Mine is pretty simple. Had a Sega Genesis and used to play Sonic 2 with all my cousins and friends like all the time..and Tails was my favorite character in the game, so I pay homage to Miles Tails Prower, the fox that sparked my love of video games.

When I was four I had a nightmare about bluetack, I can't remember what it was about but it I did remember that it was the scariest shit I had ever experienced, so when I chose my ID at one of my dad's LAN parties when I was six, I knew exactly who I wanted to be.

The K was dropped because there's usually not enough space for the full name.

Mingle came from the days of sitting at the computer on boxing day after all the visiting family have left. Playing some games when i realised i needed an account name so looked at my desk to see what name i could use and low behold the chocolates i was eating at the time were Mingle's! That was 2009 gone by that name ever since!

TemujinGK

GK= Ghengis Khan,

Temujin= Ghengis Khan's actual name, Ghengis Khan is like a title basically meaning "King of Kings"

I've always really enjoyed frankly all types of history from the Indus Valley civilizations to the Russian Empire and everything in between. I had a profile on Kongregate.com that got really high before the site became all money-oriented and it was TemujinGK so i was like why not continue it!

It all started back in late 2004 when I needed a cute, short name for a Gnome Mage in World of Warcraft, I started using Nyx that later grew into Nex, been using it ever since. Nexxie is the name I use if Nex is taken.

My name goes back a long way

I'm obviously a fan of the Ender books, so that's the first part.

EnderSword was originally just my user name on an MMO like 12 years ago, but it wasn't actually meant as a character name at all

You had a login name, then characters with their own names inside the game, the name 'Ender' was taken, so I added Sword.

Originally I liked it since everything was lowercase, so endersword could be read as Ender-Sword and Ender's Word. which I liked for some reason.

When I got SC2, I entered EnderSword because I'm now used to using it as a login ID, but I didn't realize it would actually be my public name on the ladder etc...

I've been meaning to change it, but now since people in my clan know the name and I have a youTube channel with the name and all this stuff, It's just more annoying to change it than to leave it as is.

The story behind my ID:

I was watching GrethSC one day, and then THE QUESTION came: What will your username be?
It was a vid-rep of ZarQuark vs (??)
My name was WarQuark then, since it sounded cool.
Alot of time later, i got tired of being called Quark. I changed my ID to WarBobz. Bobz from Billy-Bob, not from Boobs.

Mine goes back about 4 years I think, maybe 5, to when I was playing WoW. I'd had a few characters, always with unique names, but never a night elf.

One evening, on my rubbish server (Shattered Halls EU) I'd sat and watched a horde druid running around Stormwind on his own. He was rooting people and healing, he was in cat form one second, bear the next, then travel form! He was running around killing people left and right. This guy was great! My human warrior, Elandros, was about level 40, no money for a ground mount yet (this was back before it cost 1g or w/e it does now). I thought 'man I'm defo rolling a druid, sod this warrior lark'. Ahh Jakuten, if only you knew what you'd done!

Upon sitting at that character create screen for an hour, I decided to check out wow wiki and was clicking through all the famous Night Elves, looking for inspiration.

'Illidan hmm... Malfurion hmm'
'Malfidon... nah, Illirion... eww... Mallidon.... perfect!'

Its basically Malfurion squashed into Illidan (sounds painful O.o).

It's stuck as my main ID ever since, through realm changes and faction changes in WoW, to other games I've played and today, its my name in everything I log onto. Its never usually taken too (although some twat has now named some SW:KOTOR character that and some forum newb has stolen it on the SW forums, grr).

I've always been a gamer, always been a hardcore gamer. I've always wanted to be pro. I'm also a super comic book nerd, and was reading the part in spider-man where spidey and venom had to take on carnage. That, and everytime I played a game online, or against someone most of the time I destroyed them and my friends would say dood, thats effin carnage right there. So it just hit me. But I am thinking of changing it to SavioR. TO honor the greatest of zerg players. Regardless of his faults as a man, I respect the skill he had.

I used to play Halo PC and my ID was always Drako which is a misspelling of the Latin word for Dragon

P one day I just decided that I wanted a different name... and I was playing Halo and Master Chief's armor suit is named Mjolnir and it is what gave him most of his ability and was like this magnificent thing. So I went with it. Also, Mjolnir is the name of Thor's Hammer in Norse Mythology... who wouldn't want to be that? :DD

I used to have one of those IDs that sounds like an 8 year old made it up, because I made it up when I was 8

. It was Doomrider.

By the time I reached 18 (about a year ago) I decided that it was a pretty fail ID, and I needed to come up with a new one. So I popped my free name change for SCII, and sat at the login screen for almost 2 hours trying to come up with a name. I was thinking of making it reference some historical or mythical figure, or something; I don't really know what I was looking for.

I had an ongoing joke with my friends that Korean IDs are always of the form "adjective_noun", where the noun is often a unit from SC. Suddenly, as I was sitting at my computer, the name ManicMarine came into my head. By this time I had gotten pretty tired of trying to come up with a name, so I plugged it in before I had time to reconsider. Boom, ManicMarine I was. In retrospect, I think it was a pretty inspired choice and today I am totally happy with it.

Thelolas
The = God in latin
lol = laugh out loud
as = is some post additives to make it all flow.

Of course when i created this name is didnt actually think about all this. I cam up with this after the fact. I think i just randomly slapped the keyboard a few times and i came up with this name. And now i really like it and use it alot.

I wanted my username to be some Latin word, but I'm pretty sure it's a typo because I can't seem to find it in any Latin dictionary.
