Khuzaki, or Khazak sometimes is the Russian pronunciation of "Cossack" or, at least that's
what it was on Google translate when I made the name for my WoW rogue, and the name stuck.

Based off Squall from Final Fantasy 8's limit break, Renzokuken.
For some reason I thought it was spelled Renzozuken and stuck with it ever since.
Also it was 2002 when I made it.

It's my Gamertag/username for most things now. It originated back in 7th Grade, about 5-6 years ago. I was making an account for PokemonCrater and was going to use Natester001 because my name is Nate and I am ever so creative, but I forgot the "e" in the middle, and I have just used natster since. Then when I started playing Runescape, Natster001 was taken, and one of the suggestions was Natster43, so I took it and have used Natster43 ever since then.

Mine's just a name I came up with for various fantasy RPGs and the like. I've used it in D&D, Morrowind, Oblivion, Dragon Age?

I don't remember where I first used it, but I remember where I got it. When my old computer worked, I used to play a lot of Master of Orion 2. I was trying to come up with a name for something fantasy RPG related I think, and I decided to just go play MoO2. I saw this race called the Mrrshans or something. I kind of liked its sound, but thought it was too animal (the species was cat-like). So I added some vowels, switched some stuff around, and saw some progress. Then I decided to add some sound that you don't really see in names very much. So I added "eu" as in "you" to the beginning. Thus "Eumersian" from "Mrrshan".

When I was running a tabletop game for my gaming group, the main enemy was a villain known only as "The Master."

He ruled over the Infinite Empire which spanned a few universes (operating on the theory that there is an infinite amount of universes).

Hence, "The Infinite Empire" and "Master of Worlds".

LogicNProportion came from my love of the song "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane. The words are part of the latter lyrics to the song.

I'm "way out there" in that I'm a mysty-eyed dreamer. That's the impression of me that people are supposed to get when they see my username anyway.

So, you're the man no one knows directly, save the fact that you're supposed to be dead.

On topic, most of my user name should be obvious. I likes me some cards. 12 is the number of letters in my last name. I use this id wherever possible, so Starcraft II saddens me as it would not let me add numbers to my username.

It comes from the Doom creature, the Archvile, probably the most annoying enemy in the game. I don't know why I chose the number 93.

I just finish watching lord of the ring and I needed to think of a username for gaia online so I tried golem and it was taken so I put 239 at the end and it became my trademark username for everything and if 239 was taken I'd mix up the numbers

Because I am not simply *a* madman, but *The* Madman. There's a difference between the two.

Loved you in Escape from New York! Heard it was based on a true story, true or false?

Hell yeah Jefferson Airplane.
I will never listen to them the same way again after 'A Serious Man'...

Anyhoo, because I'm a pseudo-intellectual ****** who actually likes postmodern literature and jazz music, mine is based on the title of Haruki Murakami's most famous novel, Kafka on the Shore.
Kafka Off the Beach is my attempt to be funny by countering the title's initial message.
Yaaaaaay

Because the ends of my nails are white.

I'm sorry if you were expecting an epic backstory, preferably involving espionage and damn good pie.

Mine is derived from Icarus. Who is my favorite mythical person ever. Something about his story just, idk I like it. Also I was reading 40k books and there's a lot of latin in there so the "ion" ending comes from that. Also I share a name with this boat

which was sunk by Germans in WW2. And an NPC in Wow. hmm never knew that last one. Nor the first one until I googled it

MystryMeet is my failed band's name. Name came from the chicken sandwiches at school that weren't made out of chicken...then when I told my band mates they said it was a cool band name, my friend can't pronounce Mystery, instead it became Mystry. We changed Meat to Meet because out single was "We are MystryMeet! We'd like to Meat you!" Because we are disgusting pervs like that...
