View Full Version : The Origins of our names.

I am not sure if this has been done before, but I think it would be interseting to know how we all came up with our NPF names.

Walkertexasdruid: It is quite curious, because my name is not Walker, I am not a druid (though through my mostly British Isles ancestry, one of my sires may have been one 2500 years ago), and I have never stepped one foot in Texas (the closest I have been is Alabama, where my grandfather lives). Anyway the name came from a D&D campaign, where I was trying to emulate one of my favorite Terry Brooks' characters, Walker Boh, a druid who survived through five Shannara books. My DM started making fun of my character by calling me, "Walker, Texas Druid". The name stuck, and I have been using it for many of my internet endevours ever since.

The Thread Killer: A very dark side of my personality that sometimes takes over and actively starts mindless threads, and who tries to derail good threads with mind-numbing comments. I try to keep him under control, but sometimes he takes over. My apologies for the things he as done, and the things he may do in the future.

Alright, you have glimpsed into my scarred psyche, in regards to my names. Now everyone, let us hear what inpsired the choices of your NPF names. ;)

I think we've had about 5 threads like this. Hell I even have a standard issue response by now.

Basically my online alias pretty much everywhere is "Hawk of Battle", which is what my real name translates as. I always found that to be pretty awesome.

Yeah, that's about it.

I always thought a 'Drgon' was like a sub-dragon species like, Draconian, Dragonite... Dragon Tales.

Nick = Nique. Sooooooo... I don't know. It looks like a good fantasy name so I generally use it in RPGs. It's been my online alias for almost 10 years so I feel somewhat attached to it here which is why I haven't requested a name change. Elsewhere I'll use the tag 'Nameless'. I'll use it in any MMOs I join ('NamelessSeeD', 'NamelessEsper', 'NamelessDragoon', etc.)

Torque is well.... I like cars. And it sounds badass.

Password from early high school. "Blue" after the color that's been my favorite for years, "Star" after the shape because I was using it heavily in my designs at the time, and "Ultor" because it's Latin for "avenger" and the Avengers cartoon series had just come out at that point and I was into Latin for gaming purposes.

I threw it together after someone nabbed my school-assigned password. You guys were treated to it here because I used it for my email to cut out random spam and didn't expect to be sticking around, so didn't come up with something better. Oh, how wrong I was. Now it's my name everywhere and I even respond to it in real life.

'NonCon' could also be the ironic name for conventions of an anti-establishment group! Or would that be 'Anti-Con'?

Last time we had this thread, it derailed into an argument over the proper pronunciation of "mauve." I am secretly very proud of that.

So everyone pretty much knows my username story-- Mauve Mage: Lame homage to 8-bit Theatre. The color was one of three chosen at random, the runner-up candidate being Chartreuse Mage. Never expected the name, or my time here, to last as long as it has. I regret nothing.

I was once 16 year old party kid and got the nickname Big Mac.

Years later I opted to knock off the Big and just go by Mac.

However, Mac is often too short for alot of user-names so I dropped a Daimo infront of it, which is bastardization of Daimyao (sp), which means Demon King. Demon King Mac just screams frightening

It's pronounced "ro-lawn", by the way.

Way back when I joined the forum I was in Jr. High or so and Twisted Metal was new. I liked the game and didn't put much thought into the name beyond thinking it sounded cool, but I've been too lazy to bother coming up with anything else since ever so it is what it is. The plus side is almost no one ever uses it on anything.

McTahr
10-26-2010, 10:21 PM
Two D&D characters shared the name.

Ginkel McTahr was an apeshit nomad specialty psionicist who was literally, without question, always and forever the most insane character ever period. He spent 99% of his time teleporting around madly searching for ancient ruins that maybe probably didn't exist, screaming at his followers that seemed to think he had some mystical knowledge, and killing anyone who so much as happened to even slightly be barring his path from searching for his ruins or just being there in general. This was very obviously only a NPC, and not a PC.

McTahr Len was adapted to RaiRO as my standing main and GM/admin persona, and was basically a mage/sage-type character who spent his apprentice-ship watching untold horrors and death and destruction and brutality happen all around him while he was powerless to do anything to stop it, ultimately resulting in the death of his mentor and every innocent in the region. He of course took this a little harshly and wound up a lore obsessed maniac and mercenary leader. This was also a PC in another campaign, where he spent his time roaming around and citing arbitrary lore for every single thing ever even like this lake that meant absolutely nothing and this road here and this hill and that tree right there and dear god he never shut up and raising an army to retake the territory that had been destroyed.

