The online alias of a man that is a shadow of what he once was.
The Alias (Handle): TwNaru is a compaction of words - Specifically: Terran Warrior & Narusegawa.

In the man's childhood a video game called StarCraft greatly influenced the man.
As he played with his best friend simultaneously (Original handle NateAndShawn, later TwMatt, and finally TwNaru), he came to the understanding that for effective multi-player game play a guild was required. So the Warrior guild was started with the following tags: Tw (Terran Warrior), Pw (Protos Warrior), Zw (Zerg Warrior), and Mw (Master Warrior) reflecting the various races available for play (and master for someone who played as all races) in the game.

Tw was chosen because the Terran (Human/Earth) race was his favorite, making him see humans as beings with no limitations in respect to invention and technology.
