I always like seeing an obscure reference to something I appreciate...
saw a "Kilgore_Trout" once (a recurring character in K. Vonnegut's books), or "ChaoticNeutral" (D&D reference), etc... inside jokes are so much better then those boring outside ones. I wonder why it feels good to recognize something like that... Hmm.
Anyway, the name Swarmalicious is what I used during my rabid Starcraft addiction - zergling swarms were my forte - and I always liked the way it melded 'swarm' and 'malicious' ('malicious' is SO intimidating, I know :)). I've tried to create other personas, but Swarm's the only one that stuck.
Since then I've gone to greater lengths than I even dare publicly admit to apply the "licious" suffix to an appropriate prefix (I have studied thesauruses for an HOUR looking for the right word sometimes). Some from memory:
Elementalicious - druid
Fractalicious - warcry barb (I thought the colorful method of Taunt, B.C., and stun looked "fractal-y")
Universalicious - party necro
etc.
:)
edit: Waitaminute... thesauruses? Thesauri maybe. Thesauruseses. Bleh, a dictionary's what I need.
