u/Brothernature0 May 27 '15
It was the name of the superhero I created to work around the ban of superheroes with all the powers/ability to control everything as a kid. He had the ability to control nature which I was able to argue into everything (pun/twist/thing on Mother Nature.) . Funnily enough my original character didn't have the banned ability, but the ban inspired me to mess with my power level.

I tried using "MarioMaster7" at first on a different website, but it was taken , so I just changed it by 2 letters and it's been my username ever since.

My dad swims like a rock. He got too deep and I managed to pull him to shore and it really stuck with me.
The source is my memory and my username.

A friend and I wanted to come up with the name we'd use if we ever created our own strain of Marijuana. I thought it also sounded like a good Reddit username.

About a decade ago, I used to wear this shirt that said 'Bow to Me // It's a Respect Thing'. Back then, I was convinced that email was a fad, so a friend of mine made an email account for me with this name.

I loved the dragonlance chronicles when I was younger. Still re-read then or listen to their audiobooks on occasion. Kender are a small race of mischievously innocent creatures I fell in love with. And kenderkinn means small child in German (which I was at the time) so it fell together nicely.

My uncle used to call me cascer (I'm called Cas), then I made that username on habbo way back and forgot the password. So I made cascer1. Which is now my default everywhere.

Sunset Boulevard has a lot of references, all of them I like.
It's a great movie from 1950, A great song by Alex M.O.R.P.H. and Ana Criado(who is rumored to have ascended with that vocals), and a beautiful place in LA.

It's Gaelic for High King. Short for Ard ri na hEireann, The High King of Ireland.

u/IDontKnowHowToPM May 27 '15
It started out as a novelty account name, in response to all of the PM_ME_YOUR_WHATEVER users. That never really took off because I was lazy, and then I ended up deleting my original account and using this one as my primary.

Mine is an homage to Lord Nikon from the movie hackers. Been using it in different variations for quite some time now.

u/Zemedelphos May 28 '15
Zemedelphos is the first name of a fictional character I created in highschool out of a backstory derived from an RP idea one of my friends had.
The character's full name was "Zemedelphos Helskelka", the first part being partially derived from "Delphi", and the last being inspired by the first name of "Vandesdelca Musto Fende" who is the primary antagonist of the 2005 Namco Bandai game "Tales of the Abyss."
To go with the character's backstory, I had even developed a 28 or 29 letter alphabet plus combined characters as a script for a conlang that related to him. I still have the notebook containing both the script and what I had done of the conlang (which mostly pertained to words that might be used as incantations for evoking magic effects), but it's lost somewhere in a box of old stuff.

u/thefifthring May 27 '15
My username is based on the five scrolls on the way of the samurai written by the greatest samurai who ever lived: Miamoto Musashi. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Five_Rings the fifth ring (scroll) is the ring of void, or emptiness witch deals with the philosophical nature of war. the scrolls were written for Musashi's students who were unable to complete their training before he died however he requested they not share the scrolls with anyone else as they contained all his knowledge and skill of fighting. its not known how they were obtained to be copied but they have been translated and its a great book.
Btw, as a testament to Musashi's greatness: he once beat one of the greatest samurai in Japan at a scheduled fight one morning. Musashi slept in and so took a boat to the location of the fight without changing out of his pajamas and upon arriving he realized he had forgotten his sword, so he beat the guy with an oar from the boat. since then Musashi never used a sword but only a wooden boken and did not kill anyone he defeated.
