Rezzan is actually pretty random, I got the idea for the name when I made a healer class in the MMO Ragnarok Online, the very first time i played the game.. because when ppl want to be ressurected you say "ress me" so i figured being a healer class having something simular to "ress" in the name made sense..

and also because if you read the name like "ressan" it kinda sounds like "ress(essurect) him" in swedish slang

I was in a amateur team in DotA called XG, so i decided to call myself XnG, G because of my initials and X to make it similiar to the team name . Always loved the number 7.

So, the reason I named myself Tryxtira... I started off my internetlife as Zacco. I just made it up because well.. It looks kind of cool, It sounds kind of cool, and I simply was a 11-year-old or so. Then I started playing WoW and wanted something a bit more fitting. Me and my friend leveled together and created our chars together so we first decided class, gender and race, and then tried to figure our some cool names.

I probably spent ours before settling with a Night Elf Druid called Tryxtira, and as WoW works, you become connected to that name and Zacco faded away quickly. I'm always being called Tryx, but I don't like the looks of that name as much, also, that name is actually sometimes taken, whereever you see Tryxtira, you can be almost certain it's me, which is pretty cool!

when i was in like 8th grade, i found out that korean music existed. i was blown away because until then, i was the only korean kid i knew, so all i really listened to was like blink 182 and whatnot. well, i had my little stint with being super fucking asian because i was like, well.. i'm super far behind in being culturally aware, might as well go balls to the wall.
thus, i found out about mashimaro. and i have small fucking eyes. like puny. and i was also a huge chubster back in the day. naturally i was instantly attached to the chubby bunny.
so maplestory was in its beta, but the name mashimaro was obviously taken >=/. so i just did lvlashimaro haha.

IGN in sc2 is KalbiKing. quite simply, since i work out a lot, i eat a lot. no one out-eats me. kalbi is korean bbq. that shit is delicious. the name was meant to be.

The only thing I love as much as gaming is writing, so a few years ago I changed my tag to Scribe or DScribe (Play on my first initial and Describe) if the first one isn't available. Since I'm not very good at SC2, I'm just Scribble. =P

Back when i was 13 or 14, that i was wayyy into music, i took after bach's guide into making fugues, the 'Kunst der fugue', or the 'Art of Fugue'. It also has some parkour connotations in spanish, seeing as how fugue and escapism have the same word to their meaning: Fuga.

Edit: In SC2 I'm energycore. I created that one when i was 10 or 11; I saw a chart of the parts of a battery.

Well, my "Phlatline" is an old one. I think I used it over a decade. It started out as "Flatline" taken from Gibson's Neuromancer where there is a character mentioned as Charlie Flatline. My friend said that it perfectly suits my personality so he nicked me Flatline^^. Since that is very common nick in gaming world I use a lot of permutations of the nick and one of them is Phlatline bcause I think it reads the same. Could be wrong tho

I thought of Cona, then realized that was super feminine so went with Kona.
It wasn't until later that I realized every coffee drinker on the ladder would call me out about it.

kier is the first half of my first name and panda because I'm asian and I think pandas are cuddly.

my ID on AIM (lol) was originally going to be kierbear, but it was taken. It's been my ID since my junior year in high school. It's my XBL and steam ID too. Anything game related, or non-professional, I use the moniker of kierpanda.

When I was younger my older brother drew a really funny and quick drawing of some weird rat like looking clown. And he named him Hongo the clown. And I carry that name to honor now!

My friends kept calling me 'zhiro' since I'm very tall ( zhiro = short for zhiraf ( giraffe ) ) so I added 1 more o to make it more cool 'Zhiroo' and stuck with it. I have changed my SC2 name to Scarf since I love scarves.

Mine is the title of a short story by my favorite author (HP Lovecraft), and at the time I made it I played only Zerg, whose overall play style I feel is encapsulated by the words "crawling chaos."

...or maybe I should've called myself "inferiority complex." D:

Mine is an native American word for chief, similar to sagamore, but in a different language.

Apparently now there are higher tiered runescape enemies called Sachem Bloodragers, so people think I play runescape unfortunately.

I called my character in WoW Drollen. Which in Dutch means "poops." Unfortunately half my server was Dutch. After being whispered to in Dutch every day I thought that I didn't want the same hassle in SC2. So I called myself Drolla, which just sounds uber sexy baller.
