Many people usually guess syphilis, but I will spare you the guessing game. It came from mashing the words sapphire and fast together and changing up the vowels. It's also pronounced sigh-fist if you care about that.

oh the same case as Louis Cyphre ;)
but its Lucifer actually...

In the past i've used the Username 'Takie' a lot and it originated from me typing out random syllables from the names of different friends and later on it moved on to people calling me a hipster and literally someone calling me a very 'Tacky' person, so there it is.

The username came from the following:
1. Kagami Hiiragi
2. Yui HiRaSawa
As for why, it's meant to roughly resemble my personality of either... And the HRS initials is for a sake of space.

My original username and my name for most online games I play is Dazdalolz, which I just thought of myself. A friend on another game I play gave me the nickname Dazdy, so I decided to change my name to it.

I just randomly came up with it 2,5 years ago on a random night. It sounded "really fresh" when I was 15. Thanks, me.

I guess I originally started using it as my new musical project's name, too, when I drifted away from Hardcore, Breakcore and all that unmusical stuff into stuff like Liquid Funk and Chillstep and later Downtempo and Ambient. Really soon when I was thinking about a name in here after getting my first supporter tag, I thought HEY why not. That's better than using like 5 different names around the web, like I do nowadays, huh.

My original username on here, Hysere, was a mixture of my name and a friend's, and I changed it to Lewd because it's a word we say a lot.

My username originated from my 11 year old mind from 11 years ago and I've stuck with it everywhere I go. Just how much of a disturbed child was I to even come up with such a name? The world may never know. Oddly enough, it seems to be a common username for whatever reason (like seriously, type "Slasher" in the username search and tons of Slasher[#] names appear). I don't like numbers in names though, so on more populated sites I just tack on ZX to the end because those letter are rarely ever used.

...I need a username change at some point.

Was playing Mann vs Machine with 4 friends, while in queue for a few eons(It had just come out, so there were 15 minute queue times), I started changing me steam username to stupid stuff like Chuck Norris or Chicken Nugget, I eventually set it to Prime Number, realised that was actually waaay cooler than my current username at the time, and just stuck with it.

neji comes from naruto, eventhough i don't really like neji in the storyline, his name is absolutely amazing imo. but, i'd still prefer the japanese writing ネジ just looks better. and the the rset is just formality and intruduction.

You can probably guess it by now.

If you haven't, Billy is my real nickname and 96 is a shortened 1996, my year of birth.

A shortened form of what people usually call me on the internet. I got 'Kyo' when i was really young when i started playing Monster Hunter(Great Game, I recommend to everyone), so i stuck with it as it is actually kind of nostalgic to me.

When I was younger, I played "World of Padman" with one of my friends, and there was this secret OP weapon, the "Imperius". So then I was like "OMG, i'm such a l33t haxx0r", and yeah, now it's iMP3RiU5 ^_^

I think most people know where my name is from but for those who don't it's from Sword Art Online. Glad I read instead of watch :D

The name in my signature is what I use in most other games.
