      Not sure if there's already a thread like this, but it seemed like an interesting one to start. Why did you choose the username you chose? Is there a reason behind it, or was it a completely random choice?

      For example, I chose Epoida because it's a cool name, and I like the character despite his minor role in the story. Hey, my other choice was Satori…:ninja:

      Where did your username come from?

        The Aegis name comes from a story I made up while I was 14. The Volt part sounds really cool.

          once met this guy in a suicide chatroom, and I told him all about my plans to become famous. He called me a megalomaniac and told me that it would never happen. He said that if I ever made a movie or if I were ever in a movie or something, that I should be credited as TheCrystalShip (it was my username in the chatroom as well), or that "TheCrystalShip" should flash on the screen before the movie or something. Like as a code word.

          I think that he's dead now but I took his words to heart. Also, ships are related to pirates.

            I thought about making this thread a few times. Never did though…

            Anywho, I came up with my username about 5 years ago, back when I was really into Kingdom Hearts.
            sora + riku + kairi = sorikai

            The 33 comes from another username I have. That name has it's own story, but I'd rather keep that one private, so I'm not gonna go into specifics.

            Sorikai33 is my username on almost every site I've ever registered with. So if you see it somewhere other than here, that's in all likelihood me.

            Steam Profile: Sorikai33 | 3DS Friend Code: 2981 6418 0894

            ^Feel free to add me on either^

                  Pretty much everything having to do with me is tragic somehow.

                            I chose this username based on a presumption that I wouldn't be a consistently good or bad poster, just…mediocre. So-so. Meh.

                            Eight years later, my posting is still inconsistent.

                                Man, it's been so long since I came up with this username. I dunno, I guess I just wanted something that sounded generally kind of cool and cryptic. It wasn't really intentionally inspired by anything specific, though, yes, I had heard the story of Odysseus and the Cyclops. Now it's pretty much my username for everything (heck, I may have even used this username before I joined AP).

                                  This thread did get made, possibly multiple times. I found this one easily, though I guess it's kinda old.

                                      "rise up" is a good song from blessthefall and there's this pretty girl back when i was still a college student who is a friend of mine called me "martian" and i kind of liked it. so yeah, riseupmartian. been using this username/forum name for almost 7 years already.

                                        Foolio is actually a massive coolio fan. He just mis-spelled it on his opening account, and it stuck ever since.

                                        He also has a kenan and kel tattoo with the intro lyrics on his back.

                                        I think it all came from them both being born in Pennsylvania. Coolio was like an icon to his hometown.

                                              Basically, I was originally aiming to take just Klabautermann because I liked the little ghost so much at the time and put Silent in front because, well, it was probably the best indicator of my personality I could give at the time. Also, the fact that I came right off a German exam probably had some influence on my decision as well.

                                              I grew tired of the length and constant misspellings after a while, and since on IRC I'd long since been shortening it to Silent it became what it is now, the K still there because, well, it does help differentiate me from Silence even if it makes my name sound like cornflakes. 😛

                                                My is a tribute to an old vilain of a popular comic in my country.

                                                His super power is polution and he comands a army of "mud-creatures".

                                                I choosed this name because this comics was the first thing I read when I was a kid and because I really like this main antagonist.

                                                When AP used to be good:

                                                NEVER FORGET !!

                                                    Me, I wanted to use shadow but as you may know everyone wants to call themselves shadow nowadays, so I desired to use Shadow as the mysterious person and greed as the hunger for power, which somehow defines me but I'm not there yet but I'll be

                                                    @TheCrystalShip:

                                                    once met this guy in a suicide chatroom, and I told him all about my plans to become famous. He called me a megalomaniac and told me that it would never happen. He said that if I ever made a movie or if I were ever in a movie or something, that I should be credited as TheCrystalShip (it was my username in the chatroom as well), or that "TheCrystalShip" should flash on the screen before the movie or something. Like as a code word.

                                                    I think that he's dead now but I took his words to heart. Also, ships are related to pirates.

