Welcome to Gaia! ::

Obviously people on gaia don't user their real names. Most use names based off anime, or game characters, some of us don't. For those of us that don't, reveal where you got your username from.

My username came from wanting a unique name I could use for whatever. A gamertag if you will. If someone heard that name, they thought of me. So I pondered. At one point I was watching Witch Hunter Robin on [as] and I thought I heard one of the characters being called "Gunn"(later I found out I just hadn't been paying enough attention, and misheard). I thought Gunn would be a good name, but it'd be used quite a bit. As a surname it would work well. I went to work on thinking up a unique first name for my internet persona, and somehow came up with the name "Vieras" however I was thinking more of the pronunciation Veras at the time. Rather than confuse people, I used Veras. Thusly the name Veras Gunn came into being. I use if for just about anything now. Do a Google search for "Veras Gunn", and every result you get will be tied to me.

I originally wanted to be El Cid or Syd (Syd Barret mind you), but some lass or lad took it. So I used my first name 'Chester' and chucked Sydel on it. Name stuck, but I still want to be El Syd/Cid...

Short a sweet...

Gaughan is my surname.

I wanted too use a name from my favorite game.
Considering that most names of the main characters weir probably taken I tried important NPC characters.
I liked the name Zeal and it was from my favorite time pewriod so I used it.
But then I got tired of the Brackets and changed it too Queen Zeal.
So thats how the name for this account came to be.
My persona name for all other sites is Spekkio. Always Spekkio if it isn't used. I think that name fits me more so...
I consider changing my username again.

I recently took to naming my characters and screen names after German WWII weapons and machines.

A Flakpanzer is exactly what it sounds like, if you know minimal WWII machinery. A flak gun is an AA cannon that often came into use as a field gun, and panzer is the general term referring to German tanks. It means "armor" in German.

Faust is from Panzerfaust, a German anti-armor weapon, the German equivalent of the bazooka. It was actually one of the most ingenious weapons of the war, and was intended to kill the crew sooner than destroy the vehicle. When it hit it's target, it exploded, but also fired a large metal rod into the cockpit, which bounced around inside, often killing the crew and leaving the tank itself intact.

my name requires a slight history lesson in relation to Anime

when Vampire Hunter D was first released they mistranslated "Dunpeal" and "Dhampir"

my name is a romanized version of "dhampir" resulting in "Dampylle" which ironically is closer to the true translation of "Dunpeal"

and the reason for it all.... VHD is among my favorite anime and novel series, adn Amano is among my favorite Artists

It was a Friday night, back in 19-something. Me and my brothers were playing a wrestling game, where we made our own characters and had to make up names for them. They had names like "Outlaw", and "Unknown". I chose "Darkness". And ever since, I've been using it in everything. So here on Gaia, this one is Final Darkness (well, Omega now.)

I also got a little creative, and made up a new name if all else fails, De Espirit (which is usually pronounced wrong). I also noticed something something scary about this name. Even though it's completely made up, it's really similar to the word dispirit, which means to lower one's spirits and hopes.
