    InspectorAlpaca

    What it stands for:
    I suppose it stands for Javert from Les Mis and my love of alpacas

    How it came to be:

    I was actually Inspector something else and then InspectorAlpacaSatan but cut off Satan for twitter and then the Satan just left in general because the joke was over and InspectorAlpaca was much cooler on its own.

    Meaning of life?:
    Hmm, I think it's to do what you love and just like love what you're doing and live in the best way you can and want to.

    Dark Severance

    What it stands for:
    The action of separating, dismissing, removing the darkness within one's person.

    How it came to be:

    It initially was the nickname for a roleplay character that became a nemesis for another character. It was a representation of the yin and yang of a person. The darkness was separated from him creating two people. One who for the most part was good, with no evil within. Dark Severance was all the darkness and evil that the other contained, however there was just a spec of good left in him. Although darkness he had a fatal flaw that he could never lie. Thus no matter how dark someone is, there is always something that was a spark of light.

    Vanthu

    What it stands for:
    The name of my first story, and the nickname of the main character.

    How it came to be:
    I couldn't think of a good username, so I just thought since this was for writing, so I just used Vanthu.

    Elven Candy:

    What it stands for:
    Candy made by elves, I guess.

    How it came to be:
    I played an online multiplayer game by another name. I got really tired of that name, so I decided to change it. I'm terrible at coming up with names, especially names I'll remember and that have to represent me for years to come, so I figured, "I've always liked elves, and I've always liked candy. Why not combine them?" Voila! Elven Candy was born.

    Meaning of life:
    I can't swim well enough to get into a discussion that deep.

    Cnayur (with that silent C)

    What it stands for / How it came about:
    Those two are somewhat intertwined. The name doesn't stand for anything really - it's just that: a name. It came about when I needed a new online handle because my old one was beginning to grow stale on me. At the time, I was reading Bakker's "The Darkness That Comes Before" and that novel has a character by the name of Cnaïur Urs Skiotha (IIRC). Changed the spelling slightly, et voilà! :)

    Meaning of life:
    To make the most of it, using whatever skills you have.

    @Cnayur

    That's funny, because your name made me think of Cnaiur, from The Darkness that Came Before, but I thought "Nah, no one else here has read that."

    Well, I have. :) I've read the entire trilogy to boot. We must discuss it sometime. ;)

    Meaning:
    Probably roman or something like that. I don't really care about the meaning.

    How it came to be:
    When I first started becoming active on forums, I was watching a lot of old Doctor Who, and I liked both the character Romana and the name, so I stole it to use as my internet moniker, and I've kept it ever since.

    LinnyV

    What it stands for:
    Variant of my real name + random letter

    How it came to be:
    Last ID I used was LinnyX; I'm very boring. One day, I found another LinnyX account and she had some crappy, creepy, mean spirited message on her home page. It was time to randomly generate a new letter.

    Meaning of life:
    I was hoping someone on this fourm would have the answer. You mean to tell me that with over 47 thousand members, no one has figured it out?!

    Why am I here?!?!

    What it stands for:
    Ulrik Greenhill Ridley.

    How it came to be:
    I've wanted to move to America since I was like twelve, so since then I've dabbled with a bunch of names, and this is just the current one. I chose Ulrik because it's also a Norwegian name, Greenhill because it is the English translation for my real last name, and Ridley because I thought it sounded cool. Then I use the initials rather than the full name because it makes me sound like a fancy-ass author and stuff, hehe.

    Meaning of life:
    I believe that would be pizza.

    Guess it's somebody who burns symbols into things.

    How it came to be:
    Not sure. I'm a pyrophile and I like writing… so… probably need to invent a mini-flamethrower pen.

    Pre-order your Pyrobiros now folks, get them while they're hot!

    Meaning of life?:
    Erm, sharp corners are better than loft insulation.
