There are OTHER reasons why as well but this just cemented it.

JRCB is my initials. Not the most creative, but it gets the job done.

Blind Sight refers to both an actual condition and a book by Peter Watts (my avatar is the book's cover). If you're into damn weird and depressing First Contact stories, check it out, it has sociopathic genius vampires and deadly attack starfish in it.

I was into Spore for a little while, and one of the first few creatures that I created was called a scorpatious. So I decided to use that as my username once I decided to create an account on Youtube. As you can see however, I accidentally added a "t" while typing in my name. It stuck however, so I decided to use it for almost everything else I registered for on the internet.

I really have no idea where my username came from. I think it came from my perfectly natural respect for Geese as one of the best animals (just behind Unicorns, but ahead of Puffins), and I liked the image of one being very serene and contemplative instead of flapping and going HONK HONK HONK.

Plus it can be abbreviated to Serene, and I like that.

Say it out loud or in your head and you will see what it symbolizes. Also sure why not? It does describe who I am. The name was given to me by a friend.

LustFull0ne as in..... a lusty guy.

Easy enough name to remember, and besides, I wasn't feeling very creative when I was thinking of the name.

Good thing I actually like my username.
Would've sucked ass if I didn't. :D

Zehydra comes from a random name I came up with for Graal online in 2002. It was originally spelled "Zehidra", but I changed the 'i' to a 'y', because I felt it looked cooler. My name doesn't actually have anything to do with the mythical creature.

I always liked the idea of dragon knights, so that's where Dragoon comes from. I played in red armor in the first Halo, so I added Crimson. The underscore is because I was too stupid to realize I could just use a space for the name on this site.

A mish-mash of random words for a Runescape account (my first contact with username-required sites) which turned out too long. What you see before you is what remained after shortening. And it has nothing to do with an actual Oreo Pizza. The 47 has no meaning either, though I could say it was because of Hitman... if I had played Hitman before making it.

I love the word "sonic", and I really like koalas. Combining them seemed like a good idea.

Actually mine came from a place called the GameCellar, which was located in RedLion PA. It was a 'gaming cafe' sort of place, you pay a membership fee ,and you get to use their state of the art gear on or offline and play all the newest games. The fee wasn't bad and the lan parties made it all worth it. The store was in a basement, hence the 'Cellar' underneath a high end computer shop. They had tons of Tv's, very powerful computers and every game system out at the time, plus all the games worth playing.
Sorry to rant, back on topic.
This was back when Halo 2 was in its prime, and I was know (very well) for crouching around during a ladder and killing people from behind while invisible. I won 7th place btw, and it wasn't just a local ladder =D.
Anyways, people started calling me stalker, which I just adapted as I saw fit, it's been my tag for just about everything ever since.
I'm not just a stalker, or a stalk3r, but I am the chief of the stalk3r's. I'm the best at it.

Old work nickname, i was a damn good dishwasher with a trench-coat.

Nuff said.

As for my normal one (psn, xfire, steam, what else... alot.) it was a kinda mashup messup when i couldn't use Shinokuyoku (The Terror of Death) on a game, so i made Shionkitsarune instead (Shion, name of my cat... Kitsune, favorite mythological being, Rune, i'm mostly scanidanvian, and most of it's from norway too, so viking's, runes, yeah... Mashed kitsune and rune together to get Kitsarune.)

Yes, long and confusing, and it's not to my normal screenname :p

I used to use SniperElite, then played Toribash. The character limit on the name led to me melding them to create SnipErlite.

*shrug*, what you wanted an interesting backstory?

I don't know, i went to make an account on this site and it said that my email address was already had an account on it, so i had them send me the password and user name and it was this.
