Why did you choose your username?

[Jappert]

I actually preferred [you] as an username, but well, it was unavailable 

you know your not aloud to use the code outside that humor topic

Apart from spelling allowed, Kitty is right! Don't use that code please.

Jappert has been my nickname since kindergarten and it always stayed that way. It's been my name through years of gaming now, so a pretty obvious choice.

[Bieber4Ever98]

My name is just shorter version of my real name.

[gavsword]

I was developing a game with some classmates for a while and was in charge of story/NPC development. My favorite character that fit into the story was named Gavran, which is a name I use for a lot of things. When I came to register on Kong, Gavran was already taken so I used Gavsword (or Gav's Word) as my username. When I signed up here I used the same name since I started playing elements on Kong.

[Astrocyte]

so I used Gavsword (or Gav's Word) as my username.

Ha, I've totally been reading it as "Gav sword" this whole time.

[TheForbiddenOracle]

so I used Gavsword (or Gav's Word) as my username.

Ha, I've totally been reading it as "Gav sword" this whole time.

Ditto

[EvaRia]

My username is an old and long story...

In like grade 6 we did a school project to design your own island. On my island you could find certain gemstones, and one of them was "Etheria".

After that, my friend was making a sort of universe thing, where he mapped out planets and stuff, and we were thinking of names. I offered "Etheria" as one, and he misheard me and wrote Evaria instead. It became the Ice planet...

Since then I started to like using Evaria as a character name.

But at around grade 8 I started to think a lot, and one of my thoughts was basically:
What could you do if you had perfect control of the air?

After things like Flying, Air Pressure, Wind Cutter and stuff, I thought of temperature extremes.

If you could control the temperature of air, you could make it so cold that things freeze over instantly, or so hot that they set fire and burn.

I attributed this "Control" of air to the name Evaria that I liked so much, and started to create a character around it. (I was influenced by anime.)

There's sort of a split personality. Eva is the "Chillwind", and represents the cold extremes of temperature in the air.
Ria is the "Searwind", and represents the hot extremes.

I started to play around with how to represent the 2 together.

EVA:RIA, eva/ria, etc.

I finally settled on EvaRia, which is the username I try to use the most now. (If it's not taken)

[Seraph]

My username was derived from my name, and has no relation to flying angels that seem to have a particular affinity to fire.
My name is Indian, but I live in America, so many of my elementary and middle school teachers pronounced my name wrong. Through years of mispronunciation, I can't pronounce my own name right, even in mostly Indian parties or family reunions. My name sound pretty close to Seraph, or sometimes Sir-Half (on Smogon [competitive pokemon]).

[migster99]

My user name has a very small part of my name Miguel, Mig-. -ster and 99 were just random.

[Higurashi]

I actually preferred [you] as an username, but well, it was unavailable 

wat. Bahahaha. I beat you to it, eh? There's only one way to settle this. How long have you been using Higurashi for? I'm at 9 years in total. (yes, this is a joke)

Why did I choose it? Well, I was actually reading about Japanese culture and happened upon the cicada by this name. The duskbringer. It rises when the sun goes down. There's a lot of backstory as to why it fit my mood at the time. Maybe I'll disclose some of it in time.

About a month later I found the anime and facepalmed because I knew everyone would assume I got it from there.
