The greatest twist in fiction of all time.
---

My own mind.

Wanted balrog which was taken so I added a 0 and tried again. I would have tried 1, 2, 3 etc if 0 hadn't worked

---

Shes the protagonist of the original Phantasy Star.

i picked it because when I was making my account, I didnt know what to name it. So I turned my head and realized I had Phantasy Star paused on my playstation

For a long time in video games I was using "Ultima____" as my handle, like "UltimaVyse" or "UltimaSquall".

I was making a character for The Secret World several years ago and you have to do a first name, Nickname (which is your display name) and last name for the character. I decided to try out something different, since I figured this sounded slightly more like a secret agent's type of handle than the other one.

And I've used it ever since. When I made other characters in TSW I just swapped out Herz with something else (like my character for the Dragon faction was Hecsenzwitraht)

Enchanted sword from a Diablo novel. StormFury was already taken so I had to improvise. Many years later when the account is released, I grabbed it but I've used this as my handle in almost all sites I registered so I never bothered to switch.

---

Real life nickname, shortening of last name.

I just wish i had capitalized it. Now it would feel weird to change.

---

my name and the fact I was bumping a lot of Rick Ross. and I assumed I wouldn't be allowed to have the name SlickDickRick, so I went the safe route

In middle school, I used to make up video game designs all the time, or come up with new features for existing ones.

For example, it was always weird to me that Snake goes the entire 19 hour mission in MGS1 without going to the bathroom, especially since there are actuap restrooms in the game, so I came up with the idea of adding a pee meter. Of course, in-universe this is thanks to nanomachines, but I liked the idea for the laughs of it anyway. It would be hidden, but you would know it was filling up because Snake would start having trouble aiming and standing still. Then you would empty it by going into a restroom. Oddly enough, it wasn't all that different an idea from the stamina meter in MGS3 lol.

But anyway, because I was always coming up with this stuff, my friends decided I would be a developer when I grew up, and started calling me Devsman, in reference both to that and my habit of calling everyone their first name with "man" attached like a superhero.

So that was my first account on GameFAQs, and I use it for lots of other stuff too. I had an alt named Devsguy too. Then I decided GameFAQs was stealing my life and closed both accounts. Well, that didn't last long, and less than a month later I opened this one. I borrowed the PascalCase from Java, and here weare.
