Hello. I am the creator of swrp.wikia.com, the Star Wars Second Life Roleplay wiki.

I RP as a Sith Sorceress and Alchemist known as Darth Ptas.

Ptas comes from the Ancient Greek, meaning "to fly," as a soul flies away from a slain body... πέτομαι. "Ptas" is the singular aorist masculine participle in the active voice of the nominative and vocative cases, as well as being the second-person singular aorist indicative verb in the active voice. It would mean, basically, "Darth Fly!" as a command to the souls of my enemies to depart their mortal coils.

I. to fly, of birds, bees, gnats, etc., Hom., etc.:—then, of arrows, stones, javelins, etc., Il.: also of any quick motion, to fly along, dart, rush, of men, id=Il., etc. II. metaph. to be on the wing, flutter, Lat. volitare, of uncertain hopes, Pind., Soph.; of fickle natures, Eur.; ὄρνις πετόμενος a bird ever on the wing, Ar.; πετόμενόν τινα διώκεις "you are chasing a butterfly" Plat.

"He spoke, and as he spoke the end of death closed upon him, and the soul flying free of the limbs went down into Death's house mourning her destiny, leaving youth and manhood behind her." - Homer, regarding the death of Hektor.
