Reikaniichan M11202

I wanted to name one of my Maple characters Reika (it's the name of a character for a story I never wrote fffff), but I knew that it would be too short or maybe already used so I added -niichan (impulsively).



She's my highest level Maple Character (level 64)

Betaman

...well, omegaman was already taken....

KBTKaiser

Medabots/Medarot GBA game Medarot Navi's KBT power-up form is Kaiserbeetle, thus KBTKaiser.  My avatar is the starter unit Granbeetle.

Jinpachiro

Taken from one of my favorite jrpgs.

I use the name he has from the sequel

ThePrinceOfMoose

My username has a rather long story behind it.  When I had leukemia back in the day I was stricken with depression and it was hard for me to cope for a while.  One day just playing Co-op Halo on the original Xbox with a friend of mine, we came up with a joke religion called "The Religion of Moose" and he was The High Prophet of Moose and I was The Prince Of Moose.  It cheered me up quite a bit and ever since then the nickname just kind of stuck with me and it just became apart of who I am.

Raiiban

I used to use a super edgy handle in my teens called Raven Omega, Rayban just kinda became a corruption of it over the years after joking with my friends. I swapped into it because I hated my old handle and everyone was already calling me by it. I just respelled to the current weird form to lessen the chances of running into duplicates.

Shiroyami

[?] - mostly used as 'white' but it can also mean 'clear' and 'pure' . In my username, it's read as 'shiro'.

[?] - commonly used as 'dark' and darkness in general. It's read as 'yami'



The 'Shiro' part comes from my surname and I added 'Yami' as in a corruption of common japanese names such as Aoyama, in which 'Ao' means blue and 'Yama' means mountain.



As far as theming goes, I've always loved the "Light is not good", "Dark is not evil" and opposites/dualities themes in general. While there's one 'official' way of reading my username, so to speak, it can be interpreted in a number of different ways, including lots of seemingly contradictory ones.

Swan Dive

I like Swans and also think the Swan Dive pose is beautiful.  It seems to give and represent a feeling of complete freedom without any worry of consequence.  The name was still really unplanned though!

DunnoBro


Mussacka

For me, this is the Greek word for "food" or "meals"

Jagos

I always loved Killer Instinct...

I just decided to add an S because why not?

Matt

A short international version of my name. Easy to remember and pronounce.

Lienn

Lienn is a random name i "created" for a original character i used in a tale long ago. Only after some time i found out it was a chinese name and the surname of a dutch actress.



While i like it, it's awesome how 90% of the ppl i interact can't write it right...also, i've heard to english speakiners it sounds like "Lain", instead than the corrent sound that would be closer to "Lee.an", leaving lain with reversed vowel sound than the correct.

Byas

I'm not creative when it comes to usernames, so most of the time it was something generic. One time I used Byakuran on a lot of places, it became my "main" username (it was always taken so I used some variations such as Byakuran1195 / Byakuran. / -Byakuran / etc), but a friend that I played MMOs with always called me Byas.

Since I became found of the name and it was harder to be already taken when I registered for something, I adopted it as my username.

TechnoWolf

I like technologies



I like wolves



and I'm following Jon Rettinger's TechnoBuffalo's videos. So I decided I would call myself TechnoWolf.
