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.

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'.

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 :razz:

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

You know...this thread sort of makes me wonder...

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?

I only started using Mikaiten this year. My roomie kept bugging me that I didn't have an original alias. (pft, his was Tang)

Anyway, before that I was:

Manda
Vixen
Seraphim
Witchhawk
erm.. think that's it.

In real life I'm every variant of Amanda,except for Mandy.

Last one is Princess, which my beau calls me.

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. :wink:

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???)

That doesn't really scare me, as my 'persona' is best known for not having any internal juices beside hydraulic fluid anyway :grin:.
