I'm a MtG junkie and so I ended up with the name of the most powerful legendary creature!
Also using it for a lot of other sites and after lurking for more than a year on the escapist I just choose the first username from my list of names I use frequently^^

Good, now we just need to find out your password for every site :)

I was reading all the x-men comics, from the 1st to circa Messiah Complex, since I was so lucky to get to know a guy who had them. When I created my user, Longshot was on the team, and I liked the character, so...

Actually a pretty funny story. When I was little my brother and his friend were into rap music. So we were jokingly coming up named for our future stage personas.

They took all the good names, like Big Daddy-O (friend) and Pimpin Dad (My brother). I couldn't figure out a name so I said "Foxy Father" going with the motif. I was laughed out of the room by them. But I told my brother that Pimpin went better with me cause my name was Peter (See, 2 Ps? thats young logic for ya)

Later that day I made a yahoo account to watch music videos, and gave myself the name pimppeter.

When I joined my first forum oblivionsource I kept the name. (Not many things to make accounts for back then). 4 something years later, the site implodes, and I join the Escapist. And I just dragged the name over there because it was easy to do.

My last name is Hook.
I am male.
I put these two facts together then I sit back and watch the magic happen!
Do you also use hook-based attacks and give your power to the blue-clad hero who defeats you?

OT: Another one? I haven't seen one of these for at least a few months, so why not. Mine is of my own design and originates from a Final Fantasy Chrystal Chronicle character I made.

I really have no idea when i came up with Snagli. i think it was when i was trying to give something i drew a name. it was a pear, with 3 eyes and trumpets sticking out of its head.

I use this everywhere where the * symbol isn't allowed, cause I use J*Rod otherwise.

It's essentially an altered cross between my signature initials JS* and K-Rod [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_Rodríguez_(baseball,_born_1982)], my favorite athlete at the time I first used it.
The "czf-" comes from my family's old Condition Zero clan ~CzF~.

It's from a song I used to like by a band called Robots in Disguise.
Upon reflection, the song's pretty rubbish but I kept the name.

What can i say i like alliteration.
Well, that's not alliteration so you clearly don't like it that much...

Anyway, mine is a joke from DBZ abridged, when Nappa thinks that Chiaotzu is a Pokemon.
