Given my fondness for playing rapscallion gentlemen adventurers of the 18th century, I tried to come up with something suggestive of a villain from an Orczy novel. The Comte de Malachine really does sound like the kind of smirking periwigged bastard you'd find crossing swords with the Scarlet Pimpernel, so yep - that was the one for me.

Phoenixrisen

The story of mine isn't the most fun. Things weren't good growing up or most of my adult life for that matter. The symbolism of the phoenix was a pretty good illustration actually. Life kept trying to burn me to the ground over and over and over again, but I kept getting back up. Kept coming back brighter and more loving, I have looked death in the face no less than three times, but still my light shines, my spirit burns, and I never give up. Just seemed to fit.

Twisted Crow

Dallas is my first name. *shrug*

I am nobody special.

Malkavian

Because the voices bade me do it.


KittenLullaby

 :D Kitties are awesome and cute and love, and my name has to do with sirens so I mashed it together! 

Delrowe

My username is one I've been using for awhile now. It comes from a video game that I am still fond of today called inFAMOUS: Second Son. The main character's name is Delsin Rowe. I like it because it's short, simple, and sounds cool in my own head!

The Mayfields

Well, I tend to only play DILFs, so I figured it’d be a cool name to have.

Talk to one of the Oracles if you feel like making a change.  I believe you are still permitted one but the Oracles will have more information. :-)

My name was so bad when I started. I had never been on a site like this and had no idea what I was doing Giggles So happy they allow you one change, I am so happy with my name now. Have posted before but it is from Dragonlance. Which is one of my first real loves in fantasy. Read them when I was like 11 or 12 I think. Read Tolkien first and then Dragonlance but it was my true first fantasy love. Which I know Tolkien is better but when I was a kid the D&D style of Dragonlance was just amazing, I have re-read them since and they are definitely not going to win any award but theirs just something about Weis and Hickmans writing that I love.

Mithlomwen

Waaaaaaaaaaaaay back when, when I first started writing/roleplaying, I started on one of the Yahoo (LOTR) sites.....so your username was your 'character'.  I went to one of the Elvish name generators, typed in my real name and Mithlomwen was what I got. 

Mithlomwen has been my online moniker for going on 20 years now. :-)
Baby, it's all I know,
that your half of the flesh and blood that makes me whole...

I chose mine because I am a nerd who wishes he had super powers.

Chasing Dreams

I chose this username because it reminds me to always go after my dreams and never give up on them.  :D

Thank you Amaris for the beautiful signature!


Thrak

I'm terrible when it comes to generic user names that wouldn't be associated with my characters, but I kinda like what I came up with here on the spur of the moment. Short and simple and easy to pronounce (just like 'track'), but at the same time not too 'obvious' and looking somewhat 'different'. Also not taken. That was an important factor, too - so I didn't have to add '123' at the end. :)

On one hand, it refers to Thracia and on the other, I associate it with... the onomatopoeic sound of something hard hitting something hollow. Like... my head!

DancingWithFairies

I love Fae mythology and aesthetics. I like dancing. It sounds cute and sensual and without being overly cheesy (at least in my opinion).

Or someone smacking two coconuts together! :D

Jester Dreamer Thief

It covers most of the characters I come up with. And... is the shortened version of an album by Edwin McCain.  ;)

Esoterica

My fondness for the mysterious, hidden, and of course esoteric lead me to choosing this nickname.
"The image ALT here""The image ALT here"

MrAlanNH

Mr, because to me being addressed as Mister So-and-so has a ring of formality and authority about it, which ties into a primary character type I enjoy (Dom/top male).

Alan, because it is one of my names.

NH, because it is the abbreviation of the state I live in.


Thus, MrAlanNH.

Elina

I met someone named Elina once and she was lovely.

Afsana

Because it means "story". And I love oriental settings. 1001 nights, Sheherazade, story tellers.. it just kind of fit for here.

Vlexia

When I was 16 I got super into the Pc game series Heroes of Might and Magic. There was a chaotic female hero that I always chose because I have always been attracted to the most theatrical.



Take a few letters out and you’ve got Vlexia 😁

If you cannot honor a No, then you certainly could never honor a Yes.
