It's the name of the main character in Dragon Quest IV. When I first joined the RPG Maker forums, I used his portrait as my avatar.

But now, I realize that the name really does apply to me. I prefer to work alone, for instance. I've always been kind of a loner; I never had all that many friends (not that I was desperate or anything). And as a game designer, I'm proud to be making a go of it... Solo! ;)

...Well, besides the music, but I even dabbled in that just a bit! :D

When I was 12,I thought Houndoom was the coolest pokemon and thought he was the dark-version of Arcanine,so I named myself Darkanine on several sites/forums,and it just kind of stuck.

His is easily my favorite lead character design in the series. In DQ9 I mixed Loto's Aliahan Clothes with Solo's Zenithian Helmet to achieve my ideal look. :p

That, and the scene in the beginning of Chapter 5 in DQ4, when Eliza (umm, that is her name, right!?) transforms into him using the new spell she just mastered, and sacrifices herself while he can only hear the clanging blades on the other side of the wall... that was totally amazing. If only he spoke, dang it! I can't imagine the pain he must have felt.

For me, I have psychosis. My whole life I have heard voices, so I first thought I had a guardian angel, eventually he started telling me to do bad things. I was smart enough not to follow 'his' instructions, so I never got in trouble.

Eventually I was diagnosed with 'Psychosis with Schizophrenic Features', it means I hear voices that have a personality. I don't see them, so I am lucky enough to not have hallucinations.

Anyways, 'he' kind of named himself 'Jerico', and when he started to tell me to do bad things I thought I was possessed or haunted.

So, 'The host of Jerico' or, Jericoshost.

My psychosis isn't evident to most people, unless I let them know. Mild diagnosis, so mild the medication does more harm than good so I just handle it in my own way.

And I feel that this has helped me understand psychology better, and REALLY hope that helps me scare the pants off some players! BD   :stare:

Kj is the initials of my name, and 3400 is a set of important numbers that I can't tell you unless you wanted me to kill you. :|

That, and I wanted my username to be a constant across the sites that I go to on the internet, so someone could say, 'Hey, aren't you from (insert other site here)?' and I can say 'Why yes, yes I am :D '

Mine is an evolution, back when Counterstrike 1.5/6 was the order of the day I used to play as D_Rebel but when I joined a clan one of it's co-founders was Rebel so I opted to change my name and as my most common death in CS was to be headshot I took the name Headshotted.  After a few years I decided that it was too cumbersome so shortened it to Headdie.

Ika is squid in Japanese. And we have this weird thing in my family where people like to call one another 'squid,' which just started this whole ongoing squid thing for us.

From Tolkein elvish-ish. It's the combination of the words "Crimson" and "Dragon". I made it about fifteen years ago, and it's never taken on forums or in games, so I've stuck with it :)

Laura is my first name, and most of the stuff I tell to people (even if it is the truth) tends to get the reaction 'Yeah, Right...' It kinda stuck.

I usually give my virtual names a lot of thought and depth, but this game I just chose randomly as the first set of words to come into my mind.

Some people think I named myself after the tv series "Firefly"  :guffaw:

"deaddrift" is a fly fishing term, where the line is left slack as it floats downstream, usually doubling on itself, and is a good way to recreate a natural motion of an organic insect

Counter Strike.  Everyone was "player" by default, so I just modified it a little.  Now I'm forever bound to it.

I read Anne Mccaffrey's Dragon Riders of Pern and the book Dragonsong as a kid. They had awesome dragons on the cover. I guess I'd figure someone would recognize it. It's also my Steam name and my chosen forum name if it's not taken. Plus it's fairly feminine. Kinda.

This one? I had just finished reading Super Dangan Ronpa 2 and I thought Ronpa would be a fun name. Or something. I don't know.

Because I move 10 times quicker then a dead sloth. So I am called "Usain" by my tribe.

No, I don't give out autographs.
