I started browsing forums 5 years ago and at that time I only wanted one username so I thought real hard. I wanted a name that I would use repeatedly because I don't like having multiple names on different forums. At first, I thought about my personality, which I liked to wander around a lot in school during lunch then I remembered the game Xenogears. The name Wandering Youth was the alias used by the main character in the game. The main character's personality matches his alias and it matches me, so I decided to use it. It became "Wandering_Youth" instead of "Wandering Youth" because people got tired of typing out my name, which they later on called me (W_Y) (hey it looks like a face ).

Well Mantis is simply a reference to the second "family" I belong to.
And shadow has numerous origins. The first being that I always seem to operate in the shadows for some reason and the second is that it references two poems I really like. One poem could have been written about me and the other one makes me think, which is always interesting. |

Well, mine's pretty lame. My initials are AG, or AGJ if you add the second letter in my family name. I live in Norway, and the Norwegian armed forces use the Heckler & Koch G3 rifle, which they dub AG3. In Norwegian, saying "AGJ" rhymes with AG3, so... Of course, every Norwegian and his/her brother who has the initials AG finds having this nick extremely amusing. Just check out Gamespy....

144M Hyperion is the flagship of Admiral Yang Wenli, a famous Admiral in Legend of Galactic Heros. (This ship is known to be unsinkable )
Yeah ... I know the name is a bit too childish and lame, but somehow this name gives me some sort of luck |

My name before the restart was Keitaro, which was taken from the anime(you already know which ) Love Hina. I just took it because it sounded good and mainly because it was the first anime to watch . People began complaning about that is just had copied it from Love Hina( which i obviously had ) so I simply shortened it to Keit. And it dont know anyone under that name (do you?).

I got my nick from Final Fantasy 8's Laguna.. Actually I don't remember at all "why" did I choose this name .. I quess Laguna was just so cool character and all. Yes yes, it's very unoriginal and common nickname, but I don't really care. I've been thinking of changin my nick couple times, but the thing is that once chosen the nick is surprisingly hard to change .. especially when many your (close) friends get to know you as your nickname and you've been using same nick many years. Hehh, some my (maybe not so close) friends even call me at this name at street
