Whats the story behind your name, if any? For me- it was my Club Penguin username, I made it back when MLG memes were relevant and I used to play a lot of the Papas games (ie Papas Pizzeria) and thats where “Papa Louie” comes from
Dark Souls 2, because I'm an unoriginal bastard and couldn't think of anything better. I was playing it frequently when I signed up. It's kind of lame for a username and I wish I could change it actually.
In around 95 on AOL I tried to get Hawke after String-Fellow Hawke on Airwolf but it was already taken so I added in another K. Adding any thing around it as I felt fit a moment. My named here used to be Knightconvoy but wanted to get Hawkke in it to fit in the rest of my online profiles.
It’s the name of a character I really like from a “unique” JRPG series. She’s a personification of a theoretical seventh generation Sega game console, named after the canceled Sega Neptune. In her Goddess form(she transforms) she is named Purple Heart. Purple is also my favorite color despite my colorblindness rendering my to be unable to see it sometimes. I went by another username on these boards for years too, but I consider that in the past now.
Transformers: Animated joke. People will have those things like "OptimusPrime42", or "Starscream79", and since Ramjet was the "liar", I went with "Not Ramjet97"
Shamelessly got the "Belgrath" name (had it changed in '04, original name lost to history) from the good ol' Team Fortress (Quake version) years back when dial-up internet was a thing
Just Transformers-esque name that popped in my head mixed with word ,,Side wing". It started as my Steam name and it stays like this. Simple as that.
Nah man, the name is pretty cool. At least I knew what it referenced immediately. Mine is a mis-spelling of the race the Predators come from. A damn mis-spelling.
The factors of my username- -I was 12 -ninjas are cool -my name is Nick -tf=transformers I hate this username so much.
Tried to make my own comic as a teen - Solarstorm was the name of the main character. Not transformer-related. It was spring or summer. We had "sun showers" (rain while the sun was out) and I was joking/thinking about what it would be like to take that phrasing literally - the sun showering down on us sounded destructive. Solarstorms are an actual phenomenon in outer space, so it was a name that encapsulated my ideas. The character controlled the sun/energy and could radiate it outwards,causing all nearby sources of light (lightbulbs, etc...) to overload and randomly fire off energy blasts - showering down destruction. Wild, out of control, like a storm. Came up with it right around the time eHobby released an exclusive seeker reissue, named Sunstorm. I don't remember which came first. I used to claim Takara/eHobby "ripped me off" but who knows. I might have seen a photo or a rumor or something and had it in the back of my mind. It's not like big coroporations have interest in or the means to take ideas from teenagers. Plus, the rest of the story was pretty derivative. Humans being an experiment (ala Guyver). Religion being a method of manipulating + controlling us - with miracles and gods being aliens using advanced tech. The character hunting down Gods and trying to remake reality (some of my old ideas being similar to the Lucifer comics, which I didn't read back then, but might have read about while skimming/browsing the earlier days of the net). Etc...
Nah it's sick af everything to do with Dark Souls rules completely. ....I joined this place when I was like. 12. I have this really longstanding OC called "Vataris", and its followers were collectively called... Vatarians. Because I was like 6 when I made the whole deal up and 1st-grade me wasn't exactly George R.R. Fuckin Martin. ...Can't really do anything about it. Pretty sure you have to pay to change your handle.
This has been my handle ever since I first joined AOL in the mid 90s...the good old days of dial up. It's just smoke shortened to smk and spy, So smoke spy. AOL...fuck I feel old.
