If you have a number that means nothing in your username it says about you that you have no creativity whatsoever.

Well I like turtles and all other slow animals. My motto in life is pretty much relax and let the problems work themselves out.

Keepeas - the first online name I made from myself as a child, likely the combination of 'keep' and 'peas'
If the username Keepeas pops up, you can bet it's me.

Betancore is the name of one of my favourite characters in the 40k universe. I doubt anyone really remembers him, but I thought he was pretty badass. I don't know what it says about me; I just liked it as a name, and I liked the character. It also seemed less obvious than 'Eisenhorn.' Heh.

It's what I just always use for usernames now, or at least similar. I was looking at a friends Ork army and it just popped into my head.

I disagree. I could have just made my name 'Redlin'. The 5 was a perfectly voluntary decision and without it, the name wouldn't be the same for me. 5 means 5. The number itself does have some importance with me but nothing particularly striking. It's just a number that I like.

And if you're going to accuse me of having no creativity whatsoever, you don't know me.

When I was around 10 years old, while playing FF9 for the first time, my friend asked me what Inertia was so I sang him a song:
"Oh Inertia, some people call you Joe. Oh Inertia, you are a violent hoe!"
A little while later I needed a Starcraft user name. I recalled the incident, and being 10, I didn't know how to spell Inertia so I guess. And the name just stuck, I use it for everything because its never taken.
LOL
if you see any enershas walking around the interwebs and it isnt me ill eat my hat

As with my passwords, my usernames tend to be rather random. I like them that way.

I strongly oppose numbers in user names. Numbers tend to be either too personal or they make any person, sane or not, look like an inmate of sorts.

Sometimes I think I am overdoing the random bit of making up a name. Especially when the captcha comes up in languages I cannot even read.

Wilco comes from Roger Wilco, the protagonist of the Space Quest series. I was born in '86 and that's also the release year of Space Quest: The Sarien Encounter - probably the first or second game I played as a kid with my humble 386.

Good times...

I picked mine 'cause it is the name of a character in Berserk and the name of a barbarian king.

Also I have no idea what it says about me.

I originally meant mine as a sort of imitation to the bosses from Zelda: Twilight Princess: Each boss has the title "Twilit (enter species here) (enter name here)", so I turned it into Twilit Wolf Amaterasu. It also has a bit of irony because Amaterasu is the Japanese god of the sun - the main protagonist of one of my other favourite video games, Okami.

In short, my username doesn't mean I'm obsessed with Twilight, wolves, or anime. :)

Aperio Contra, Latin meaning: "Counter Opening."

From this we can extrapolate that I'm either a very pretentious arguer or that I'm a cupboard door.

I read and write fanfiction and warper is both my pen name for my writing (though it's been a while), and is I feel the essence of fanfiction writing (warping, but warper sounded better for a name).
