Tak

Hello, I'm Tak.

Here's the story behind the name. When I was younger, like many young nerdy kids such as myself, I played Runescape (hardcore I know). Wolfs had always been my favourite animal and I wanted to somehow fit wolf in the name. After about half an hour attempting to use usernames and variables of the name (using numbers as letters etc.) I found that names with wolf where very popular. So, eventually I came up with wolfattack, which surprise surprise, was taken. But, and it's an important but, the first variant I had tried "wolfattak" (dropped the "c") was not taken and thus was born wolfattak. Since then wolfattak has just stuck. And it would have stuck if it weren't for two reasons. One, being that I had come up with my own character, or "fursona" so to speak , and it turned out to be a fox. Mainly because my friends mother (who is first nations) said that I "have the spirit of a fox". Two, being that On a forum that I registered to using "Wolfattak" there was another member with the username "Wolf". Now most people for short would call me "wolf" but since there already was a "wolf" I thought it best to come up with a different name. So I simply shortened it to "Tak". And thus was born Tak, the Arctic Fox with one blue ear.
