I hate all of the usernames I've ever made up (and I have quite a few), but since I am incapable of thinking of something cool, this was a sodditanythingwilldo name. I write a lot of stories and there is this magic house that keeps appearing in them over and over again. Probably because I can't be bothered to think of something new. The house is Downs End, always down the end of a road some place, hence the lame username.

Oh, and I live on a dead end lane, I guess.

I just picked Smiter because I liked the sound of it. happy.gif I also used to play some Quake II and Unreal Tournament online, so it felt like a nice fit for those kind of games as well.

Really? Whenever I see your username it makes me want to yell type SMITE ME OH MIGHTY SMITER

sweatdrop.gif Unfortunately I have a bit of a story for mine.

It all started in '05 when I joined the infamous NarutoFan forums. Then I was known as WhirlpoolFishcake, a translation of Naruto's name. Well, when I jumped into the Adult Section known as the bathhouse, people called me Whirly to keep things short. Sometime later I became known as Sir Whirly, Duke of the Bathhouse, and the rest is history. a_thumbs.gif

Well mine right now is "Warrior of the Sky" translated into japanese Romaji. Ive always had a thing for the sky and clouds (sorta Shikamaruish sweatdrop.gif ) So i just built from there. I figured it would sound cooler in japanese, and so Sora no Senshi was born.

However, my original and forever favorite would be Zman170. My name starts with a Z, and my favorite number is 17, so i basiclly threw it all together and out came my original username.

Get Chance and Luck!!~

My new username, Melancholy Vixen has a bit of a past... In an old roleplay I had, my character's name was Vixen, so I ended up using that for a lot of sites and stuff because it was easy to remember. but I got bored of JUST "Vixen," so I was trying to think of other names. On some sites I'm "FullmetalVixen" simply because it sounds cool (even if FMA is so beaten to death for me that it makes me nauseous), but I got sick of that too. I wanted a cool word that wasn't cheery and not everyone would know.

Then I thought back to my Language Art class when one of our words was "Melancholy" or a depression of spirits. So I was like, "YESH."

And that's that.

Nothing too special about my name. It's my Xbox Live gamertag. Back when I was crazy addicted to Halo, Raven was my name. When I set up my XBL account, that name was already taken as you could imagine. So I asked myself "What's the most destructive force on the planet? A nuclear bomb". So I combined the two hence "NuclearRaven" Now after that I realized that a hydrogen bomb was more powerful but "HydrogenRaven" doesn't sound as cool does it?

Eh. My username is self-explanatory. XD

When I first decided to join, my username was going to be CherriiBlossoms (my previous name on Live Chat before that changed), seeing as 'Cherry' wasn't all too creative... so I went with the two i's. But after awhile, I decided to forget that idea and stick with Sakura~Kitsune. Sakura, because I'm a fan of her character and Kitsune because it's one of my favorite animals.

In a nutshell, this username has nothing to do with my support for NaruSaku. Seeing as after awhile, I finally realized the relation to the pairing like an idiot. However, during my two years here, I've been known to go by a minimum amount of nicknames~

...

Which include Kitsu-chan (the very first!), Kit, Sa~Kitsu, Sakitsune and Kit-Kat

XDDDD

Just using the ~ symbol adds to the randomness. It never gets enough credit in the keyboard world.



gawd. i remember saying the same thing for that other similiar thread. XD
