Um. Well, my nickname was Captain Rob through grades 8-10. When I finally (FINALLY) got a 360 and Live, it was taken. One of the suggestions was HalfCaptainRob. And I dunno. It stuck.

Well, this username I have on this site is a combination of two identities I've acquired. One (Aby) from Guild Wars, and the other (Z) from Xbox Live. My other, new one is either aZn or Death (maybe both).

I see usernames as just another way to identify someone. In the end, a username (or perhaps the shortening and... nicknaming of the nickname) can end up truly becoming part of you. It's funny, as 'Z' is my middle initial, so it works out quite well.

It started out as my gaming identity in Diablo.
Skeleon (Skeleton + Leon >>> Skeleon), the mighty axe-wielding demon-slaying Warrior who also invested in Blood Star because of how cool that spell is.
I kept it.

Meh. Usernames are simply required by almost all forms of media. Want to talk in a forum? Username! Want to play an online video game? Username! Want to contribute video/audio to the internet? Username! All I do is pick something that means something to me, if only mildly, and go with it. They aren't important. If everything I used usernames for had only ever given me a random number instead of a name option, I'd be no worse for it.

It gives me some mystery, right? Nobody has no idea what it means, 'cause it's finnish. I've used it for quite a few years now. It's always funny listening some game-reviewers trying to say my name... "I got interviewed by Vk... Mi, ma, mu... Vksomething."

I have absolutely no idea how I got Sketchy, but it stuck for some reason. It has no meaning to me, but I generally use Sketchkov now, which I got when I played SWAT 4's expansion, the Stetchkov Syndicate.

It started out as just a name, but now its become an identity. I use it (or a variation of it, but always containing at least Piff) on all the forums and videogames as my username/screenname. Basically if you see the name Pifflestick its a safe bet to say thats me unless the name starts with "IHate".

In fact, my name is unintentionally descriptive of the way my posts work a lot of the time. Piffle is defined as "nonsense" and to the random outsider who hasn't gotten to know me my posts will at best seem rambling and at worst be an unintelligable clusterfuck; Especially when I'm writing on a topic about politics.

It has become my persona. It is misleading, but an excellent identity, I feel, for the future ruler of the world.

A tag or persona in which people will use to identify themselves in online and other scenarios.

Mine is just my name as I never found a point to having some odd and ludicrous username that just makes me sound like a thirteen year old. Keep it simple.

This is my username everywhere. Makes sense for it to be it here too. I just remember at first I wanted to be penguin, that was taken. Then I tried megapenguinx, taken. So I finally settled on megapenguinx.
