[Night Hammer]

This is kinda like the who are we thread, but Ive always just wondered like where/how everyone picked their nickname and why?

Night Hammer= Super Star Destroyer(also Knight Hammer) from one of the Star Wars books, always kinda liked it.

So what about yall?

[Hippo]

This's been done many times over, but we can always do it again...

5th grade teacher made us do a paper on animals... I chose the Hippo... dunnow why, but it stuck... been like that for 6 years now...

[Rictor]

uh, he's this guy from the Xmen universe. This was a long time ago, though I remember I saw it in a comic, thought it sounded kind of cool and here we are today.

Yeah, nerd.

[aldo_14]

I have 'Aldo' and the number '14' on the back of many of my football shirts.  That pretty much sums it up.

[Knight Templar]

I secretly run the world.

[Dark_4ce]

Well. My nick came from of places. Probably mainly the Lucasarts game Dark Forces. Then when I got my hotmail account I couldn't write Dark Force so I added the 4 to substitute For in Force. Dark_4ce. But then later the 4 looks like a l337 version of A, so some people started knowing me as Dark_Ace. Which was cool also. So now its pritty much both.

[Grey Wolf]

I lack imagination.

[Gortef]

Just a bunch of letters that popped into my mind years and years ago

[karajorma]

The name of the Goddess of Undead in an AD&D campaign I GM'd for. One day I needed a yahoo handle and the first few tries resulted in complaints that the name had already been taken.

So I figured that no one would have Karajorma since I'd invented it and the name just stuck.

[diamondgeezer]

My name says what I am

[Blaise Russel]

Middle names.

[Flipside]

Means either looking at things from a different perspective, or the situation directly after a battle/confrontation, e.g. 'See you on the Flipside'.

Edit : Oh, and if I remember right, Rictor was Cyclop's brother, and could create miniature Earthquakes, I think he also died once

[Ghostavo]

StarCraft's ghost unit mixed with my first name

[Hippo]

no, no, thats Havok.

to my eternal shame, I later found out that he's gay - I mean literally, have-sex-with-a-man, gay.

Hundreds of comic-book characters, and I end up with one of the handful of homos. Damn, I sure know how to pick em, eh?

[Flipside]

Ah right, It's been a few years since I read Marvel....

[Zarax]

Ancient greek island which happened to be similar to my surname (which is also a city name... a cookie to who finds it )...
In the end i colonized the internet with it (over 50% of the places are related to me if you do a search)...
