[edit] Izwalito

As I'm often considered as a space alien, I've chosen Izwalito as a nickname. The name Izwalito has been inspired to me by a game I played on my Atari ST: Captain Blood. This game is a space adventure where you meet some alien species among which are the Izwals. The suffix "-ito" comes from the spanish language and means "son of", "little" or "baby". Izwalito is the portmanteau made from Izwal and the suffix "-ito". The following excerpt from the Atari ST version Captain Blood manual and describes the Izwals as "Peaceful and generous beings that looks almost human. Very cultured. Masters of science."
