Just based on a character I made up. It sounded like a cool name for him, and while the idea came from the city in Ireland, it really has nothing to do with Ireland at all.

Three things:

The first:
Ser·aph- plural ser·a·phim; or seraphs
1. An order of angels.
2. Singular, plural seraphim : one of the 6-winged angels standing in the presence of God.

These are the rank of angels that guarded the entrance of Eden.

The second:

I was a fan of the Elements from Xenogears.

The third:

I pronounce it the same way, too.

I stick with it mainly because even when I originally switched to something else, Soul4ger still called me bjork, so it just stuck. :)

Thanks for the reminder (seriously)

I have to read it before Richard Linklaters film comes out.

MIMIC

Banned
I "hacked" the GamePro.com forums 4 years ago and changed a lot of passwords and posted as some of the users (including some of the editors. :p) I also did it in the chat room.

(it wasn't any malicious type of attack or anything...it was just to see if I could).

Thus, the name 'mimic' stuck.
 
When I was in my middle school years, every summer the school district ran a summer playground for the district's students. There were organized leagues to play baseball/soccer/field hockey between other school district's summer programs, in addition to random games like wallball, four squares, etc. One of our favorite games was Home Run Derby--which we played with an aluminum bat and tennis balls. We would play for an hour or so time limit, and whoever had the most homeruns won. You were out immediately if one of your fly balls was caught, and the person who caught it would have a turn at bat. However, you could return to bat multiple times even after flying out if you caught someone else's fly ball.

I had a tendency to make a lot of catches because I would come from out of nowhere and jump up right in front of the taller kids and catch a fly ball. Our "camp counselor" Dean found it hilarious that the taller, more athletic kids were getting snuffed by me and dubbed me "Demon Transporter" because of this. Over the summer it was shortened to "Demon." A few high school friends still call me it occasionally.

As for the DJ part, when Frequency first came out online, I needed to come up with a DJ name. DJ Demon was already taken, so I added a J--DJDJ for short. I've kept it ever since.

Weird. I remember you telling me before that it was a character from Vagrant Story. What's yer real name then if you don't mind my asking?

P.S. My name = my surname 'Boutros' plus the English slang term 'init' which is short for 'isn't it'.

When I'm gaming with my cousins and brothers I always demand the first player controller, the best seat etc so they started calling me a gaming diva. :)

I've had it for around 10 years, and I got it from A Midsummer Night's Dream. I added the 1337 to irritate people that take IRC way too seriously, and it seems to work just as well on messageboards.
