 #149861  by deathscyth
 
so i remember something similar topic i think but im curious now from where people got there names and previous names. let me start by saying my name deathscyth or deathscythe for proper spelling. but my name comes from a old anime show imo one of the greatest to ever be released in america. it was a show of robots controlled by humans of course.
Gundam wing was originally released April 7th 1979 and died on January 26th 1980 yes very short lived but it was later re released as the anime series in march 14 1981 - mach 13 1982 the gudman named deathscythe was always my favorite seeing the reruns with my sister. not sure why i took a liking to him i guess because it was always the best looking and it has a a armaments known as the twin beam scythe aka beam scissors. anyways as many of you call me ds or death that is where i get my name from is that show and that specific gundam if you wish to see what it looks like here is a link.

I chose mine as an acknowledgement that I know nothing and am on a quest to learn more about everything
 #149866  by Mandalorian
 
I found the Mandalorian culture interesting. People assume that Mandalorians are blood thirsty warriors, and that is not entirely true.

Mandalorians love the thrill of a battle. They somewhat believe in the same ideas of the sith in that "the strongest must rule".

Mandalorians are only known for being warriors because they enjoy battles and war, however they share a code of honour and respect, unlike Iridonians...now they have no honour or respect at all. They even kill their own for the sake of killing. Mandalorians only kill when in battle against the enemy or its a non sentient being not worth of anything other than the challenge of survival.

Mandalorians are so much more. Their technology, ideals, even artwork is as expressive and advanced as even the Republic's could.

Zabuza because he's one of the seven swordsmen and I think I'm *ok* with a saber. And I like Naruto.
 #149870  by Cult
 
Cult because the occult. Jk. Cultists model seemed cool when I was younger.
 #149872  by Mnsomc
 
I chose mine because "Mnsomc" means "the cool bro" in Japanese - j/k.

From: http://www.knights-reborn.org/forum/vie ... 2&p=139595
Mnsomc wrote: I often make online ID's and nicknames by combining random thoughts I'm having at the moment - and I can't remember what I was thinking when I wrote Mnsomc, so sadly I cannot tell you what the name means or even how it is pronounced (in my head, mn is either silent or sounds like "mn"emonic, while somc sounds like some-k with k as in sun"k").
 #149875  by Pantheon
 
I went by name Tyraellz because Tyrael from Diablo2. Hes archangel of justice and sacrificed a lot to protect others. In diablo3 he gave up his divinity to help fight humans (coz rules) (also when i took tht name diablo3 wasnt even announced)
Next was Baleful Ira = Threatening+Wrath. I chose tht name coz i was deep in depression and my personality.
Last is Pantheon coz an ascended being. Which by religion proclaimed as the shield of war. Pantheon can be anything as its similar to being champion. Like i am guardians Pantheon.
 #149876  by Jammer
 
Well Ive used the nickname Jammer since I was like 5 or 6 and first started playing games over the internet (with dial-up back in the day!). It comes from my initials Joseph Andrew Murray and then adding the mer part at the end seemed really cool to the kid in me. I guess I'm a creature of habit since I'm still using it 15 years later. Not really the coolest origin to my name, but thats how it is. 8)
 #149877  by MasterM
 
My name is Matt and I'm the Master, so naturally I am MasterM. Also I used Dr. M, and M the Own (lol) for a few days each
 #149878  by Buffy's Shadow
 
My original name of 'The Emperor's Hand' was chosen because Mara Jade was/is one of my favorite original EU characters. My present one is a combination of my favorite show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as well as Shadow being part of a suggestion that was given to me when I figuring out a new name.
 #149879  by Zaluk
 
I got my name while trying to think of a name for a Zabrak SWTOR character. Stuck with it ever since.
 #149883  by Uscari
 
I initially derived my name from a character I was creating for a star wars fan fiction that to this day I have never completed or posted. It is entirely made up, and has no root inspiration.

I use it in game because it's lack of a comprehensive cultural origin makes it an indicator of my attitude towards being open and receptive to differing dimensions of thought and ideas.