Well when I was little I Loved Spiderman. My brother had a friend that loved spiderman as well. Later on when my brother started a little club amongst friends and family we chose a screen name of our favorite hero/villian. The other guy got spiderman before me. So I went with my favorite villian of the webhead. Doctor octopus however with my bad spelling thanks to dysgraphia I decided to shorten it to Doc ock however the palce that we where using already had a doc ock. So I went with doc ock rocks which was also taken. So I decided to be uniqe and do doc ock rock. ( I know real clever right ) I however messed up typing it in and doc ock rokc came out. I couldn't change it so I just went with it (also because I could google it and get a link to my profile. SCORE) when I joined here i actualy wanted to do a minor nickname I got from my friend (god of irony) however the same friend used it here and got into some trouble with it. But after that failed I just went with this. Ironically I now use this screen name everywhere both becase it's individual and because I'm lazy... Also because I like being called Doc and the only other "original" name I could come up with is dr.moriarty

One day I registered on Last.fm and decided my old three or four handles were dumb. So I looked for something new. I went to my playlist and looked for some inspiration. Eventually I found a rather bad song called "Insanity & Genius" by a mediocre band.

Sure, let's go for Insane Genius, why not.

But Last.fm usernames can only be 12 characters long. So I removed the space.
Thus, everyone who spells my name with a space must die. Call me IG if you want, That's better anyway, and easier to type.

My nickname is also synonymous with sad clown.

The year was 2006, the class was Honor's English. A good friend of mine had a habit of reacting in an over the top manner whenever we'd mess with him. This was evidenced quite well when a friend of mine popped their feet on his chair in the middle of class. His reaction was... hilarious, to say the least. Someone told him to "stop tweaking out," which led to a South Park joke, which lead to our circle of friends receiving South Park nicknames. Since I was the "token black kid," "token British kid," and "token disabled kid," I became Token. Everyone else lost their nicks within the week, but for some reason, mine stuck. probably because it was actually applicable.

Terex4 is the result of my druidofundeath email getting spammed and wanting a cleaner address. I had decided I needed to change up my name a bit so I asked my 4 year old daughter to come up with something. She spelled out T-e-r-e-x. So I asked her for a number, well the most important number to small children is their age so 4 it was.

DruidoftheDead was a random thought that came to me many many years ago that I thought sounded neat as both a name and character concept so I went with it.

Long ago, when the land was young, and midgets first burst through the Earth's core with their titanium plated cod-pieces, they found a mystical bird full of awesome power that irradiated from it like a fountain of mountain Dew in the pits of Nerdionidia, the Cave of Nerds. Seeing this fountain of energy, the midgets flung their cod-pieces off, and using them like cups drank deeply from the fountains, becoming what we know as today as man.

It was then these men, born from the energy of this bird, thought that by reproducing from this majestic beast that their children could gain power beyond their wildest dreams. They took the beast, ******** it over and over, casting **** and **** with **** all over the **** and ****. Finally, they **** with their **** and **** **** then grabbing a nearby chair, they proceeded to ******* ** ****** and *****.

Their act finished, they left the cave sealing it behind them. Years past, and the former-midgets forgot their horribly and vile act, raising children of the women that have been affected by the energy, breeding a race of humans like us to cover the land. Then one day, centuries in future from when midgets turned into humans, a fair maiden stumbled into the cave, escaping her evil husband who wanted her to do dishes or something.

She cried out, thinking she was cornered when the husband stepped in front of the light, casting his shadow deep into the cave. But when he rose his fist to hit her, a half-man half-bird thing showed up, taking the husband out with a single kick, and saving the maiden from a distressed life. The birdman and the maiden fell in loved, wed-ded, and they mared a single child.

But lo- and behold. The maiden was a direct decendent of the midget people that became men, and the bird-man was the result of their ***** act. The child was ugly and hideous, and the woman cast it into a ditch on a rainy night near an orphanage, breaking with the bird-man that night and going to hawaii with her gym instructor. The bird-man, disgusted with himself and fearing relations with another woman went back to hims mom's cave, were he lived in her basement and played WoW for the rest of his life.

The boy however was picked up by a passing officer, and took him to the closest building, the orphanage, where he passed the boy along. The officer ran away, glad to begone of the cursed thing and fled off into the night. The man running the orphanage looked down at the boy, and sighing deep as he saw the cursed laid upon the baby. He set the baby in a crib, and disheartened that he would have to care for such a thing. He opened a notepad in which he recorded the names of all those that stayed in this building, he came upon an empty line and wrote the two words that would haunt this boy to the end of his days.

As for other names I use online...

Blitz Torpedo was one of the names I came up with while trying to name a Flash Gordon/Ace Rimmer-type character for a heroes game. I filed it away as a bit too extreme and settled on Jeffery "Jet" Jackson (Jet to his friends). Also came up with Thomas Atomic, or Tom Atom.

