) and when we were thinking of characters names we decided that it would be fun if all of our friends made their own character, giving them some guidelines of coarse, and we would write a story that connected them all. During the creative "character thinking process" my friend asked me what I would like to name my character. I thought a lot about it and I just couldn't think of an appropriate name for my character so he, my friend, suggested that I should just pick a letter of the alphabet and say the first name, starting with that letter, that came to mind. I liked z for some reason, last letter in the alphabet i guess, and Zeke popped into my head. I used the same process to pick out my last name, and since I still liked z the best, zagura was the first thing to pop into my head. Thats how my ID Zekezagura came to be.

I love money. I also love those old SC originals like Coke and Marine. So I just thought why not Greed?

Falco is Hawk in Japnese, and I always liked them.
Falco were always used, so I took my numpad, typed 252, easy to type, to remeber.

Locus Coeruleus is a part of your brain believed to be responsible, amongst others, for reactions to stress and panic. Sounds cool and it is kind of SC2 related

I got it when I was playing the beta instead of reading my biological psychology.

I was originally going to use Sturmgewehr (pronounce the "w" as a "v"), which was the first assault rifle created (STG44) but I didn't want my name to translate into "storm gun" and "weapon" in Deutsch is not as cool a word.
Like my last online nick it's simple for others to remember. The difference is my last preferred username was sexyflanders and I got tired of going to fighting game tournaments and everybody called me flanders.
storm or SW works much better.

Minos - from greek folklore, the judge of the dead
Mal - bad?

I didn't want to be totally unoriginal with just "minos" but i liked "minos" so i put them together and wham! Malminos. Any true significance? No not really, just thought it sounded cool. It's also my steam name for TF2

I was in high school, trying to decide a new / cool name for myself in CS (Though I would use it for all games after that). I was looking through cool Latin words that sounded / looked cool, but also meant something relevant / interesting. I couldn't find anything good after about 15 minutes, so I started to look at German words. I was basically typing in silly stuff like death, plague, shit like that. I settled on Sensenmann because it means Grim Reaper in german. I like the way it sounds. In retrospect, I would have liked something shorter, less awkward for first timers to pronounce. I often get people calling me senman or random shit like that, kinda gets old. Friends just call me sen though.
