Osloq like a lot of internet names i make came about because all the names i thought were cool were all taken and i'm not gonna muck around with "xzyrAwesomeObykh" or rubbish like that. So i made a WoW character called Osloq, i liked how it was shortened to Os cos im aussie and i just kept on using it. Avatar is a cool pic of two face who is my favourite character in any comic and most book series. The idea that a coin flip could be the difference between mass murder or helping some lady across the street (I inserted hyperbole here)is really interesting to me. My avatar generally changes between batman images because it's my favourite comic plus some of the characters are so damn cool.
Mine is my initials for the first letter of the handle. I had the fallout guy because I really like the art of the games as well as the game itself. I think I will take this opportunity to change the avatar to what inspired it. That is one stone cold monkey.
Well Drong is short for Drongnel which was my name in wow, it's dwarfish (from the old warhammer armies dwarf book) it means stew made from Dragon steak and strong dwarf ale and i just liked it though it led to alot of people asking me if i was danish (not helped by the fact that i had a pet turtle called tuin after the star turtle a'tuin from the discworld novels however tuin also means garden in danish (i think it was danish anyway, might have been dutch, i really can't remeber)
my pic is a Banksy graffiti showing Samuel L Jackson and John Travolta ala pulp fiction but clutching bananas instead of guns. It was in London and then some council idiot painted over it not realising it was worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, the report's here for anyone whos interested... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6575345.stm

As with Girlysprite, Google my name and you come up with nothing but Me.
The name I came up with is a portmanteau of Anarchy, and Archimedes, although Anarchy doesn't describe me well. Regardless, it's a name that I can spell easily, is original and no one would care to steal it, therefore I never have to muck it up with numbers. I've said my say on my avatar a few times, so I'll just say in simple terms "I whipped it up in Photoshop".

Uszi is a play off my own name. I had a friend do something similar with Vogy, and we played alot of WoW together and counterstrike, so I thought it gave us a cool team atmosphere.
... That said, I can't express my frustration when it was already taken on xbox live. Who the hell names themselves after me?
The image is meant to be a nod towards an obscure music video/song which I love.

I changed from my regular name to vun while on IRC, I wanted to mess around with a "fan". I've changed nicknames a lot, but I think this one's gonna stick for a while.
My avatar is something I drew when I decided I didn't want to use the Ghosts avatars anymore. Originally it didn't have a hat but I added one when I started wearing a hat at all times.

My name is a character in the book series "A Song of Ice and Fire." He is a fencing master, and though presumed dead by other characters, is quite possibly really still alive.

Funny, I swear I posted the reason for my screen name.... Ah well. Anyways, stompy is a random name I was assigned in Halo PC, and it stuck. The current screen name is a Brute Chieftain, simply because I think he looks cool.

Edit: My current avatar is a funny picture I found, which, as you can see has a picture, and below it, the text 'Communism: Never looked so cute'.
Edit: My current avatar is a pic of the Combine insignia. 'Cos the Combine are awesome.

I came up with nilcypher after thinking about words combinations that sounded cool to say. I wasn't going to use it, but I used it to sign up for my Steam account and just kept it.
I also seem to be the only person on the internet that's using it, so if you see a nilcypher anywhere, it's me.
I can't remember where I found the avatar, just a random image that I saw that I liked.

Because, it was better than Agent Slifer or Midnight. My 2 usual names. The Lord Ascendant is the name of the leader of the Order of the Obsidian Flame from a novel I am writing. I thought it would fit in nicely.

Kikyoo, despite what some people may think, was and has always been an original creation of mine. Since I came up with the name, everyone who knows me on the internet, knows me as Kikyoo. The origin of why the name stuck with me is kinda long, but I feel like telling anyways!
Kikyoo came into my head back when I was playing Monster Rancher for the 2nd time. My first creation had been a giant Purple Dinosaur who basically won the entire game because he was so freaking powerful. I fused him together with another monster too create a stone dragon. Then I created 2 more dragons. The headless white spirit dragon, and the Red dragon. Ragron was the name of the stone dragon, and he decimated rank S matches easily, with extremely high attack and defense and HP. Rife the spirit dragon didn't do nearly as well, but lived for a really long time. Most monsters in the game died off after 4 years. Rife lived to be 11 years old. Then there was Kikyoo. Frankly I was using him to find all the abilities dragons could use. His stats were well rounded in every area, but he did not do well at all. He never even got to a Rank A match. So I run around doing tournaments, getting money and supplies for future ventures, and I enter one of the harder ones for a dragon fang, needed to make more dragons.
I enter the tournament knowing full well that my chance for victory was slim, and expecting too get knocked out quickly. The first matches are easy, but then I come against the stone dragon. Right away he slams me with his most powerful move, and I let out a sigh, because the move in question was one Ragron used frequently, and one shotted ever powerful opponents with it. But I notice I am not dead. It was surprising, but the move only hurt me a bit. So I rouse the move he just used on me, and hit him with it. I managed to hurt him. So we started a massive slam fest, the first real fight I'd had in the entire game. The first fun fight I'd had in the entire game. It was a hard fight, I had to use all the moves at my disposal to win, but I won in the end. Since then the name Kikyoo has stuck with me. I feel like it makes a statement about me. Wisdom and Strength are meaningless, what I prize most is the good fight. For my reference of it, Kikyoo to me means "Dragon of the Desperate battle" and he lives up too that extremely well.
I believe also in Japanese Kikyo is a type of flower, and also there is an anime woman with that name, but I don't care about either of them.
