My own is the name of a character from the book Neverness by David Zindell (Danlo Ringess). He's a fascinating individual that melds the metaphysical with the spiritual. Reading Neverness for the first time as a 17yo just blew my mind away and opened me up to the possibilities and joys of philosophy.
How about you?

My nickname is an homage to the TV show
Babylon 5. (Yes I know, it's been off the air for nearly 10 years ... but it lives on DVD!) In it, human telepaths are part of an organization called PsiCorps, whose members are policed by their most powerful telepaths, called PsiCops. One of the PsiCops who showed up now and again in the story, was Bester, played by Walter Koenig. He was deliciously villainous, so I used that as a moniker.
