Posted July 15 2013 - 08:27 AM

My name i took for the reason of always beeing alone in battles in other games. So it kindda stuck in my mind. When i saw this game i wanted a name that would best represent the feeling in a mech alone in the city not knowing where the enemy is.... But hunting them down too. Then i remembered the wolf are great pack hunters so there it is.
meet death with both eyes open.....and a fist full of hell-fires...Long live the Rocketeer ©>~}~~~

quite some years ago i once found "STYX" by accident and later learned that its a bunch of things:

1. The river in hell is called STYX, where Charon is guiding souls to the other side, given they can provide an obulus
2. SS-N-2 Styx, NATO reporting name for the Soviet P-15 Termit missile
3. 5th moon of Pluto
4. Also, even if its not stated in the wiki, im quite sure to have read somewhere "STYX" can also be used as a synonym for negative emotions like pain, hatred, fear and the like

since i got something for things like this (especially for 1 and 4) i've been using it ever since for any username. usually it's sadly been taken already, so its often --STYX--, STYX25, STYX1337 and so forth.

But also these guys. Your callsign was definitely grabbed by one of them...

Llamas. That is all.

Never seen it myself...

Three Twenty (not sure if this is season two) episodes in, priceless.

Hideyoshi has an odd voice though...

I've always enjoyed Star Wars: Rogue Squadron.
So when I had to come up with a "callsign", Star Wars immediately came to mind.

Red Five is the callsign of Luke Skywalker during A New Hope and so I took it as my own.

...come to think of it, the Technician looks an awful lot like R2-D2, the astromech droid.

Rogrym is the name of my very first Pathfinder character that I've completed a campaign with. His full name was Rogrym Mushrondor a level 9 (by the time we ended) dwarf ranger who was part of a wilderness hunting unit in the dwarf military of a large dwarven capital. His main feature was being able to use customizable bolts (alchemist fire, water, acid, etc) with a large crossbow that had a 120' range.

Mine is from the Horus Heresy lore. Sadly all the major names seem taken. So I went with a lesser known character. Same issue in Path of Exile. Never find the names I truly want :(

Back in 1995 my brother and me decided to open a ISP (internet service provider). We ended up with 5 cities. I was already a gamer by that time and people were adapting nicknames or what we call handles. I thought that being on the leading group of opening a ISP was a pretty innovative idea. Not a lot of them then. I got to playing with ways of using letters to spell things and came up with Nov8tr. It is pronounced INNOVATOR. I started using it in games in 1995 and then on the web in games. Since then thousands of people have copied my handle. There was even a guy who named his race car after it about 10 years ago. Even if I have many names in games, one of them is always Nov8tr.

I did another funny one about 10 years ago. I made up a handle I used in Freelancer and EVE online. It was PeaceOutDude. But everyone called me POD. Those of you who remember POD was a band then and a Pod was what someone ended up in if someone killed them. So it was a play on several words/ideas. Oh and for those of you who fight me in game now know me as the 60 yr old f a r t, lol. Old f a r t is in the house! grin.

YEAH I'M REALLY A 60 YR OLD GAMER. MY CALLSIGN IS PRONOUNCED INNOVATOR!!