                                                    And here I thought that your Username was related to One Piece… I was going to ask you something else but I'd rather not to

                                                      Fun topic! Always a joy to learn more about the folk here.

                                                      I didn't want to use the same name I use pretty much everywhere else on the net, so went with whatever was in my head at the time. Print Error refers to how I do coding, how I worked in publishing, how I like making photoshops, how I'm a writer, how I'm a fan of generalised chaos, and a few other things…seemed to work quite well 🙂

                                                            Well, that's quite old… I thinks it's because of 'Thorgal", a comic strip. A character is named Darek, (the left one) [hide]

                                                            [/hide] and I was trying to use this name in the "knight online" MMORPG but it was already taken. I don't like add numbers, or other things after my user name, so I've flipped it into "Kerad".
                                                            For internet, I use this name with one more R, because a lot of game/forum asks 6 chars for username.

                                                              Foolio is actually a massive coolio fan. He just mis-spelled it on his opening account, and it stuck ever since.

                                                              He also has a kenan and kel tattoo with the intro lyrics on his back.

                                                              I think it all came from them both being born in Pennsylvania. Coolio was like an icon to his hometown.

                                                              You do know Pennsylvania isn't a town, right?

                                                                    Heh, it's a long story.

                                                                    It goes back about twelve to eleven years when I first started playing a java-based MMORPG RuneScape that I played for over eight years after that and that first got me to online communities, and, in fact, eventually even got me here. It was a sort of an open world fantasy RPG where you could do everything from killing monsters to becoming a master woodcutter by chopping down thousands of trees (at one point I spent four straight months just sitting near some yew trees and chopping them down for three hours in a row - the full duration of my allowed PC time at that age), so I figured, at the age of nine, I wanted my character to have a fantasy name that wouldn't be too childish and lame but that would still incorporate the fantasy charm.

                                                                    I had seen my friends play the game and had seen them come across players with names like Sir or Lord or Knight something something, and at the time it struck me as a good idea to emphasize the fantasy aspect of it by choosing something similar, so I decided that becoming a Lord sounded the best. Then I started thinking about things I really liked because obviously it would have to be a personal name, and Netherlands was pretty much the first thing that came to mind. I had been there for a few days with my Dad a year earlier and had absolutely fallen in love with the place (my life's most amazing birdwatching experience took place there, and it's something I will always remember with warmth), and having been a fan of their national soccer club earlier I knew Dutch names often had prepositions like Van or Van der that I loved the sound of. So it had to be Lord van Something.

                                                                    But then I was in trouble. The maximum character limit was 12, and since I already had 9 characters as spaces counted I had to come up with something very short that would sound nice. And I spent hours thinking about three-letter words that would make the name to no avail. Everything just sounded awful. Then I got frustrated, stopped, and went to the bathroom, only to see my young sister's pack of diapers lying on the floor. And it had a huge text Pampers Baby DRY on it, with the last word completely in caps. I instantly knew I had it down. Lord van Dry sounded perfect.

                                                                    And I stuck to that for as long as I played the game. They even implemented a name change option years down the line which lead to the vast majority of people who were unhappy with their original name changing their in-game names. I never did. The only problem arose when I started using IRC and realized an in-game name like LordvanDry looked absolutely hideous in an online chat where the context was completely different. It had to be changed, so I just took the only part of the name that I could make use of and inflected it. I didn't even have to think, it all came to me in an instant. I translated 'dry' in Finnish and added the -ish suffix to it in an ironic joke on my habit of being very matter-of-fact and dry whenever talking about something seriously. Then I later translated it back into English again when I started frequenting international boards.

                                                                    And it's honestly the perfect name for me. Anyone who knows me really well knows that I'm not really a dry person at all, and that I don't really want to be one, but that I have a natural tendency of sliding into that kind of a role everywhere after having spoken in that way for a couple of times. It comes effortlessly, and it's a very fun image to spread around because it often lets me catch people by surprise when I do something that they never expect of someone as dry and boring as me. So by sticking with the name, I both embrace that role and simultaneously laugh at myself for being that way when I really am not. It's funny, simple, accurate, delightfully intelligent, ironic, and sounds really cool. And I absolutely love it like I always have.

