Hmm, I've been thinking "sha-lev" all this time.
And sorry for redoing a done idea Dalton, I remember an avatar one but not names.

RedImperator · Post by **RedImperator** » 2003-01-08 02:49pm

Imperator: from the Latin imperator, literarly meaning "conqueror" or "great general", but commonly applied to the emperor as an unofficial title(officially titled "princeps", meaning "first citizen"). Imperator is the direct ancestor of the English word "emperor".

Red: I just like the color.

Just to clarify, I've been using the name for years, before I knew that an ISD was an Imperator Star Destroyer, not an Imperial Star Destroyer. I don't picture myself as a mile-long, blood-red, dagger shaped warship, though that would be cool.

You win a cookie, a chopstick in the eye, and a free probe. Congratulations.

Doc Horror is a character from Dan Breretons Nocturnals comics...

I liked it, so I started using it...

Luckily Dan said he wouldn't sue me!

Always a bonus...

The first 4 words in my username are abbreviations for some absurdly low rank, and the "Smi" part is of randomness, and no being able to fit all of the letters.

jaeger115 · Post by **jaeger115** » 2003-01-08 06:49pm

The jaeger in jaeger115 comes from an Crayven unit in the 3D RTS Ground Control. it's an special-ops unit, very stealthy, fast, and armed with a heavy Gauss rifle

For the 115, when I first registered on yahoo! the comp would tell me that the name "jaeger" already had been taken and offered a list of choices. I picked "jaeger115" and there it went

Keevan_Colton · Post by **Keevan_Colton** » 2003-01-08 06:53pm

I have three usernames I use on the net....
The one I use here, Keevan Colton is my Star Wars persona who I've played in various roleplays and games. The first part Keevan is a corruption of Kevin (and I was using it long before that twerp in DS9) the second half is more amusing....
Cast your mind back to ANH, threepio says
"Our last master was captain antilles"
The original text though read captain colton instead of antilles....since my character tends to be an excellent pilot I couldnt resist the joke.....

The other usernames I use are Caoimhin Fearghul (the gaelic of my real name) and Waylander after my favourite character and book.....by David Gemmel.

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2003-01-08 06:59pm

Hmm, I've been pronouncing it "zah-lev"...

Anyway, mine comes from a Nintendo64 game I never played called Areofighters Assault. It featured a hidden pilot called Spanky the Dolphin, which was a dolphin that piloted a jet called the 2000 X-1 or something. The issue of Nintendo Power also featured a picture: a dolphin wearing a flight cap.

I liked how it sounded, so I decided to use it as my Internet personna, and I capitalised the "the" so it would sound like a name (and "The" should be capitalised when it's used...).

I've been using it exclusively since late in my sophomore year in HS, early 1999: nearly four years.

Mine came from wanting to have a similar life to that of a very underrated Imperial Officer, Pellaeon. Ah, the chance to be under the command of the greatest Warlord of all time and Kill rebels

I fixed it.

Let's just say that high school feels like it was a very long time ago...

And I must say that I'm very proud of having one of the more unique/unusual and memorable usernames Online.

Mine is obvious. Besides, I like the cheezy depictions of Ming. Gives him character...

That's one of the reasons I stopped using The Chimaera - it was taken at most places. And I couldn't believe it when I found Sweevo was already registered on AIM.

Icehawk · Post by **Icehawk** » 2003-01-09 03:04am

My name, Icehawk, is the callsign of the character Caanon Weathers. He was Grandmaster of the Imperial Knights HERC legions in the PC mech game Starsiege. He lead the great siege against the Mars Rebellion which was being lead by his younger brother.

The game itself is over 3 years old now but it was quite fun and the universe and backstory are really cool. The game actually came with a kickass compendium book that had a detailed history of the storyline, characters, and technology. The games TRIBES and TRIBES 2 are actually based in the same universe but take place about a 1000 years after the events in Starsiege.

Oh yeah Dalton, that name always reminds of the Dalton brothers in the old Lucky Luke books.
