Yeah, I don't play things like Neopets. If the spelling isn't even right, I wonder why people keep making that misconception. I got the name by taking the name of a fighting game character I liked as a kid (whose name is 'Sho' or 'Shou', and I still think he's cool) and sticking 'Ryu' on the end of it because when I was younger I liked dragons (not that I don't still like dragons now, but I'm less hyped about them). A lot of people also mistake my name as being a reference to 'Shoryuken' (you sort of can't blame them for that one, since I'm a fighting game expert/enthusiast of sorts), but it's pretty much a coincidence. The surname was pretty much picked because 'Magami' means 'Truth of God'.

Actually, I respond to 'Shoryu' or 'Sho' (or 'Shor' for those who pronounce Shoryu as 'Shor-you') in real life. I've been using that name for so long that it's become indistinguishable from my own name.

Cheers -- it's meant to represent the character from the new role-play I'm starting up. Normally, I prefer to use the avatar of my OC that you're used to seeing me have for my avatar, but I figured this could be a cool change for the sake of that role-play and I really enjoy the anime this character's from.
