How did you come up with your name?

[Kubius]

It came into being over a decade ago. Its origin is shrouded in secret.

Ingame name (Geoff Holmes) I remember better - back when I first used it, Geoff was a super common first name in SS13 (the age's equivalent of "Graves" nowadays), and the suffix "Holmes" sounded like a nice pairing - made the name as a whole roll off the tongue.

Alternate character's name (Weyoun Butterfill) has similar origins. The first name is styled after the Dominion fella from Star Trek (and who I attempted to base the appearance off of), and the latter was, again, a common name back in the day.

[Mageziya]

i was like, 8, and came up with a really cool sounding word and made it my first username online.

Problem is that I couldn't phonetically spell. Also, the word I sound doesn't really use proper English conventions, even though I'm a native English speaker?

A correct spelling would be closer to "Muhgeezeeya"

I got lucky in that my broken spelling breaks into "Mage Ziya"

I rarely play SS13 anymore, but my name in there was "Arme F. McGee"

Arme comes from the German word for "poor", either in terms of being down on your luck or of having little wealth. It's also the feminine.. conjugation or whatever of the word, which has confused people in the game before, even though they didn't know what the word meant.

F. was added randomly after playing for a bit. It doesn't stand for anything.

McGee comes from Mageziya. For some reason people calling me "Mage" a lot resulted in me using the name online at points.

[Vitatroll]

Edit: more like my teen years really

Haah. I do that a lot these days. "Oh, yeah, I played that as a kid. Wait. No. I was 16... eh, same difference."

Getting old is a strange beast.

Mageziya: I pronounce yours as Mag-eh-zeeya. I'm probably 8. Also southern.

edit: Mine is pronounced "ass-hole", by the way.

[Mageziya]

You're the closest I've ever seen anyone get, Vitatroll.

Also I keep seeing your name as short for "Vitamin Troll". Vita-Troll.

One final thing I forgot to mention is that you can basically read "Arme McGee" as a saying "Poor McGee." This is in part because back in like, 2010-2011 I played another McGee who got banned. Thus is history.

[Arvious]

(resurrected my old ass forum account for this, so hopefully it's interesting?)

Back when the Donut Gibbed servers were still around, some admin had set the gamemode to vampire for a while, to test the mechanics of it or something.  Anyways, I was really hoping to get to play as one, and, at the time, I was into dumb gimmick names for roles, so I changed my name to:

Albert Ulysses Card
(for some reason I thought this was clever, it wasn't)

Didn't get to play a vamp, so that was a bust, but the name stuck, and Albert Card the Detective/Sec Officer was born.  Recreated the name when I came back after I stopped playing for a few years, but I'm more likely to play as Marshmallow Fluff nowadays.

Uh, no unnecessarily long and thought out reasoning for Fluffy, though, I just like food names.

[lambskin]

Bone Lord is a bit of an injoke with my friend group. Plus i feel it pays homage to Lord Doom so I felt it was appropriate.

[ProfessorHugedix]

Regular Human was my kneejerk response to how cool I thought vampire and changeling antagonists were when I joined and my desire to play as them while blending in seamlessly. It's a name that has grown on me over time, to the point where I recently updated my character inspect text to be a bunch of shit about how average and unremarkable my guy is. That and it's given me a burning passionate rivalry with a new player called Normal Man

[Space_Cola]

I like middle initials, hyphenated last names (since I have one IRL) and when space is used as a prefix.

Thus Richard X. Space-Cola was born. Then I got bored of that and decided to start using the random name option, the first of which just happened to be Flip Judge which I thought was hilarious, so it stuck.

Ask me to judge your flip if you see me around.

[Wisecrack34]

Wisecrack34 came from a particularly good match of Goldeneye 64 where I was able to make puns and quips about 3 times per enemy life (Which was short). About 2 days later I was thinking back on it whilst making a profile on [Not Telling] and went with Wisecrack, found that taken so I added a 3 because 3 is a good number. I later lost my account password and the Email had been long forgotten so I added a 4 not knowing what it would come to reference till it did.

Ereven Nailo was one of my favorite D&D OC's I've ever made, Dimitro Izyaslav was my great grandfather's name and any other account i've went by was a shitpost (Snow Miser, Doc, Camille Guryeves, etc.)

[Superlagg]

One day, I was looking up Kentucky congresspeople for names I could use as stock short-bit characters in The Specialists Roleplay, and I came across a one senator Dan Kelly. I liked the name, it was short, unpretentious, and potentially kinda androgynous, which made it a great replacement to my old Joe Joename. And, thus, it stuck.

Superlagg, it's pretty simple; I used to play online games with a 56k modem long into the era of DSL. Little did I know that it'd stay relevant even to this day.

[CandleCandleCandles]

First I went by Candlekeeper. Combination of Candlekeep from the Forgotten Realms setting with... well, er. Eventually I felt like it didn't flow well, and everyone called me Candle or Candy anyways, so I started shifting over to the CandleCandleCandles moniker.

[Captain Sheepy]

Preston Suffolk came from playing The Sims 1 nearly 10 or so years ago. I had named the family "Suffolk" after the breed of sheep and made the household an odd couple of old men. Preston was the ginger goatee'd, business suit wearing one who later died in a fire, semi-on purpose. I had made a shit post video montage (that's no longer available sadly) of them all failing at everyday tasks while killers.mp3 played in the background. Kinda fitting I guess.

[babayetu83]

i came up with babayetu after i got banned for the 8th or 9th time from tg or lla and i decided to play here
