then named Blake. They were twins named Blake and Blake. XD. So, anyhow, then I had to make a character named Blake who was also a tiger and, since it was YYH, a demon (notice he's no longer said creature). Thus Blake was first born, and has since been modified multiple times. Originally he had a romance with Tier. It was the kind of romance you'd expect someone like them to have. Really random, too. The reason they started going out was that, after a week of torturing each other in their school hallways, Blake suddenly kissed her, out of the blue, out of nowhere. And then they were an item. (She made his life a living hell.)
And now, here we are, with the madeover and refurbished Zeke and Blake. Hehe.
