I am constantly asked why I am called Darkavich. First off, the name is pronounced \'daHrk-e-'vich\.

I was given this name after playing a very long session of Dungeon & Dragons(tm). I had a 9th level fighter-cleric that was half Human and half Orcish. "Nice combo don't you think?"

It was a pretty boring adventure that we were on. Being of neutral-evil alignment, I decided to go around the town shutting off all the oil lamps. This caused me to get the nickname DARK

Later in my role-playing carrer, I started playing Top Secret(tm). My character was a russian agent and I had to make my nickname sound more russian, so I added the avich.

Now aren't you glad you asked?
