I came up with “TheVulpesFox” when I was thinking of a new name for myself when Minecraft introduced the name change option (I have drifted away from minecraft now and play more fps games). I wanted something to do with Foxes because my last name is Fox and I think it sounds pretty cool.
I remembered back to science when I learned that “Vulpes” is the Latin word for Fox (basically), and that “Vulpes Vulpes” was the name for a red fox (if I recall correctly). So I changed one of the “Vulpes” to it’s English translation and thought it sounded cool.
And we all know that if you put “The” in font of your name it sounds way cooler.
Thus “TheVulpesFox” was born!

I was a dumb bored kid that found Ainsley Harriott and instead of just naming himself Ainsley Harriott, he named himself this.

Had a bunch of mates at TAFE and we came up with the idea to have similarly themed names. We decided to base it around bread for the sole reason that a made a bread related pun earlier that day. So we came up with StaticLoaf, DynamicToast, SynonymBuns, and PleasantWheat. I just run with Pleasant nowadays cus people kept calling me that. Also because skeleton detective (High five if you caught that reference)
WARNING: KILLER BREAD PUN INBOUND
We were walking to the local bakery to pick up lunch when my mate David spotted a bagged loaf of bread sitting behind the wheel of a truck, almost like a chock of some description. Obviously he had a giggle and pointed it out to the rest of us. “What the heck is that doing there?” he asked
Its just LOAFING around

I have two names: Xenithos and Vanilla~Fire.
[spoiler]The only reason my name is Xenithos on these forums, is because somehow when I signed up, the forums recognized my username and information from the official Nexon Combat Arms forums, or the Nexon Support forums. I was immediately given the name Xenithos, without the forum giving me a randomly generated name! I laughed so hard a week later when I realized that I had access to bbcode and other requirements and I only had 4 contribution points! I had my picture changed to this one at 20, and my old picture of an asteroid from the Nexon forums was the one I had until I could change it.
Also, I think I’m addicted to Nexon games. I play DB, Maplestory is a guilty pleasure that I check out from time to time. I play all of the new heroes until they’re level 50… 
, and I also play Legion of Heroes on the mobile tablet. (A LOT of LOH, I know, Ewwwww…)[/spoiler]
Xenithos was a combination of the words Zenith and ethos.
Zenith means prime, or more specifically: “the time at which something is most powerful or successful.” [spoiler]At the time, it was my third Combat Arms account, and I wanted my name to mean something more… The other two were Zenith_OSS (I like spykids3 a LOT at the time.) and Zenith_(i’ve forgotten by now). And NO, I didn’t make multiple accounts because of being banned or anything. I just kept getting screwed by hackers in CA, and one month they put out a new tool that actually better stopped them. So i remade my account, and literally all of my stats for my profile were much better. (went from a .4 kdr because of hackers that could kill you repeatedly 120+ times in a minute) to I think 1.8. There were still hackers abound, but thankfully, my third and final account was much closer to my actual abilities. I kept the name when I joined my first clan in different games after I moved on though, which is slightly why It stuck for so long. (5-6 years…?)[/spoiler]
Ethos means simply: Nature, or disposition. “The characteristic spirit of a culture, era, or community as manifested in its beliefs and aspirations.”
Thus, I am Naturally at my Prime. At the time I thought it was kinda cool, and this better name showed that I always strove to be my best, thus I was… But soon I didn’t like the sound of it… and it sounded somewhat egotistical, So I changed it.
Vanilla~Fire is a year old. I took my mother’s favorite ingredient, and a flavor that I find most pleasant, and combined it with bitterness. Fire. So, I am a sweet person, that can and will burn you.
[spoiler]Vanilla Ice don’t got NOTHING on me![/spoiler]

When I got a Playstation 3 for christmas and started creating a account, my first idea was ‘‘EpicFail’’ due to the fact that I’m horrible at videogames, but since it was taken I ended up with ‘‘FailJertsu’’ because ‘‘Jertsu’’ is a common nickname in Finland for guys named ‘‘Jere’’

I actually used this name for my second or third character in Guild Wars 2 (a now F2P MMORPG, It was better when everyone had to pay to play). A friend of mine had a cool-ass name that sounded a lot like the beginning of my first name. So I basically stole the beginning (Xyf) and added the word Furion (A spin-off of a robot character in GW2) to the end. Not very interesting, but it’s fun.

My first gamer tag was Trackboss as I did a shit tone of racing, then I became a rapper and started looking for rap names, I came up with
G E N E R I C which is now my freestyle rap name and gamer tag.
But my real rap name is Je$$eD with an Alter ego character of mine which is kinda funnier none political and offensive.
My inspiration for G E N E R I C came from G-Eazy. And my Jester alter ego is because a jester is an old fashioned clown from the middle ages and they were meant to be funny Guy’s.
Also I’ve always had something’s for Jesters.

In the Corps my nickname was Skittles because I bought a bag of the rainbow every day. I love to shoot things and make them go boom, I own a few rifles and rifle grenades… So, naturally I started telling people in games that my weapons shot rainbows, that I would make them taste the painbow, dreaming of reloading shells with skittle shot and knocking pheasant out of the sky with candy, etc. Pew pew pew!
I love guns and eating candy.
