Editing Erasmus Tycho (section)

==Trivia== 
Tycho's name is probably inspired from the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe, who had his nose cut off in a duel and replaced with one of silver (like Tycho and his mask). His first name: Erasmus is basically just an archaic given name that rarely gets used in western English but has been used by several historical figures (most notably Erasmus of Rotterdam, the Dutch Renaissance humanist scholar whose biblical translations strongly influenced the Protestant Reformation).

Come on, he was a filler character for an early white dwarf battle report who became a permanent character, it's not really going to be deep and meaningful, though Erasmus does derive from the ancient greek ''Erasmios'' for "pleasant" so can refer to Tycho's pretty face.

===VERY unlikely theory===
As Erasmus Tycho is partially named after a Dane, it is possible that the name "Erasmus" comes from a famous Danish stage-play, called "Erasmus Montanus". It centers around the homecoming of peasant Rasmus Berg, who was sent to the university of Copenhagen in the early 1900s to educate himself into Latin and the world in general. When he arrives at his birthhome, he had his name changed to Erasmus Montanus, believing it to be the Latin version of his name ("berg" being a mispelling of "bjerg", the danish word for "mountain", and "montanus" being Latin for the same.), and generally being a ponce about his newfound knowledge. As it turns out, he has learned a lot of stuff, but doesn't have a clue as to how to apply it, and uses faulty logic to argue his cases (A famous example being him turning his mother into a stone, by asserting that "A stone can't fly, mom can't fly, so mom must be a stone", alienating anyone and making his mother cry. This way of arguing is, to this day, called "Montanish Arguement" in Denmark), and ending up being forced to give up his knowledge by agreeing that the world indeed is flat, and not round, as he stated.

What this says about Erasmus Tycho, being named after a great and a lousy scholar respectively, while himself having two different sides (the noble one and the mad one), is up to you.
