I'm a huge fan of the anime Bleach..the mask I wear is proof of that ^ ^ Anshin means "Peace of mind" which I feel when I play my guitar. My Ibanez RGR420EX, I named it Getsuga Tenshou.

Whatever floats your boat.

My name is a recurring username I've used since I was a wee forumer back in 2002.

I'm gonna be really honest with ya, that's the weirdest name for a guitar I've ever heard. But I'll leave that one there.

My username comes from the original name for photography; heliography. The Latin word "helio" means sun, and "graph" means picture. The first picture ever taken was a still shot of a rocky landscape and it was developed on a stone tablet. The photographer called it "heliography", and while the invention was dubbed brilliant and unrivaled, the name was ridiculed relentlessly for it's inaccuracy. The name was changed to photography.

I'm a huge photo buff, and I can't help but snap shots everywhere. Also, the story behind the username represents me. I've never really fit in anywhere, although I've been told by mental health professionals I have an IQ of 180. It's just like the story, isn't it?

No particular meaning behind my username. I just find the letters fitting for each other. I've used this name several places, but sometimes it's not available...

This is a pretty boring story but I'll tell it anyway . . . :-)

Well, I was on a chat thing at the time. I had bronchitis I think, and everyone was goofing around and saying SARRSSS because they were being silly, and my insurance form said A.U.R.I. (Acute Upper Respiratory Infection), so I thought, "huh, I will go on the chat thing and say I have AURIIII!!!!"

So I did, and my friend said "Auri, eh? That sounds like a name." So I changed my name in the chat thing to Auri. I kept that for some years, but I'd change my name to Auricar when I was driving down to LA, so people would know I wasn't around. I was in a car! Then one time, I flew back east to Illinois to my dad's house, and I changed my name to Auriplane. And, I thought it was cute, so I just kept it as Auriplane, even though I wasn't on a plane anymore.

Sometimes I just go by Plane now. Hee.

P.S. Also, Auri means gold in Latin, so I can pretend my name means Golden Plane.

Auriplane!!

I made up the name "TheGreatJuja" as a fake name when my friends and I were trying to join this dating site to mess with this girl we knew. I imagined The Great Juja as like a giant frog or something. This was probably about 7 or 8 years ago and I've been using the name for everything ever since. Anyway, I made this name up BEFORE I played guitar or Smash Bros., so the whole "great" part isn't me trying to claim to be great at either. That's why I usually drop "The Great" part and just go with Juja.

Considering I was given my guitar on my 21st brithday and didn't get round to actually trying to learn the damn thing for a good two or so years has passed, I couldn't actually think of an excuse as to why I hadn't. Other than being rather scared of learning I was pretty much just being plain lazy. Hence: plainlazy.

[Also, I'm kind of one of those rather unusual furry types and my anthropomorphic persona goes by the name of Laze, I was going to use this as I felt it may have been somewhat relevant, but I thought I'd go for something a little different]

And like VizardAnshin, I also named my guitar. I call it Dustmite, considering it spent a good few years caked in dust. The poor thing.

There was a very valuable dwewer book (called "Divine Metaphysics") in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind in which
a person, kagrenac, speaks of right to alternate one body with machinery. ( I think )

Name of the book sounded fantastic. Its also full of contradictions.
