About

My name is Metus Aquinas, named after the Roman Twin God of Fear also known as Phobos in Greek mythology. Ironically, my last name is that of a well known man named Thomas Aquinas who argued that everything in the universe can be explained with human reasoning and that divine intervention did not exist.

Now if you actually believed my real name to be Metus Aquinas...that's...alright, BUT my REAL name is Steve. Don't know who I'm named after, but my name means crown, of which is also derived from the Greek language.

I'm a very dedicated gamer. I personally own a SNES, PS1, PS2, PS3, Wii, Gameboy Color, and Gameboy Advance. The consoles that I don't have, my cousins do and so I have a good range of experience in all of the consoles. I don't have a particular favorite console. I've had my fair share of writing short stories/fan fiction as well as 5 years of GFX art experience. I hate eating bananas. Haven't eaten one since I was around 7 years old. I love eating mango's, watermelons, apples, oranges, and kiwis.

Anyhow, I'm a pretty open-minded guy, so feel free to chat me up anytime you're in the mood and we'll go from there. =)

I know I hardly ever talk to you, but you showed up on that suggested content list. I clicked on here and read your profile, so I thought I'd comment on this, since this is what I do best.
Your name ultimately derives from the Greek verb στέφειν, στέφω (stéphein, stéphō), "to put around"; made into an abstract noun, this is στέφανος (stéphanos), a thing that is put around. This is usually used to describe laurels (which is how we modern people get 'crown' from it), since they are usually "placed around" the head.
The name became Latinized as Stefanus (complete with the case ending, of course). When this name traveled through medieval Europe (primarily through the Germanic nations), the f in the middle became vocalized (a trait Germanic languages commit to often, vocalizing 'f' sounds when they fall between vowels [such as Old Norse hafa {pronounced 'hava'}, where we got the modern "have"]), making it sound much like a 'v'. Thus, upon traveling to England and subsequently the U.S. in the modern day, we have the two spellings; Steven, and the other to reflect the original Greek spelling, Stephen, but retaining its Germanic vocalization of the f from the Latin Stefan.
Tada! Probably the most boring profile comment ever, I know. I apologize.
