When I was a little kid, I loved Halo. So I used to name my usernames "Stealth Elite" which is the name of the stealth covenant on Halo. After a while of using that, I bought WoW, and I realized that I couldn't have two words spaced in my characters name. So after about 10 minutes of thinking I came up with the completely random name of Whole. It later developed into Whole Grain, Wholegrn, ect.

In the past, I used to always use ____Dra90n, like FireDra90n. But when I started playing WoW, they couldnt allow numbers in the names, and FireDragon was taken, so I had to think of something different. I wanted something with dragons and fire, so i combined them together and came up with Draconicfire.

Too bad there ain't no story behind mine. I only remember that I was stoned like everyday and just decided to stop carelessly browsing on TL.net forever and make an account myself and I just used my StarCraft nickname.

How did I come up with NoUShutUp...

Back in the good ol' days where watching TV was something that people do, there was this cartoon show called "The Simpsons". In one of the episodes Bart Simpson is annoying Lisa and they said something like this:

Lisa: "Shut up!"
Bart: "No you shut up!"
Lisa: "Ugh... forget it... (something like that"
Bart: "No you shut up!"

At the time, I found it hilarious and I have used the ID, NoUShutUp since then... (Some people also called me NUSU for short).

Well I am from Peru, my last name is "Vizcarra" so my friends called me "Vizcacha" (a little rabbit like animal) and then they shortened it to "Catcha", shortly after it was "Catch" and I had a really really dumb friend, but very funny who called me "CATZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ" every time, stressing on the Z, all of my homies told him time and time again that my nickname was "Catch" and not "CatZ" but he insisted and eventually everyone gave up and started calling me "CatZ"

so.. not a cat person or anything, i dont mind cats, but my nickname came from what my friends called me and call me up until today (and none of them really play starcraft or any pc games

)

rev. = reverend
elation = "an emotion of happiness"

rev.elataion (that could be Interpreted in many ways, harrharr)

also there is of course in the New Testament, the last book, The Book of the Revelation of John. also called, The Apocalypse of John, which lead wikipedia to say "Apocalypse, from the Greek, is a synonym for 'Revelation'". If that's true or not I'm not sure since I haven't studied that any further. Feel free to correct/confirm it.

Any way, the entitlement of 'reverend of happiness' and its supposed synonymity with Apocalypse started to vibrate my humour-bone so I chose that.

I needed a name for a character in Asheron's call for the darktide server, so I thought, I like the sh sound, lets do that:
sh
hmm, now I need a second part, al?
shal
now what? my last name ends in die, soo...
shaldie
not enough vowels
shaladie
too many a's
hmm, let's get rid of the 1st a instead, make it an i
shiladie

it was not until later when people were trying to pronounce it, that I realised the last section could be pronounced lady...

Proper pronounciation as I say it in my head/thought when I made it:
shil-a-die

pronounciations I've heard:
shy-lady
shy-la-die
shy-la-dee
shi-la-dee
shil-a-dee
sheela (like steve erwin used to say a lot) die

as i grew older (28 now) I figured it was time to grow up, so i switched it to Mr.Ch4rms

Misrah is easy- Its just my subtle attempt of spelling misery.

Misery: The state of suffering and want as a result of physical circumstances or extreme poverty.

~Mental or emotional unhappiness or distress.

I have always used this nick name

It kind of goes with my philosophy of life. Loneliness is the strongest emotion, and i only seek pleasure in life. I live for pleasure. I believe humanity is in a constant state of misery. Misery will always be your companion, so enjoy your stay and get comfortable Misrah.

When I was making an ID for my first online account ever, I was infatuated with gundam wing. It was a great show and I loved it, but all of the names were taken. I remember trying something, then mashing backspace, then type Tallgeese, without looking, but I didn't backspace all the way, leaving Sa- in front of Tallgeese.

Voila, Satallgeese is born.

In Everquest I hit the random name generator with my eyes closed about 10+ times and took whatever came.

Much less amazing than most of you, but what works, works.

I was extremely bored one day in what must have been 7th grade so I started writing a ridiculous story in which every other line had some sort of glaring contradiction. Being in 7th grade and trying to think of the most ridiculous name I could got me Seniores Jodee. I lost the story maybe a year later
after a friend drew some equally terrible pictures for it that had nothing at all to do with the story.

Since I'm probably never gonna find it again I keep the nickname to remind me how hilarious I thought it was. It works out because if I actually read it again now it wouldn't be nearly as funny. Since then I've shortened it down and use either Senj(J) or Senj0.
