Nice try, you're not fooling anyone.

Based on observations and from personal experience, there are phases in a person that determines their weeb level.

Everyone that goes through these phase starts off as a normie, then their interest in the otaco/japanese culture drastically increases to where they can be identified as an otaku. Usually, this would be the peek in their otaco phase and said interest would go down slightly over time.The difference between weebs and otacos is that weebs would skyrocket exponentially to the point where they are speaking broken Japanese in daily life, wanting to go to Japan with the belief of it being the anime land heaven, you know, the usual weeb stuff (Suggested video: Weeaboos by Filthy Frank)

[William Mountbank]

I just wanted an Inner Sphere, chivalric, roleplay type name. Also Mountebank is a medieval word for "a bit of a Richard."

Edited for Richards.

I am Terciel.

Seriously, though, it's the given name of the character first known as Abhorsen in Garth Nix's Old Kingdom series. Only mentioned a couple times. Pleasantly obscure reference to books I love and I like the way it sounds. It also amuses me to no end that as verbose a guy as I am my teammates call me "terse."

$100, 100M CB or 25,000MC for the head of the guy who has the proper spelling and doesn't play (mine ends in a capital "i."

I always thought you just misspelled one of these....

[Lyoto Machida]

Japanese name but I don't watch any anime. Namesake is one of my favorite fighters who is half Japanese from Brazil. Decided I was going Kurita when I started MWO and his nickname is "The Dragon" so it was perfect. Even the Dragon mech fits his style...he mostly competed as a smaller guy in the light heavyweight division and the DRG is a small, mobile heavy. A shame that the DRG doesn't have that KO power in MWO but that's a story for another time.

The guy has one of the best highlight reels in history and embodies the old school martial artist philosophy in MMA. He singlehandedly proved that traditional martial arts (Karate) could still have a place in modern MMA with his run to the title.

I mean...he literally Karate Kid crane kicked Randy Couture into retirement:

Lol. No. "I AM NOT A TOYOTA!!!" may have been yelled a few times.

[Pariah Devalis]

Both loved the lore and the looks of Necron Pariahs. Further, I've become accustomed to functioning alone, either by choice, by force, or by circumstance, so the Indian take of pariah, as an outsider, suits me just fine. Devalis, on the other hand, is a Nova Cat blood name I earned back in the day. If aerospace fighters were a thing in the mechwarrior series, I would likely be known as Pariah Bavros, however. In lore wise, I reconcile this as being from mixed Devalis-Bavros stock, designed to try and mix the best aspects of mechwarrior and aerospace pilot traits.

[jss78]

My username is an eternal monument to my lack of imagination. This one evening in Feb 2015 I decided I want to give MWO a shot. Couldn't think of a cool in-universe name, so I tried putting in my initials. That was taken, so I added my year of birth.

(So what about you OP? I'm a geologist by day job, and I wonder if you're too.)

[Aleski]

My name is a sort of deformation of my IRL name (Alexis). In fact, when i was a young child, i have trouble to pronouce things right, and i was telling my name like this "Aleski". So my family members call me that way when they want to bother me, even today... Sigh at 26 years old it's really a long time joke !!

When i start to play PC games with my father, he was always calling me with that nickname, so i keep it for multiplayer games. Also, on the VOIP, when someone call my name, i instantly recognize it because it's close to my real name. And when english isn't your native language, it sort of help in the heat of battle.

Well it's really not a lore name or original, ha ha ha !!! But it's funny to hear foreign people pronounce your nick name with their accent in drop !

I have a master 2 degree in geology (hydrochemistry and hydrology in fact). Always nice to see someone who work on the sciences of the Earth o7

Psh nerd, as if i need an extensive background to my account name..

wish I had focused more back when it mattered, instead of getting distracted. But being an eco-terrorist was a lot more instant gratification than actually getting my degree in marine biology, etc. Well, that and being un-diagnosed autistic, so getting away from the crowd, noise, social crap of school as soon as possible, seemed rather more pressing.

Now I have the regrets of having the practical skill set to work in most underwater fields, but no paper trail to get in the door, in the first place.

[Cabusha3]

I used to play a Russian Dwarf in D&D 3.5. After playing with some sounds I ended up with Cabushka for the name. Few years go by, and one typo later, I accidentally registered as Cabusha at a gaming forum using my then only email account. Couldn't get it changed (early internet) so I ran with it. Now I use it pretty much everywhere for gaming. Generally gets shortened to "Cab" by my TS buddies.

[SuomiWarder]

Played WM4 as "Warder" for years, "Warders" was the unit name of my old B Tech fanfic back on DropShip Command. Someone managed to grab "warder" before me in closed beta so I added the Finn part Suomi as my ancestry is Finnish. Plus it was the name of the planet my fictional B Tech unit was from.

[ExplicitContent]

I didn't know what this community would be like when I started and wanted to prepare them for the onslaught of profanity in the event this was COD-esque. Turns out its not and I am pretty mild with the language, so it is kind of ironic now.

[ShiftySWP and the Pleated Pants]

My name is actually an optical illusion, it's the pattern of the pants.....

[Fox With A Shotgun]

I drive Kit Foxes. I like shoving SRMs up unsuspecting assaults' rear CTs. SRMs are 'Mech buckshot.

...Does my name make sense now?

[Levi Porphyrogenitus]

Levi is the Apostle/Evangelist Matthew's alternate name, and Porphyrogenitus is the title of a Roman Emperor's son (one who is born in the purple, meaning literally the Purple Room of the imperial palace in Constantinople). As an enthusiastic amateur byzantinist, Orthodox Christian, and Matthew, this seemed like an excellent fit. It's also rather unique and is easy to shorten for voice comms use (Levi, Porph, and the like).

[FuhNuGi]

FuhNuGi

Is

The

Frakkin New Guy (or something real close to it)

Been using this name or variants of it on accounts and alts since Star Wars Galaxies (Naritus), Warcraft (Lightninghoof, level 60 was the cap), Xbox... a few others too. I usually do not have a problem with the name being taken.

It is the name you get when you come in from outside of a unit and start running the division, but have too much experience to be confused with a butterbar or a rook.

[Vellron2005]

My nickname means "Bearer of power" in an SF novel I'm writing. It is a translation of the meaning from a now-extinct alien language.

It's actually about 20 years old, since I started to conceptualize the novel's setting when I was a kid..

I use the same nickname for all SF videogames..

[Steelmesh]

My name is derived from a D&D 4ED Warforged character.. It was a robot with a "soul", so Steelmesh seemed appropriate..
