Origin of your Username/Handle ?

I think this is nice way to get familiar with each other a little more, for those of us who have frequented here and also new members. Please tell the origin, inspiration or story regarding your username or handle that you use on these forums. You don't really have to go in depth, but stories are always nice .

I'll start - Viserys

Let's see. Viserys is a character in one of George R.R. Martin's most famous novel series, A Song of Fire and Ice. For those who are not familiar, it is a fantasy novel (think medieval times) and each entry is pretty large, anywhere from 400 to 600 pages or more. Now that I think of it, I can't exactly remember the backstory on Viserys in George R.R. Martin's novel, but he inspired me in some way to adopt the name. First used the name or a variant of it Viseris as my GameFAQS username roughly, 7 or 8 years ago. The name somehow stuck.

Makes me want to go back and read George R.R. Martin's work, I never did purchase and read A Dance with Dragons, his fourth entry in the series. Neither did I watch the HBO series or play the game but they didn't interest me for some reason. Though I will most likely go back to the novel some time in the future.

It was how I randomly picked a character from my third favorite anime. I think it was my fourth at the time but I took off my previous favorite anime and it is now my favorite manga because I like the manga a lot more. I've since changed my name on the forum I had first used it on, but I still use it for other things such as MAL (My Anime List) and sites to upload images.


Anyway, the anime is Toaru Majutsu no Index (A Certain Magical Index), and the spin-off where she (and yes I'm a guy, and the "ko" almost automatically makes it a girl's name) is a main character, Toaru Kagaku no Railgun (A Certain Scientific Railgun).

I said I would probably change my username, and I did today.

So, my current username is based on the character Vita, from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, one of my favorite anime series. She doesn't appear until the second season, however.

And it's also based on the characters from the PSP games (which I own neither of), Material-D, Material-L and Material-S (they have real names now but this was all they were called in the first game).
