Mine was given to me due to my oh so jovial and unconstrained demeanor. (note sarcasm)

The only thing that matters is how well you walk through the fire.

Well I'm... not young, and most times I feel
sort of fogey-ish (what's an ipod?). Also my
real name is Jane. That one's been taken.

Needless to say my favorite lines all sound
something like this: "JAAAAAYNE!!!"

KEVAR

Kevar was bestowed upon me by my favorite brother-in-law when I was about seven and he has called me it ever since.(my real name is Kevin) Chances are, if you run into a Kevar elsewhere it's me. I love all the screennames though. Anyone familiar with the Pat Cadigan book "Synners"? can appreciate the beauty of screennames/alternate identities.

DRAGONFEAR987

my name comes from the dragonlance fantasy series, dunno if neone here has ever read any of those books. but during middle school a friend got me addicted to those books, and id read em nonstop. neway one day i was looking for a name for a game and i started using dragonfear. dragonefear was the term used in the series for the fear that people felt whenever dragons came close. it wasnt really magic, i dont remember exactly how the books explained it, its been ages since ive read them, but it was pretty much just the feeling of terror that people felt when the dragons came. the number is simple enough, just take them from the top right of the keyboard. its usually either 987 or 88 when i make profiles.

And then getting shot.

First off I just wanted to comment on this, when me and my friends would play Goldeneye on the N64 my cousin would always forgo weapons to play as The Slapper. Since the default weapon was the karate chop.

My name:

Fred, I was homeschooled for the majority of my school career. When I was dumped back into public school in 8th grade there was already a Jeff in the class (my real first name is Jeff) so one of the other kids called me Fred. The name stuck and to this day I think there are people from my school who still think that that is my name.

Giblet comes from the fact that I used to play lot of Unreal Tournament, I was much better than all my friends so I usually ended up killing them easily (one game of Quake 1 ended with the score 20 to 1 my lead). When a body blows up in a shooter the pieces are called gibs, hence fredgiblet.

Stupid, but no one else uses it so I keep using it.

EDIT: I got the idea to Google my name from this post, everyting that came up is from me, though I don't specifically remember it all.

SERVANTOFKUSHIEL

My favorite book is Kushiel's Dart. It is the story of a courtesan who is also a spy. The main character is a whore (In the book they are called Servants of Naamah) who reminds me very much of Inara. Great tragic fantasy novels.
So SERVANTOFKUSHIEL just kinda fit.

P.S. A little extra - Kushiel is the god of pain and redemption in the books.

Nothin' too clever here folks.Saw the BDM.Heard Mal say the line and thought to myself "that ones gotta be taken already,guess I'll end up as nottyman or something".The rest is history.Also the name sort of fits my personality,although I'm by no means a badass,I am kind of a wise-guy,joker type.I'm also naughtyman on most other Firefly sites except for the official Serenity site.

Mine is fairly simple as well. Shiny is probably my most used word from the FF 'verse so of course I wanted to use it as apart of my name. The Geeket part, well that just seemed like the best word to describe myself

"We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land'."
