[Pfheonix]

A portmanteau of Pfhor [http://marathongame.wikia.com/wiki/Pfhor_(Race] and Phoenix. I misspelled it originally, so I flip between Pfheonix and Pfhoenix.

 

[deathzero021]

death + zero
death comes from the imagery and name of the Reaper as well as my interest in Death metal (and the band DEATH)
zero as in the number, meaning nothing. as well as my interest in Mega Man X's character ZERO.

sometimes i go by simply Death on some sites or even DeathX

 

[Tanis]

Tanis - As in Tanis Half-Elven from DRAGONLANCE
"According to humans, half an elf is but part of a whole being. Half a man is a cripple."

1 (or) _ - Cause most sites want you to have something that's not a letter

Lionheart - Squall Leonheart, from Final Fantasy VIII.
" ...Whatever."

Avatar: Lafiel from Crest/Banner of the Stars


Both parts of my user name were chosen around the time I started REALLY getting into my hobbies and went from being someone who played video games, to being a GAMER.

Same goes for getting into anime/manga comics/sci-fi & fantasy books/etc.

 

[tjbond911]

It was my username for Aim when I was like 12 and I still use it for everything!

 

[God's Clown]

Allen Walker's innocence name from D.Gray Man. It's also called Crown Clown, but I liked God's Clown better.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

It's the name I came up with one day when trying to imagine a Canadian Transformer (or to be more precise, a Transformer that landed in Canada). He's a snowmobile.

 

[Innegativeion]

My chemistry teacher would never call anyone by their name... everyone had a semi-mocking nickname. Mine was "ion" (obvious reference to chemistry plus a clever pun on my real name, Ian). After awhile I thought it was a pretty bad ass nickname. "Ion". It sounds cool. I mean, there must be a reason every sci fi and its grandma uses it as a prefix for some sort of weapon, even if the weapon doesn't make sense as being "ionic".

Anyway, the rest is from a desire to imply that I am not irrevocably committed to any one viewpoint, and can consider any point of view, and thus the double negative nonsense word "IN-negative". Of course, that would technically make me positive (but shhhh shut up).

Then I mixed all those considerations together and found that it sounded really cool if said as one word "innegativeion". Thus, my user name.

 

[manaman]

I wanted to go with Creepy Uncle, but someone suggested that might not be the best idea. So I just jammed the keyboard and came up with this.

Then I drank a beer, and cried silenty.

 

[Agayek]

The story behind my UN is really rather boring. I needed a name for my character in Baldur's Gate 2, so I sat around trying to come up with something that would sound vaguely appropriate, and this was the first thing that came to mind.

I then used the same name for my first WoW character, and it then became my default handle for all internet related activities.

 

[gideonkain]

Gideon was a biblical figure that tricked some invaders (Midianites) by having his small group of soldiers light torches and wail on trumpets around the enemy camp at night, making it seem that they were surrounded by a much larger number of troops. The invaders retreated even though they vastly outnumbered Gideon's forces.

Kain is a dragoon from Final Fantasy IV (2 US)

 

[Prime_Hunter_H01]

When I first played Halo I was young enough that my two favorite games at the time, Metroid Prime, and Star Wars Bounty Hunter, dictated everything for me. So my name for halo was a combination of the titles, Prime Hunter. When I finally started playing online Prime Hunter was already taken, but at the time I had played Halo 3 which made you use a 3 character ID as well, I chose H01, H for hunter, 01 because its a prime number. And it has been long enough that it has sentimental value. I considered starting to use Hurricane Isaac, after Hurricane Isaac happened, but I would feel weird without being Prime_Hunter_H01.

 

[Zen Bard]

Back in the early days of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, the "Bard" class was sort of the "Jack of All Trades Master of None". Guess I could relate since I've picked up a bunch of diverse yet totally unrelated skills over the years (muay thai, guitar, SCUBA diving...).

And I'm a student of Zen Buddhism

From AD&D to ADHD, I guess.

Love your Avatar...and would gladly contribute to the SuperPAC.

 

[likalaruku]

Likalaruku (Lih,kah,lah,ruh,kuh). A name I picked up in the late 90s when I started listening to music from several other countries because I hated everything on the radio at the time.

Lika = Leecha = My least favorite song on Gackt's MARS album.
Laruku (Lahrk) = Short for Rarukunshiiru or rather L'Arc~en~Ciel = A Jrock band I wasn't very fond of...Except for Sugizo.

So yeah, my name is convoluted & based on things I disliked in the late 90s.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

2588 is my birth date (February 5th, 1988)

Shoggoth is a monstrosity from space I think...written about by Lovecraft. It/they are not as popular as Cthulhu or, Nyarlathotep, etc but stuck with me since I have a terrible memory and I feel like I change my opinion on things often. Like the Shoggoth, which is an amorphous blob that takes on many, many different shapes and, forms.

Likalaruku (Lee,kuh,lah,rew,kew). A name I picked up in the late 90s when I started listening to music from several other countries because I hated everything on the radio at the time.

Lika = Leecha = My least favorite song on Gackt's MARS album.
Laruku (Lahrk) = Short for Rarukunshiiru or rather L'Arc~en~Ciel = A Jrock band I wasn't very fond of...Except for Sugizo.

So yeah, my name is convoluted & based on things I disliked in the late 90s.

I didn't realize Gackt was doing solo stuff in the 90's...my understanding was that he was with Malice Mizer until about 99 or 2000.

 

[SckizoBoy]

I was diagnosed as schizophrenic while in highschool, and teens being teens, generally took the piss. Then became part of a shortlived and rather crappy CounterStrike clan wherein I took the screen name of SchizoBoy, but one of the guys kept mispronouncing it hence it became SckizoBoy which I took on to here...

The avatar simply reflects my morbid interest in mortality and my general sense of melancholia... -_-

 

[Divine Miss Bee]

my mother always used to call me "the divine miss bee" when she got mad at me, instead of just "bee." for example, "does the divine miss bee feel like stirring herself to do the dishes?" or "does it offend the divine miss bee if i ask you to babysit your brother tonight?" i've always maintained that no matter what's on your birth certificate, your real name is what your mother calls you when she's angry, so i started putting "divine miss bee" as my username for just about everything.

and the idea behind the charmander avatar was inspired by Jack and Calumon. the idea is that you're just sitting here on the forums talking to me and my charmander is hanging out with us. i didn't give him a voice, though, because all he can say is "charmander."
