OK, this is a tale for the ages.
gospel_virus actually was born out of boredom. I have about 2 other Gaia characters, which I never use 'cuz they're really stupid and represent characters who aren't suited to Gaia.
I made him up, and he needed a cool name. Something I could be remembered by, and since I played MMBN2 at the time (and Rockman and Forte), "Gospel" was used. As for the "virus" part, I just chose that because I happened to have an interest in computer viruses at the time. And so, gospel_virus was born.
So far, everyone I meet likes the name, and I hope to keep going with that.
ninja It also spawned
gospel-virus.net, which is kinda like Gaia, only without the swearing restrictions and the cool avatars.
