My user, ArctosAnima, is the same as my deviantart, which I created before this. Figured for starters, that it could easily connect my watchers there to here if any of them played, and vice versa.
Second, I squiggled around with the name by their Latin meanings.

Search the name in Google Translate and you'll get "Bear Soul". This is correct in the sense that "arctos" is part of the scientific name for brown bears. Soul is one of the meanings for "anima".
However, this is not the meaning. I did though use it a similar way. "Arctos" is also part of the scientific name for Arctic/polar wolves. "Anima" itself has many meanings including "soul", "spirit", "life", "breeze", and more.
So, to me, the name means Arctic Spirit or Arctic Soul.
I take this name from being an Arctic wolf therian, simply put.

My handle, Skye, is my nickname, as well as the name I use around online to represent myself instead of using my real name. When I draw myself in something, I draw what I consider to be my wolf self, and I refer to it as Skye only in that way. I don't actually name it. It's not a separate being. However, it just makes it easier to represent myself and interact online. Some people think of it/"her" as a fursona, and that's fine. I'm not totally comfortable saying I'm a therian because of the jerks out there who try to say I need mental help, despite being a functioning adult.
I do have an avatar in game of "Skye" and play as "her" often. It really is just me, but I enjoy using it for roleplays at times.

Sorry that was so long, but yeah.

Let me see...hmmm
I got my forum username from my main cat character Domino and added the NQ from my username on the game.
How I got my game user?
Well..I got it from my love of Nightcore music. ^^

The story behind my in-game username is a little comical.

I know they say don't use your real first name in usernames but there are lots of people named Angela so...

Well, I created my account back when it was summer and the registration would open every morning at 9 AM Eastern time for ONE MINUTE.

So when I got to the username blank I was like 'well crap what do I do' so I mashed my first name and my favorite Pokemon together...

thus my username of 'angelatorchic' was born.

My forum name -
My forum name is based on one of my role models, who's first name started with "Kai". Since I love chocolate pudding, I added Pudding to the end.

My username -
Hazel was one of my favorite names at the time, but I was also thinking of "Angel" and the way I see angels: They got wings! Since I loved both things, I add xx to the front and end. xxhazelwingxx!

My OC -
I have an OC named Jay and Jason.
Well, my name is Bluejay but I prefer mostly to be called Jay. So basically, Jay is my 'sona.
Jason on the other hand is my brother's 'sona because I have an older brother named Jason.

My UTAU's -
Their name "Kai" also comes from my role model and my name. Their last name, "Kazune"   was basically something that came to mind because I couldn't think of a Japanese-sounding last name for them.
For Kazune KAI (the female, which is me XD), all I did was make the "Kai" part uppercase, as for her older brother has a lowercase Kai.

Haaaa--
Mine's originally from a default name, given by another game I used to play a while back.
Eventually, I started to like it more and then it finally stuck with me. So I tend to use it for anything nowadays.
Nothing really inspiring. It just looks interesting to look at. :>

Hylocereus is a kind of cactus. And "Cereus" by itself means "torch" (as in fire), which I thought was pretty cool because I'm utterly entranced by fire and love cacti. Then I figured out my favorite fruit - the dragonfruit - also came from the Hylocereus cactus. And THEN I saw how gorgeous the flowers were.

I figured it was some sort of sign, so I've been calling myself Hylocereus for a long time now. I've yet to find another person with the same handle.
