What Are the Origins Behind Your GT?

[CAG Archangel]

Well for 18 years I was known as Ice Man...and then Icey Baby as my swedish and Dutch chums used to call me.

But last year I felt it was no longer appropriate and wanted a more mature GT...something that was more me.

I love the Supernatural series...and so thought I'd go for Castiel initially, but no matter what variant of the name I chose...it was taken. Therefore, I chose Archangel, a powerful, protector of people and someone not to be taken lightly. I feel this is very me, especially now I'm a father...but also because I liken this to my play style.

Mine is a variation on my name (Allyssa). I always played too rough for the girls, and the boys would tease that I wasn't a lap cat but an alley cat. So...yeah. lol

lol Well, I do like the kitties. But no. My cousins in Ireland let me play rugby with them all the time, and I caught all kinds of hell from them.

Haha! My original gt was 3xp0s3ed (Exposed), not exactly sure how I got that, but it was leet! But, I changed my gt around 17 years old. Ando - is my highschool nickname and Pro - rhymes with Ando. So, at the time, I thought it was pretty clever and it just stuck.

lol i was wondering how you got andopro. i thought maybe you had a Eastern European background or something haha. it just sounds like a name you would see on the back of a hockey sweater. is that stereotyping? lol

Nope, born and raised American. Even though, if I grew my beard and wore a turban, I definitely look Middle Eastern, but not so much European.. Lol.

Ando - originated on the basketball court with my High School varsity team. Ever since then, my friends called me Ando. Which is weird, because usually nicknames are used to shorten your full name, but it has the same amount of characters. Never asked why, just thought it might have been a sign of respect.

the power of beards! when people ask when i'm shaving i like to reply with "when the infidels leave the holy land". that normally blows some minds haha. most don't know how to respond or just say "oh". i just say it as a joke of course, i got sick of saying "never".

and yeah i agree with the nickname part. as far as high school goes, anything that isn't negative is a win in my book lol.

I always loved this thread. the old one got really long over the many months. D4RKY comes from what my old xbox live friends called me. I have had many forms of it, D4RKY, FULM3T4LD4RKY, D4RKYwilldie (that one didn't last long). But what it comes from is xXD4RK1Xx. All my friends thought the 1 was an I and called me darky. Kinda stuck so figured I'd just make it that. Even further back my GT was darkjett, don't really remember why though. I have been toying woth the idea to make my GT D4RK FURY. But not sure.

P.S. xXD4RK1Xx comes from my highschool days, I liked anything black, or dark colored. I love the dark grey color of metal. But I was more punk than emo in hogh school but everyone said I was gothic. Whatever, I still am kinda that way.