I'm not entirely sure where I decided to become Falcon. I know that Quake III Arena was my first online game. I used my real name there for a while, and then I think switched over to Falcon at some point. Back when AIM was all the rage my screenname was Falcon4ch so I'd assume I had it before that. Also my first ever email address was a hotmail address with Falcon in it....I can't really remember. Keep in mind this is all 15~ years ago.

Here in KR I used my real name (censored for Frog :P) when I first came into the family. I told Rav my email address one night and I vividly remember her going

"falcon huh...? you should change your name to that"

And I did :)

As as you may recall Buffy, one of Mara Jade's ships in EU was called Jade Shadow. I think she went through a couple ships. Another was called Jade Saber. Just FYI. :)

Ok I got Lurch from grade school about 3rd grade. I was always the tallest kid in my classes. Several nicknames were given to me such as Powerhouse, Daddy Long Legs, Jolly Green Giant, etc. But Lurch is what stuck. In later years when I worked for a company that required us to have uniforms, I asked the uniform man if it was ok to change the name on my shirts. He said sure as long as its nothing nasty or offensive. I said ok its Lurch. He laughed and said sure we can do that, But why change from Dave (my real name)? I said because there are 3 David's here already and when someone shouts "Hey Dave come here a minute or I need you, we all said HUH? at the same time. lol

So Lurch stayed and has to this day. Some people call me Slim which was my father's nickname. His Real name was Jim or James but Slim stuck for him.

And yes I still say to some people when they say "Hey Lurch", I reply by saying "YOU RANG?" Does it bother me? not in the least or I'd never have kept it this long. Its just a nickname. And btw my real initials spell DAM. So I know what JAMmer is talking about. :)

When I saw this thread, When I saw Frog's comment:

-[KR]-Frog: "I chose mine as an acknowledgement that I know nothing and am on a quest
to learn more about everything"


I was like: That's so real! :p

OK, so I shall start typing....

*****************************************************************

The origin of Syzyx's name. And in addition, the origin of all my names revealed at this time.

Wow... now that's like opening a can of Regulan blood worms! Or breeding Tribbles.

OK... Why not? If Frog can do it! So can I! But with a catch! :-P

So if, indeed you choose to bear with this trainwreck poet,

And decide of your own free will to read on...

Let it be known: It is entirely at your own choosing...

And! Be warned:

If you don't stop reading now, you agree:

"To be my slave forever, do whatever I say, and leave me all your stuff when you die!"

[Thank's Bender!]


************************************************************************************

Ok Slaves...

Before I do this thing... of explaining how I got/chose my name(s),
I need to qualify myself! By describing who I am, and how a random earth mortal might
be able to recieve/choose a name like SYZYX.

How? By telling of my real life experiences.

Plus! I have a very active Imagination! :-P

Whereby in the telling I shall introduce some of my real life Masters! And tell of Bona fide,
actual, real life experiences! YAY! :-P

(Warning: Some Latin and or Sanskrit words may be used.)

***************************************************************************************

This is really two or 3 seperate stories, but since none have properly been written yet,
I might as well include some short (by my long winded standards) versions of each.

For clarification, education, elucidation, of what this -[KR]- thread begs us all to disclose.

Our names... XD

***************************************************************************************

Name = What sound or noise do you want people to make/exclaim/type when they see/want you?
Name = a way to mark your lineage or heritage.
Name = a way to force people to say something or even acknowlegde/deny something.
Name = a way to affirm... or deceive. (I.E.: Padawan)
Name = powerful magic (said the Master Namer, and the Master Summoner).
Name = I am that I am


***************************************************************************************

Who Am I?

I know now who I am. I didn't always...

It's something that was gradual, but when it hits you it's like a ton of bricks.


You want to put names on that? U will fail. I struggle, but you will be defied.

labels? meh. pwnt.

