Random question that has absolutely nothing to do with RO, unless in your case it does!

 

How did you choose your username? Is it based on a game character of yours, an event in your life, a homage to someone or something, or just a funny word you found in the dictionary?

 

I can't speak for the person who first made this account, who named it akaisasori, but the name I chose for it (AlmrOfAtlas) is based on Sion Eltnam Atlasia from Melty Blood, who studies Alchemy at a place called the Atlas Academy. I friggin love Melty Blood (Tsukihime as well!), and she happens to be my main in it XD

My username (Dead Intern) is an anagram of my real name :>

 

My subsquent alts are then suffixed with Intern, for consistency.

My username was given to me by one of my friends when he got drunk :p_swt:

 

He wanted "a different nickname for each pair of heaphones I owned", then declared that my nickname was now Maki.

DarkGazer is pretty much my Steam name. A friend gave me that name when I was first starting out on the world of MMOs (RAN Online, if anyone even knows/remembers that)  and couldn't decide on what I should call my first character.

I just grew attached to it over time, I guess. Kinda a lil' cool too when my Steam buddies would always refer to me as "Dark" in voice chat. :heh:

My user name was given to me by the guys that were running the local Rocky Horror Picture Show cast back in 1997. They had wondered who this odd middle-aged lady in the front row center seat was. The theater was in my neighborhood and all the local kids were always at the show and they all called me mom. One night as the guys were introducing the cast, they suddenly pointed at me and introduced me as Rockymom. The name kind of stuck.

IGN - I have several characters named for either RHPS characters or the actors that portrayed them. My alts guild is named Don't Dream It and the emblem is the RHPS lips.

This is one of the character names I use in any online game. Unfortunately, it is already in use here in iRO so I had to give my GX a different name. <_<

 

Damn you, iRO's Exuro.

 

LOLjk.

Vegemil B is my favorite Soy Milk here in Korea. So much better than Vegemil A. And its also the username of a character in a Korean indie film that I watched, so I adopted it for myself as well. 베지밀비 최고! ^_^

So many good stories! It's fun hearing how everyone came up with their names ^^

 

Except for Xellie's cryptic cuteness which only like 5 people on this forum will understand  :p_devil:

Some of the other character names I use probably came from here:

I like astronomy and mythology. So my characters' names are mostly ancient greek or arabic  - obscure deities or stars .

 

(I don't speak neither greek nor arabic IRL, though :heh:  )

 

Erydanos is a misspelling of Eridanos, the River constelation and was the name I gave to my first MMORPG character ever. (There's an Eridanos char here in RO, albeit apparently forgotten by his user, that's not me guys!)

 

I decided that in order to keep some consistency, all my forum accounts in the games I play will try to have the same name. :p_devil:

 

And actually I like Erydanos. You can call me Ery (which sounds cute) or Danos (which sounds kinda cool and more mature) :p_laugh:
