Many, many years ago.....before the internet when indepentant servers ran the world, the FIRST online multi player game was the original Neverwinter Nights on AOL (used a brand new 2400 baud modem......yes THAT long ago). It was an Advanced Dungeons and Dragons game. I had taken the name from two of my friends characters from our actual pencil, graph paper, and dice game, Halfling thief Tar Joggs and and Dwarven Fighter Ander Ritan.
I created an elf thief/magic user who was a smart ass and a pervert (something never change), and joined a guild of elves called The Grey Company where I was the XO (called 1st LT). Little did I know, the name Tar in elvish means Prince, and it unwittingly opened all kinds of doors for roleplaying (my first real experience). Over the years, the name just stuck.
I got mine from an old SW gaming clan I belonged to. And I use it on most other sites too. Sometimes without the underlines and one big blob.
