the origin of my username...
Back in the SNES days, there was a video game called Lufia. I guess I must've liked that name quite a bit. While I was trying to think of a name for an original character of mine, I came up with "Luthia" (though I couldn't figure out where that name came from at that time.) My character was supposed to have an affinity with cats, so I decided that "cat" had to be part of the name. So I stuck it in the middle...and the result was "Lucathia." It'd be weird trying to write a story with "Lucathia" as the main character now...since that name has become mine more than anything. It'd be like writing a self-insert.
The "Rykatu" part comes from me trying to think of more original characters. I uh, somehow decided that spelling "cat" with a "C" was not cool enough so I went with a "k." ^^; This character is well, a guy, and has an affinity with dragons. So I divided up "ryu" and stuck "kat" in the middle just like what I did with "Luthia." ^^; (I thought dragon in Japanese was ryu but it's actually ryuu but what did I know then??)
At ffnet, I went by "Lucathia" at first, but I wanted to hide from my RL friends since they all knew I went by that name online. So I changed it to Rykatu L., knowing that they wouldn't be able to find me that way. After awhile, I stopped wanting to hide, so I changed it back to Lucathia...but I didn't want people who only knew me as Rykatu to not be able to find me anymore...so I smushed the two usernames together.
To this day, I feel weird looking at my lj name. To me, these two names are both first names and just don't go together at all. They're meant to be names of separate people. My "Lucathia" character had an actual last name, which was "Lagata." I do havelucathia and rykatu as lj accounts too. lucathia is for RL posts and well, rykatu is just my random testing posts, like for testing layouts and stuff. I'd buy a rename token for this account, but it's not really worth it. X3;
Tagging...well, I think most people have already done this meme. I think I did it before too, just not in this much detail. ^^;

10 weird habits/little known facts...mostly little known facts since I don't know what would be considered a weird habit...
1. I'm slow. As in, it used to take me 1 to 2 hours just to eat dinner. Back in HS, I had trouble finishing eating during lunch. When one of my friends started eating slower (she's usually a fast eater) she joked that I was rubbing off on her.
2. I'm a horrible conversationalist. Or maybe it's better called as bad people skills. People say I'm shy, but I think it's just that I have no idea what to say usually and I rather not say anything at all if I don't have something meaningful to contribute.
3. I don't know how to ride a bike. Or swim. D:
4. My obsession with fishbones started around six/seven years ago when my aunt gave me a fishbone necklace.
5. I once broke my little toe jumping on the sofa with my cousin. After this Chinese doctor set it right again, I found out...I could move it. On its own. (I can't move any of my other toes separately)
6. My only non A grade that I received before university was a C...in P.E. 0_0;; That was in sixth grade.
7. I've attended Fanime for the past seven years. My first cosplay was of Tomoe from Rurouni Kenshin, though I didn't even get the color right. Very few people recognized me.
8. Quite a few of my anime/manga obsessions...started with the video game versions of them. 0_0;; Take Yu Yu Hakusho, for example. I saw my brother and my cousin playing a YYH fighting game on the SNES and was really intrigued. I read the manga afterwards. It wasn't until a long time afterwards that I managed to get tapes of the anime. My obsession with Tenipuri is another example. I liked it, sure, but I didn't get obsessed with it until after playing "Form the Strongest Team" on the PS2.
9. The first game I ever finished was...Pokemon Yellow, I think? I don't really remember. I do remember that I wasn't able to beat the Elite Four in Pokemon Red (that I started before Yellow). I ended up transferring my Yellow pokemon to Red...and beat it that way.
10. In 9th grade, one of my teachers had us write time-capsule letters that she said she'd give back to us four years later. I wrote a note to myself along the lines "Have you finished writing that fic (ENTER TITLE HERE) you started? Do you still like that guy?" Surprisingly, I did finish that fic (it was my very first fic ever. A truly horrid one. I've never taken it down though, so you can still find it.) and I don't like that guy anymore. The teacher never gave the letters to us though, so I don't remember what else I wrote to myself about.
Tagging...whoever wants to do it. ^^;
Because people are doing it and it's a great idea (seen onissen4, flonnebonne)
Top 10 animanga for me!
1. Yuu Yuu Hakusho
2. Rurouni Kenshin
3. Hikaru no Go
4. Dear Boys
5. Detective Conan
6. Prince of Tennis
7. Honey and Clover
8. Mekakushi no Kuni
9. Venus wa Kataomoi
10. Uninhabited Planet Survive
1. Yuu Yuu Hakusho
The first series I ever really got into and devoured the entire manga of. I read the Chinese versions and watched the anime with Chinese subtitles, so I only ever knew the character's by their "Chinese" translated names. It wasn't until I discovered fanfic that I actually learned their names. My love for green comes from er, Kurama's eye color. .////. I just love Kurama's character, and I love the world of YYH. (I much prefer YYH's version of Shinigami than Death Note's.)
2. Rurouni Kenshin
Before...a month ago, this would not have been so high up on the list. But I've started reading RK fics again, and that renewed my love of RK and of Soujiro.My first fic ever was about Soujiro. The historic stuff about the Bakumatsu and the Shinsengumi is really fascinating (though I understood nothing of it the first time I watched it)...and everyone in RK has a tragic past. I remember laughing at the RK intro sequence. I still laugh at it, actually.
3. Hikaru no Go
Is addicting. Super addicting. The music, the characters, the games! And growing up and all that. My brother and his friend started playing Go over the net (though I never started). But HnG really does make me want to play.
4. Dear Boys
Very under appreciated series. The artwork for the second act is breathtaking. I love the team dynamics. I really love the passing of time in the series...how the second years are now third years and there are freshmen on the team. It's something that I'd like to see in Tenipuri but know will never happen.
5. Detective Conan
Kaitou Kid. I get together with my brother to watch the DC movies that come out every year. DC is like a constant in our lives. Heh.
6. Prince of Tennis
The series in which my friends and I obsessed over during our days on the HS tennis club. Seriously. They've long since moved on, but I'm still here. I like it for the rival teams and the silly video games that result from the physic-defying moves.
7. Honey and Clover
Is the first series that made me cry. It wasn't just a sniffle either. It's not a series I'd reread or rewatch...unlike the others I listed above. A very poignant series.
8. Mekakushi no Kuni
Has the most beautiful friendships ever. I doubt any of you know of this series. But I love Namiki. He's perhaps my favorite character of all time.
9. Venus wa Kataomoi
I'm throwing out these obscure titles that no one has ever heard of before. But well, if you like Honey and Clover, this one has somewhat similar vibes. It's about college and life and relationships and figuring out just what you want to do with your life. Guy and girl fall in love with the same guy...
10. Uninhabited Planet Survive
Trying to survive in the wild, stranded from home in a technologically advanced world...pretty fascinating.
Others that might've made it on the list: Gakuen Alice, Detective Academy Q, Death Note, Fruits Basket.
