Friend called me Raincoat in Swedish one time cause I had a raincoat with me a sunny summer-day, and well then we said it in English really stupid, and there the nick was born...

Honestly, it was just something I did 'cause I was making a YT account and wanted something I thought was cool. I like it and all my friends like it, so I stuck with it.

When I played MGS back in the day, they kept mentioning the word 'genome' in the cutscenes (referring to genome soldiers, cloning, etc.). I had no idea what the word meant.

Thought it sounded cool so I just made it my username.

My initials are KY and KY Jelly is a lubricant for sexual purposes. I don't have a car, so when my friends arrange something they ask '-and who's going to bring the KY?'

The joke stuck as a permanent nickname, and I couldn't think of a better ID :D

Unfortunately no spaces allowed for bnet usernames so it's TheKY, which a lot of people think is Theky...but oh well.

I box, my trainer David, always refers to punching, or a flurry of punchs as dropping bombs. Kinda corny, but I registered for TL in a rush and never really though of how long i'm going to hold this ID

I took this moniker when I was in high school and was reading an annotated version of the Inferno by Dante.

Dude didn't like pope Boniface VIII very much, and put all of his cronies in hell to suffer.

Bellicose was the adjective my english teacher used to describe me when he found me getting my ass kicked at school and being a vicious bastard back to the guys doing it - back in the day when I was a bit of a social leper. I wore it as a badge of pride and stuck my first name at the start when I created my ID. Only changed it when clans required it.

772 is a pager code for letters of my last name

It was the first thing that came to my head when I first signed up to Battle.net when Starcraft was released.

Not that interesting aside from the fact that I've been using the same Starcraft ID since I was in Jr. High.

Making a nick for myself has and will be always hard and tough thing to do.
I usually got my inspirations from music as I did my current one "Ryndika". I use it everywhere.

The song that gave me the final inspiration for "Ryndika" was "Rob Zombie - Superbeast".

Well for all you guys that think yours is nerdy,
I got mine from my science text book, it was originally NiSO, which is nickel sulphate, I am a fan of capital letter and then all lower case so I changed it to Niso.
