Ah well - time for a fairly generic question. What names have you used online? Do you use different names in different places? You get the idea.
Me? Heh - I've been Max Damage since I wandered onto the web, and will probably stay this way for quite some more time to come. I do use my real name where I have to, of course.
We may be pirates, but we're not barbarians. We'll let them keep the toilet paper.

Okay, my main name I use is Gaeron or Gaera. Gaeron and Gaera are the same exact name, in truth. It's like the French endings that change depending on the word that follows. It's a name of a character I created a while ago.
My other aliases are Caitin, Lupus Longclaw, and SocialParaiah. I also have multiple (by multiple meaning almost 90) characters in a chat room system (IMC), multiple (10) in a chat world (Furcadia), multiple (12) on a MUCK (Redwall MUCK), and one on another MUCK (Altered Realities).
I've been Striker since I first got online, and a long time before that already. Actually, the full name would be 'Matt Striker'. There's a sort of history behind that name...among other things, it's a RPG character of mine.
Other names I've used include 'Galdir Eonai', 'Panther AC', 'Mr.Photon' and 'Arandon'.

I've only had a few. Talon
Gen.Talon
and Aqua on a few places.
I've pretty much been called Talon since 1996 and I think its been growing on me..My car is an Eagle 'Talon'
Some of my friends call me 'squeek'
and in boot camp I was called 'Shake and Bake' (Don't ask)
In The Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
SiLintLi is my main account name, eveywhere, but I have had variations as SiLint, SiLint_Cat, Si_borg, Silently... stuff like that.
My oldest account name anywhere was BloodyTillie. Tillie is my real name, and I am actually pretty bloody at times (moral: never fight with anyone twice your size.)
Then I've had several novelty accounts, MashoGrimReaper, dr_dreadful, 4450757, GothicBeej, Don_Karnage... stuff like that.
It seems that I'm the only person on the entire web to only ever use one name. I'm not sure whether that's good, or just a sign of my stoic stubborn nature

Feh, I refuse to realease alias' based on the fact that if we've met before, and i don't talk to you regularly it's probably best you don't know who i am >=P
How many people here use their online aliases as more than a name? How many here have an online 'persona', for role-playing, art, stories or similar, and what are they like?
Hmm... all my aliases. I've been using the electronic communication systems since I got my first Amiga in '89. I feel rather inadequate now, I've only got one alias: ValB7. And that one is used at only one bulletin board. I feel like I failed my 'geek' quota. Excuse me, I gotta' go buy a yellow and red plaid suit now.

I think I'm like the way I post in RL.....but of course I have a face and figure just made for the Web.....and the first to infer that I have 8 legs and a spinnaret gets bound in silk and the juices sucked out of them (dear God what am I implying???)
