how did you decide on your super-hero.. oops internet name?

Mine is my name. No imagination anymore in my old age.

I used to use handles, back in my halcyon BBS days, I used Keymaster (Master of Keys, as on keyboards...get it? well, *I* thought it was clever back in 1984) and never found another one, but I did run into an occasional Gatekeeper. I just wanted to be different than all the political figures, superheroes, sci-fi references, comic book characters and D&D references that were so popular in that age. Eventually, I got tired of it and went to my name...love me or hate me, here I am!

Mine comes from a couple of different places. I've been troubleshooting (problem solving) for a long time now. Computers, electronics, people, etc all fall under the blanket term of troubleshooting. In a pen and paper RPG we play it was also the secret ID that I (we played outselves turned in metahumans) used.

In time it morphed into an overarching concept about how I approach the problems around me.

In latin it's "facilator", a fixer, it's where we came up with the word facilitator.
