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.

willbethenight - A riff on the iconic quote early on in The Animated Series: "I am vengeance! I am the night! I! AM! BATMAN!" But Bruce isn't quite there yet.

iwishiwasbig - I spent a long time searching for something for Dave when I found the perfect thing at the end of one of my favorite episodes, "Arcade." An arcade game in the hallway that was taunting Dave the whole episode was finally removed just as he was about to give into his addiction to it. It was replaced by a fortune teller machine. So the tiny Dave, remembering the Tom Hanks movie Big, put in a quarter and said, "I wish I was big." Nothing happened to him, though. Poor Dave.

cataclysmicluck - Early on in the comic, the defining quote for Zayne came from himself: "My luck ranges from barely tolerable to cataclysmic. Master Lucien says I'm proof the Force has a sense of humor!" It was a good enough summation of how his life went at that point. Now that he understands that his luck is just a byproduct of a disability he has as a Force user, I could probably change it. But it's appropriate enough that it's not worth the $15, and it took me several names before eventually settling in on this in the first place anyway.

emoclops - It's the emo-est version of Cyclops outside of the Wolverine & the X-Men cartoon, which didn't even exist when I first made this journal.

bluth_illusions - GOB's last name plus the things he does (besides whores). I'm CREATIVE.

...so THAT'S what Dave's username is a reference to. I totes never got that. NOW I GET WHY THE QUOTE IS FUNNY.
