Project Sylpheed is a 3D space shooting released from square enix in 2006. The game features themselves and graphics were pretty cool but plot is typical and obsolete. The main character : **Katana Faraway** is obviously named from Japanese traditional sword ( 刀 : Katana ). ( Just FYI, in Japanese edition, Faraway had been pronounced as ā€œFalĒwei: | ćƒ•ć‚”ćƒ©ć‚¦ć‚§ć‚¤ā€ which is faraway from the original pronounce of faraway, so that I never notice that itā€™s a transcription of ā€œfarawayā€ for a long time. ) Heā€™s talented but a immature teenager apprentice pilot in the Terra Central Armed Forces, which governs entire area of humans. And there is his rival **Margras Mason** in the Adan Allied Forces, which is a separatist groups. Heā€™s a promising young squad leader. Katana didnā€™t know that Margras joined the ADAN Forces, thereby get shocked encountering Margras in the battlefield. Katana has no choice but to fight with his squad in the conflict. As they keep fighting the war, Katana happens to know the background of Margras motivation and then ā€¦ Thatā€™s the main plot. Anyway, I downloaded the game in early 2016 and started to create the first character. Major space opera featured character names were already unavailable ( ex. James T Kirk, Reinhard von Lohengramm, John 117 etc, etc ā€¦ ) Soon Project Sylpheed and Katana came to my mind. However I didnā€™t want to just import his name as it is. Thereby having had an idea to merge Katana and Margrus names. So that was a biggest mistake Iā€™ve ever made in the game. At that time I hadnā€™t thought Iā€™d play this game so long. Thatā€™s why I didnā€™t take it seriously and didnā€™t to google their spellings. I never met a guy named either Mason or Faraway in my real life so far. And I didnā€™t know how to spell them. I just thought Mason would be spelled as Masen. In the end, Katana Masen emerged on the NEW EDEN as a result of ignorance and laziness. I didnā€™t notice itā€™s spelled in a wrong way for years as people rarely call characters full names. The first time I knew itā€™s wrong is a WTM Incursion fleet. FC called my full name in a pronounce of MɑĖsen. I didnā€™t realize itā€™s my name for a while and eventually noticed itā€™s mine after my ships got sunk. Now I accept the reality that itā€™s not Mason though, still require Japanese players to pronounce my name as Mason instead of Masen. ---

Not new at all, so no ISK please. My original character is named ā€œLa Tygreā€. They still exist, but it appears whoever adopted them gave up the game a long time ago. I served aboard US Navy submarines for many years, and that is a community that has a tendency to eat their own. One officer (a full-bird Lieutenant) was seen on their way to the head wearing tiger-stripe briefsā€¦and little else. This immediately immortalized them in the minds of the crew as ā€œLieutenant La Tygreā€ (pronounce Lah Tee-Grah). 15 years later, their bold fashion choice is still remembered by we few. ---

Trying to guess whatā€™s going on in these forum is like trying predict the weather on Mars. Not going to speculate. Itā€™s sad tho, she seemed like an interesting person.