Tom Jenkins is the fakename I use when filling out various net forms based on an amusing story which was told to me by an escort.

Terisse
10-30-2010, 12:27 PM
Let's see...
Terisse: pretty much something that mutated from some other name that has been long forgotten.
Oral Steering Wheel: based on a fable joke later posted on bash.
TargetT4RG37: I used to miserably suck at online FPSs and was often the most killed.
Packt In A Box: I needed something to annoy people with and because I was listening to Radiohead at the time
Mister-Industry: for a while I was way too into Industrial and Thrash metal, and because there was a pun involved with something cyberpunk.
And then I have my list of general fantasy names for PCs, NPCs and other semi-related gaming issues, like Jonnicker "Hatfire" Schlepper, Alentennimar, Astrianna and Bravil Kestrel, Salka, Hajei, Lucien Yerisfaran, and I could very well go on.

Now were talking about different names or something?

Fine, my first ever internet handle on some German forum I've abandoned long ago was Killer K, because that sounds fucking wicked, man.

Next on was Wicked Sheep, where I also had an Avatar of a white sheep with pink skin and golden horns. I only used that in Instant messaging, though.

Around the same time I was active under the name Ragnarok. I was midly interested in norse mythology. I totally did that before it became cool and all the Metalheads did it. But then they did it, and while the name had the certain foreignness I didn't like my name to be synonymous with the end of the world to everyone, instead of the two people who heard of it.

Then came InsaneGenius, followed by Atomschlag in places where that generic name was already taken. Recently Crazy Clever-man has taken up that job. It's a name Invisible Queen gave for the shiggles. I like it because it sounds like I'm some bizarre Mega Man boss.

Oh, and in some places I'm also called Heretical God, inspired by an... ahem... "story" I once wrote, or rather, co-wrote. It was about two guys, Jehova and Lucifer, or short, Hevi and Luci. Basically Hevi passed some gase of epic proportions and Luci lit it up with a match he found lying around in the empty void they were in. This created the first star. They made many more. The planets and other stuff were poo nuggets. I'm not making this up. Or rather, I did. Just don't judge me for that, okay? In the actual course of the story the two were followed by some overzealous believers for saying something, but I forgot what it was. The team of dudes that hunted them were Sackfried, a noble Knight of the Bratwurst, Bruder Plankton, a pedophile priest, Kaputos, a senile medieval scholar and Squondonny, the regular working class dude and only sane man. While on the run Hevi and Luci team up with Bornista, some chick that can lift Pianos with ease. In fact I think they owed Bornista booze and she wouldn't let them go, or something. But then it turns out the castle Sackfried won in the lottery got taken over by his evil ex right hand man and Jester, Todesdepp. So the Heretic Busters and the Heretical God(s?) make a deal. If the HGs help the HBs to take back the castle they'd be free to go wherever they want. Meanwhile, Todesdepp had hired left and right hand men for himself. But he's ambidextrous, so no one cared who was who. The first guy was the flamboyant gay guy, Frongk. The other was a rapping scientist called Professor Flashhomie. In addition he hired a band of mercenaries called the invincible army of death. So the team of Heretical Gods and Heretic Busters infiltrate the castle. An epic battle ensues. Of course Sackfried is too dumb to find the way through his own fucking castle, so they have to split up into three teams. Hevi, Luci and Bornista. Plankton and Sackfried. The last team consits of Kaputos and Squondonny. During the course of the battle Frongk decides to team up with the protagonists after Squondonny assures him that there's nothing wrong with his sexuality while Kaputos, who's hard of hearing, just nods and smiles. Frongk returns in part two as a mailman. Flashhomie gets bested by Sackfrieds superior logic skills, while Plankton single handely takes on ten or so of the mercenaries. The entire rest of the invincible army of death get beaten up by Bornista while Hevi and Luci watch. Only Luci disappears. Because Todesdepp summons him. That happened to be his plan all along. After a short chat Luci allows Todesdepp to flee, because he thinks he's actually a nice guy. In the end the Heretic Busters decide to execute Hevi and Luci regardless of what they've done to help. However, they are saved by Bornista in a time traveling robot suit from a future where Hevi and Luci got pushed off that cliff (yeah, they didn't die of course, if they can survive the birth of a star they can survive a little fall, but Bornista doesn't know that) That robot suit got built by some minor characters that were modeled after the three writers of the story.

Why, yes. I wrote most of it. How could you tell? Anyway, that's the story of a handle I rarely ever use.

@ IsaneGenious: Another very interesting story.

I'll have to share the story of my very twisted TasselhoffBurrfoot sometime.
