Khenra is how I named my first Diablo 2 character about 8 years ago. It was a barbarian, ofcourse. I liked the name, so I kept it as my nickname.

My name should ring a bell to a few people.

I originally got the name from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Crissaegrim is THE most powerful sword in that game. Its a cool sword with a cool name so naturally I just chose it (since it was also quite long and tongue-twisty).

But what I soon realized was when I googled the word Crissaegrim, I got this - Tolkien's definition

It turns out that Crissaegrim is the name of a mountain range in Middle-Earth. My chinese name is "Yu-Xann" which roughly translates to "got mountain". It was too much of a coincidence that I knew I just had to use this name.

Jonathan R Kirby is my name. Everyone one calls me Kirby. Therefore, since Kirby is already taken, jrkirby is my initials ending with kirby. It also happens to mean junior kirby, and I am the younger Kirby in my family... so I am always jrkirby or Junior_Kirby.

My BF was in the room when I first installed SC2 and was trying to think up an account name. He suggested "Paprika" from an earlier discussion we'd had about what we might name new pet rats, and I thought it was good so I used it.

And on the plus side, it kind of sounds like the the noise overlords make.


"Seltsam" is "strange" in German.

I grew up in Germany.
I am quite a strange person.

I took Latin for four years in high school. At the start of my freshman year we were given popular names of ancient Rome. The Romans had three names (a given name, clan name, and family name) and I chose something I thought was cool: Servius Fulvius Torquatus

I was lead to believe that Torquatus meant "twisted", and while the famous Romans with that name were a bit crazy, that wasn't the case. Nevertheless, I liked to break out my Latin name every now and again.

When I registered for iccup May '09 I chose sf_torquatus as my player name. August '09, when I got tired of lurking on TL and decided to post, I chose Servius_Fulvius to complete the gambit.

But, as time went on I found that people had a real hard time typing it out in iccup channels. This summer I started a smurf account under the name PoweRThirsT (youtube if the reference is lost on you). When I loaded up Starcraft 2 I decided to go with the easier moniker (and have already received a few messages from opponents saying they loved me based on nothing by my name!).

About the same time all the hype was all over the place for SC2 and I made a TL account, I was heavily into Smash Bros Brawl, playing game and watch.

Back air (Shortened to Bair in SSBB vernacular) was his signature move in a way, in which he fucked up yo shit with a turtle. Also, this explains my sig, because it explains, in detail, how to accomplish such a feat.

If it was not that, I would have went with Aribol, which was a deliberate mispelling of Arid'hol from the Wheel of Time books. Aridhol.

(Nothing to do with the schutztaffel) my name was originally S Exectutioner (clever I know) back when I played GuildWars GvG (and was about 13 :p ), but it eventually got banned by ANet, I added an extra S to Ss and ANet didn't seem to mind because I used that for about 4 years after and never got banned. I have since dropped the Executioner bit to just Ss, however most sites, (including TL.net) won't let me have a name that short, so I've lengthened it to TheSs... however these days I pronounce it Thess rather than The S S.

Stupid I know.

Bucket

You may or may not have heard of a briliant show called "Keeping up Appearances" Well anyway in the show there is a certain lady that claims her last name is Bouquet and acts in a very posh way accordingly, howevery everyone calls her by her actual name, Bucket. My actual last name is Bouquet and ever since high school people have been calling me Bucket because of the show.

There was an infamous picture of me on myspace with my head in a space helmet. My previous alias was fuzz which was given to me by an old friend per the large hair I had at the time.

On a rainy day in january 1996 the glorious apogee games published the famous game "duke nukem 3d".
Some friends and i were getting really bored in computer science class around this time and we decided that the duke would be a great guy to help us spend the time in school and so we installed this great game on several pc's in our school.

We spend countless hours during school time and after school finished (we could use the schools computers because we were members of the computer club) playing this gem in our small network.

If you've ever played Duke Nukem 3d you may remember the quite unique "shrinker" gun, which was used to shrink other players and to step on them to kill them.
The nick "shrinkmaster" was given to me by my friends for my love to the shrink-gun and my skills with it.
I've used this nick during my whole gaming career which includes Duke 3d, Quake 2, ActionQuake, Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Quake 3, Quake 3:Urban Terror and many more games.
And i hopefully use it for many years and games to come.

Contraud - in Spanish Contra Ud. = Against you. It had a double meaning because i played warcraft 3 TFT and I hated undead with a passion as a NE player. so it also means against undead.
I'm against picketing, but i don't know how to show it.

I chose mariofan years and years ago and needed something that sounded at least marginally cooler.

My initials are "dmg" so it's both "just damage" and "just me". Couple that with all the different meanings of just, and I become both humble "only or merely me" and "guided by truth, reason, justice, and fairness" (from dictionary.com). Also I only deal damage (I always choose a melee class in games) and dealing a fair amount of damage appeals to me. Words are fun!

my TL.net user ID is a quite different story than the story behind my ingame user ID or better saying nickname in general...

about xaeiu: i'm in a community for almost - wouw...now that i think about it, really long time...damn - 12 years now and they had some namechanges so far. however they once were named quite similar and since i'm the first one of our community who joined TL.net i decided to go for this name since i always kinda liked it uniqueness...
