My nickname when I was a kid was Ru (Roo), so when my brother was reading the Inquistor books from BL and saw Ruberu, it quickly became my name for everything. Mostly used as a last name Marius Ruberu is my fictional name for games and Forums. Marius from old Roman times.

I kind of based my name choice around the action and thoughts that I thought created one of my favourite space marines, Uriel Ventris. His character i found was one that, whilst he believed the codex was right, there were times that he went with his gut and his heart and reinterpreted or followed through with what his emotions decided to be the proper choice or thought process in a situation. An example was Uriels almost child like attachment to the Unfleshed and that he believed any citizen of the Imperium who followed the Emperor with their hearts deserved a place in His empire.
Kind of epitimizes the character I would want to be if I was a space marine, one who still cares for the mortal people around him, despite how inhumane he himself has had to become in order to protect them.

Back when I bought all of the Rogue Trader rule books by Fantasy Flight Games I decided to invent a name for a Rogue Trader character. I'd never been very good at thinking up names, so I decided to simply anagram my own name. This took a while, and I had to modify the parameters a bit in order to work in my middle name (which is actually three words, only one of which is longer then four letters,) but I finally came up with something that I liked. Mostly. I was never satisfied with how my first name turned out, and eventually I swapped a vowel in my last name for a different one so the spelling wouldn't make me twitch like it used to.

When I decided to join some 40k forums, I decided to use my Rogue Trader persona for a screen name.

Hence, Lord-Captain Cepinari. To be precise, Lord-Captain Xalerdane Crechirk Drovan Cepinari, Head of the Cepinari Rogue Trader Dynasty.

Ostentatious, isn't it?
