Why Hello Thar

  Who is Arrak?  Arrak is a pseudonym, an avatar, an identity that was created seven years ago after the unfortunate death of one Hume Male named Skeiron (Final Fantasy XI for those of you unfamiliar the fact that Blizzard didn't create the MMORPG genre).  My friends wanted a tank to help them through the early days of Warcraft and it just so happened, warrior was the only class any good at it.  So Arrak, the cow warrior was created.  And likewise, Arrak, the online personality was created.  Arrak is simply a way of identifying myself to the everyday browsers of this vast cyberspace.  Outside of the digital world... I'm actually not all that different.  But you can call me Danny.
  How do you pronounce Arrak?   Does it sound like a country we're still occupying like a hippy in New York.  Or do you put more emphasis on the 'A'?  Is it pronounced completely different?  Honestly... I don't know or care.  You can say it how you want.  Why did I name the character 'Arrak'?  Arrak, Amal, Avalang, and Aldyn: four characters from a story that's been in my mind since high school.
