    Kyo Kusanagi from King of Fighters. Dug the name, looked it up and found the KoF story is based on Japanese legend and that Kusanagi is the Japanese equivalent to Excaliber. Been using it since 2003-ish.

    Honestly thinking about changing it when donations open up to my actual name, or something close like my Twitter handle.

    Onslaught's a badass, and my favorite/lucky number is 24. though i prefer to just be called "Onslaught"

    and now that it's grown on me, it seems to have a nice ring to it

    It's from an anime I watched as a kid, Starzinger. Jingjing was a villain. My 2nd username, the one I usually register on nowadays is Crystalboy, a villain from the awesome anime Cobra.

    Grimlock= fav TF character, I've always liked the number 13. I'd probably change it now but don't want to pay to do so.

    Mine came from college, 2001 time frame. I was living in what was basically a 6 bedroom apartment with some friends and anytime I was at home, I wore shorts or boxers and not much else. Hated having a shirt on. Still do. But one day, I was walking down the hallway when my friend came around the corner. He stopped, looked at me and said "you're lumpy" then kept walking. It just stuck after that and everyone started calling me lumpy.

    Pretty sure he told me later that it was something said on "Ed, Edd and Eddy" but I don't recall anymore. Definitely has nothing to do with weight, cuz I'm a lanky tall skinny dude.

    You can if you're a TFW supporter, donating at least $25. However donations are currently closed, so for now you're stuck, but hopefully they'll reopen soon

    edf- stands for evil doctor furter ( frank n furter) from the rocky horror picture show. I did the abbreviations from shortened screen names I used back in college when I performed in a live cast. I am horrible at picking names, so I am known as edf on several art forums and reptile forums I participate in.

    Many people think I am a man named ed. far from it...LOL

    I chose to mix the names of B'Boom & Bantor two lesser known Beast Wars characters one of which whom may or may not be a red assed monkey. The B' is also for BiZZiD which is my real name.

    Well I've taken two parts of a name from two leaders from two different eras in G1. Optimus Prime + Victory Saber = Optimusaber. I used the number one since it denotes here that Prime was the main leader, hence Opt1musaber. I've somehow made it sound mathematical.

    E is for my first name in which is Eric, zilla for the love of Godzilla, and 82 is for 1982 the year I was born. So yeah that is my origin of my username, and I know some people already knew that if other didn't than there you go.

    My friend used this name in his AdventureQuest Worlds account, and the maku part came from a shorter version of the name Makuta from Bionicle that he randomly thought of.
