Cracken was my original tag I wanted online, but back in the days (when the 'net was young, and I was stupid, I.E: 15) it was taken on AIM. So I added the san after it, because at the time I was kinda obsessed with the Japanese culture. (Dragonball Z will do that to young, impressionable minds).

Cracken is the last name of Pash Cracken, son of General Cracken of the Rebel Alliance/New Republic. He was an A-Wing pilot, which I love to death. Speedy snubfighter of doooom.

I've used this ID, and some variations of it, all my life.

I don't have a cool story behind my ID.
I guess I used to hang out a lot at raves and freeparties, and all the goddamn drug addicts couldn't remember my name so they just called me acid 'cause I was on LSD all the time.

Chaotic Damian

For me Chaotic is sort of a clan name. It was the unofficial name of my circle of friends in high school. Initially it was the name of a band we dreamed of forming (haha, to this day none of us play instruments), but eventually, it just sort of came to stand for us. Damian is the name of a character I dreamed up around the same time. Since Damian is a Devil Hunter in the vein of Dante of Devil May Cry, I thought it would be cool to name him after the Devil's son from The Omen. I changed the spelling for two reasons, the first being that I wanted the name to be at least somewhat original, and the second being that I find my version more aesthetically pleasing.

As for my SC2 name, Talon, I actually thought that name up as a file name for Zelda: Ocarina Of Time. Since then these have pretty much become my standard names.

Dr. ROCKZO is the rock 'n' roll clown from Metalocalypse. He does cocaine.

In short (or 1000 words) I'm this guy:

Alternatively, I use Dr. ROCKNZO when ROCKZO's taken because I'm from New Zealand.

And about the capital letters? I had caps lock on when I first typed it out (and failed on the Dr. part obviously) and liked the way it looked. So I just stuck with Dr. ROCKZO.

When i was 15 i got a tattoo of the eye of Ra on my back and when i hit 18 i got it covered by a Spartan shield, but in the shield the outline of what looks like a Army Private rank you can still see some of the eye, since Lakedaimon is a form of the word Lacedaemon or Laconia for ancient Sparta i thought it was nice to have it combined into RaLakedaimon, although casters and my friends dont ever pronounce it right, i think the only one to say it right was someone that re-streamed GSL but i cant remember his name

At first it was Hyperion.

- Will be the name for my D3 Demon hunter.

can be read as Blaster-Ion also

Back when we first got dial up at home and there really wasn't much to do I spent some time browsing bulletin boards.

I needed a name to use and I wanted something that sounded cool but appealed to my darkner nature. So I chose Darcikon for Dark Icon. I kept it for the soul reason that I made a post once and someone wrote "I don't know about you but his name scares me" :D

Nowadays I just go by Ikon (which is my ingame ID anyway).

Oddly enough I try to register kendrew everywhere but it's always taken so kenderu it is!

My first ID was douglashv because my name is douglas and my last names are hernandez vargas, later on I begun playing an amazing game called starcraft Broodwar LOL, back in 2002. and I choose y0y0 has my ID, it's because I'm a stuttering guy (I dont stutter a lot but you can notice it). So when I want to say "yo" ("I" in spanish) most of the times I say "yo..yo". And I thought that it might look cool with zeros instead of o's. So now I have y0y0 as my ID in many games. But because you can't use zeros in starcraft 2, I have yoyo has my ID.

When I was 9 my mom created an AIM account for me. I could not think of a name so she tried Fitzhunt, but that was taken. So she I added a 1 at the end (my name is Hunter Fitz).

I made my name when I was 11 or 12 and played Socom on the ps2. Nothing special behind it, I liked monkeys and a steel monkey must be able to take more bullets then a regular one! (;

I have used the ID for pretty much every online game for the past 10 years or so..everyone just calls me Steel now though.

I thought this name up for my PSN account cause I wanted a name that sounded like something, but everyone it wasn't anything, and one that I knew no - one else wold possibly have. So now I use this name for almost everything, PSN, XBL, youtube, steam. If you find soemone named Retgery online chances are it's me

Danjoh

I simply stole my cousins idea of combining the first part of his surname with the first part of his firstname...

But I ended up getting a ton of whispers in finnish, so I switched it around... Downside is that it's taken half of the time... -_-

So I still ocassionaly use Johdan when Danjoh is taken... and when both of those are taken, I use a 3rd one I created when I first played diablo 2... I just hit random keys until I got something that rolled nicely off the tounge, and kinda liked that name, considered it unique, until a year later when I saw the D2 strategy guide was written by a guy whos surname was all but 1 character from identical to my nick -_-.

Damn those sublimal things... I swear, I never even read the D2 strategy guide!

Neddal

My ID comes from the random name generator from Dark Age of Camelot.. I rolled a troll shaman and did not know what name to pick so I pressed generate name a couple of times and Nedda came up.. And I was like aah well this will do, but the name was already in use.. So I pressed a random letter on my keyboard and it became Neddal...

So after a year or 2 I pressed my char and the chatlog stated that "This is Neddal, SHE is a troll shaman (or something like that).... So apparently I was playing a female troll and I only noticed it after 2 years

Me and my friends used to go to internet cafes a lot when we were young. I didn't have a set ID until one day I decided: TODAY IS THE DAY. But couldn't think of anything so just threw my hands at the keyboard.

I'm pretty sure it had a 'g' in it somewhere originally.

I really wish i had a cool story for my name but it was literally the log in screen for SC2 Thinking it was like SC1 i just put the name for what i thought was going to be the SINGLE PLAYER File save name. 10 minuets later i'm going on b-net only to realize " Oh shit now my name is Danny" So that's how my name came into existence. The only way of salvaging some pride was again thinking back to SC1 I thought " well at least im the only guy named Danny in all of NA B-net" 2 months later......i found somebody with my name. So now im just a guy with the name Danny -.- Pretty plain and boring/stupid i know. Thank god for name change.
