How I got the name Bashu
The name Bashu came from needing a name for an avatar in Elder Scrolls online (ESO), two of my real-life friends, and I had joined Elder Scrolls online (ESO). We had played computer games together for years, starting with a game called NFL Challenge by XoR in 1986. I always played a Wizard named Durham Stargazer, (A War Wizard) in our MMO Fantasy games and AD&D Games, one of my other friends typically was the tank.
The three of us all around level 14 on the first day of Elder Scrolls online, we head to a public dungeon to fight our first minor boss. We get thrashed badly by the minor monster. I then say to my comrades ok who is the tank? No answer. I asked again…. who’s the tank? so then I get answers like “I am just a dps” and “I am an off healer dps” Oops, we had no tank.
So the next day I rolled myself up a Dragonknight after a bit of studying online which suggested Dragonknights made good tank toons in ESO. I used to be an avid reader of the icewind dale trilogy and immediately thought of Bruenor Battlehammer as a tanky toon to emulate. He was always bashing enemies with his shield, so… it came to me, Bashu, pronounced Bash “you” I was going to be tank toon, so I used Ironshield, instead of Battlehammer. Hence Bashu Ironshield the Dragon Knight was born and that is how I came up with the name Bashu
