Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Well, peeps be curious about my username apparently... So uh! Here it is!

1. I have an OC called Des.
2. I was using her in a Harry Potter RP.
3. Therefore, I wanted to tweak her name so that it would be wizardy, fancy and British. "Desdemona" is the fanciest thing you can make out of Des.
4. I got "Winchcombe" off of a surnames listing site under the "England" section. Winchcombe is apparently a town in England. I don't remember why I picked it... I probably just liked the way the two names sounded together.
5. It looked nicer than my previous usernames, which were "desudesuyo", and then later "D-E-A-T-H! desu!" or something like that.

Both of which were puns on the name "Des" because if you write it out in Katakana, it becomes DE-SU, which are the same Katakana used when the Japanese are spelling out the English word "Death" (as in DESU NOOTO, see?) and then, "desu" is just a polite way of ending a sentence and "desu yo" is saying it emphatically.

So Desudesuyo = I AM VERY MUCH DES, or I AM VERY MUCH DEATH, or something like that

The D-E-A-T-H! one is a bit more of an injoke about the same thing, but with 100% more Yu-Gi-Oh. In this scene of Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh, Bakura is explaining about how his Ouija board will spell out "D-E-A-T-H." Yugi repeats this, spelling and then says ... "DEATH!?!" Except that he is Japanesey so he said "DESU!?"

WHICH MEANS CLEARLY

He said "D-E-A-T-H? .... DES!?"

D-e-a-t-h = Des. It certainly does.

.... But Desdemona Winchcombe sounds very fancy and literate, so I don't regret not being Deathdesu on the Gaias.

OH MY GOD IT'S STILL THERE

So that I can clean up my subscribed threads of dead RPs while still keeping the record of ones that I rather liked~

PRIVATE - Duelist of the Roses

Pokemon Nuuyoh: Dance of Dimensions

[THE REAPER'S GAME] The World Ends With You

Error


He wears a grey, faded jacket, gloves, and grey pants. His boots are warn and old, with an odd colourless quality to them. His eyes a grey, and he's got a mess of white hair, which falls around his face, often covering his eyes. His skin is incredibly pale, and seems nearly unnatural. The only skin he shows is his face, the rest is covered by clothing. His gaunt, thin body gives him a strange appearance. He occasionally twitches slightly, without reason or warning. He speaks in a grey, monotone voice, and seems to have no sense of empathy.

Ilyana

A well-proportioned girl always tredding around in the Terra uniform. Her riley, dirty-blonde hair flipps out in all directions as it peeps out from under her Terra (yay team spirit!) beanie. Her eyes a deep hazel that blend with her tanned complextion.

Jack

Jack is of average hight wearing a white shirt underneath a brown overcoat with blue jean pants. He has black hair with spikes pointing to his right, and a white rectangular sticker on his left cheek.

Kova

Hair: Crimson red shoulder length hair with his bangs parted slightly on the right covering his left eye, The rest of his hair is just straightened down
Eyes: Left is a pale blue (almost white) as his right is red.
Skin: Due to his amount of time spent inside and out at night, he has grown to a quite pale white.
Height: 5''10
Weight: 127lbs

Leon

He is a gangly young man, standing at about 6 foot, but only weighing around 150. He has long black hair, and as glistening blue eyes. However, he wears red contacts. People say that looking into his eyes when he wears his contacts is like looking into the eyes of the devil, but to look into his blue eyes is like looking into an angel's eyes.

Matteo


He's got dirty blond hair and striking green eyes, and stands roughly at 5'5. He wears a pair of beat-up jeans, and a green shirt that's faded away until the color is nearly unseeable. He seems to be small, slouching quite a bit. The msot interesting part of his appearance is the fact that there's an Abra that sits on his head. It sleeps there most of the time, and only moves when he lays down, or another circumstance forces him off. He's also smaller than the average Abra, and is nearly feather-light.
