1.) My hair colour is jet black
2.) I usually wear black clothes (No, I am not gothic)
3.) One of my favorite colours is black
4.) It is my favourite animal and bird
5.) It reminds me of my favourite poem by Edgar Allen Poe, "The Raven"(Nevermore)
6.) It is the government name in my favourite video game, Armoured Core.

Now that this name seems so general, I have chosen a slightly different and more creative name on my own board, Raven_Vicious. Because of all the things above and my vicious mouth, attitude, and ambition.

I am the Guardian of ThunderRealm, a world created by myself.

My other names that I've used in different places
-5Braker
-Atticus
-Hiensan

My previous (dumped) ideas were,
-Storm Raven
-Dark Raven
-War Hawk

Most people believe since I have the nickname of a fruit that my story behind my name is short and meaningless but its symbolic and very personal to me.


My user name is Apple, It is short for Apple Sauce. A name I have used on the internet since the ninth grade (3 and a half years ago).

9th grade, second period. Adv. Algebra. I was sitting in class, behind Ryan and infront of Dan. Talking about some random bullshit when I noticed I lost my sodapop money and I asked them both for 2 bucks (I usually buy 2). Ryan was like "Buying a pop" and I was like "No, I'm walking down to Safeway to buy some fucking apple sauce". They laughed at it and didn't take me seriously. So when Lunch came (we got 50 minutes for it), I started walking down to Safeway to buy my apple sauce.

Ryan was driving to Safeway with his friends and stopped and picked me up, we went to safeway. I bought my apple sauce, opened it up, and drunk it from the jar. I started to walk back when they invited me to go to Taco Bell with them and so I did. We hung out for like 30 minutes, it was cool. I was there with the 4 most popular kids in school and all of which were very old friends of mine (elmentry), one of which was my best friend at a point in time. I got back to school and while walking to class after lunch, I walked past some elmentry children and I talked to them and gived them candy I bought with my left over change. Than went to class where I drunk all the apple sauce (and the values hated me for it later). The next day I was walking to the same class and the little kids were like "Its the apple sauce kid". All in all it was the best lunch day of my life so far and over all was one of the best days of my life. I got to hang out with a man I idolized since I could remember (Ryan). It also showed me that just because I drifted from old friends and they got insanely popular where as I choice to stay away from that crowd, doesn't mean they are bad people. It got me out of that "I hate preps" stage, which really made high school easier for me.

I was on the internet and I really needed an user name and I used Apple Sauce since "The Apple Sauce kid" was too long. The name stuck. I started to grow tired of the Apple Sauce name but that weekend I was at the movies when I got word that Ryan took his own life so I decided to keep it since everytime I read my user name I remember that day and its my way as never forgetting.

Everyone calls me apple and the sauce is starting to seem a little childish so I just used apple here.

Well i chose my username from a nickname i got during my freshman year. My hair was so long a couple of seniors confused it for a mullet, so when i walked by they'd scream MULLET!!!! I figured it was an ok nick name and i still just go to the movies and people will scream "mullet!" when they see me. So that's why my username is mullet and well to put this post to a close june 20th is my birthday which is why i used 620.

hey if we ever hold a poll to show which reason for having your username is the best then apple wins hands down..raven second just because the poem "The Raven"(Nevermore) is awesome...before reading this I thought poetry was all....

Anything online for me has the word Kirby in it. So I started there. Then my mind drifted to what I could add. I couldnt be just Kirby. So I stuck on all the way and... here I am.

Here we go again...

Back in 1998 I saw a movie called Anastasia, which was the first cartoon movie done by FOX. After watching the movie, I wanted to learn more about the real history of the Romanovs, especially abouty the history of their youngest daughter, Anastasia She started to remind me of myself, and after a while, I took "Anya", which means resurrection, or she will rise again, as a nickname and when I started to go online in 1999, I started to use it as an online alias and as a character in my stories/SF.

I simply chose JJ64 because it's easy to remember...

JJ are my initials, and 64 is just some random number.

I was Gandalf The Grey before, but since I'm really fond of the SNES game Rudra no Hihou (yes, I'm using these three words again ) and I'm using that animated sprite since about one and a half year, I chose to get close to the char's name :

Surlent

In IRC I'm using that name even longer.

The char seems to have slight similarities to my behaviour.
He is no perfect mage or hero and even makes mistakes (see his chapter in the game - like in that phase when he loses his body and is sent to the Netherworld), relatively calm but seems to be wise
And that animation simply rocks again and again

Mine was random. Hell, I just made it up on the spot. And the thing is, it's still here after 2 years.

My first one was moo117. I got that from when I was entering my initials into LoZ:LttP (They're MPS). When I got to the P, I screwed up by hitting O. I figured "What the hell", and put in another O. 11/7 is my birthday.

The Nighthawks = a guild of assassins in a series of sci-fi/fantasy books I enjoy reading now and again.
I started using that as an alias for online games, and then it just moved with me everywhere else I went online.

I've started using my real name in other places though... but it's not like I'm going to give it out here.

I'm the fuzzy evil. That can be roughly translated to Kyoufu Kawa in Japanese.

The whole "li'l sister" suffix is mental insanity speaking.

Apple, people were driving cars in 9th grade!? How old do you have to be to drive over there?

My nickname comes from the Heiankyo, capital of Japan from 794 (when the emperor Kwanmu laid out the city) and 1868 (when the emperor was moved to Tokyo). "Heian" means "peace".*

If any of you live here as well, head over to the Gion Matsuri tomorrow. Worth seeing.

* - The usual word for peace is "heiwa", though.

When I was 8 I made a typo from racoon to Dracoon. I was playing an online game and Dracoon was taken so I used Dracoonx4. So now I randomly switch between the names without absolutly any reason what so ever. I am starting to think of a new name though, because I am bored with this 6 year old one.

Mine's the name of a character in FF Tactics. I liked the name so I used it. I'm not creative enough to come up with my own name
