    Well, it all began in 1995 when I signed up on AOL. Hawk and Hawke were taken and since I've been an Airwolf fan all my life I had to have it, so I added another K in the various iterations for playing Neverwinter Nights. First name here was Knightconvoy as in Knight Optimus, because I thought it sounded cool. One day I got the burr to change my username and decided to combine them both.. I kind of regret changing it sometimes.

    Ninja-I like Ninjas
    Nick-that's my name, don't wear it out
    TF-Transformers.

    Honestly it was a stupid name I came up with when I was 12 that kinda stuck.

    My username has no meaning.

    And it's certainly NOT based on a clone of Starscream from Transformers Animated.

    I have 2 aliases; Pinpoint (Shortened to Pin) and ButterLatias (shortened to Butter)

    Pinpoint: My current alias and what most of my friends know me as. It's the name of a self-insert OC that eventually became a persona. Said persona is in my avatar.

    Butter: A dead alias. I dont really like being called it anymore. This one has a longer explanation.

    Way back when (and by "way back" I mean like 2012-14) I was a big fan of Skydoesminecraft. He liked to refer to gold as butter.

    Now, Latias' shiny form is a glistening gold colour. So naturally, I combined the word butter with it. Bam, New alias.

    I also go by Boom, but virtually nobody knows me as that aside from people who encounter me in Minecraft or Pokemon.

    Everything was taken, 50th choice. I wanted something with the suffix naut to reflect my growing up with North American Takara toys.

    I was watching a documentary on Houdini and they said his magic show was called open challenge. I think it might have just been promoted as an open challenge.
