    Pwnagraphic is a different story, and that's primary my "alias" on any game.. but my mains name is Avadon Zaxxon

    Avadon is a derivative of "Abbaddon" or "Abadon" which is Russian for "Angel of Death". No, I'm not Russian but I liked the sound of it. I used it for the first time in DCUO.

    Zaxxon is actually a game company from the early '90's. Actually they might be a Arcade company, but if you Google Zaxxon, something game related will come up. I thought it sounded good with Avadon and it was also kind of a nod to early gaming.

    Avadon, you may be interested to know that the source root of Abaddon is Hebrew, in which it means an intensive form of 'destruction' (like in Job 26 or Psalm 88). There is in fact a famous passage in Revelation 9:11 in which Abaddon is called 'the destroyer': "They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon."
