Mine stretches from -95. The quake online gaming era. You just had to have a cool name. First it was BigA but it sounded like big-gay.

Besides that I also thought the jackal looks kinda kewl.
I still wanna model him one day, when I get the time. The ZA is simply the international code for my country of residence.
