“ESWAT stands for “Extra Special Weapons And Tactics”. They are a fictional paramilitary group from the manga Appleseed. They also wore 4-meter tall exoskeleton armour, stuck to their ethos and got shit done. If you’re trying to come up with a personal moniker you might as well name yourself after a team of badasses.” This is the reasoning behind my nickname I have on my site, but it actually runs a bit deeper than that. I also keep some of the mannerisms of the lead characters in ESWAT and the organization’s methods in the back of my mind, whether they work in the real world or something I should scrutinize: Deunan’s knowledge and curiosity of multiple languages, ESWAT’s belief that specialization breeds weakness, the protagonists’ realizing they’ve become trapped in their current occupation because that’s what they are best at, etc. It made perfect sense to me to name my online-self after something from the series.
