It was right after a new version of the board came out (or after a move) and I was looking at email and a guy in the distribution list with me was named Bryce.

One of the main characters of Ann McCaffrey's Rowan books was named Jeff Raven...I've had it LONG before I knew of Flare/SFCR...

I think mine's pretty self explanitory. (Plus, say "Ultra Magnus" aloud. Sounds pretty cool, huh?)

Ultra Magnus - "Consistancy is Victory"

Ultra Magnus is all soldier. Most confortable when carrying out Optimus Prime's orders. Possesses magnificent Fighting skills, courage and a gift for battlefield improvisation. Uncomfortable in the mantle of leadership, but presents strong profile as commander. Carries missile launchers capable of hitting targets 30 miles away. Resolute, Fair, and Courageous beyond reproach. Ever ready to sacrifice himself for the good of the men and mission.

Strength: 9
Intelligence: 9
Speed: 6
Endurance: 8
Rank: 8
Firepower: 6
Skill: 8

always end up saying "Don't forget the big heavy eyebrows." Then they would all get embarrassed because they remembered they had the big hunky eyebrows too, and then they would get mad and eat the snowman.

My name is a B5 reference, although it would work better if The Vorlon posted more.

Any specific reason for those particular letters? Other than, of course, 'Litotes Over Australia'?

Mine comes from my days back moderating a Flyers chatroom (that's hockey for you non-Canadians) when I called everyone by their initials, cause it was easier to type. They thus called me by mine, thus DT was born.

Mine's pretty much self explanatory. It was the first thing that came to mind and I liked it, so that was that.

As the then, and now once again, only Scot on the board, I decided to pick a suitably Trekkish and yet Scottish name. And who better to borrow a name from than Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott?

Ah yes; all us Canadians are alike. How could I forget?

I had a website called Garak's Tailor Shop quite a while before I heard of the Enterforums, and I've always used the same name.

I like stars, I like eagles. Altair is the brightest star in the constellation Eagle. That's it

NightWing, my latest alias, is taken from the DC character which was known as Robin (from Batman). When Robin wanted to start on his own, he used the name Nightwing. (Nice to know is that it was also mentioned in the movie 'Batman Forever', where Robin wanted a name and said: "I need a name, Batboy, Nightwing..." but then they decided on Robin.)
