It's my pseudonym so that I may bless the world with my literary grace without being stalked in my day to day travels.
It is a bit of an expression of my personality, which is interesting since I discovered its relevance to my character a while after I came up with it. I'm just a very calm, rational individual.
I thought it was a username that reflected my sense of humor and was the wittiest thing I could come up with.
Which is why i don't like people who change their avatars, it confuses me. I've basically kept mine the same, just changing the animations around...initialdelay said:

Well...I guess it's a combination of "self-reflecting expression" and "gaming identity." Gaming, because pretty much all of my usernames involve drow, due to growing up with Curse of the Azure Bonds as my main game, and loving me some +5 weapons and armor (not to mention my second-most common name, Drow Lord, is a powerful enemy from said game)...and the one exception is my City of Heroes character.
Self-expression simply because I use it for continuity, and because I threw in a D&D alignment there...not necessarily an accurate one (NeutralGoodDrow doesn't roll off the tongue as well), but there you go.
Not that I'm still not tempted to change, at least temporarily. Maybe I'll switch from Ciel to Assassin for Halloween...
Tsubame Gaeshi...*****.

Strangely enough, I feel sort of the same way. I think this is the only forum I've been on where my avatar literally hasn't changed since I arrived. I normally go through them to suit my mood.grimsprice said:

Its a label. I don't remember what it originally meant when I thought of it, it was a while ago. I may have been depressed at the time. Now I just don't care and use it because its easy to remember.
Random argument man (RAM) was truly random. However, I try to keep the super hero personna. It's some kind of...mystery.
I really came up with Kontar in one of my early RPG exploits. I cannot remember whether it was during Baldur's Gate so many years ago, or if it was one of my earlier characters during D&D, I just kind of stuck with it.
Edit: Later finding out it was an Egyptian name meaning "only son" (correct if I'm wrong?)

Mine is an expression of who I am. I love me some good rock and roll. It's hard to find a way to express the whole lotta love I feel for my music, I guess I have a metal heart because everytime I hear some music I always go back for more. Sometimes it's a raw ride, sometimes it's just like a crazy train but it's always worth it to know the one way to rock.
I wanna be somebody who goes out in a blaze of glory, but sometimes it feels like I'm just the last in line. A day in the life of a musiscian is like a stairway to heavan and a highway to hell, it's a long and lonely ride down gypsy road. But the thrill of it all makes it so worth it when I turn up the radio and drive down the road to nowhere. It's like a diary of a madman who was born to raise hell like just another pshyco. There's only one thing on my mind, and that is to ride the lightning and get angry again.
Maybe I'm the King of Rock and Roll, maybe it's just a rock and roll fantasy, either way, have a nice day.

Khedive Rex. To me its an expression of who I am. It's my internet name and I imagine it as almost a seperate identity, an expression of who I am on the internet.
I thought of it origionally for a site called Perplex City which was an elaborate puzzle game. It was also my first real forray into the internet. As such, I wanted a name that would be a bit of a puzzle but that would also really characterize myself. I took my favorite middle name, Khedive, and threw a Rex at the end.
The logic behind this is that Khedive means Prince, Governor, or Lord in Arabic and Rex means King in Latin. So the litteral translation of my name would be "The King of Princes," which I took to mean as "A noob with a lot of potential," which conveniently was how I considered myself at the time.
Of course, the name left room to grow. If I felt accomplished I could call myself the King of Governors, which is like "one of the best amoung equals." And if I felt arrogant I could call myself King of Lords or King of Kings, "The absolute cream of the crop."
Anyway though, the name has always stuck with me. I like the meaning and it has a good ring to it. Plus, no-one else uses Khedive Rex. Ever.

I have no idea what to label my name under. It was a cartoon I was working on but the final product didn't look good. The name stuck, though.
My name is based off a really bad mispelling of romulan(off star trek) that I made when I was 8. I still use it now because it's a unique name and most websites don't have that username taken. The funny thing about this name is that no one can pronounce it. It's pronounced exactly how it's spelled. Rom and blen. But no one can say it.
My name for steam is Sins of a Solar (insert some random word). The random word changes weekly. If anything, it's an expression of the occasional random thought I get I every now and then.