Who I am,
Or: How I got to be who I am now.
Or: How did I discover and champion my INNER life to find out the truth of who I am?
Or: yes! I dare to suppose: How I found GOD! (Not the God of religion Per Se and FYI)

This Inner Life is now the primary and essential reason for me to be here. (anywhere)

Of this I am certain: I will be known by many names.
But I would prefer whatever God or the universe thinks best...
I'm not attached. I'm just a soul on an adventure. Hence my everyday use name:
Adventure. I could have chosen FROG! but I didn't think people would be
generally clever enough to get that.


**************************************************************************************
Story:

In my 20's and 30's (the 80's and 90's) I studied metaphysical subjects, ESP and Clairavoyance,
occult things.. UFOs, before shows like Ancient Aliens, et cetera. I stumbled upon "The Pliedians"
and "The Ascended Master Saint Germain, (and several other ascendant beings).
Over a period of 2 years, I enrolled in a "psychic school'.
It was called: CCI - Creative Catalyst Institute.
Located in the Oakland California Hills, CCI is where I learned about the Human Aura,
the Chakra System, earthhuman energy manifestations, planetary consciousness, and some
of the secrets to the mastery of the Healing Arts!

I continue my studies and practice to this day... I just use my skills, my psychic skills I learnred from the ascended masters (kinda like jedi w/o the telekinesis) and by practice I mean being an effective person,
to bring peace, enlightenment, and healing to this troubled world,
and more specifically: a bunch of the people on it. (maybe even you!)

Sometimes this might seem like magic to those who have not yet crossed some particular threshold of under/overstanding.

Anywho...Through these experiences, I was able to sensitize myself to the
Divinely True, Good, and Beautiful. (things of higher form than the physical eyes can not see)
Something that comes with a cosmic awakenig is the ability to SEE beyond this small earthsphere and be a part of the greater cosmos! You have but to look 'within' to access in daily life the akasha - The "knowledge of the cosmos" is accesible to any normal minded earth person who wishes to undergo the mental and spiritual initiations, and can sincerely follow through. (This seems, at this time to me sadly few, but that's another rant)

**************************************************************************************

Another story: My introduction to JA

It was the spring of 2006.

I was driving my beat up car out of Paia, Maui.
I picked up this guy hitch hiking, his name was Matthew Stewart. We talked for a minute and then of course one or the other of us mentioned gaming... Matt knew a whole lot about computers. (I was running my own hardware based tech support business on Maui @ that time, and also ECYCLING, so I had access to massive amounts of computers, and all sorts of free stuff! Like big screen TVs and all kinds of cool and practically brand new and
fully functional computers).

I brought him to my house... turns out he had worked as telephone tech support for Microsoft Windows,
& AOL, amongst others, back in the day on the mainland (in Ohio).

He was looking for housing, and my landlord let him move into a nearby unit.

From amongst the piles opf salvaged equipment we set up a fast LAN network
and fooled around with Emule and torrents to get some pay games for free
that were worth anything.

After a few days of this, Matt's says:

"You like Starwars?"...

Me: "Yeah! Totally!"

Matt: "There's this cool lightsaber game called Jedi Outcast!"...

We DL JO and start to LAN play but dont rly go online too much
because we get PWNT by pros! lol XP

But, nevertheless, we start improving and figuring out the gameplay.

Then like after a month of that We find out there's a sequel: JA.

So we DL that and go try to have fun, but its hard cuz we nubs,
and don't even know what laming is. >.<

But we did manage to install JA+, which back then was brand new!

So I moved out and to a diff place.. Matt («JSU»Island Wookie) stayed,
but we met often on whatever public servers we could manage not to get kicked from.
But I really kept playng all the time and Matt kinda stopped being a regular.
And then I got into JSU, started ranking up and having loads of fun as an admin
in a very populated server.... :-P
and then eventually I encouraged Matt to Join JSU too.


********************************************************************************************


This is another story, Of why I, Michael M. Hill changed my name in July 1992 to ADVENTURE.

Now, You may rightfully say: "What kind of hippy dippy s**t is that?"

Well I can try to explain it.....

