Darth Rapine is my first ever character on SWTOR. (I used a thesaurus to find the name - synonymous with plunder or rob). I played him the most, got him the farthest, and built a legacy around that surname. It came naturally to me to use that for a handle here.  I dropped the Darth in favour of Lord for personal reasons.  |

In French, "Rapine" is a word that means looting  |

Oh F... i just verified all the meaning of "rape" and it appears that the most used in english is not the one i thought. The one i thought means "spoil or destroy a place". Sorry about that man ... and too late to edit my post ... so point as reparation So, Seblaise is a mix between my first name and the nickname my friends have given to me for 30 years |

LOL... I'm lame. Benji is just what my friends call me, a shortened form of Benjamin. Although in the context of the forum it could possibly have ties to Obi-Wan.
Had thought about using the name of a story character that was derived from a foreign language, but I decided against it.

The french version: Sébastien My youngest was going to be Sebastian, but my wife changed his name at the hospital. Lord Looter? Sounds too much like Roto-Rooter...lol Rapine. 0 Lol! You might have a business there. Lightsaber shaped plungers! LOL... I'm lame. Benji is just what my friends call me, a shortened form of Benjamin. Although in the context of the forum it could possibly have ties to Obi-Wan.

It's all good. Could've been an awkward story, like, I really liked the Benji dog from that TV show. That'd be weird. Point Benji! |

Benji isn't lame - although, it does inspire memories of a certain quadrupedal mammal. Which name? If you don't mind sharing. |
