    My step dad owns land in Greece. Skaros is the name of the mountain where the land is at. He chose this screen name for some game that I ended up playing for him. So... it just stuck around since then.

    I picked a name from a song that I was listening to at the time I registered.

    I joined at about 11:30pm because I needed someone to talk to. The mlp stands for Michigan's lower peninsula because it where I'm from, I didn't think too hard about my name when I joined because I didn't expect to stay as long as I have. :slight_smile:

    My original username was NowakiK. Nowaki Kasuma is one of my favorite characters from a yaoi series called Junjou Romantica.

    But then one day, I felt like changing it, so I browsed through my handy dandy Latin dictionary and stumbled upon hiems, hiemis, the nominative and genitive forms (respectively) of "winter". So I picked the nominative form since it sounded nice to me.

    Color + cloth object is what I go by everywhere else on the interwebz. I couldn't use that name so I picked a different color and object. It was very spur of the moment. I'll probably change it when I think of something better.

    Well, I was formerly thecat06, but I wanted to incorporate my name into my username somehow. I first thought about just changing it to Brad, but that name was taken. So, then I decided to keep the cat in my username, and my name ended up as BradTheCat.

    Ghost=Jon Snow's direwolf. 93: my birth year.

    I was originally going to make my username a variation of my actual name (which is Josh), but I looked around the site and noticed a trend in making names related to fictional characters so I ended up changing my mind.

    I thought you named yourself after Niko Bellic from GTA IV.

    Opheliac is an album by Emilie Autumn. I was obsessed with it when I made my username, because I had just rediscovered it :grin:

    I like wolves because they stay in a pack and don't leave one another( I tend to push people away). Also when humans approach them they are scared-I am sort of frightened of closeness with people so waahllllaaaa. Sounded like me in a way of how I am and what I would like to become-less afraid, more willing to accept love etc.

    I'm the self-proclaimed queen of anime. I've seen 400+ different animes and keep a list of it. Also, 567 is part of my favorite number. For the record, my favorite number is 567,668 (it's a long story), but it wouldn't fit.

    It was my username for my online portal in college so it's something easy to remember.

    Story Jinx is the nick name I use everywhere on the internet.
    Comes from The Story, which is one of my favorite song, and Jinx, my main LoL character.
