I've used TheKillerAngel for about 10 years. I was thinking of a new online screenname to replace an old one, and decided that I liked the title of the Civil War historical novel The Killer Angels,  so I decided to adopt the singular form of it and have used it since.

I needed to make this account for some ME2 DLC issues. Just typed in the first thing that came into my mind. On other forums it's IllusiveManJr.

I usually use a different name. But after realizing that I've been playing less fantasy type games and more modern games, I realized my old name wasn't cutting it. (Especially since people couldn't pronounce it!)

This screenname is the name of my favorite custom machine from F-Zero.

It's from the NRL team I mostly support. Parra eels. Couldn't be bothered coming up with another one.

This is my PSN ID... And, me being lazy, just used it here...
Also, this was a nickname in Middle School. I like it, then I discovered that it sounds like a breed of dogs... I like dogs...

Mine is in memory of my father, he was an Air Force pilot and flew the P51 Mustangs, I pretty much grew up flying a Cessna 180 we owned on floats, in 1981 I had the oportunity to pilot a Mustang mk4 which is a memory that still brings a smile/

Because I am a Mass Effect Fan for life. I always will be, no matter what. 101.....well I don't know about that. I think it's based off of "T Model 101."

I threw it together, later I realized it's similar to Thor's Hammer (Mjolinir). I guess I just like how monolithic it sounds.

My first choice, however, was EUReKA. Unfortunately, it was taken.

I usually went with my real name, due to lack of creativity.

Recently, I found a name I liked, and I went with it. I use Lightning Cloud a lot, with quite a few variations. "Light Lee Cloud" being my favorite.

The Archangel Gabriel told me to pick this name in a dream I had a couple of years back.

If you like Final Fantasy, isn't Lightning Cloud a combination of the names of two major characters from the IP?

Because 'Zazzerka' is a mix of the letter 'Z' and the word 'Berserker', both of which are badarse, (In hindsight though, 'X' is much cooler than 'Z', so I should've used that. Damn!) and the 'GT' stands for 'Gamertag.'

Clever, huh?

Perhaps it's best if we don't ask why we chose our display pics.Posted Image

Frosty's been my nickname for 13 years, and the first website I registered that required a username had Frosty taken, so the first thing that came to me was 10001 to put after Frosty. So now I use that for everything I sign up for.

Lightning from FFXIII was the reason for the first name, along with Lightning Flash Asuna from Sword Art Online, but I've never played FFVII. Cloud is actually my name.

I chose it on a suggestion from a friend but my GT is Dragonzzilla, which I have had for years.

1981? 13 years? This forum makes me feel like I'm a kid sometimes.

This forum, I can't recall. My Xbox Live gamertag is Ethereal235. The 'Ethereal' bit came because for a little while, I liked huffing ether, but since it wasn't pure ether, there was some element of oxygen deprivation in there that, during the experiences, created a strong sense of... I don't know, I guess 'ethereal' just felt like a proper term to describe the experience, and since the word had 'ether' in it it felt appropriate.

The 23 and 5 are both references to Discordianism. Hail Eris!

I was watching Psych and there was an alias similar or the same as this.
I rather liked the sound of it so now all my handles everywhere are this.

My gamertag was Jackal when Halo was on Xboxconnect.com. Soon after I transfered it to xbox live. I joined the military and once I was able to get back online,I was offline for 4 years, I found that the account had been closed and the name was taken. So I made it KIjackalLL because that was the one thing I remember that people shouted constantly in during the game. "Will someone please kill jackal." lol. I had to add the 1 in the name because my bsn account was linked to another email address and I could not get it to switch over.

Typical SN I use for random accounts. Wish I could change it to my Origin Handle: USM-Valor, for the ship that you crash into during the first Dead Space.

I'm a fan of the cartoon Freakazoid!, so yeah, I got the name from the character in the show.
