Where did you your username come from? Did it come from a TV show? Movie? Video game character? A name of a book? Or did you make it up? Tell why you chose to call yourself that.
Well my username came from the Star Wars book written by Kevin J. Anderson called Darksaber.
The reason why I chose that name is because when I joined a site on Enter the Force and my username there was Saber. They had too many members whose username started with a 'S' so I decided to call myself Darksaber which is short for DS and Saber ;D. And the name has stuck with me since I have joined here and on other sites as well ;D.

In Genesis, Cain is the first human being to commit murder. I chose that as my Sith name because it was short and simple and also for its dark connotation. My original username was "philly" (short for my gamefaqs username phillyflyer. GO FLYERS!). I changed it to Cain once I became known for that character. Now I use the name Cain on every forum I join.

Oddly enough my name came to me in a funny way. i was playing runescape one day a couple of weeks after the second or third starwars came out. my friend (that i know in real life) asked if i wanted to join there starwars guild on runscape. he was giving out names to other members and he didn't know what to call me. his dad however recently got a scion and it was a nice car. He liked the name so he wanted to incorporate it into the guild. he changed the name to xion (pronounced zion) which sounded a lot like the name of the car. i just go by that name on this site seeing that its the only site i currnetly roleplay on.

Hades is the greek god of the underworld and so ppl see him as a bad god and also Hades also mean hell which sounded like a cool sith name Darth Hades. And so I use it as my username only.

Gamov came about after I got addicted to the Xbox release of Ninja Gaiden. There was a character in the game named Gamov who was really shady and showed up just long enough to screw things up for Ryu, then leave.
I've also been informed, though, that Gamov was also the name of a Soviet born nuclear physicist. I stick with the video game name, though seeing as how I had no idea of a Soviet scientist by the same name when I created my screen name.

My username is actually a combination of two names, inspired by a spelling error. A couple years ago when I was playing Star Wars Battlefront II, some guy typed "duku" instead of "Dooku", and I thought the new spelling looked pretty cool, and since I was going by Xanatos at that time, which is also a cool name, I combined the two and came out with "Xuku". Xuku is also a town in Mexico

Garok is simply a creation of the Star Wars Random Name Generator. My actual user name, however, is Bellum, which is Latin for 'war'. On almost all other websites I went by Sion, until recently keeping the pronunciation but changing the spelling to Ciawn. And then once or twice I have been 'Vanyr', a name I made up after mixing around some letters from yet another name.

When I started RPing about 7 years ago my username was Aurorablackrose on a site called Gonlac which was a fantasy roleplay. My first character on there ended up being named Alina, which is what most people there refered to me as, so to avoid confusion with new members I changed my name to Alinablackrose. I ended up leaving that site and joinning another, but the name Alinablackrose didn't seem to fit me anymore, sounds way too cliche and emo. I spent a good half hour trying to figure out a screenname that would be original enough that I could join most sites and never be confused with other members.
I had a fondness for the Teen Titans comics at the time, my second favorite character being Starfire. Taking my love for being up all night and my fondness for the moon, I changed it to Moonfire. Since then my default screenname for anything is Moonfire, and if that happens to be taken, its Moonfiresfury.
Eventually I adopted the nickname Mooney, and joined here about 3 years ago, using a character named Alina. I didn't make Moonfire the character until I was about a year into the RP when I got the urge to make a character based on my personality.
So yeah, thats the story XD

Post by Odan Thos on Jan 9, 2010 21:10:35 GMT -5
As this topic already was created I well quote my post in that... Enjoy My very first character on this sit was a Dreathos named Odan-Urr Thos. He was a nephew of the fames Jedi master and historian Odan-Urr. and that is how he got his first name and I just stole the second haft of the Dreathos for his Sir name. He was a very young Jedi Padawan and he died early on. The character later returned as simple Odan Thos (Without the connection to Odan-Urr), an extremely old, pacifist Dreathos Jedi Master. I never changed the name because everyone knew me as O or Odan so even though the character has not been that important in comparison to characters like Celestial or Kitana.

THe Username that I currently use if a simple twist to my original username of Ravenous in that is it the same name. The only change is the language that I chose to display it in which is Kanji from the Chinese letterings. The name Ravenous for both my character and my username came from an old book that I read from which a character's name was "Lord of Pain: Ravenous". Since this was my favorite character for the longest time (Also in a the Video Game known as "Mugen") I chose to name myself after him.
