Back in junior high, I was obsessed with telepathic companion animals, and on top of reading every single book on this theme I could find in the library, I invented my own setting of an international peacekeeping force composed entirely of soldiers bonded to telepathic companion animals: the infantry got big cats, wolves, bears, etc, while the archers got birds of prey.
(I wonder if I could port this interest into a book sometime. Everyone loves telepathic companion animals, right? Although the whole “Telepathic companion animals are the ULTIMATE BOND” thing would need to undergo some modification to go into a romance novel, where the ultimate bond is presumably romantic.)
Anyway, when I needed a screenname for AIM (God, this is taking me back) and cat_ranger was taken, I made myself osprey_archer instead. After that I just sort of ported it to all my new platforms.
