I played a long time ago at Warcraft 3 (2003-2004) and i really loved Taurens.
So my firsst username was Tauren34 and it became after some months toren34.
In 2010 i created an account on League Of Leagends but toren34 was already use so i decided to revrese letters in my name and it became nerot34.
On Steam, nerot was already take so i put some numbers within and n3r0t was born.

The end. :D
tl;dr : Tauren34 > toren34 > nerot34 > nerot > n3r0t

I found out about Yoshi first while playing Mario Party 4 on the GameCube back in 2nd grade or something and I found it really cute

I outgrew my obsession for Yoshi and it turned into just a love for green things because Yoshi's natural colour is green so by the time I arrived here, Yoshi_green seemed fitting

I never changed my username yet, but if I were to ever change it, Yoshi777 would probably be my choice since that's what I use on Youtube and other games that don't allow underscores in usernames ~

My nick doesn't really have any cool backstory.
I used to change my Steam nick all the time and most of my friends were all the time like "who were you again??" and then I thought that I'd change my nick to something that atleast resembled a word from my language even a bit, and also I had a thing for having a number or two in my nick, so I just kept on thinking about some words and then this just popped into my head.
Finnish people will probably recognize the word from my name.

I chose my username 'Tattoos' because I love the look of tattoos, the feeling of having art on your body just seems really cool. I myself don't have any Tattoos but as soon as I am able to get one, I'm going too. (Hopefully I will have a few in the next few years) :3

Well a friend wanted to do a collab and in order to make it official and cool, we changed our "shiety" usernames to the main characters .

The reason why that - is there in my name is because the original is already taken ( and abandoned ! )

So yeah, no more SupaWolfTiga .w.

Being the weeb I am before, I pick NezuminX01 as my first username here. Months passed, bought a supporter tag
and changed it to my current username here and it's obviously from Touhou. Hatate Himekaidou.
Since someone's already using that, even only Hatate, I decided that why not add -tan in it? (to sound kinda cute? oh gosh lol)

Basically, I suck at naming my usernames ever since I was a weeb. lol. :o

Wanted to play this shitty browser game as kid a called Dragonfable. Couldn't think of a name so I asked my sister. We just watched the Eragon movie like the other night so she said to go with "Bengon" which was a mix of my name Benyamin and Eragon. I thought the name was kinda lame at first, but It kinda grew on me as I tended to use it frequently as I was bad at naming things. I've used Bengon as username for shit ever since.

My former username was Gurc, which stands for Raven if you write it with a Hebrew keyboard.
new user name (Rise ofcourse) originated from me being called Rize on twitch streams from my twitch username (RizeUpObamama) please ignore the Obamama part, it was from a typo someone made about obama :^) lol

since I couldn't change to Rize yet (someone is already named that), I decided to change it to Rise just to make it more obvious who I was, and my Twitch is now Osu_Rise.

it's kind of a shitty reason but I kinda grew into liking the name more and more over the few months I had it.

Mmm Before I was iZomgX3 which was stolen from one of my friends from a long time ago haha.
Uhh after awhile people kept being like "i-... i zom guuuu??" and even I got confused as to how it would be pronounced haha.
Sooo I switched to kutora which originally came from Chris being my irl name into Kurisu and I used a kanji for Ku (Beni) for crimson and I was just like... what's cool.. TIGERS.. THOSE ARE COOL sooo kutora (紅虎)
Also just using kutoraOsu for Twitter and Twitch because kutora was taken :c

My previous username is Heatwave95. I don't know why the heck I choose this name as my username hahaha. obviously 95 comes from 1995.

and now my name is HeatKai because I wanted to throw those numbers away and that "Kai" comes from another user Sekai-nyan. It's like a combination name between us two. I changed the username to HeatKai years ago. I don't know why I choose this name but I still love it. :3

My name originates from my very first email that I made when I was around the age of 9. It's in Swedish and the translation is "big guy 1997", so it's a kinda embarrassing name. If (?) I get support Ill be changing it to Zeptinn which is a nickname I now more commonly use.