                                                                    The reason I love my parrot avatar so much ties into it too. It's funny to have a colourful avatar that in a weird way represents a colourful view of life and goes to show that I appreciate the beauty of it all when I my name is something that deliberately goes against that. Also, I just love parrots.

                                                                    Tl;dr: "Dryish" comes from a pack of diapers.

                                                                        i was hooked up to One Piece and read it all in one complete go ... i didn't even sleep in the night some times ... my parents used to scold me a lot asking what i was doing the whole night when my eyes were blood-shot & i skipped college the day .. it happened few times in 2 weeks .. 🙂 .... ROFL ... aahhh those times were good .. 🙂 .......... and i re-read it again many times .. 🙂

                                                                        i really liked Ace even from his very few appearances in the manga .. .. i liked his devil fruit .. such a cool power ... & his outfit & his tattoos ..

                                                                        i liked the Whitebeard crew tattoo with the swastika even better than the current one ... then one fine day .. i asked my father if i could a tattoo just like the 'asce' & showed it to him ... he said with a serious face that he would pimp-slap me if i ever get a tattoo ... hahahahaha ... LOL ... that is what stopping me when ever i get an idea for a cool tattoo ....

                                                                        then i found this forum when i read Greg's comment that "AP Forums is the Garp of all One Piece forums" .... & that is how my username became 'asce' .. 🙂

It was a mix of Kuro's german name (-> Captain Black) with Black Jack, a cola brand I liked drinking back then. Since then I used this username pretty much everywhere I log on, sometimes only with the abbreviation "CBJ".

                                                                            On here I also wanted to use that name, but back then, when I first tried to register - which was probably in 2009 or 2010 already - I never got a confirmation mail, so I was never able to post on that account. Only when I made my current one I found out that I just had to use another mail service…

Nowadays though I don't really want to be associated with that show anymore tbh, so eh.

I kinda grew sick of it after a while, though, since I realised that using a One Piece related name isn't particularly creative/original. I decided instead that my username would be "cardboard box". I'm not entirely sure why I decided on that, but in any case, I really like the way it sounds in Russian. Thus, korobka was born.

I didn't want to go all-out, since I didn't expect to be here for more than 20 minutes.

I needed a name~ so my brother suggested 'supernova' and told me what one was. Well, I needed a number, as 'supernova@whatever' was taken, so I just chucked my then house number 122 on the end. I've mostly used 'supernova' since as a username, with varying numbers on the end (preference order: 122 -> 77 -> 90067 -> something else).

                                                                                              Well, as I've been using said same username for like ... most of my life, it's become so much my name to me that I kind of do a double take every time I read 'supernova' in a non-scientific context.

                                                                                              ...

                                                                                              Damn you Oda.

                                                                                                  Also yeah, the only reason why I'm suddenly typing icky Americanisms is that I have my Word spellcheck set on English (US) for some reason and my entire essay/rant thing that I'm writing would have been absolutely riddled with red if I hadn't opted for writing with zeds. It kind of stuck. I'm expecting to go back to using ses once I'm done with that seeing how I've kept the us in words like behaviour.

                                                                                                    Yeah, I should probably do that sometime. Though I don't really want to give some mod extra stuff to do, since the old "CaptainBlackJack" account, which I never was able to use, should still be around somewhere…

                                                                                                    Also since some of here - like you - have pony avatars on here, I feel like I should clarify what I meant with the last sentence. I once watched the show and yes, I liked it. I somewhen stopped watching it and after starting Gravity Falls I realized that at least for my taste there are even better cartoons out there (which doesn't mean FiM was bad in any means). What mainly turns me off nowadays is some part (not all of it) of the fanbase though - it weirds me out quite honestly...

I didn't have to search too long, turns out nobody wanted anything to do with the Warship Island filler arc.
