[Force of Power]

Was going to be Triforce of Power. It was too long. The more ya know.

 

[Dimooshky]

Simple amalgamation of Dimitri, Moosh and Ricky from the Oracles

 

[Memory]

Cause you know. "Memory". A word that holds many meanings and how our life goes. It's a very special name And also this:

 

[Zarah]

I got mine from my very first forum I was on years ago. i went by something else back then, but it had my real name "sarah" in it. However, one of the members there was convinced that "zarah" was how you actually spelled "sarah" so they just kept calling me that. I thought it was funny, so I never corrected them. And so, "Zarah" was born.

I prefer Bewbs

 

[Moonstone]

Imogen Heap. Attempt to be more feminine, since "Furie" is quite masculine/androgynous. "Furie" is the nicknames of one of my favorite characters in literature.

 

[Violet Link]

I got my username from the Four Swords Adventures manga, because I fell in love with Violet Link and how smart he is. Violet also brings a lot of meaning, and it's also my favorite color.

 

[Fig]

You guys will probably enjoy my story. I personally can't do simple sentences as I really love going into detail, so I don't mind writing a few paragraphs to let you guys know why I chose my username "Fig". It's quite a heartwarming tale and I still remember every single detail about it ever since I was given my nickname. And with that, I shall tell you guys the tale of how I got the name Fig.

After I graduated from middle school, I committed myself to still stay in the band as I love music and my band friends were always going to stay so the logical choice for me at the time was to continue as I transitioned to high school. Every summer, we have this thing called summer band where we basically learn the basics (if you are a freshman) about marching and learn everything about our theme of the show for the year. This includes memorizing our music, knowing where our spots where from set to set, and pretty much make sure that our intonation is in perfect balance (which is hard for us French Horn players , Gummy and anyone currently in their high school band will understand. :xd with the rest of the band. As I was trying to get my part memorized within the first week of summer band, I was blessed to meet the Assistant Director of the band one-to-one, Mr. Lopez. Though he was a Saxophone specialist, his favorite instrument was the French Horn and actually knew how to fix my problems that I had at the time. Since then, I would always go to him for assistance, guidance, and knowledge as I started to form a bond with one of the most influential people who have made a positive impact in my life.

One the second week, Wednesday to be precise, was when I got my name. I was practicing for the All-State Music Competition (a competition where you compete against fellow musicians who play the same instrument as oneself within your District and if you placed high enough you can compete at the Region level, followed by Area and then finally the State level where pretty much you are considered on the of the best musicians in your state even US for that matter), Mr. Lopez came up to me and told me that I was doing an amazing job for pushing myself in learning the music. I thanked him for his compliment and then he told me the following words:

Hey buddy! I'm really proud of you for wanting to strive for excellence. You remind me so much of my best friend when I was high school. You even have his last name. When we were in high school, we always gave ourselves nicknames because his last name was Figueroa, I called him Fig for short. *chuckles* I was wondering since you remind me so much of him, my I call you Fig in honor of him?

It was how he stated his words that truly touched and captured my heart. You see, his friend recently passed away from cancer (roughly two or three years ago at the time), so I knew how he felt as I experienced such a harsh situation before. I felt so honored and touched that he would like to honor his best friend throughout his life by giving me that same nickname he gave to him. In the time that I got to knew my band director, I always felt that Mr. Lopez acted a lot like my father in terms of personality as he never lost hope in me and always told me that I can do anything if I simply put my mind to it. And because of that, I wear my name with pride and I honor both Mr. Lopez and his best friend with my unique name and it really is. I'm blessed to have been given the honor of receiving my name from a very influential person in my life and to this day I still keep contact with him and tell him all of my wonderful adventures and experiences that I have been a part of in my college life! The name Fig isn't just an alias that I use to give myself a name, it's a part of who I am in this beautiful and cruel world. It's what makes myself who I am right now and I wouldn't want it any other way! :3

 

[Big Octo]

It was kinda hot, but not too bad, I guess.

 

[Sir Quaffler]

Mine's not terribly interesting. I just really like the Harry Potter series, the Quiddich matches in particular are fascinating. The Quaffle really stuck with me as an interesting name. So, I stuck an -r at the end to make it a new word, and decided to become knighted by Queen Snitches to show my dedication to being as much of a gentleman as I can.

 

[LilyBeans]

I was eating Jelly Beans, and Lily Potter's cool.

 

[Akuhime-sama]

I made it up.
I was trying to think of something cool, and I was learning Japanese, so I took a few ideas, and Akuhime-sama sounded the best.
(I actually think my friend came up with it when I was brainstorming)

It means, Dark Princess, or that's what I was going for anyway.

"Aku" could be used as "dark", "evil" or "bad". [It's also the official name used for Dark types in Japanese copies of Pokemon]
"hime" is princess,
and "-sama" is a Japanese name-suffix that you would use to refer to a princess by.

 

[Killjoy262]

I was trying to access my PS3 account(that I started on my dads PS3) after I eventually got my own but it seemed to have been deleted so I just started looking through a dictionary and came across the word "Killjoy"(the username was actually taken so I was forced to add a little extra). So then it stuck.

 

[Mercedes]

A car.

 

[Ocarina_Player]

Well I originally wanted to be Reincarnation_of_Link, which was my online name for everything since the eighth grade. However that was too long so I went with Ocarina_Player, which was my name when I joined my first Zelda board, Great Deku Tree Forums. Man, good times those were.
