It has some really dumb and stupid origins

Sometime, during the early Doom Connector days (2005 i think?), stupid 14 year old me, thought it would be pretty funny to set my multiplayer name as "FuckerOfDoom" and at that moment i thought i was being clever and funny until i was chased by a moderator into a server room and he told me to either change my name or be banned, so in a hurry i changed it to "DoomMarine", a few weeks later i shortened it to "DMmarine". Since DMmarine was a very generic name, and because me and some friends we're talking about greek gods at the time, and because Phobos is the setting of knee deep in the dead in the original doom, DMmarine became DMPhobos, and i've stuck with it ever since.

I loved Colossal Cave Adventure growing up and made its magic word my username, as well as the nickname of the blue guy you see here.

The two numbers computers think in are only there because without them, I would have a username that is already taken. And no amount of case-sensitive-ness (?) can change that.

An older sister of mine was always a bitch, so we called her grouchbag. I thought it was funny, sooo there it is. My sister still has no sense of humor. I do. :)

I am pretty crappy with usernames and they may end up being pure cringe at times, but I like to have a special name.

Here I chose to have ShotgunDemolition as my name, because, surprise surprise, I love the shotgun in Doom.

I liked it, but it was a bit long. Then I changed it to ShoDemo, because a friend called me like that one day and I liked it more. Plus it doesn't sound as ridiculous.

I took lyrics from a David Bowie song.

 

"Mars happy nation, sit on my karma
Dame meditation, take me away"

 

Almost all of my usernames are tied to music in one way or another.

Hah! That would be awesome though if Linguica were to comment on here.

Isn't Gaia the personification of Earth?

My username was inspired by, well, as if my avatar didn't make it clear enough, the Toshinden series of games. Long long ago, I used to be 'the shinjo2002', but then IIRC, I forgot my password.

You know how I like nu metal and some of the bands have intentional misspellings?

There are only two people here on DoomWorld who know what "rdwpa" stands for to begin with, and something tells me it'll stay that way. ;-)

Yes, Gaea/Gaia is the personification of Earth in Classical Greek myth.

I was running around Wiktionary trying to find a possible masculine form of the word (Greek) and I stumbled across the most magnificent article on the site.

Now we just need someone to adopt the name Ouranos and our Classical Greek Primordial pantheon will be complete.

Off this site, on imgur, primarily, I have an older username of Monitor1863, which comes from the Battle of Hampton Roads on March 9, 1863 in the American Civil War, in which the ironclad vessel USS Monitor faced the former USS Merrimack, CSS Virginia at that time.
