So, I'll go first. Decoyman was a comic character with a big target on his chest that I used to draw in high school. He was a sort of accidental superhero, whose only power was to keep other characters (such as those from my other comics: Super Slug and Jan Snordan, the skiing Norwegian) from getting hurt. I think I dissolved him in acid, dropped anvils on him, and did all sorts of other nasty stuff to him. But since he was like made of jelly or something, he was never hurt too bad. His arch-nemesis was Dr. Fuzzball, who was evil, and had some sort of tragic past (he didn't used to be a fuzzball) that drove him to his evil ways. Their rivalry was never resolved because, well to be honest, I got too busy. But it was good (and weird) enough to be used as a screen name, and so, his odd legacy lives on to this day.
So how 'bout anybody else? I'm curious about lots of you guys, so I want to hear 'em all

Ironicly I don't play fighting games much as I use too.
I now play SF2 on the Wii, with some Guilty Gear on the side, that's about it.

Ceric Tiegjunge von Traum
Then when I first used it in a CS match with the Comp Club I found it to be to long so it became:
Ceric
After that it actually went through an alternative because someone else in the world seems to like the name Ceric as well so for some things I'm:
CericME
Fun factoid is that the ME stand for Millenium Edition. I'm the only one who liked the OS and had a rock solid experience with it. The secret was to let something else do some of the memory management.

Some think its because of the similarly named cigar Black and Mild's
but even though that may be partially true, I actually picked the name cause it actually describes me for the most part.
I am a black man who happens to be very mild tempered, with N being a much better and abbreviated way of saying "and", hence the BlackNMild
2k1, well thats the year I started using the name, and its also when I turned 21(I could finally be a legal alchoholic, YaY!)
UB, is Bill your uncle? Does he really go by the name Bob inreal life? Its ok, you can tell us, we're all family here.... No that doesn't mean we are all gonna touch you you too, as we can't all be your uncle. Besides he obviously called "dibs" already, and none of us would want to break that sacred rule of trust, it just wouldn't be right.

"Easy Cure were a British punk rock and post-punk influenced band from Crawley, Sussex formed during the late '70s by former members of Malice. Easy Cure went on to fame when, after several lineup changes, they became The Cure."
The Cure, after i got into their music, became my most favorite band and biggest influence. I chose EasyCure to reflect their beginnings with my beginnings on this forum (first, and really only forum im a part of). also because it represents the band when they were a bit more of a punk band and when i first got into music it was all old 70s punk, and like them, i too changed and grew into a wider range of styles.
My avatar is from their 1982 album; Pornography not one of my favorite albums but one of the best covers they have.

Quote from: Wikipedia
Stratos (Greek: στρατός, meaning "army") is a fictional character from the popular Masters of the Universe franchise.
He is a member of the Heroic Warriors. Stratos is the leader of a race of Bird People from the land of Avion, Eternians with the power of flight and other bird-like abilities. The Bird People are close allies of He-Man, and Stratos is one of his most trusted warriors. Besides the power of flight and his aerial acrobatic skills, Stratos is also a handy spy for the Heroic Warriors due to his sharp, bird-like eyes. In several versions of the franchise, he can also fire energy blasts from his hands.

I always wondered if it was from SC and i'm glad i was right! As for that last part.. uhm i have to go back and play Soul Calibur.. lol
As for me..
Quote from: Wikipediapage; The Cure
Formation and early years (1973–1979) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cure#Formation_and_early_years_.281973.E2.80.931979.29)
The first incarnation of what became The Cure was The Obelisk, a band formed by students at Notre Dame Middle School in Crawley, Sussex. The band .... featured Robert Smith (piano), Michael "Mick" Dempsey (guitar), Laurence "Lol" Tolhurst (percussion), Marc Ceccagno (lead guitar) and Alan Hill (bass guitar).The first real incarnation though came in January 1976 when Ceccagno formed Malice with Smith and Dempsey along with two other classmates...., Smith now also on guitar and Dempsey switching to bass. Increasingly influenced by the emergence of punk rock, Malice's remaining members became known as Easy Cure in January 1977.Smith and Dempsey had, by this time, been joined by Lol Tolhurst from The Obelisk on drums, and new lead guitarist Porl Thompson. Both Malice and Easy Cure also trialed several unsuccessful vocalists before Smith finally assumed the role of Easy Cure's frontman in September 1977.
That year, The Easy Cure won a talent competition with the German label Hansa Records, and received a recording contract. Following disagreements in March 1978 over the direction the band should take, the contract with Hansa was dissolved. Smith later recalled "We were very young. They just thought they could turn us into a teen group. They actually wanted us to do cover versions and we always refused." Thompson was dropped from the band that May, and the remaining trio was soon renamed The Cure by Smith.
And there you have it. The reasoning behind it was, well The Cure was one of those bands i'd always heard of but never listened to. When i did my mind was blown and music was never the same again, seriously. No other band can play some vastly different styles and make it sound perfect and seem effortless. To grow from one genre/style to another over your career is one thing, but to be able to produce vastly different sounding music on a single album is simply amazing. Thus they left their mark on me, and the name stuck not only as something that sounds pretty cool, but I've applied my own personal meaning to it.
Now you know!
Also, those of you hear when I first showed up might remember my first avatar:
(http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l28/ThreeImaginaryBoys/Randomness/curePornography.jpg)
Which is The Cure's fourth studio album, Pornography (1982) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornography_(album)). The shrunken image is a little hard to see but if you follow the link, you'll see the image of the then 3 Cure band members on the album cover. The Cure's first album, Three Imaginary Boys, was actually the first inspiration for a username when i decided to join the forums but i couldn't for the life of me get a damn comfirmation email, so i went through a ton of variations on that name before getting lucky with EasyCure. Oh, for those of you who have played Animal Crossing on-line with me, you may find this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Boys_Don%27t_Cry.jpg) image familiar.. as its my Curiosa town flag!

I've personally never been a fan of numbers in usernames or emails, but thats just because its easier to remember a name/phrase than a slew of numbers. One or two isn't bad obviously (as in your case) but i hated having friends emails or instant messenger names be something like SuperMario123456798. That wasn't a typo either, i meant the 9 to come before the 8 to show how annoying it can be. You sit there thinking "oh it wasn't that hard, it was sSuperMario123456789@__.com" and two seconds later you get that notification that the email wasn't delivered cuz you fucked up their retarded name! UGH!

I have not read the book, and I liked the name but it so happened that I was doing some research and came about this name and the character's personality which at the time I identified with. I still like the name just as much as I like my first name.
Post by: EasyCure on July 16, 2009, 11:56:06 AM
I made it a rule for myself to never use numbers like that, but more for uniqueness and creativity. Actually even I have trouble remembering how to spell my AIM screen name (mtndeworcrabjuce) because I forget how I abbreviated it to fit within the size limit.
Yeah i'm the same way. Unless I had no choice but to add a number in it, i wouldn't. For instance, when i mentioned earlier how i originally went with "ThreeImaginaryBoys" as my username for the forums; if it were too long i might of settled for "3ImaginaryBoys" or something like that.

My first name "Don'tHate742" was derived from a rhyme I had used quite often; e.g. Don't hate, celebrate; but any word could replace "celebrate" as long as it rhymed. The "742" was taking from the Simpsons address.
Requiem came from a beat I made that sampled from the easily recognizable theme of "Requiem for a Dream." It was the first beat I've ever made, but it was the one that got me started. So I called myself Requiem in honor of that theme.
