I've toldt thid before somwhere, but i'll do it again:

ok, i'm a starwars nut, have read tons of the books saw all the movies ect ect. so, I read the Han Solo trillogy (good books btw) in them, Han meets up with a kid who claims to be related to him, Jarik Solo. (my name is Jake, so you can see where this is going) i realy liked the name Jarik. now about this time, i go off to college. i get a gob at the local supermarket and a coworker invites me to Gamenight at the school. (this is a fundraser put on by the computer science club, pay 2 $ and play all the games you want, good stuff like quake and battlefield and starwars jedi knight outcast 2) so i tag along. i used Jarik for my name in quake there, (first FPS i evr played lol). so now i started being on the internet more (free at college) so i found a game called equinox (cool ilttle text based rpg, its gone now, the server it was hosted on got hacked so much the owner closed it down) i called myself Jarik there also. had a lot of fun, and met some realy great people. and had my first encounter with somone being more than one person on the internet (can you say, i got in a war with a IRC operator? the people who show up when you type /help and are admin in every channel on the network they run) so anyway, once i quit that game, i played free flash games for bloody ever, (i found a good site, and started a quest to play every game on it, (it was a index basicly, linked to games)) so while here, i found a link to a game called RuneScape (oo00oooh.. here it comes) the screenshot looked cool, it was multiplayer, and free (this was back in rs1 days) so i checked it out. at the create new acount step, i found that Jarik was taken. nonono2.gif so, i sat back, and thought. i wanted to keep with the starwars theme'd names, and so i needed a last name (and there was no way i was gonna be jarik 123456 or whatever) so i was thinking about how the last names of characters in the starwars books where usualy weid stuff like kel'treka or sal-solo or tr'ek'ea so i arbitraraly created C-Bol and its stuck ever since (i'm one of the few people i know with a last name on the internet, most people just have 1 name)

fun fact!:
Jarik C-Bol is so much a part of me, i've nearly signed checks with it lol

my other name is Jalroth which i created to sound good for a warior giant in a game that sucked. i use if for KOL, my RS pure, and WoW.
