Before I was Breach I was Mr. 1 Beer in my Counter Strike phase a long time ago, which started at some party where I had one beer and did something to get one of my friends to go "Yeah ok there Mr. 1 Beer", and somehow that stuck.

I changed it to Breach later on, which reflects my play style more :D I tried to change it again recently to Drednaut, but everyone on my home clan TF2 server kept calling me Breach so I just stuck with that in the end.

In my gaming career I've been Vlakorados, Only Human, [PoopShoot] Maximus (weird little clan of my friends for a while), Mr. 1 Beer, now Breach, and a few I can't even remember now I'm sure,.

Well my name is a composition of different names I have used before.

MecHenNIac consists of
-my old gamingtag: McHenNAx
-my affinity towards videogames: Maniac
-my battlefield playstyle as support/medic and engineer, therefor: Mechanic

So i combined these three to:

MecHenNIac

Online, like Xbox Live I am known as DC Catapult. I got it from the Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries intro. Lame, isn't it?
When I made my Death Knight on WoW, I was called Akemitis, but everyone kept pronouncing it wrong.
I choose Brenden because I thought it was a nice Mercenary name.

I usually use silly rhymes or silly combinations of words, like fancy pants. one time fancypants was already taken, and so was phonybologna, so phonibologna was born. (I think Oscar Meyer was involved at one point.) "the one and only, not quite bologna"

My name is a play on the word 'effigy', I have a wordy humour.
I also enjoy stone and metallic sculpture of cool things (no boring stuff) =)
Good example:

I think the first time I used it was in Planetside 1.

Feyd is the name of my most recent TT Mechwarrior character. Feyd (the TT one) is currently in a clan campaign gearing up for the invasion of the Inner Sphere (Clan Snow Raven).

Before anyone here makes the reference, YES, the name was lifted from one of my favorite movies of all time...Dune. Feyd Rautha was the Harkonnen warrior played by Sting.

A couple of inconsiderate trolls took the names that I usually use online. So I went to the English/Japanese online dictionary. I think it means common cold.

Kazzen is a name I came up with a long while back when I first started playing WoW and has been carried on to other games even now long after i've left WoW. As for the Outlaw title, i've generally built up a reputation for being one in many roleplaying games -.-

Whatever I did, I swear I didn't do it for fee!

I got my nick from work. Years ago I did collections and repossessions for a jewelry store chain. I had three accounts that died in a weeks time. The first was a man involved is drugs had a knock on the door and was killed with a shot gun by a rival dealer. The second was a man who died from Carbonmonixide (How ever you spell it) it does not make for a good nights rest. Last was a man talking on his cell phone to his boss who complained about a bee sting and was found the next day dead from anaphylactic shock. They started calling me The Hand of Death what can I say they took the long dirt nap and I had an alibi

Reposting this from MW:LL

Initially the nickname KitLightning was taken from a comic character I did with a friend back in the 90's, it didn't last long before we dumped that silly stunt.

SuperName: Kit Lightning
SecretID: Arnoll White
Age: 15
Height: 1,50m
Weight: 38kg
Powers: Runs like Lightning *doh*, creating several sound barrers which shatters every window in his path. Can exceed the speed of upto 200.000km/h to near light speed.
Can shoot electrical charges of lightning bolts or streams against targets.
Drawback: He often bumps into the streets cornes or bypassing cars. Has a very very bad hearing. Cannot function outside the grid, he simply runs dry of energy.

Origin: Arnoll White, alias Kit Lightning, son of Brad and Bimbo White, lives in Silicon City on Cartridge Street #17 (the number comes from Enki Bilal's "Exterminator 17"). At a time Arnoll was sitting and playing on his newly aquired precious toy, the sausage U64 which had an immense amount of 64k memory (wow). A day Arnoll trolled onward playing his favoured game, Sonic The Hedgehog 3000, all immersed in the game (mmost likely sitting and fantasicing he was the Hedgehog) he didn't notice that a storm had begun outside . The storm came closer and became more ferosious each second and suddenly a lightning was sticking right into the electrical discharger of the house, going directly down into the U64 and onwards into Arnoll, resulting in his super duper powers...

Later this character was turned into the RP character Martin "Kit" Wyld for BattleTech. And yes you guessed it, he's a descendant of the sane Wyld family, who formed the Wyld Jokers after Geoff “Crazyman” Wyld ;D

I have been a follower of Battletech/Mechwarrior for a long time(Since it first came out on the SuperNes). Durring the days when they still made the Battletech cards most of my close neigborhood friends played the game. Having a big rivalry between my best friend playing clan Wolf (his favorite) and me playing my favorite faction/clan (smoke Jaguar). I loved them since they had the largest most bada$$ mechs...the Daishi. Minus the Widowmaker; thats Wolf. Thats how Chose the second half. The fist part (Kay) I got from a school friend back in Junior Highschool called me "k" since my 1st name is Caleb.

I made this when I was still using Swilly, and apparently that was already taken.

So I would use 'TheRealSwilly'.

Now I just use my last name but I'm not allowed to change it.
