My username?

I couldn't think of a name for my battle.net account so I literally facerolled my keyboard. Four letters came up. And Gxas was born.

Um...You named yourself after your ancient greek titan but forgot to input the 'R'?

Personally, mine is my nom de plume (Pen name).

Easy. I'm an Ocular Albino (red eyes, but normal skin and brown hair) who wears a green contact lens in her left eye. So I'm Suisieseki IRL, thus the name.

I was 9 and my sister got a computer, my sister let me use it sometimes but she told me to make a yahoo account, I came up with the name "xboxkid931" I stuck by that name untill I found out about Steam I was 14 when I found out about Steam.
I left my old name and came up with "elitepie931"
At 15 I found the escapist and used Elitepie931 as my username.
My Steam name is no longer elitepie931 tho, Its "Not_A_Spy" now :3

WHAT!? You asked for origin!

I typed the first thing that came to my head. When I made this I fully intended to make a single post only.

Apparently I have more free time than I anticipated.

I used to be in a band with this kid who would call me Captain Rob (my real name is Robert), and I kind of liked it, and addapted it to Cpt Rob for gaming. But in somewhat of a fluke, I accidentally made the use of Cpt Rob impossible for my xbox live account, so I switched it to Kpt Rob, and adopted the same name here on the Escapist.

I made it about a year and a half ago, at the time, I was a mortal kombat fan and a gun enthusiast, and so I stuck with it.

I don't remember exactly how I got my name. It just sounded cool to me when I made my xbox live account on the original xbox, and I've kept it ever since.

931...isn't that the Doom 3 BFG code? (I'll admit, it's sad that I still know it.)

As for mine, it was something that I started going by in 7th grade, derived from my actual name, Daniel Michaloski. 7 years later, I'll still use it for lots of stuff, but I have a sneaking suspicion that I may be getting sick of it.
