I got curious looking at everyone's names! I'll start us off with mine :)

I am in LOVE with everything Legend of Zelda, especially the Skyward Sword game that came out on the Wii when I was a kid. There was a line that stuck with me forever ago and inspired me to take on as a moniker.

"While it's true that I am Hylia reborn, I'm still my father's daughter and your friend...I'm still your Zelda."

Crockpots r cool 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

originally it was supposed to be "erik" on this website but i accidently put an extra h

that's literally. that's literally it.

Me and my sisters used to play online games on our ps3. Games like call of duty and resistance. We got sick of sharing our dads account. So we got together to come up with the name. After they went and eventually got their own accounts, I took it over. I'm BunniesOfDoom on pretty much everything. If you see a BunniesOfDoom in your games, there's a likely chance it's me!

Been a big Tolkien fan since I was knee high and The Elvenking is one of my favourite characters, just changed it to The Elvenqueen because I'm femme haha

I'm TheElvenJedi (or some variation thereof) most everywhere else, to incorporate my Star Wars hyperfixation as well. Might change it here as well to match, not decided for sure yet tho

A looooong time ago, I named my character Crimson Flame in a Black Rock Shooter RPG. I wanted to do something different from the names I normally do, and here we are.

I’m considering changing it to something more fitting of me, but I don’t know what.

I'm chronically online.

I was watching A Certain Scientific Railgun many, many years ago, and borrowed the name "Kuro" from Kuroko. I used it for a tabletop character (neko pugilist) in a weebshit fantasy Japan game, and after some time it evolved into my brand to where everyone knew me by that name. I did recently take a moment to step away from the name with a name change, but it didn't feel right after being known as Kuro for more than a decade either here or elsewhere so I had Mahz change it back for me.

Oh, it goes way back to 2020. I just made my RP comeback after many many years and was so big into fighting games at the time (well, still is). I thought writing a fighting game character felt just right for the time being, and since Terry’s my KOF main, he eventually became one of the first fighting game characters I’ve ever portrayed. Eventually, he went on to become not just my main fighting game character, but also main RP character that I tend to write wherever I go.

Also, part of it has to do with giving others in the RPG an expectation of the kinda character I’m gonna write most of the time. Because if the rules don’t forbid, I’d obviously write Terry in any plot I participate in because y’know why? I just love pretending to be this character that much. He’s literally me

it was my nickname in middle school and high school. I did not know what else I wanted to go by.

my name is just bc of gerard way (from my chemical romance) 2004 teal roots era, it was originally just supposed to be "tealroots" but my "s" key wasn't working so i accidentally typed four "s"'s and i actually like it


image of teal roots era, for reference

and i may have different names on other sites like paganfeminist (bc i'm pagan AND a feminist), my old genius username was damonalbarnwhenhehadthatcutebowlcut bc i was obsessed with damon albarn (from blur) when he had a bowl cut back in 1991 before it was blocked on my computer, my pinterest username was granny kurt (jeri's wife) (bc jeri is my current girlfriend and bc i liked kurt cobain) before it was blocked on my computer, my spotify username is hermes (jeri's wife) (bc i like the lore related to hermes the god and bc of my new roleplay Hermes Powder) and just to be silly, i'm on duolingo as picolas_cage and my mom follows me on there and we're in on the same joke

Variant spelling of a boss from Tales of Maj'eyal. https://te4.org/wiki/Lithfengel

I eventually dropped the "fangal" part and just went by Lith.

Elsewhere I've long gone by Hael. Root Haelstrom, variant of the World of Warcraft server name and the Mass Effect planet name. If I fuse them, Lithael seems legit.

Not a reference to Brock Lesnar but a reference to the infamous Pokemon Nuzlocke playthrough by TeamFourStar where they encounter the Snorlax in LeafGreen. After capturing it, they decide to call it Bork Laser.

My first like adult reading book was by Stephen King (then writing as Richard Bachmann) and probably my favorite of his is the Dark Tower series and the way it intertwines with a bunch of his books, including that first book I read which was called Desperation.

Bango Skank is the great lost character from both The Stand and some of Peter Straub's writing (he also did some collaborative work with Stephen King), he leaves graffiti all over the place in various dystopias and in odd places. From an alternate messed up New York to underneath The Dixie Pig, which is basically a hideout for wicked evil animal people cannibal buttholes.

I don't do it as much anymore but I used to do a lot of little notes in some of my writing indicating that I was basically speaking to the reader. Sometimes just saying stuff like "Imagine, dear reader, if you will what must have been going through his mind as blah blah blah the shoobity doobity" because I picked it up from reading a ton of King's stuff when I was little.

References include:

"I wonder what happened to Bango Skank...."

"BANGO SKANK AWAITS THE KING!"

""Bango Skank was here" was written on the bridge."

It was a name that belonged to an old character of mine from almost a decade ago. Alice Abigail, a former Princess, who lives on as a spirit contained in an amulet - capable of possessing someone's mind.

It also reflects Alice in Wonderland, that I've recently gained a fondness for.

When I was a kid, one of my favorite things to do was play video games and my dad always said that I was wasting my time. So, when I got a WordPress blog, I was originally going to call myself a timewaster but that was taken so I ended up adding suburban to it because I live in the suburbs.

I actually tend to be quite pessimistic and neurotic most of the time. My username is a conscious decision on my part to do the opposite of what only brings me misery and suffering, and to rewrite the limiting beliefs that live rent-free in my mind.
