Not that I have all that many...

Jonah Matsuka, Toward the Terra
coffeematsuka
Because I was (and remain) hideously uninspired when it came to picking his username. He makes coffee for Keith in canon. And Serge thinks that's all he's good for. And I never miss an opportunity to beat a joke into the ground.

Luck Gandor, Baccano!
favorsthebrave
fortunajuvat
Two riffs on the same play on words: "audaces fortuna juvat / fortune favors the brave." Which I will never, ever get tired of.

Squall Leonhart, Final Fantasy VIII
liondormant
"Lion dormant," French for "sleeping lion." It's a heraldry term for, well, a sleeping lion. The phrase "Sleeping Lion Heart" has been associated with Squall.
badcoffee
An injoke from back when I played him on, of all things, a Marvel game. The joke being that Squall, since he grew up on cafeteria food, is accustomed to godawful coffee.

Dyrk Magz / Magno, Legion of Super-Heroes
i_am_not_cos
"Cos" referring to Cosmic Boy... because both in canon and in fandom, Dyrk is accused of being a poor man's Rokk Krinn. And he is not.

"Minako Arisato," Persona 3
xxii_thefool
The player character of Persona 3 is associated with the Fool Arcana. The Fool is ordinarily #0 of the Major Arcana, but Protagonist-chan, as an alternate player character, is associated with its alternate placement, #22 - she even wears hairpins that form an XXII design in her hair. Thus, XXII. The Fool.

Rogue, X-Men
msrogue
Double meaning: Ms. Rogue and Mississippi (MS) Rogue.

belatedly updated because I found more, wtf

Shi Ryuuki, Saiunkoku Monogatari
bakaou
"Baka-ou" = "stupid emperor," because he plays dumb enough that people actually call him this.

Sagara Sousuke, Full Metal Panic!
uruz_seven
Uruz 7 is his Mithril callsign, and also Sousuke has no imagination ever. Amazingly all permutations of "Uruz 7" had not actually been taken yet.
