why did you pick your username?

[player_of_volleyball]

the title pretty much explains this. just wondering on how people choose their usernames. my is pretty self-explantory.

[markwars]

I have been markwars everywhere I go on the net for over 12 years now. Why? Because my name is Mark and I love Star Wars.

[K/H_Addict]

uhh...you know. i abused playing Kindom Hearts, but recently, i am more into the Tales games, hence my username change everywehre else.

[Tiberius]

My middle initial is T (like James T. Kirk) and I am a Trekkie.

[Cavalier]

Cavalier: (n) a mounted soldier : knight

Knight: (n) a mounted man-at-arms

My last name is Knight, thus my avatar and my username.

[Ketch]

Ketch is a misspelled name Kettch, which is from the Star Wars: X-Wing series of novels.

Kettch was a fictional character IN the book, so fictional-fictional character. They invented him as a ploy to trick some company that was giving animals intelligence. They said they had this ewok named Kettch in their squadron and that he could fly an X-wing using leg extensions (it was pretty hillarious how they explained it).

So Wedge Antilles put a stuffed ewok on him and wore a black suit and flew and X-wing like this.

Later they used the stuffed ewok to play pranks on Wedge. It was my favourite part and I picked the name when I joined a clan to play a game called X-wing Vs. Tie Fighter (Space Comabt Sim), and I have had it ever since (10 years ago).

[Uprising]

Named after a Bob Marley album. I <3 Marley.

[Taelord]

I am very sad to say I named myself after seeing He who must not be named's Siggy and Avatar. I feel ashamed now, bbut at the time he wasn't bad.

[The Malicious Pigpig]

My username was inspired by the comic book genious, Jhonen Vasquez. Most of you, however, will know him as the creator of the prevoiusly canceled Nickolodeon show, Invader Zim.

Pigs are a recurring joke amonst the show's characters. They are used in most situations, actually.

[yagyuninja]

Mine started about 5 years ago. My friends at work had this "Halo" game that I had heard so much about. I picked Ninja as my tag. I don't play very sneaky, really. I'm actually pretty upfront/kamikaze. Actually, I don't even like ninjas that much, on principle. I'm more of a samurai guy.

Anyway, when I got my own Xbox (right when Halo 2 came out) and signed up for xbox live, I didn't want to be ninja26583. I always liked the story of Yagyu Jubei, the legendary samurai/ninja/assassin/bodyguard for the shogun. Also, the Yagyu Shinkage style of fighting appealed to me.

So, Yagyuninja. Samurai/Ninja. Sort of.
