Nickname Backstories.

[Bobthehero]

Bob the hero, a fucking hero saving people by killing people so they cant get into trouble.

All in all a great fucking hero.

[Kalam]

Fictional characters, picked partially to see if fellow fans would recognize them.

Kalam and...
Midnighter.

There's a reference in every name picked, and there are a few more that I keep private- the game there is that those who know me will no doubt recognize the references.

[Wrenaq_Lars]

When I was around 15 myself and this cute redhead at school wrote a fantasy novel and the name Wrenaq Lars was the main character he was a right Nutjob

[Sayton]

I got mine from Seyton in Macbeth.

[Peasant_Woman]

Peasant_Woman was born when I couldn't decide on a name for the official taleworlds forums and while setting an avatar came across an image of one of the wandering npcs you can see in villages in mount and blade, the name of this npc was 'Peasant Woman'.
Ninja_Ninja was created just under a year ago when the ninja clan was formed. Originaly made to poke fun at the ninjas being twice the ninja it is also the name of a character from an anime I watched a couple of years ago; Ninja Ninja

[Dach]

First 2 letter from my first name + First 2 letter from my last name.

I'm lazy... 

[Rannepear]

I played CS in 5th grade and I used "looney" to mean crazy and XL to tell everyone I had a big dick.

Edit:
Oh, I just realized I dont even use that name for this game... Well I have no idea where Rannepear came from..Some RPG sounding name that I randomly created.

[ManOfWar]

Anyone know the RTS Men Of War?

[dynamike]

I found coming up with a nick that I could keep over the years and would not get sick off pretty difficult. Different games and forums may require different flavors of names and taste changes as you get older.

So I tried to keep it simple and use a combination of my name (Mike - duh!), my play style (dynamic) and made it sound like something explosive (dynamite), which is always a good thing. 

Thus, dynamike was born. 

[Tor!]

My real name is Tor and I have little imagination.. so it ended up being Tor 

[MrShovelFace]

First off my name is an indicator of the geography of my face (before the facial nerf)

Somewhat normal looking from the front but completely flat when viewed from the side
I have absolutely no nose. My chin is the farthest extending part of my head.


I used another name before this one back when there was only euro crpg server
I got fed up with the state of mind of that time being 'we yell at you for extending the round 20 seconds' and
the classic 'omfg noob its a crossbow man' back when there were only 5 or so xbowmen in the database cuz they were underpowered compared to bows of the age.

So i created my name and face to be a counter weight to the no nonsense enviroment of the only server at that time when the only person that wasnt an anal kill obsessed player was gnjus and perhaps chadz although he never said anything in server.

[Kung Fu Jesus]

I've used my name for about ten years for all my gaming. I think Counterstrike was the first time I used it. The first time I heard it was as the name of some band. It made me literally laugh out loud and stuck in my mind. If you see Kung Fu Jesus in Call of Duty or Modern Warfare or something like that, it might be me as I've never seen another one.

[Tennenoth]

Tennenoth - Random name generator from Neverwinter Nights.  Was later shortened to "Tenne" due to everyone on ts especially Mr_Bubbles.

I was going to steal Dritz Du'Urden from Balders Gate but it felt... well stolen.

[EyeBeat]

Name I had on AOL back when I was like 15.  I am 29 now.  So old.

[DrKronic]

I used to be involved in the horticulture of certain plants in my minor years, and they said I was so good at it I was "DrKronic", friends also called me "Old Red Eyes", kind of a Sinatra reference(I'm born on 4/20, so these things seem fitting)

Later "Nox" told me to use "Darth_Kronic", and I did, so strangely my nicknames were bestowed upon me......forever ago (On Sierra Network) I actually went by Envy(and used that in some games)..................(which is strange because Nox's wife, who we hadn't met at that time, also uses that nickname nowadays)
