Failhammer because of something one of my mates said when I opened the RA3 box. It had a code for a unique Warhammer Online item, and when he saw the card he said "Look! It's failhammer!",(or words to that effect).
I liked it and started using it.

I just made it up. Rhayn sounds kind of mysterious and viscious, yet somehow comforting. So I went with that.

This was the name of one of my Neverwinter Nights characters. I was scrolling through the random names, and this one stuck out from the crowd. Years on, I've googled it, and only I ever come up on it, apart from one or two mentionings on some German sites, which I can't tell what they're about.

This one is the date i got engaged, my wife has made noises about doing one with our wedding date to "keep an eye on me" but that's a joke. So is the thought of her joining a gaming community.
I still use one of my old role-playing character's name for almost everything, not sure why I didn't on here....
EDIT: Zebadiah Zephaniah Zorander.
I read The Number of the Beast when I was younger, liked the whole Z name side story, nicked it and took it too far And have been too lazy to think up a new one... You know, the usual.

Maverick Black came in two parts I thought Maverick (inspired by the Movie Maverick with Mel Gibson not Top Gun) was a cool name which sort of described me. Since Maverick is such a common alias I needed something to make mine different so I decided to make Black(inspired by Black Books) the last name.

I always liked the idea of resistance, rebelling against something really. So i chose Resistance.

The 205 bit is a long story, when i was a child i was obsessed with the word Legend, and thinking i was one. So, when i was making a bebo account, i tried putting in legend, and it didn't work, then legend 1, legend 2 etc etc. Untill i finally gave up and just put in 205.

Since then it has stuck with me.

My alias, SharPhoe, is just short for my regular alias, SharinganPhoenix. And that alias came from when I made an account on a forum site about 3 years ago, when Naruto had just become the big thing in my high school, and the phoenix has always been - and always will be - my favorite mythical creature. I don't watch/read Naruto anymore, but I like the name too much to change it, plus I don't want to confuse the people who still call me Shari or SP.

My gamer tag, orifice, has two origins. Firstly in computer games I would utilise 'boggy tactics'. (those of you that have read Bored of the rings by the harvard lampoon will understand!) And this would result in people shouting impolite things at me, usually calling me a bodily orifice of one kind or another!
Secondly, as a younger person I was one of those people that could eat an unholy amount of food despite not putting on weight, this is the second origin of My tag.

Mine comes from Clerks 2 when Dante informs Randall the difference between Hellen Keller and Anne Frank. Way funny in the movie, however I decided to go with kellen heller. Not that I'm deaf, blind and dumb mind you, although I have done some dumb shit before that would lead one to believe that I was...

I like the thought of having to wear a straitjacket as a career choice instead of something I have to do because the men in the white suits tell me too, SO I consider the art of wearing a Straitjacket for a living Straitjacketeering.

I chose "Magical" because:

One night i stayed over in my girlfiends house. The next morning she told me that i had Magical Hands...

And i chose Hans because:
I needed a link to my Germaness...


Anywho, some time later i was deciding on names for a XBL and Magical Hans came to mind, and thus Magical Hans was born....

I was in a ska band where we all used pseudonyms for a while. Mine was Ace O'Something. Which I started using on IM and things like that. Even after we changed the band's name i continued using the name and variations thereof.

Oddly enough in most video games I used HammerNAvil or something like that because my First name is Thor, middle initial is N and my last name is Anglicization or the Norwegian word for 'Anvil'.

Many years ago we had a music style in Holland called Terror Core which was popular with the people I hung out with. So one day a friend of mine in a moment of inspiration he realizes that my last name is only 2 letters removed form Terror and he presto a nickname is born. Later I start using it online but Terror was already in use so I had to add something and my age or year of birth seemed so stupid and changeable. Then I thought 666 the number of the beast would be cool. That is how Terror_666 was born.

Unfortunately, the name I wanted to take was gone. If not I would have been called Agamemnon. I use that name as nickname sometimes in game. It came from a book I read and the character was an evil sort off cyborg general. It's also the name of a commander in chief in the trojan wars.

Instead, I adopted my Unreal Tournament 2004 clan name SHARP [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skinheads_Against_Racial_Prejudice]. Sometimes it's funny to say you're a skinhead, and everybody starts flaming while they have no idea what a true skinhead is. Not that I'm a real skinhead though, I'm dressed in a way that's generally accepted as 'normal', and I've got hair!
