I took Senni Ti from dynasty warriors, I had a body guard called senni si at some point. From there whenever I had to make a username, it just pops into my head and I've stuck with it since.
Shortened it to Senni more recently, actually found Senni Ti unavailable in some places :O.

Pretty much as Vodner says though, if I can change my name frequently, I do :P. Particularly native (stuck with * recently though) and JA.

Other Crpg char wise, most are really simple: iTurtle, iHA and iShoot (pre-STF, found i---- funny at the time). Exception being Titan_the_Peasant; wanted a name that fitted a pure STR scythe user (back when STF came out). The surprise on peoples faces when I two-hit them  :twisted:.

At the very start I went with the name of "OX" (games like DoD:s, this was like 8 years ago) but I had to change it quickly due to not many games accept so short name and it was often taken. Foreigners usually fail to pronounce my real name properly so that wasn't really and option. Some ppl already called me from time to time "Viltsu" (irl) but English ppl put W rather than V and I personally pronounced the "tsu" more like "tzu" so there you have it Wiltzu.

Used Gurnisson since I fell in love with Stronghold town in Heroes III when the game was relatively new. Use it for other websites and other games as well.

I like using nicks of characters from other games as my main has also been called McCloud and Backlash who's characters from F-Zero and Blast Corps on Nintendo 64 respectively.


Oh, those were the days. :oops:

Song of Ice and Fire, I just thought the character was badass, and my first char ever was a hoplite so appropriate for his spear skillz, eventually going cav because of utter hatred of ranged.

Almost all my game names are rangers17, which comes from a sports team I was on at the time and my jersey number (I was a very creative child as you can tell).

Phantasmal was originally created as a ranged alt. I had a character from Guild Wars named Phantasmal Damsel who was a Mesmer specializing in illusionary spells and indirect damage. When I laid out the list of what defines xbows, I came up with kiting and hiding in the shadows. So I ported my Guild Wars name to cRPG in reference to those defining features. The all black armor I wear is supposed to "blend in with the shadows" as well.

Worst admin ever, horrible person, rude in chat, griefs in game, threatens with kicks and bans if you don't praise him in his admin thread, doesn't worship the goat, and worst of all, uses a crossbow, I suggest instant removal of admin rights and crucifixion.

Name was originally X_Yoko or some stupid shit. Then after playing Skyrim and hearing Jarl Ulfric, my friends came up with Jarl Garlic as some lame joke that wasnt even funny so I changed it to Jarl Garlic after retiring for my first time.

I only made the forum account BASNAK to ask an admin for help and never thought I would stick around (since I hated crpg alot when I started) which is why it's weird and completely unrelated.

If I could choose a new nickname it would probably be something like BESNAX tho.

Any other nickname of my alts was from the top of my head.

Ama means bitch in Japanese.  Most people call me suka(сука) though which means bitch in Russian.  Amatsuka is spelled the same way tenshi is and means angel.  I'm okay with all of them.
