It's the name of a character I created for role-playing when I was a little kid. I liked it and used it for practically everything online, so I keep using to maintain an overall internet identity.

I had an idea for stories about a character I'm named after and it just stuck. Plus 14's my lucky number.

My name sis simply a nickname my old best friend used to call me.
He moved away when I was 13, but by then I had gotten used to having the name in games and the likes.
And well, it's a nice reminder of when we used to hang out.

Two reasons really, its the name of am album i really really love alongside the other artists work(yeah silly I know,but then I was like that when I was 14).

The second reason, which was completely accidental was when i found out the sexual slang meaning of it. Well, it suits me, man lover that I am.

I chose mine because the original name I wanted was taken. I thought chromewarrior sounded cool and then I add XIII (13) to just make it different. Now it's sorta stuck with me.

Reaperman= Great book, and I love the Grim Reaper.

Wompa= To quote Urban dictionary: Cincinnati/Columbus vernacular; slang, adj. describing a person, place, thing, situation, event, or idea that is highly upsetting or unfavorable; slang, n. a person, place, situation, etc. that is highly unfavorable or upsetting. derived from the Latin, "wompus," meaning: "To bear curly purple hair and goggles." Sometimes incorrectly spelled "wampa."

And I liked the sound of it.

mine was conceived from my nick name, which is Chicken.
I was talking to some friends on a multi-conversation on MSN when it was MSN messenger, and one person called me Mr poultry to me and since her user name was "running with scissors wasn't smart, i tripped over and cut open your heart", i said "i will rip out your heart nevermind scissors" then a big argument started out and people got upset and shit.
So all my usernames are now Mr poultry.

My first time playing GTA IV online at a friends, I found a glitch when playing against one guy, which caused the bus I was in to become invunerable.

So I shot out the tires, and drifted in front of him, mocking him horribly

I did not pick this name. I wish I could have picked my own name, then it would have said:

Aurelia [mail icon here]
Muckraker

[picture of a cute tiger here]

But instead, my parents chose "Mariena".

Get it yet? No? Damn, I'm supposed to be the blonde one here! It's my first name.

Morpheus, the greek god of sleeps and dreams(well, maybe hypnos is the god of sleep)

I was always intrigued by the world of dreams, a place where anything goes, you are free to do as you please. You are anything, and anything can happen. Thats why I am such a big fan of escapism(hence my love of gaming, movies,most literature and the power of imagination). I am also a mythology nut and since my name and the nickname both begins with the letter "M" so it seemed like a good idea. Also, My friends kept calling me by this name so it just stuck.... Also, I watched the matrix and loved that bald guy with sun glasses because he reminded me of a black joe satriani.

Oh and the Leet? Easy to remember since most of my accounts use this name, my friends made me use leet and When I was younger, I thought it looked cool.(not anymore, though)

Actually mine comes from the name of a comic book character I made when I was a freshman in high school. It was a pretty pathetic little comic, my first real attempt to draw even, and at the start it was all stick men. As it progressed they resembled human shapes. By about my sophomore year of high school, some of my friends who read the comic started referring to me as Bazooka Bob jokingly, even though the word "Bazooka" or any variation of the name "Robert" is in my actual name. The name just sort of stuck at that point, and has become many of my various user names, or some variation of it has if someone else hasn't already claimed it on the site I'm using it on.

yeah, I did it once upon a time, and even then I got boo'd.

anyway, my name on this forum is so old that I wouldn't be able to tell you where it came from. I used to have some bullshit story for how I got it, but it's just something I liked the sound of as a kid, and I kept it with me for almost 15 years now.

my other two major online names I do have some better stories for. Dirkin was the name of a D&D character (gnome mage) that I brought over to a MUD called Darkover. I played that for 8 years, so Dirkin is fairly ingrained into me, as I was referred to as Dirkin or Dirk for so long.

Another major one (my Gamertag for instance) is Volent, which came from a pair of elves I made with my GF on WoW. She was Maleve, and I was Volent, and together, we were Malevolent (I thought it was pretty cool at the time).. I've kept it around as I like the name.

Another one I use on some other forums is Nelo, which came from Devil May Cry (In fact, it used to be NeloAngelo, but I removed the Angelo, because people online are stupid and think "angel" automatically means girl.)

NewClassic has been my iconic forum and game-account moniker for quite some time now, roughly 8 or so years (which makes me feel exceedingly old). It came from spending a week in the woods, hunting down the highly elusive oxymoron...

Okay, in all seriousness, it was a decision for an oxymoron after about 15 minute's thought, and realizing I thoroughly liked the username. From then on out, it's stuck with me through several forums, games, blogs, writing sites, and what have you. Hitting me up on Google will likely net you a large collection of my various accounts from places. (And several furniture outlets, oddly enough.)

The history is rather boring, but the (ever-evolving) avatar (and accompanying persona) have a lot more life and history to them.

I do like the name, for all of its simplicity. I'm sure the locals like it, too. Probably because it does a lot of community-centric writing, the self-centered lot they are. (Just kidding, gents. You know I love you all.)

My name was given to me a year or so back by some friends while playing Gears of War. Since I almost always was the first one to die they started calling me Kenny, you know from South Park. Though in that same game I killed the entire other team at least three times over and so I eventually got the "Conqueror" part. Put them both together and you have yourself my name.
