Why did you want to name yourself furball to begin with?

[Jenkar]

I imagined this name long before i even knew about elements. One of my two most used internet pseudos, the other being Aylas.
(I also go by Dudley and Newtkiller in some places)

[Wizy]

Boring Geek Story:
Years ago in online rpgs I have always named my magicaly oriented characters "wisewizard" and people called me wis/wiz. Friends and members of my clan started to call me wizy for some reason. Then again in another rpg the members of my guild would call me wizy, and everyone in the server knew me as wizy, I was very famous being the highest lvl and leader of the top guild ;P
Now I use Wizy everywhere, w/e I have no imagination for names.

[DoubleCapitals]

Came from my ign, and when i created my acc i wasnt expecting to go full time. Also because qwert seems to be taken when i chose my ign. generic names FTW!

[EmeraldTiger]

Birthstone and I was born in a Year of the Tiger

[Guizonde]

corruption of the spelling of the chain lightning spell in phantasy star online for me (gizonde, that i always pronounced with a hard G). reflected my usual attack style at the time, namely "kick the stuffing out of everything as fast as possible, chaining combos".

then i adopted it everywhere, it's kind of my internet handle/ ID.

that, and i have a tendency to favor lightning-based spells when playing RPGs if i play mage.

[AP579]

AP5 was my ID. It's an abbreviation stemming from somewhere else. I really like the number 579 though, so I tacked it on.

[mega plini]

Mega Plini comes from Pliny the Elder who returned from the dead as a super hero. (short version)

[Naesala]

Naesala is probably my favorite character from my favorite game series, Fire Emblem. His character is one of the most interesting, and he looks awesome and sexy, thus my name on every website since I was 14 playing Runescape. I've grown very attatched to the name, especially due to some roleplaying.

[Captain Scibra]

Originally I was called Exar Kun, a Jedi that existed in the time of the Old Republic era of the Star Wars universe.  Eventually, I came across Soul Caliber II, first the GC version, then the Xbox version.  Featured in the Xbox edition was Spawn, and in one of his lines, he quotes "Malebolgia, just you wait" as he was sent to get the blade on account of being servant to Malebolgia.  I then had it as my name since.  Sometimes I tack on a 13 (favorite number) or 1113 (m/d of my b-day) if the name alone is taken.  I also eventually read into the name and that it is a name of fiction in the Spawn comics; ruler of the 8th Circle of Hell, the Malebolge, or "Evil Ditches", in which deceit was the punishment, divided into the 10 different types (politicians, etc.).  I also wanted to be Captain Otyugh (Captain sounds like a catchy title, and Otyugh is my favorite card) in the forum change, but felt like I was leaving my real name behind, so I stayed true to Malebolgia.
