I was thinking about changing meh user name to something like [AM] (Like Teh MH's, but without the dots and different letters). Those happen to be meh intials. Lightbeam911 came from nowhere. I was thinking about using sunray911 also. 911 is just easy to remember, so I used that.

kupocake.

"Kupo" is the phrase moogles from the Final Fantasy games say (in contrast to "KUPEH!" which I think means enemy, and "kupo" means friend). I originally thought of the name kupoNUTcake (after the main source of food for the moogles, the kuponut), but I shortened it down to kupocake. The first time I used "kupocake" as a username was in Neopets, more then 3 years ago.

You could translate it a few ways. To Final Fantasy fans, it's obvious that it should be read kupo-cake. As for some other people, they think it's read kup-o-cake, as in a cup of cake (wtf?). To those who thought that "kupo" means "friend" in Mooglish, then it could say friendcake, like a dessert shared by your buddies.

I have used many different names all over the place, but only this one on Gaia. I guess it all really just depends on what names have already been taken at a place.

~shrugs~

Scintillement is french for sparkle I believe. Not to mention it just sounds nifty to me.

I'm a Half-Life addict. Many, many ages ago I once tried the name "Alien-N-A-Jar." Then I came up with Mutant Headcrab. It has been my SN ever since. I use it, or variations of it, everywhere I go.

I know what MH originally ment, but you're gonna have to bribe me to get it. xd

Anyway, mine was a mess up it was ment to be Ryudo from Get Backers. But at the time I forgot it was Ryudo. It ended up as Ryuondo. My other ones, Shlag, Koori, and Vizell.

Shlag was used in Byond when there was a game on it where you had a monster and you built stuff. Thats where I came up with the name Shlag. Koori(one of the names I use when playing a female character), which means ice in Japanese, was originally an OC for an RP. She was an assassin and thus ice for a cold as ice demeanor(sp?). Vizell, my more common female name, I got from one of my favorite bands, Vizell, a Japanese visual rock band(I have four of their songs in my profile playlist. Shucchou 'XXX' Service, Rape Myself, Portrait and Jigyaku Mousou for those who will look and listen to their awesomeness.). I just thought it sounded nice, so I use it in Oblivion, Lineage 2, and my first use; Space Cowboy.

I use a number of names in Oblivion as I have a butt load of characters. Taki(Vampire spellsword original class: Ninja), Kasumi(Awesome warrior/assassin with a mage complex, original class: Ronin), Vizell(my first mage, OC: Black Mage).

MakoRufus

I was in my Junior year of high school and was attending my 3rd year of french. In that class, we had these sisters that were twins, Fiorella and Vanessa. They were a strange pair, but likeable nonetheless. The one day ask me, "Hey, do you have a nickname?"

I reply, "Naw, nobody ever gave me one. Why?"

They look at each other with an evil grin, "No? Ok, we'll give you one then. From now on your nickname shall be, Mako Rufus!"

I stared in confusion, ".........K!"

Guess the M and R in makorufus are used for my initials to my real name. They chose Mako because its another name for shark, me thinks, and they love sharks. Rufus was just because they think it's a cool name.

Funny thing though, lots of people ask me, "Oh! You got that name from Final Fantasy VII, right? Mako, the lifestream, and Rufus the president, right?!" No. The twins never knew what FF was....... Coincidence is a funny thing......... sweatdrop

most of the time online I use the name metal_ninja, however when I signed up for Gaia it was having trouble, and I got frustrated and put in some weird password and e-mail that i dont rember. So after hours of trying to recover that name I just settled with the first thing could think of.

If you go to the profile of metal_ninja you will see no posts and no stuff...

fire_ninja
