Went with Whizbang since she was my first Missions character, and that was what lead me to these boards. She's a teenage ganger mage with a propensity for flashy spells (okay, so her mentor was a parrot shaman....go figure) :)

My name is Adam. That username was already taken, and quite conspicuously so. I live in Japan. In Japanese it's Adamu. Dropping the capital makes it look a lot less like that other username.

Witness was the Matrix tag of one of my NPCs: a kid who'd witnessed his best friend being abducted (by aliens, he thought at the time) and was pretty messed up by the experience. He's since grown up (alongside the PCs who were originally sent to rescue him) and witnessed all sorts of weird world-shaking stuff.

I was young, Japanese was the "cool" thing, and it seemed appropriate for a Shadowrun board.
Now I'm older, actively studying the language, and while I get a little twinge of embarrassment every time I email someone who speaks the language (especially a native), it's now the name I'm known by on the internetchanging pseudonyms is the internet equivalent of facial reconstructive surgery, plus changing your build and your height. Plus I'm still kinda fond of it, I'll admit. ~J |

I'm still alive ( :eek: ), so I think that's proof that my nickname is fitting. ;)

Character from the Dragonlance chronicles, which got me in to reading, which got me in to gaming, which got me into D&D, which got me in to SR, which got me on to these boards.

I am a big fan of The Shadow. You know, "Who know's what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!" When I first signed up for the boards (5 years ago sheesh!) I was playing A Night Elf infiltrator names... Shadow.

I actually don't have an interesting story behind this particular name. I was just trying to think of a handle one day and it popped into my head randomly, so I went with it. Hell, my favorite color isn't even red. I guess it's representative of my tendency to make names that don't make any sense. :wobble:

I have another one that I'm thinking of using on forums in the future, and it's "Spaghetti Knife." People are picking up on "emo samurai," so I'm using it as a fallback.

Well that's special. I'm GodaimeSama not, actually, because I'm a Naruto fan, but because it translates to The Fifth. People then ask, the fifth what? And I smile and offer them a doughnut. |

Hmm... Well a decade ago, (has it been that long?) I was a young guy enamored with the Japanese way of things. (ie stupid fanboy)
I think I created this name when I was playing AD&D with my friends, but I definatly remember it being the name of my first MMO character ever in the game Asheron's Call. I have kept the name through all the MMO's and P&P games I've ever played. Its usually used on the first character I use in a new group, and most of the time its either a Rogue or a Healer type character. |

The fifth Hokage. He/she's obviously a Naruto fan.
Edit: Reread his/her last post. Sorry. |

Well I started being called Caine whan I was GMing a WoD New Orleans game that ran for 2 years. I learned and tracked so many of the secrets that were involved in that world my players used to tell me only Caine would know that much.
I earned the Bloodname Hazen in Trail of Bloodright that was run at Origins one year. It seemed like a fitting match. And since everyone alreeady was calling themselves "Caine" online, I decided to go with the combo... which has become my intardwebz identity. Yeah, so its more Btech and WoD related.. but at least it wasn't taken on all the email services :grinbig: , although other than web postings, I never really use it in many games |

About 5 years ago, I was sitting beneath a lamp painting warhammer 40K minis until my hand was about to fall off. I looked up to wipe the sweat from my brow and I spotted myself in the mirror, the circular bulb of the jewelers lamp above my weary head made me sigh and mutter "I'm wasting away under a neon halo".
Also it has this whole store bought salvation thing going on that just rocks my socks! |
