I chose Fixit because in any kind of game I play that has a class system I choose the engineer of medic types, having the role of fixing problems. Plus I want to be an engineer when I grow up. I used to go by the name RedSimmons, after my favorite character in Red vs Blue. Probably still will name my pilot Gus Simmons. (Gus is the name of Simmon's voice actor)

Vexgrave Lars has been my callsign/character name since forever (Basic DnD, at age 10, I'm 40). I made it up, and it just stuck.

The 1RR is the regiment to which I belong, and due to contributions I have made to the regiment the ranking officers have decided that I am currently worthy of a rank of Major. That may change once we drop to planet and actually do some combat ;).

Anyway.. "Black Sheep", as in "Black Sheep Squadron". I nabbed it, and our commander "Pappy" liked it, so there ya go. I saw every episode of the Black Sheep Squadron when I was a kid, and loved the show. I still have a crush on the F4U Corsair, sexiest plane ever built.

I chose Recon, because I like Lamborghinis with cannons over lumbering buckets.

My name is uses the same bloodname as Sarah McEvedy the Khan of clan Wolverine(no I won't call it "clan not-named") during the trial of annihilation. I've always really liked Clan Wolverine because they stood up to Nicolas Kerensky and weren't afraid to take gazillion to one odds in a fight.

I've played Mech Warrior RPG during my time in high school and Deacon Tempest was the character name for my pilot.
I have had lot of fun and the name was very cool for me this time so i used it in some online games like BF2 and so on, too!

It is also my nick name during LAN-party with friends for at least 15 years, so the decision for this name was obvious!

Well, My Screen name is derived from inteli722 (my latest screenname) which of course means Intel i7 and the 22 is just for teh lulz. Inteli is what people call me in chat, and it sounded like a somewhat real name. Ironically, i run an AMD phenom II x4...

My screen name is the weapons chief from Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force. I loved the name, and recently, it has stuck.

As for my signature as it stands: It's lines from one of the songs of my fraternity (Phi Mu Alpha, if anyone cares. It's a US Music Fraternity).

Omega5-9er Recon Team. In a Mechwarrior 4 Vengeance mission you hear from some recon elements in the area. Omega4-9er and some others. I had gone by Omega as in an "Omega Wolf" or a solitary wolf before then, so I incorporated 5-9er in with my Original name.

Ghost Ronin because going way back to my clan days with Heavy Gear and such, my call name was always some basis of either Ronin or Revenant. Ashura was used as a japanese version of the same. Just like War Revenant, all following that same theme. Ghost in honor of the GhostHawks and Ronin as a throw back to my first call names. :P

Murku is a phonetic hat-tip to the Finnish word 'mörkö' which means Bugbear or Bogeyman. Something much more likely to sneak up and bite you on the hiney than face you in the clear....
