I was really into GU when it was just coming out. I wanted to think of a cool Japanese name and Zelkova's Japanese name, Keyaki was the first to come to mind. And now it's been my alias ever since. Not just here but everywhere.

No. Just Tuurahk. A name I came up with while signing up for the PSN. I really couldn't think of anything, so I used a misspelled version of a LEGO character name.
Don't you mean Lego Technic? I'm sure that name's referring to one of the age old Bionicle heroes/ villains. dunno why though... maybe it's the 'Rahk' in 'Tuurahk' :x...

EDIT: Also, I'm curious about the character shown in your avatar :U
Yep, it's from Bionicle. More specifically, form the red Rahkshi, Turahk (very different innit?). I loved bionicle (and still do), but I don't collect them anymore. I stopped around the Piraka series, when the toys stopped having those mechanisms to start having battery-powered light swords... But I do own pretty much everything from the Toa Nuva series to the Toa Hordika

As for my avatar, that's Black Rock Shooter, form the anime OAV with the same name.

@HaseoSkeith- I knew it! It must be from back in the day when I used to have Takanuva, and the brown rahkshi - can't remember it's name tho'...

Also, thanks for the info. I'll give it a look see :U

I used to play a scenario on D&D called Tormenta. In this world, the blue dragon king is called Hydora. When I was signing in for Ragnarok Online (the first MMORPG I ever played), I tried using that name, but it was already taken. Then I just changed the Y for I and it worked. Ever since then I've been using this name on every site I sign in. Also, I've started using it as a sort of middlename since 2008 (cuz I had some family problems and now I refuse to use my real middlename >_>).

Recently, I've found that I share my name with a Getbackers character, and a...ninja cop?

I just picked it b/c it sounds cool...

Although, I've found that Saizou's usually my forum name, and Saiz is the name I use for characters..

If Saizou's taken, I slap XIII on the end of it.

...I need to read Getbackers.

I feel so lame now after reading everyone's meanings behind their name. >w>; Mine are never anything special or deep...

My current username is just the romanization of アルカード (or 'Arukado'), which is the Japanese name for the character Alucard of Castlevania. I've been a huge fan of Castlevania since I first played Symphony of the Night, and the character Alucard has always had a special place in my heart <3
Aru just became a nickname for me by anyone who didn't want to spell out "Arukado"...plus, it's just cuter~
I also go by Arukkie and Aruka if Aru or Arukado is taken. :/

As for other nicknames, I used to go by Dot (from the dot in .hack, lol), as well as its variations, and I've been using Frau-M- in some places recently. The 'M' stands for Mozart, btw. lol~

Post by grave robbing adept rogue »

i just felt like coming up with a name reflecting .hack and something totally unrelated, it was originally supposed to be something like "Drunken midget fighting grave robbing adept rogue" but i didn't want to type it ( or offend anyone on the forums) and that's how this name was born.

Post by Chaosbahamut123 »

The origin of Chaosbahamut:

I was about 13, 14. Going through a hugely dark (not emotionally, just fashion/music/attitude) phase of my life. I like Bahamut. Chaos seemed like a good prefix. Then I grew up and realised it looked a bit stupid. But I could never bring myself to change it. Thus, Chaosbahamut is my default username for anything - except on dA where it's MangaDan, and Wikia where it's SkeithPunisher123 (again, born from a similar phase in my life). I guess it's more nostalgia that keeps me on this name, but I kinda like it. Gives me some recognition if I ever post somewhere I don't usually visit, and someone recognises my username from where I hold a little bit more popularity/notoriety/reknown/[insert synonym for reputation here].

Well I guess Kaori isnt my real first name, I simply had it legally changed because since I'm half japanese I always did like kaori as a first name, its just that with my job and my name put together my friends call me "Doc Naomi" and I somehow dont like the sound of it.

My favorite word is "Advent" meaning "the coming of something". I joined this site sometime when winter was coming, so that's how it stuck.

True, for some reason hearing "Doctor Naomi" doesn't make me feel comfortable with my prostate. It kinda sounds like one of those evil genius names from 50's movies.

Thats one of the reasons plus it kinda reminds me of "doc naomi" from metal gear.
