Where does your username come from?

[qsurf]

Gil had to come from somewhere, didn't he?

Of course, he was the one with the legends told about him, and that's all that matters in the Nasuverse.

Wait...

Gil = 2/3 Divine

Therefore:
Father = 1/2 Divine
Mother = 1/1 Divine

Therefore:
Grandparent 1 = 0/1 Divine
Grandparent 2 = 1/1 Divine

...

If:
Grandfather = 0/1 Divine

Then:
Grandfather banged a goddess and Father banged a goddess.

But:
Gil rejected a goddess.

...

Conclusion:
Gil's line was one step away from true divinity, but Gil rejected that last step.

Ergo:
Gilgamesh is in fact a disappointment to his family's line.

...

Huh...looks like the King of Heroes really fucked up back there.

Also, if Gilgamesh is only 2/3 divine, then his habit of calling everyone mongrels is in fact, hypocrisy.

[Apple]

Entrances naked women, is considered the fruit of knowledge, grants immortality, grows on the death isle of King Arthur and doesn't afraid of anything.

Coolios ergo sum.

[Black Sword]

Didn't you know? Hypocrisy is reserved for the king.

As I recall, Lugalbanda was born mortal, but acquired 1/3 divinity through his deeds. When Lug banged Ninsun, half that sliver of divinity went to Gilgamesh. 1/6 divinity + 1/2 Divinity = 2/3 divinity.

[Apple]

So in ancient Uruk, if you were badass and cool enough they gave you godhood in place of medals?

[Black Sword]

Well, a little bit of godhood, yes.

[Seika]

Yeah, it's interesting (I don't particularly remember how Lugalbanda's case happened). Post-death deification, though, is common in various places, especially when your gods are not absolute concepts of good, justice and righteousness but are of a much more human dimension. Most ancient Greek cities had patron heroes; each ... political district, we'll call it ... of Athens had its patron and so forth. Herakles is the most obvious and prominent one, but tonnes of heroes are worshipped after their deaths. Imperial deification almost becomes as formality in Rome, only denied when that emperor's cult of personality had severely broken down.

Hell, it's not without parallels even in monotheistic religions. Saints - especially the martyrs - are not so different, particularly in Catholicism.

[Ruu-tan]

Nickname in real life when best friends randomly decided to have us pick Japanese names beginning with 'R'. I thought of Rukia from Bleach when asked and they christened me as 'Ruuka' though it's often changed into 'Ruu-tan' because it's... cuter. So the nickname kinda stuck.

[RoadBuster]

Lol, a more direct example.

[Kotonoha]

What about Elf? Does she just really like Keebler cookies?

[Theocrass]

... I now imagined EMIYA as a Keebler elf.

[RoadBuster]

Nope. Just short, lol

My e-mail, which originally had something to do with Pokemon. When I started using it as a username long ago, I took off a couple letters so it wouldn't be as obvious. But it's also weird for people to pronounce during voice chat, which is something I didn't consider at the time...

[KAIZA]

My username...
Well, it's a shortened version of "Caizaguano", an old nickname I was given back in middle school. I have no idea how they came up with it. The nickname was based on my last name (Caicedo), but my classmates later started shortening it to Caiza. I eventually took it (changing the spelling a bit), and have used it for every username ever since. My old classmates still call me Caiza in college, though.

[lilithsama]

You must change it to Caizar! And then you can be an Ecuadorean dictator, muahahahahahaha!!

[Gaterjhonz]

My name came from....well a shortened 'Alligator Jaws' obviously, which was GatorJawz, and since I wanted it to look moar l337, I changed it to GaterJ4wz (an effort that obviously failed).

[TetsuoS2]

I just ended up seeing this japanese name somewhere, liked it, and started using it. I probably have 5+ accounts with this name.

That and I like Iron Man too.
