GrayKaiser82 was my previous and sheep name, but when i saw myself in the mirror.... I found out I was not a human.

I finally get to know myself as a supercar, a.k.a. "Veyron" (-w-")
Kept the "Gray" due it's my second favorite colour, spaced my two words, boop!

Ilfri derives from the original name- Ifrit. The goddess of fire & destruction. Changed it up by taking out the T and adding an L... Ilfri is a name I use now for almost every game and also in real life. I have tons of people IRL who call me Ilfri and I love it ^^

because people keep asking me:

back in RuneScape there was a Soul Wars clan for level 120+ players whose generals chose a random side that everyone would join for each game. the goal was that the side with stronger players would almost always win. the clan was hosted by xxdeathx.

It came from a friend because he thought I needed a new nickname (he used to just call me fag/faggot).
So Everyone started calling me that and yeah.

Also you still haven't fought me at Town Center, Drum Drum.

my original username was "essamaneira" well it came from a title of that song. i saw it on dance arcade named "xceed"
Then i change my name into E s s a, which is coincidentally my shorthand of my whole real name. :)

edit 1: i didn't know it was a portuguese word at first

Welp, my name in RL.




About my previous username, TheNutritiousGuy... it's my old name as Let's Player on YouTube which was just a "random" name at this time. At all it became to a pun and weirdly (more) famous in the german community.

Naru - from the same word as the Ghost Hunt's MC's nickname, I chose it because it sounds fun.
20 - my real name if you write it in hiragana and read in katakana.

When I was something like 7 or 8 years old, my brother was playing World of Warcraft, he wanted to show me the game so he created a blood elf paladin and called him Znation and let me play a bit. I kinda kept it for everything, but when that username is taken I use Yukio-san, probably because I watched a few episodes of Ao no Exorcist with my brother, and I like that name so I also kept it and added -san for whatever reason.
If I can't chose too then I take a random japanese name and add something like -chan or -san.
Damn, I realize that I don't have any imagination for names when I read that :o

so then i signed in with it on osu! and it's stuck with me for a while
