"Frigidchill" comes from the Metallica song Blackened, from the line " Callous frigid chill" back from in my metal days. Basically my mate had a gaming name and I needed a steady one to start gaming. And this one stuck. I've had a lot of good gaming on this name.

A saddle tank is a type of steam engine, common in Britain in the late 1800s but went out of use mostly by the 1920s. One of my other hobbies is an interest in railway history.
As you can see the tank that holds the water sits over the boiler like a saddle sits on a horse.

Yes I was particularly curious about your name. Interesting.

My name means absolutely nothing, it just came to me one day and I used it ever since. Lots of people seem to confuse it with "the one" thinking I'm a Matrix fan or something.

Look up "orphic" in the dictionary, then look up "okapi."
And no, I did not come up with my name while under the influence of illegal substances, as convincing as that theory may seem.

I named a random cat Chef because he just looked like the epitome of one to me for some odd reason.
Everyone else I knew thought it was a really dumb name, but I became rather attached to him and would call him that anyway when no one was in earshot.
I ended up having to get rid of him unwillingly, and I decided to pick his name for this forum.

HSA stands for 'Home Slice Alliance' a clan i belong to, and Moro, should be somewhat straight forward

Mushka is a nickname that my grandmother gave me when I was little. I picked it for the forum because it was a softening of "Muska", for that Ghibli connection.

Yeah I remembered your name when I watched Laputa for the first time yesterday. I wasn't sure if it was a completely direct connection to Muska or a wierd coincidence. The latter it seems.

Ha, I always assumed it was Mushka as in a spelling variant of the Ghibli character. I did wonder why a person would have a username named after a power crazed paedophile murdering psycopath but I was too polite to ask.
I'm so glad the name is a co-incidence though... I feel much better now.

Haha... yes, sorry for the confusion. I suppose I should have made it clear sooner. Good thing this thread came up, I guess
