Meme: What's In A Name?

[ancientbschamp.livejournal.com]

Looks like we did this one last in June, and with new characters, why not do it again?

It's really simple (which is nice if you're still recovering from a holiday weekend like I am) and goes like this:

Tell us about your character's LJ name, what it means and how you decided on it?

Bonus points for the username stories of your past characters too. Okay, I can't really give bonus points but pretend you get 'em for this.

That's all. See? Easy.

time_flyer_5 - Oh god, least creative username ever, and not even accurate but I can't be bothered to change it. Jen Scotts is a Time Force Power Ranger, and instead of the usual Power Ranger Zord schtick of giant robotic animals or vehicles, the TF Rangers have these jets that are actually the Time Fliers. Also Jen's is #4, not #5, because Red Ranger Wes gets to be all ~special~ and get the Time Jet instead. Never mind that Jen's technically the leader. Sigh. This username actually makes me sigh a lot because of that.

cantgetnorelief - When I first started playing Anders in the very first week of the game, his username was futurebucs_star, a reference to his canon future as a star Pyramid player with the Caprica Buccaneers. That was when I thought he was human.

Then Shanie got jossed mightily upon discovering Anders was actually a Cylon, as you could tell because the Final Five Cylons could all hear "All Along the Watchtower" in their heads, and learned a Very Important Lesson about playing from open canons.

Then Shanie discovered that not only was Anders a Cylon, but he in fact wrote "All Along the Watchtower" and is therefore Bob Dylan.

Therefore changing his username to a lyric from AAtW seemed like an imperative thing to do, and do you have any idea how hard it was to find one that wasn't already taken and fit within character limits? Luckily this one (which sorta alludes to how he's a total canon angst-puppy and was one while he was a student at FH too) wasn't taken. And also has vaguely dirty implications, and don't even think that didn't factor into the decision.

Phoebe will snuggle her angst puppy anytime he wants it! :D
