Explain thy Screen name!

[Elven Doritos]

Explain how you came up with your screen name, in a similar vein to this thread!

Elven Doritos.... Um. Well, I just juxtaposed the words when I signed up for the Paizo boards a while back. Not sure what was going through my head, but it stuck.

[Poseptune]

Growing up I've always had a love for the ocean and ocean life. I also enjoyed the Greek and Roman myths, so when I started gaming back in highschool I needed a handle. Poseidon was my first, but my friends convinced be (through mockery to change it), so I also use Neptune. Since we are able to change our names here, mine will be related to some form of a sea god, or a Titan (Oceanus)

[beejazz]

Beejazz is a bene tielexu (sp?) midget assassin from the Dune series.

Also, chalchiuhtlatonal... mind if I steal that? I've been looking for a good ocean/storm/octopus god name.

Ask the Aztecs. I don't care

[Velox]

Velox was my first DnD characters name (an elven thief schmuck hero). I got that off a peice of candy I was eating when my brother asked me "what do you want your characters name to be?". It was an "alien" themed candy with a picture of a mean-ass alien named a "velox" on it. I've used the name since, for sentimental reasons. I'm thinking on a change.

[the_taken]

I literaly tried creating a WotC acount 38 times, each with a diferent screen name that didn't include a number or an underscore. So I declared that all my possible names were 'taken'.

I am the_taken, that name you wanted but somebody else has.

[Ghost]

My current handle?

Quite simply, it's what I do here. Well, not just here, but also whenever I write a story (or start one, at least), or whenever I daydream.

I don't usually go for any comedic effect when I choose screen handles.

[Xeviat]

Xeviat is a main character in a story I'm writing, which I hope to publish as my first novel. It's really that simple, though I have no idea how I came up with the name.

[SA]

My previous username on the Wizards boards was Incubus_Rampant, and when I changed I wanted a name that had similar religious/erotic connotations, hence: Salacious Angel, which is arguably exactly what Incubi are.

(Okay, so technically they're demons...)

[SilvercatMoonpaw]

I have a fascination with the color gray, and I've always thought I'm, in essence, a cat.  Silvercat, because silver sounds cool.  I wanted to come up with a name that sounded cliche elven (can't remember why now), and so I just went with Moonpaw.  And now I can't be anyone else.

[Wrexham3]

I'm from Wrexham, it was my nickname in uni, and it took me three time to log on to the WotC board.  Not a great story I know, but nevertheless my own.    

[Hibou]

I'm secretly part of the Inquisition.

[Túrin]

I'm secretly part of the Inquisition.

Hey, you know the rules say you can't post that on a public forum!

...

I mean...

Huh, is that so?

As for mine, I've always been a fan of Túrin from Tolkien's Silmarillion, and I used the name for a short-lived character in some campaign, that happens to be my favourite character ever. I used it when I signed up for the WotC boards and have been using it as a nick on various places since then.

Túrin

[Matt Larkin (author)]

As for my screen name, as I mention in the Rogueâ,¬,,¢s Gallery: the phoenix knight was an idea I had years ago (early high school or late middle school, I don't remember for sure) of a phoenix choosing someone to grant part of its powers in exchange for some price. I've used as a sort of logo or signature for my work on games, and as a handle on any forum in which I need one and it's available. I've also tried to work the idea into many of game projects, though it's only been prominent in Kishar - in the form of Gaedren, the fallen phoenix knight, turning messianic anti-hero.

[SDragon]

my current display name, coupled with the title, is a blatent parody.

my usual dislay name is simply my way of using "the savage dragon" as a screenname, while keeping away from image comics's lawyers, and fitting it into something that can be useed almost universally.

'Ona'envalya' is an approximation of my real name, in elven.
