The first letter of my name is "Z," and I really enjoyed the movie "Avatar."

I'll let you figure out the rest.

Aquaman has to be one of the worst super heroes of all time. He so pointless that you have to like him.

Along time ago in ye old days of online gaming I used to be Lone or Lonewolf. But that kept getting taken as time went on so I swapped a wolf for a phoenix and lone for only. Was the best thing I could think of and I like it.

I used to use a baby naming site to help me come up with names for online games(mostly MMOs).
I came across "Cheveyo" which is supposed to mean "spirit warrior". I liked it and used it.

I used it here because it was the first thing to come to mind when I was picking a user name.

It's a John Lennon song that I like. Not my favorite, but I found it to be a username that I enjoy.

It's an inside kinda thing from around 8 or 9 years ago. I'm just too attached and uncreative to use anything new at this point.

I am a mystery. No really. That was affirmed days ago when my friends said that. Plus i like the word Paradox and m is just a tag to go with it. Feel free to imagine which dignified or perverted or otherwise word 'm' represents.

Because of the "Gargoyles" show, back in the 90's. I created my own character, named Dublin. Kinda geek, I know. As for the Solo, it's linked to the fact that I had tho user accounts on my Xbox: "Dublin" for multiplayer, and "Dublin Solo" for the single player. Eventually, "Dublin Solo" won the battle, and it stuck to me.

As a matter of fact, my friends and my boyfriend call me "Dub".

I've liked the drow ever since I fought them in Curse of the Azure Bonds. My first D&D character was a neutral-aligned drow.

Clive Barker's Jericho wasn't the best game ever made, but if you did play it then you'd know how I came up with mine.

Mine is from the anime Gintama. My brother always said I acted exactly like Gintoki, so I tried getting the name, but it was taken so I went with 'Intoki'

Flipping through The Klingon Dictionary. nuqneH means hello. The "1" makes it sound cooler.

Midas Betancore is one of my favourite characters from the Eisenhorn omnibus. I have this 'default' list of usernames that I refer to if I can't come up with a specific one for a forum, and since I didn't have anything in mind when I first signed up for the Escapist, I picked Betancore.

Eons ago when the world was still full of hope in my eyes I decided to try Runescape at my local library. As I had no computer at home and was highly unversed in the ways of the internet I didn't know I would have to come up with a user name. Being the aspiring goth that I was (I now being a full on semi goth (I'm broke shut up!)) I began thinking of usernames to showcase my unique darkness, among the names there was darkprophet, blackfate, and blackpaladin. After arguing with myself forever I remembered a picture I saw on deviantart where someone had melded Albel and Fayt from Star ocean 3 into this really epic looking psychotic Fayt covered in blood. With that I decided to change the aspect of "blackfate" to blackfayt, which was rejected for having been taken, I then dropped the c (because blacfayt looks stupid) and there became blakfayt. I have used it on every site I've joined anywhere since and amazingly it is never taken.
