The story is this;

I came to NationStates, I thought it sucked and decided that my commitment to it was going to be for only a short while, so I simply thought of a name at the top of my head, Pericles. I had only been in roleplaying for a short while, and my last username for roleplaying was very unique to the RP and I thought it would sound weird for NationStates so I left it, and instead randomized my username search and just came up with Pericles, I don't know why.

So as I was looking around the NationStates forums for the third time in a week after signing up, I came across an ad for 21c, I thought "Oh fuck cool an RP based on the 21st century!" so I came to this website and I thought, "this is fucking cool, I'm gonna sign up", so I decided to leave my last RP name and just go with the original one that I hadn't put thought into it, Pericles.

And that is just how I got it.

When I first signed up on NS, I had to think of a really cool name, of course. At the time I was I was a real Romanophile (still am, but especially then). So, I found a city on my Rome: Total War map, Lilybaeum. I liked the sound of it, but not the spelling, so I made it into Lylybium.
Obviously, people simply referred to me as Lyly, and I've been confused with a girl with a misspelled name ever since. :P

I watched them strap him into the seat and shut the door. He might of looked a bit nervous about it but that was about all. I really believe that he knew he was going to be in hell in fifteen minutes. I believe that. And I've thought about that a lot. He was not hard to talk to. Called me Sheriff. But I didn't know what to say to him. What do you say to a man that by his own admission he has no soul? Why would you say anything? I've thought about it a good deal.

When I was still a Russophile, I mushed together Vladivostok, Molotov, and another word that escapes me at the moment.

Vladivostok = Stok
Molotov = lo
Molotov = mol
Vladivostok = vi?

Schwerpunkt

[ *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  * ]
Schwerpunkt is a German military doctrine. It's probably best defined as 'center of gravity,' but it basically means throwing overwhelming force at a specific point. If you can't have general superiority, have local superiority. A predecessor of Blitzkrieg. Of course, it's initially hard to spell, so I get a lot of goofy nicknames and typos (Spunky being the most common 'abbreviation' after Schwer).

Plus 'center of gravity' sorta fits my ego, right? In the words of the greatest map maker to ever grace Warcraft 3: "you orbit around me, bitch."

CipherHornet is my X-Box Live tag, with different numbers. I used to be CipherHornet18, but after some payment issues, I cant go online on that, so it's CipherHornet22. But now my system is screwed up and wont let me get online anymore. And, if you do want to find me on XBL, good luck. But I'm usually only playing Call of Duty 4 or 5. I have a low tollarance for online gaming so yeah. Dont expect me on if I ever fix my system.

But, the name itself comes from two ways. Cipher is the callsign of the main character of Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War. And that game was one of my favorites, if just for the challange of the "ace" squadrons. Hornet is because I was raised around USN F/A-18Cs, and therefore, I really like the Hornet. Fun fact: I wrote a research paper on the Hornet almost 90% from my memoy alone. I'm the only one who got a 100% on the research paper.

Basically, a couple years ago (middle school, yay!) I was into anime and all that crap. I've since gotten over it (thankfully). Basically, I was running an IRC chat room (with Matt) which had a lot of anime nerds on it, being that it was the chatroom for a neopets graphics site (no, I didn't actually use the site or neopets).

So, after going through a couple of nicknames, I decided that I wanted to be cool and have a Japanese name like a lot of other people on the chatroom. So I searched "Japanese name translator" or something similar on Google, found a site, typed in my real name, and got Maikeru. And it's stuck ever since.

Used to be "Pale Rider" after the Clint Eastwood western movie, then I just shortened it to "Rider." Nothing special, I just like the movie and most things western. I guess it bears some relevance since I ride horses and worked on a ranch for a number of years.
