My name comes from back when i was learning TESScrip (To mod oblivion). In this one tutorial you had to make a NPC named Vilanus Villa. As i said, i was learning, and not too great at saving correctly so i ended up making this same NPC 3 or 4 separate times, each time butchering his name a little more, until it was Villonis. Shortly thereafter i bought Warhammer online and had no idea what to name my guy. I was going to go with Villonis, but thought it looked better with only one l. After getting to max level and pvping with the best RvR guild in the game, i decided that Vilonis would be my official video game character name.

Oh boy, here we go:

Back when I was 9 years-old or some such, I played neopets. I had to create an Id. My name is Tristan, and since that was taken, I just arbitrarily tacked on a do. Thus, 'tristando' was born. (Shitty, I know.) Anyways, fast-forward a couple months and I get my account frozen. Someone had been calling me Twisthandle to annoy me but it just kinda stuck, so I used it.(If for some reason you're here, I'm talking about you, skulupta) When I turned 13-14ish, I started counterstrike source and I shortened my name to Twist.

Truncating my real name gives me 'Trist', which I do not like at all. That's part of the reason why Twist stuck: It was similar, and cooler. My friend Pak started calling me Twistacles, which I found hilarious and kept.

My name started out as Mr. Snuggles, but until like a year or 2 ago I just stuck with Snuggles.

I think it was in middle school when I started playing the original Guild Wars when I partied up with a hunter with a pet bear named Mr. Snuggles. I thought it was really cute and nice, so I started using it as an ID... for everything lol. So with that it just stuck with me and I've had it since.

I always loved Fire Emblem and when Super Smash Brothers Melee arrived for the gamecube around 2002, I picked Marth as my character and used to play with him until today, so I decided to use this name as my ID when I entered online gaming around 7-8 years ago.

As you can see, I got Jealous of Blizzards new partner. I love Blizzard so much that any other partner, business or otherwise causes me to create crazy names such as this in order to win my Blizzard love again.

FenneK, because fennec foxes are awesome, I guess, and the K at the end makes it look cooler.

I am not creative at all. I was sitting at my desk thinking of a name for a wow character when a Purina commercial came on the tv. I tried that but it was already taken so I googled pet food companies and used the cooler sounding one that is less known, Nutro!

My ID was created back in my high school days for you guessed it Starcraft 1 and CS and later WoW, but I originally got the idea from a great album called Illmatic! ...however I thought it was creative and would also explain my "state of mind" as I play, which is to crush you with mass hysteria..

PS I also found out its the name of an Irish heavy metal band

Skeletor is one of my favorite characters in any entertainment series, so I made my ID the name of my hero!

I used to play Super Smash Bros. competitively, and I played Snake, so my ID always had something to do with the world 'solid' e.g. Solid Snake. I though just plain old Solid was a little boring so I added in the periods so people would think it was an acronym for something. Since S.O.L.I.D. can't be used in SC2, I just use Solid though.

I am mildly allergic to peanuts, to the point where I prefer not to eat peanuts if I can help it at all, but if accidental ingestion occurs I just get an itchy mouth for a while. That fact and the fact that I'm kind of a small person made my college freshman year roommate give me the nickname Peanut, and it stuck throughout college (I have a sweatshirt with Peanut on the back). When I got into the eSports scene in 2008, I figured that was as good a nick as any, and it's worked out well for me.

Well this thread seems like a great way to up my post count without many people caring so here we goooooo.

In middle school I was one of the captains on the wrestling team, and since I was the only Asian captain people would call me Captain Asia.
