And now i am very interested what your Real name is 
Propably Pa3sha - you got it? Pa - three - sha 
So like Patricia just with “3”. And because this is nothing similar to C8die it makes no sence.

My name evolved over time, but my very first Internet nickname was “HeavyMetalDeathMan”, because well… that badass isnt it 
and what does a 10 year old more wants to be badass xD
That were the Battlefield 2 times, that is a looong time ago. (even thou pretty young i already was mostly into rock/metal/punk so at least it had some kind of background value)
This one evolved to HeavyMetalMan, which is still used in some scenarios where “Heavy” already was taken. And since a few years i just use “Heavy” when possible, i also have some secondary nicknames, because sadly if i am not super early on Video games/forum’s and stuff ist taken most of the time >.<. I’m glad im soo early here in Last Epoch.
Also some fun fact’s, even thou it started as a “Internet Nickname” it slowly over time became a real nickname for me, im still very much into metal/rock/punk and i even have a Name Sign (Similar to Military Name Signs on Uniform) on my patched vest.

I’ve always liked the constellation Orion and now that NASA is working on the Orion spacecraft, that really made me smile. The Alliance part, I was thinking about how our family and friends are like an alliance. Good or bad, we band together and help one another. Hence… OrionAlliance. Not as funny or cool of a reason as a lot of other here.

And Master of Orion (1 & 2, not 3, though 3’s story was good) was awesome.

off topic.
Master of orion II Battle of Antares was my favorite game for many many years!!!
I was one of the few that was split between 1 & 2. And as a fully accredited spreadsheet-warrior, #3 was very disappointing & un-fun.

Played MOO3 20-30 mins and uninstalled it…
Moo1 was great, 2 was FANTASTIC, after that chaos.
Only Sins of a Solar empire Rebellion from ALL the 4X space games i have played are close to what i like, especially in combat.
Mine kind of evolved from my real life name which is Toby. Around the time of the Harry Potter books getting popular a friend started calling me Dobby as a nickname and at some point that evolved into Dobster/Dobs and it’s stuck ever since. I’m still known as Dobs by all my RL friends and tbh I quite like it:)
I’ve been using it since the days of Sacred closed HC which is still my favourite online game to date. I’m hoping LE can change that.

Well my RL name is basically a pet dogs name so it comes down to whether I prefer being a dog or a House Elf 
Yeah, it’s the (almost the) same (but less pretentious) as my eldest brother-in-law.
Oh buddy, no friends in RL? I feel so sorry. But we could pretend to be friends. I also could call you by your proper name (isn’t it Liam?)… 
No, I’m not really a people person, why do you think I became an accountant?
Fake it till you make it…
And no, that’s not my real name.
Thank you. Nostalgia for sure. However, I’m not smart enough to be in IT.

There was a book about a bunch of REAAAAALLY horny fairies, and one of them had this name and I really liked the name, so I started using it online.

Alot of People which i encounter, atleast if they know Japanese Games, often tend to think my Name comes from Lightning the Protagonist of Final Fantasy XIII, and while it’s a bit of a irony because i like that Character really, it’s more of a coincidence due my Nickname is older than that.
Do you guys know Foren RP (Roleplay)? It reminds a bit of classic Pen & Paper RPG’s where a Lore, Story and Rules exist, every participant creates a Character and than you start playing together (though normally there isn’t really a Game-Master. The Creator of the Story migt overlook sometimes if the players stick to the rules, but in general the players leads the Story).
We had one RP which was centered arround Japan, and you had a element / superpower and mine was Lightning, and that’s why i nicknamed my Character “Yuudai” with LightningYu. And at some Point, when i didn’t like my old nickname, i started to use LightningYu (or TheLightningYu) as my Nickname and never changed it since then.
So for everyone TL,DR it’s a weeb name…
