I enjoy Muse (the band obviously) and thought DarkMuse had a nice ring to it.

I named myself "creepyguy" when I first started playing minecraft, because I was thinking of adjectives, and somehow found "creepy" interesting - I had only learned the meaning slightly earlier in school. But that account name was taken on minecraft so I switched for Cr33pyguy.

I thought you just liked Super Street Fighter like me and such.
Oh well.
I took my name because I have been told I have a "god complex" and since @GOD was taken.

I chose Saikou to be mine because of this: http://japanese.about.com/od/wordoftheday/p/word60.htm

"Saikou" is very original in my opinion, and probably more so than half the member's here. Rep+

Your name reminded me of the Highschool of the Dead girl.

I assumed you were named after Erwin Schrödinger, the physicist. Didn't know there was a character in Hellsing they gave his name.

I do like Street Fighter, just not enough to use a name from there. And, somehow I forgot about the character Oni.

Same.

If you want to be specific, yes, the motivation behind the name was actually the physicist ( Even if I barely understand the concept of quantum superposition. ), but I guess it didn't have enough context for me to enact that as a name.
Once I was reminded of the actual character, it would be roughly around the time I joined the Otaku group, so it seemed fitting.
I no longer have an avatar of the character, or much of a signature dedicated to him, but decided to stick to the name due to personal enjoyment.
