Eh, back in 2007, Hikari was one of the very few Japanese words that I knew, so yes, I used that as my internet name, be it in forums or games or RPs. It just stuck. When I joined SH and saw that nobody claimed the name yet, I took it. ^^

Rather banal but "Rift" was my favourite word when I was younger. It's kinda stuck and become convenient to just use it everywhere.

I'm of Italian heritage.  I love "The Godfather" and Ronnie James Dio, thus "Don Dio."

I'm a big Metal fan and my favourite bassists (Tomomi & Cathy@Choco) are fans of Mickey.

I went through a phase in middle school were story ideas I had come up with in the 5th grade somehow merged into my actual life, and I believed that I may have been possessed by an immortal and ultimately powerful demon that went by the name of, you guessed it, Darkath. The number 9 is my favorite number, and I later found out that what it symbolized was things that I particularly agreed with and felt it followed my beliefs. That solidified the usage of the number 9 in everything I used. Literally everything. So I've been using Darkath9 as a username for just about everything since around the time I first got into social media and gaming back around 2010. Before that, Darkath was simply my alter ego.

Kamex is the japanese name for Blastoise, my favourite pokemon  .clap.

Just stereotyping Mami. You know, a guitarist from Japan, hence Katana Guitarist. LOL

A harmless joke, I actually find her quite unique (as are all of them - Haruna, Tomomi and Rina as well).

I admit thinking to myself they all looked the same when I watched the first two clips, which were Shunkan Sentimental and Shojo S. With time though I learned their differences and now I know how profoundly different they are from each other.

Kuroki The Necromancer, manga character of Blazer Drive

"Gitaris Kamaran" (Bahasa Indonesia) ...... it has the same meaning with "bedroom guitarist" in english

I always use this nick in forums.

HitenMitsurugi is Kenshin's sword style from Rurouni Kenshin.

I always use Nero or variants of it as my nickname.

Nero is my favourite Roman Emperor, and it also means black in Italian which is my favourite colour. So two things I like in one nickname

It was random. Nothing special.

I was stationed on Okinawa for two years and came to love everything Asian. Also am a big Anime geek and Scandal and Stereopony fan. So Asianlover

Merlin is a nickname that my best friends call me and Ellis is sort of a different version of my middle name. Merlin Ellis has essentially become my pseudonym for a lot of things, not just a username. Its also the name that I'm planning to publish my books under when I finish writing them.
