1) How you thought of their name?
2) what made you create the character in the first place?
3) how the character has changed over time? (if they have changed)
4) any random fun fact about that character?

Character is Bokor D'aak!

1. The good Bokor has two names, his real name and his alias that all now know him by. His true name is Christopher Vallandingham. Its origins and the names of his family mentioned in his profile all come from an amalgam of names and individuals from my native home of Beaufort. Most of the names are from persons of some influence in the area while Chris takes his first name from a local cook and his last name from the retired director of alcohol and drug abuse in Beaufort. His alias, Bokor D'aak, is taken from some voodoo terms and the local Gullah language. Bokor is a term for a Voodoo priest or sorcerer who "serves the loa with both hands," meaning they are able to use both the so termed white and black magics. D'aak is simply gullah for Dark. I originally going to name him Doctor Heron after the local tradition of Witch/Root Doctors to take an animal mantel, but I decided to go with Bokor because I liked the sounds of it.

2. Originally I made the character as a part of a RP board where the characters are meant to grow and change as you write, with more writing allowing one more capability to change. Chris started as a simple tattoo artist who liked to cook and practiced voodoo on the side. I had made him because I wanted to create a character that could have some relation to the area I come from and bring an interesting twist into the RP.

3. Well, in his original creation D'aak was a fairly simple fellow who had some hedonistic tendency who slowly evolved into a force of sheer evil and terror. For some time he hwas one of my favorite villain characters and used him in various incarnations for this purpose. Eventually I toned him down and changed him into a lesser demon who was associated with greed and lust and introduced him into the world called Nether City. In this incarnation, he was manipulative, hedonistic, and had a slight evil incline but it was also where he met Bludworth. Through the two had a rocky start they eventually become business partners. In his most current incarnation, he is a combo of his older and newer self with a little bit more humanity thrown in.

4. D'aak loves spicy stuff. He collects hot sauces of various kinds and even grows his own peppers. The hottest of his peppers are an attraction at the Carnival by itself, with individuals of all types trying to see how long they can possibly last. The current record holder is Lord Vanzetti, the richest man in Nether, who is, unbeknown to most, a golem and thus a big fat cheater >:C
