when i was like 12 in a net cafe, i wanted to play wc3 again so i had to make a new account (hadn't played for a while, i was playing diablo 2 at home), and at this time i was totally into metal music, so i named myself toxicity (song by system of a down), but it was taken, so my acc was called toxicity). as it's too long, people called me toxi, so it stayed.
i like it though

Mine is... strange.

Way back when, I'd say 6-7 years ago (almost 23 now) me and a friend of mine were going to start a band, like pretty much anyone as a kid. So, we looked into artist names, because we figured we'd be cool like that.

His was some weird ass thing I can't even remember, but he hopped on some site and looked one up for me.

Thus, was Raktavijan born.

It's actually a demon or asura, from Buddhist (I think?) mythology. The creature, as it bleeds, every drop of its blood becomes a clone of itself, essentially being able to make an army of itself... o_O

Kinda freaked me out when I found that out, not too long ago, maybe a year?

So that's mine, nothing too special and some people actually recognize it as being from Buddhist mythology (if that's where I remember it from...)

I always loved the golden sun games. The combat style involves using elemental spirits, which have 3 different activation levels, set standby and summon.

My first name is Max, my last name starts with D and I was 11 at the time. Also I'm not very original.

When I picked my name back in 1999 when I first picked up Starcraft Brood War I was sitting around with my cousin and we were coming up with names. He told me to use "perfectcircle"

It sounded awsome to me so I used it. Little did i know it was the name of a Band he liked. So I used perfect circle for 10 years in both SC:BW and tons of other games. When i picked up sc2 i realized that Perfectcircle was too long of a name so I shortened it to Perfect.

Little did i know that there was a former WC3 player named perfect. So now everytime i play someone they think im him. It doesnt help that I am a high masters lvl player and he usually sits at Top Masters or GM and everyone at that lvl thinks they are playing Perfect. Now known as RGNPerfect

Don't worry I'm aware of your existence

Started playing FFXI as Meatwad and deleted that account.

New character was Meatster because Meatwad was taken. My xbox gamertag Meatster always got the same messages after kicking people out of gears 1 lobbys. Lol fag u meat like dick fag sent from XXXsniperxxxheadshot535xxxnoscopexxxquckscopexxxprodigyXXX

Eventually dropped the name Meatster for Swad because Meatwad minus the Meat plus a S sounds badass until you find out it means smoke weed all day. Turns out going from a name people make dick jokes about to the countless messages from stoners talking about how cool smoking pot is is worse.

My nick used to be PoWn, and I changed it because I think it sound's lame and I don't actually PoWn. So I asked a friend to help me think of a name, and Mirage sounds like a cool name since it means Illusion. And I want to be an Illusion too >:DD xD

Mine is very simple, when I was a little kid and I was playing Dark Age of Camelot I hit the random name butten and it came out with Ermogh, I have used that name for every thing till this day.

My other name I use on games is Luffwaffle, and it is simply a spoof off of luftwaffa because I am a big WW2.

name, ASLRightNow

Mine came from a joke running with a bunch of my friends and I.

Basically, while playing some Counter Strike, this guy kept asking ASL the whole time. Spammed it. So from there we got in the habit of yelling ASL!!! when someone new came into the server. When faced with opposition I started saying "ASL! Right the f*** now!!!" That's when it started to stick.

So now, just using the ASL as our own personal clan tag, and the RightNow to commemorate

Always been a fan of the Chilipeppers, so that's where I got the Ayo. Lux was my clan from a game I played back in middle school, Rakion. Missed the game and my team a lot so i transferred over the tag to SC2.

The zenith is supposedly the point in the sky directly above you. And i figured "The" wasn't very original. Regretted it very quickly, shoulda stuck with the id i use absolutely everywhere else, lol. Alas, no namechanges on TL.

My Bnet name is EnnisdelMar. I started a Final Fantasy game (I think it was IX) right after watching Brokeback Mountain and named the main character Ennis. Have been doing it ever since, especially after Heath Ledger died. RIP.