But it seems almost unnecessary, when put so brilliantly and succinctly by Misuour -[KR]-Frog:

-[KR]-Frog: "I chose mine as an acknowledgement that I know nothing and am on a quest
to learn more about everything"


Once again I want to warn you: If you read any farther, you agree:

"To be my slave forever, do whatever I say, and leave me all your stuff to me when you die!"

[Thank's Bender!]

OK, now that that's out of the way again, I can tell you some things to help you see my point
about the name thing... Said Mike, Michael, Adventure, Ventch, Jak(skateboard team), Syzyx...

When I was born in 1963, Michael was the #1 most common name for boys in america.

This did not excite me.

I was an adopted child. The people who adopted me, whom I still consider my parents,
(since they did 99.8 percent of the parenting, [may they RiP!]) gave me my first, middle and last names.
I used these names (actually Mike was the norm) as I grew, but as an adult reaching his Saturn return,
I felt a yearning to know my true name. I first started feeling this in the bay area, but concurrently
with this phenomenom of saturn return, I reconnected with my birth mother Nancy.
So I found other names to trip out on... Nancy's married name to her husband was Howe,
Which means Hill, my adopted last name... wierd huh? But her maiden name was Klaber. (Dutch)
Nancy told me about my genetic father... his name is Robert Holman...

ooo wow i said! more names... roots?... well it got less important the more names there were.

There are other name/descriptions... Perpetrator, Instigator, Agitator. and the ever popular Hey You!

I had a Nickname in highschool: The freshman... Because the seniors liked me and let me hang out with them! :-)

I had a nickname as a street/skate punk when I lived in an abandoned brewery's beer vat in San Francisco in the 80's.. "VAT RAT"

I was In the Trinity Alps at a regional rainbow gathering, it was early in the morning, I was practically skipping down the trail to the kitchen camp to make some oatmeal when all of a sudden, I hear a loud reverby voice say: ADVENTURE. At that moment I thought: that is my real name! So I took it and ran. at a rainbow gathering, almost everyone you meet will wholeheartedly embrace you changing yor name to anything you want. just FYI.


*********************************************************************************************************



So I was sitting with Matt on the first week of our mutual JA initiation, and we're deciding our skins/characters for the first time, and names... I pick the noghri and he says "what name?" and I just blurt out SYZYX, no hesitation, with some degree of exitement. I think I almost stood up or something. It was an exclamation!

Prior to that for a small time in JO i was MrJustaGuy, and Noobius. But Syzyx was and has been my name for 10+ years.

Syzyx is a name that honors the memory I have attained of a previous lifetime in a distant galaxy not in any way related to Starwars, and minimaly connected to Earth's evolution, but Intimately connected with my own. When I said the word Syzyx! a doorway seemed to open for my memories of a time spent on some world far away but definetly in our universe in the distant past and def not in any way connected with the star wars universe or it's games directly. It's just that at that moment, the noghri character REMINDED me of this other (to muggles of earth) very alien reptilian, and that I was once a member of this species, and can remember some small but significant parts of my life there as it relates to my current life's lessons.

It seems that far memories can only be remembered by actually learning in this life that which challenged and defeated you in those lives prior.

Also: I have a very active Imagination!

Ppl say: oh George Bush is a reptilian, or so and so's a reptoid. Does that mean that ALL ETs are evil? No! it does not.
I can tell you that just because someone's an ET or some kind of reptilian, does not make them evil. Would you judge all Humans on the acts of a few? if that is the case then .... hahahahaha... You're all Donald Trump! Or maybe we should call you all Dr. Martin Luther King? Or Ghandi? or Hitler? Or even Darth Sidious!

but realistically, according to recent news.. The ET's judge earth humans as a group, grossly unfit to manage your own planetary affiars. just sayin'

:-P

P.S. I always just called me ME!

"I didn't do it! Nobody saw me! You can't prove anything!" - Bart Simpson

I'm also gonna need an itemized list of all your stuff, so I know what to expect when you die and leave all it to me. Also slave should be fresh and clean, so take a shower and prepare for a day of hard but rewarding slavery! You will not be dissapointed!

Also: if you comment, You owe me a million dollars.
