Explain your user name

It's a boring story, and I think I've told it before. And it's stuck so long that calling myself by anything else would feel wrong.

Mine's boring. I really liked the Ranger X Genesis game back in the day.. when I signed up for TNL (after lurking invisbily for months), I picked the Japanese name of the game. Mainly because I couldn't think of anything better at the time. :)

FPM = Fantastic Plastic Machine - one of my favorite musical artists.

When I was trying to sign up for Seganet to play NFL2K1, the name Goose was taken. That's what my friends called me in High School and no it has nothing to do with Top Gun.


After several feeble tries at coming up with a name that was'nt taken, I decided to use Gamevet, to describe myself as a long time gamer. It's nothing great, but I use the name just about everywhere I post or play.

The only place I don't use the name, is with Star Wars:Galaxies, as I felt I needed to have a character with a better name than that.

first name was
five iron frenzy-my favorite band,when i realized i was doing them more harm then good with my argumentative nature, i switched to
Gongos- from dragon force, he lead a goup of werewolf wannabees, and had the kind of simple, uncivilized goodness that i would like to pretend i exhibit, rough edges and good deeds. The final name, after i got violently sick of gongos was

Frostwolf-and later i added ex after i was having trouble logging on. Frostwolf came from pso.I started as a force, but in v1 forces were pretty underpowered,and i am very aggressive, so i switched to a blue hucast. so i combined his color-blue, which reminded me of ice, or frost, with his robot warrior self,as a total aggressive combat character, agressive like a wolf. frostwolf sounded cool, and soon that was what i called my guy in morrowind(an aragonian paladin) and lately, my guy in star wars:kotor(frostwolf neverine), so its kind of a unified personality thing.

There is honestly no good explanation for my nick. I started using it back in '94 when some buddies and I ran a local BBS (with the marvelous name of Marmosets in Cambodia :) )... I just thought of the name bob at random and decided since it was a bbs I should be bbobb... and I've had the nick ever since.

I didn't first get internet access until fall of '99, and at the time I was playing through Chrono Trigger for the 5th or 6th time. Omegaflare is one of those "secret" Triple-techs you get by equipping the colored rocks. I've always liked those nuclear-based spells/skills in Squaresoft games.

The X was added... um, I dunno why, probably because I'm a dork and adding "X" to things makes it sound cooler (and sci-fi-ish). The F didn't used to be capitilized, but the people at my old community called me "OFX", so I figured I might as well.

There's another "OmegaflareX" out there... one of his (or her?) friends IMed me once. I bet his AIM name is "OmegaflareX1". *points* Ha-ha!

If you've seen Hayao Miyazaki's film, Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi, or Spirited Away as it's more well-known as in english speaking territories, you've seen the character NoFace. I took a liking to it's design and the character itself, and the name has stuck for the past few years. Sometimes I feel the name might be a bit too odd for me, but it feels at least somewhat unique, and so it stays.

Here's the original Mr. NoFace trying to bribe Chihiro (which is apparently the only picture Google knows of):

SapphirePhoenix used to be SapphirePhoenixM. Sapphire came from the fact that my birthstone is the sapphire, I love the colour blue, and at that time I was also wearing blue contacts by the product color name Sapphire (picked on purpose because of the name). Later on, my college nick was Sapphire (because of the contacts, SapphirePhoenixM was my AIM SN, and because I used that name on the radio sex-talk show I co-hosted). Phoenix would come from my infatuation with the Uncanny Xmen's Phoenix a. k. a. Jean Grey possessed. I don't really LIKE Jean Grey (she's too goody-two shoes), but I love Phoenix and Dark Phoenix. And in those personas I actually dig her alot. I like the continuous struggle she has to go through (to keep her own identity, to deal with the unlimited cosmic power she HAS and embodies, trying to protect her friends from herself, etc.) She's an inherently good person that has to battle such unimaginably strong forces that are contrary to her nature. She develops so much character wise, as she has to come to grips with the way that she becomes and finally IS what she most tries to not be. I...in my own weird way, identify with her. Oh, and the phoenix being a symbol of rebirth and constant renewal, I also chose it for that. And finally, the M used to be a handle (girly handle by the way of MoonJewel), when I used to play Dark Ages and Elemental Saga. And there you go, the longest screenname/handle in the WORLD - SapphirePhoenixM(oonJewel) :sweat:!!!

*Extra tidbit* - Xonpeih Srlsue, since someone thought I was foreign (because of the way it's spelled)....is simply Phoenix Rules :D.

I don't know. I just made it up.
