Brawnfire

When I was a kid, my friend Jonny and I were way into fantasy--D&D, LotR, you name it. When Warcraft II came out, it was HUGE for us. We often played a pretend/roleplaying game where he was an Elven archer, and I was a human footman. One time, we had an "adventure" that required me to play the part of an Orc chieftan. Given the nomenclature of Orcs in Warcraft (Hellscream, Doomhammer, etc.) I crafted the name "Brawnfire", obviously "brawn" and "fire" put together. Like, I dunno, burning muscle.

Anyhow, the weird thing was that this chieftan's backstory was very similar to the one Thrall had in the cancelled Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans. It was different enough, but still so eerily similar that it just creeped me out, because I didn't know about that game or the character until years later when reading about WoW. (I've never played.)

tl;dr pretend orc name
