I have unholy magic powers, but only from 12:00 AM to 12:01 AM.

-crp

PS: In all seriousness, I'm not sure exactly how MidnightLich came to be. I used to have a personal portfolio website that was purplemidnight.net, which was probably atrophying right around the time I joined the Decipher message boards. I think I combined my website name with the Final Fantasy I Lich (which was my avatar), and voila. MidnightLich.

PPS: Fun fact - "MidnightLich" is too long for use as a Nintendo Online account name. (A Nintendo Switch was purchased for Christmas.) I decided to shorten it to 12AMLich, which has entertained Andrea to no end.

Jono comes from the TNG episode "Suddenly Human". He's the character played by Chad Allen (who also starred in Our House and My Two Dads in the 1980s and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman in the 1990s).

The reason I chose the handle is personal :wink:

This was also partially because I have always liked dinosaurs and T-Ricks sounded kind of like T-Rex. Now you also know why I have the little avatar I use.
Also your fascination with John Hammond cosplay.

My first association with this name came in the early 90s, at a College Bowl event. In between the official rounds was a "for fun" sci-fi-themed round. Each person on the team picked a Trek-themed handle to identify themselves. (The lucky one was my friend who is actually named Nick Meyer.) I chose the only Star Trek character I could think of with my name -- Commodore Matt Decker.

Later, I joined the online STCCG community at Decipher's website, and selected the same identity. Due to the requirements and limitations of what your username had to look like, I abbreviated the rank (as *everyone* knows, "Comm." is the abbreviation for "Commodore", while "Commander" is properly abbreviated "Cmdr.") and eliminated spaces, to get "commdecker".

Mine is after a former member of GWAR, who also have a song of the same name.

Eventually, it seems, I have taken over that mantle.

John Hammond came WAY after T-Ricks. I've only been doing that for a couple of years or so. It just so happened to fit it rather well by sheer coincidence. :D
