This Is Too Cool; My P.C.'s Name in The Giant's Comic!!!!

[Jasdoif]

Lastly, the Kotor name, along with Malak, caused quite a bit of stir among forumgoers, as many saw it as continuing the Star Wars referencing that only happened in, like, a few strips with the Linear Guild. It even made The Giant comment that he had never played the games, if I recall.

That's correct.

I've never played Knights of the Old Republic. The name was originally going to be Malachi, but I decided at the last minute that I didn't want names that were too closely related to any real-world religion. So I dropped the "hi" and slapped on a "k", which happily gave me a unique name.

And his "friend" Kotor was just random. I picked sounds that sounded like an ancient Conan-type warrior to me.
