WHAT'S IN A NAME....

bumpity bump bump (for the new lil kids)

[Styan]

Wow... Dig this one up and give it new life eh!


Styan came about from my brother, who had like 3 latin books just randomly lying around in his room, (he uses them for character names in his stories he writes, not to read them :p) anyway...  

The night that I signed on I wanted something original, something that wasn't my previous nick names... (Mr.Magoo or SuperSully, could you imagine having Mr.Magoo run around the matrix??)

So we opened the books and there was the word "Swift" and as you followed down the list from swift, stian was there.  

Now I didn't think the i looked to hot, so I looked for a letter that would allow for the same pronounciation.  y was the winner.

Just a quick search on google for "stian" you might find this.. "Stian - Swift, Scandinavian"

[Fuse]

Did I already tell about mine?
I had applied for MxO beta and re-watched the movies and realized I'd need a cool name.
In EQ, I had great names that I pulled from the air. My main char was Largic, and his last name derrived from my enchanters name, Larrentulle. One of my favorite names I had was for my shaman, Roche. Which means Rock in french of something.

Anyway, back to the story. When I had applied for MxO beta I started collaborating a list of good sounding names that were computer related, or had greek influences. Agamenon was one possibility, but considering the details of his story, I didn't feel it was completely fitting. If I had originally created a female, I wanted her to be Eos, which means "Goddess of dawn", but someone already has it. I had a ton related to a computer part, including Ras (Ras to Cas delay... too close to the character Cas in the film), also Bosi. An anagram of Bios, and also portray a bit of attitude.

A few hours before I found out I was accepted, the word "fuse" just popped inot my head and it just felt right. No real explanation why, but it just fit.

Nightmare Mode: sorta like the dimetric opposite of God Mode in a video game, it is a metaphor for this character's existence: starting fresh, as an RP'er, on the hostile server, with a faction tag that makes everyone want you back in the loading area.  The Matrix, cranked up to the hardest possible setting.

Holy Schmoley.... Talk about dragging the ole bones up from the grave  

[Manic Velocity]

I've had the handle "Manic Velocity" for about 10 years.

Jesus H. has it been that long?!

When I was 11 years old, I really started getting into techno/electronic music.  One of my favorite bands was Prodigy.  Their beautiful fusion of rock, techno, hip-hop, and jungle music really appealed to me.  It was different, and not a lot of people were listening to it.  I took a trip to the mall one day to pick up their only CD that I didn't have, "Prodigy: Experience".

As I sat at the bus stop waiting for the #23 bus to come take me home, I was flipping through the CD notes and found the bios of all the band members.  Keith Flint's bio stood out:

KEITH FLINT (Dancer)
Master of footwork. Creator of manic velocity body movements and techniques.
Hypo-Glocen content 82%
Clytrell balance .007 Centunes
Energy replacement 2000 KJ per second.

The term "manic velocity" sounded really cool, so I adopted it as my handle.  Even the license plate on my car reads "MANICV".


manic:  affected with or marked by frenzy uncontrolled by reason

velocity:  distance traveled per unit time

[Fuse]

By the way, I have a good story of my nickname before Fuse; Rubix.

When I had started DJing, a big thing a kid thinks about is his DJ name. So I was with my girlfriend trying to think of a good name. Nothing was really comming up while we were laying there. I picked up a Rubiks Cube and solved the thing, and I made a joke about it. "I'm like a rubiks cube, the more you play with it the harder it gets." Then her eyes lit up and she yelled "DJ Rubiks!". Changing the "ks" to "x" is just the cool thing to do, so I became Rubix. I have been known by that name for about 8 years now, but have slowly been forming into this new Fuse name I like better.

Meh you all know mine, i posted it before.  But I did used to have a char on one of the PVP worlds called TickleMeElmo.  So there.

[Heironymus]

Heironymus is actually Hieronymus Bosch the famous painter. Created many paintings about Heaven, Hell, and Earth...  I have always enjoyed drawing and painting when really angry... painting has become way to expensive for me now in college so I generally stick to drawing.. but I still enjoy the occasional famous painting here and there.

I really like the reasoning behind Nightmare's name.

Mine? I am the story behind my name. Didn't get it from anywhere.

BlueLeapord, aside from the 2005 and the mispelling, is a sign of my pride for the local football team, Louisville Leopards. Their mascot is a Blue Leopard.

I hate cheerleaders, and I hate school/team spirit. That's it blue, your ass is mine. WhiteMyst just looks cool =\ My first name was SeleneTheos, which means Moon God in greek... then i moved to Lohit Chandra which means Red Moon in sanskrit.. i figured it was time for a change. I think im sticking with WhiteMyst, i know the game Myst is spelled with a Y but to tell you the truth i didnt even think about that when I made this name... Not sure how i thought of it... but its kinda pleasing to say and see huh? WhiteMyst...... Anyways, my other two characters are Indra and Abadd0n (just spelled with a zero because the O was taken) Abaddon was the cheif of demons, not really the devil... but the devil's army commander so to speak Indra is my female character, Indra translates to She Who Walks In The Sea from greek. Just kinda neat I have also thought about using the name Achilles or Runner Achilles... cause he pwns. I should look into what White Mist or Mist translates to in greek huh?
P.S. Manic Velocity... that sounds cool ^_^ My favorite term in physics was Terminal Velocity... it just sounded like.... PWHEH YEA !!! TERMINAL VELOCITY BIIIIIOOOOOOOTCH! ... I could be your counterpart :p... MANIC VELOCITY, AND HIS SIDEKICK TERMNIAL VELOCITY BOY!!!! "Look I cant fall faster than 9.8 f/s ... or whatever it was >.< Terminal Velocity is the maximum speed at which gravity can pull you down without any assistance or hinderance such as air resistance or downward winds... if those exist.  

~Jeff, the god of biscuts <- Another good name, and no my name isn't jeff

If you hate cheerleaders you might as well leave the ship then.

I hate cheerleaders, and I hate school/team spirit.

##Application to the Carpe Diem terminated.

##Suggests to Misty Boy to try marching, just once, and not enjoy the "school/team spirit" when just WATCHING the show exhausts you and the Alma Mater is so beautiful people from OTHER schools start crying .... biatch :p

P.S. I revived the thread because someone sent me a PM asking about my name, so I thought they prolly want to know about everyone else's', too >^_^<

P.P.S. I really need to get one of those handy VHS to DVD recorders and put last year's show up for you guys to see .... we definately ended by packing in 250 people in a 10 meter square .... and then, there was Tuba Fire hehehehehehe

....... marching band is cool as long as they are good. But fuck the school, im here to learn not promote them. They teach me, I leave, I get a job, i continue on with my miserable life. I dont need to make those little... woo school pitstops. And as for hating cheerleaders... i hate those loud obnoxious noises they make, and that yay team thingy..... but i dont mind looking at them ^_~ -purrr- Too bad grim is a band geek and not a cheerleader huh >> << Did i say that out loud? Whoops. :p

I actually love band, the really good ones are cool... that takes mad skills. However im more of a vivaldi, the four seasons classical guy (however i would prefer trance and rock or whatever to classical.... if i have to choose a genre in classical, low key downbeat ).... not that happy stuff they like to play But ok ok... for the sake of getting on the carpe diem. Go team! Go band! And cheerleaders... just try not to burn my virgin eyes with your slut-ness ^_~ Oh and dont wear shorts... that ruins the fun.
