Mine's not very original.

Back when I was playing Star Wars: Battlefront (which was the first time I was really involved with any sort of internet community) I started using the username Redleader and have been using it (or variations of it) ever since.

Hehe, I've begun using Red where possible because I'm a very militant redhead.
Reudh, as I said earlier is a warped version of Red in Gaelic- Ruadh.

I just stole the name of a fish. Sorta boring i guess.

It's boring until you realize there's a fish called a monkey-faced prickleback.

My wife gave me mine on the day we first met. Long story short: we had been flirting via msn for a while and she wanted to meet. Immediatley after arranging this I hit my head hard on a shelf and lost a lot of blood. Determined not to stand her up I still showed up, where she went all soppy and said "aww my monkey-head", as apparently my shaved and bleeding head looked a lot like a monkeys. Nearly 15 years later and its still a good username.

The story of 'Noah's Ark' which preserved the upper world's life and 'the Ark of the Covenant' which approaching and being unworthy kills you. A tribute to everything that didn't survive because it wasn't found worthy.

After googling it only 32 initial results came up, Half in Chinese and a few about "The DarkFallen". 5 of them are me.

it started with guild wars and a obsession with pie in early adolescent. in the game you need a first and last name, uber pie was already taken.

thus came uber pye.

shadenight123 was originally Shade of the night.
then some usernames didn't cover all those letters, but shadenight was taken.
so i stuck to the 123 figuring that, worst to worst, by rearranging them through strange gibberish mathematics, i'd alway have a mean to display my age.
Now it's (2*3+1)*3=21
soon it will be (2*3+1)*3+1=22

We were given accounts to school computers many years ago and mine was johuotar. 2 letters from first name and 6 from last name. Im the only one who was so unoriginal that I insisted on using it everywhere as far as I know. At least its not too common and I really like it now after years of use. My friends actually call me 'johu' irl nowadays so its almost like my real name now.

When you do a google search of some random name like, say, 'Johuotar', you get some youtube channel and a few forum accounts, including a b12 one.

When you do a google search of 'Max White' you get blinded with cleaning products. I am internet ninja.

Heh. Do the same thing with my name and you don't get anything related to me either.

My name runs on rule of cool. At least I thought so. This is the only place I use it, but it's very quickly become my favorite.

Hmph.

Well this is my 2nd bay12 account, (the first being lost somewhere in the pages of my memory), and it struck me.
What is a really freaking awesome name? ~ As I decided to resign on bay12.

It has to be related to me = Has to be an oxymoron.

Then a forgotten beast, an amber turtle with the body of a great lizard ate my sandwich, and I thought:

LOUD WHISPERS! CAPS LOCKS MAKES THE VOICE IN YOUR HEAD WHISPER LOUDLY!!!

And then many ninjas assaulted me on all directions with copper kusarigamas, which everyone knows are freaking lightsabres, and I fought in Thermopylae for 91 days and nights.

Like I said about Reudh, I thought I'd expound a little more. I used to roleplay him as an eccentric weirdo who is... tolerated by most, save his closest friend Sir Kitt, a Temple Knight.
