Hello rmxp members!
Today i came across a random thought and was
trying to fully remember where i got my alias or webname from

I originally got my name from Runescape a free online multiplayer mmorpg game and was originally a skiller. My name was JoKo Tree which JoKo was something i came up with for a random tree type. It the changed into many forms like Sniper JoKo, AyBxJoKo, JoKo and... JoKo Loco.

I would love to see where you guys got your names from or the crazy story behind it.

If you would like to see my runescape char its JoKo Loco lol.

Well tell me your story nowwww!!!!

*Edit* thanks to all who have given there story so far

My story:

First I couldn't make up a name.

Then I came up with one.

The End.

[ShinyToyGuns]

Mine is NOT named after my favorite band...who the hell does that?

[Foxkit]

Hmm, Mine? Mine came from an obsession with wolves that seeped over to foxes. I go by Alpha - wolf 2 in some places due to my first time using it I registered a ridiculous amount of times. I ussually go by DizzyFoxkit now because I was into Pivot when I was younger and my "idol" during those days was DizzyDuck man. Not much more too it.

[kaboth]

Same that Meteor said. ;b

[Chief]

Mine has some interesting backstory... lol

So, when I first really got inspired with the Internet, and decided to learn more about forums and all that (I was about 10 years old... shameful, haha), I found a neat little forum about RPG Maker. I thought nothing special of this forum, as it was really the first one I had really encountered.

Off on a quick tangent; after a little while of being there, I met a member named "Don Miguel" and it turned out to be the guy who originally translated RPG maker 2000 to English, so I feel kind of blessed for having met a true legend, lol

Anyways, my username there was RPG_nOOb or something like that. I was truly a clueless idiot, but I aimed to change that, thats why I was there. Anyways, there was a period where I went inactive, then came back, but my account had been erased for inactivity. I decided to just register again. I Then chose to be RPG Villager. I dont know what I was thinking, but hey, I was young. I decided to pretend to be really good at making websites and graphics, but they all caught on and made fun of me for it. I was terrible, lol

But, their laughter and jest towards me was my true motivator. I wouldnt be as good as I am now without their... criticism, lol. So, after being the "villager" for a while, I decided to step it up. Then, on another forum, I joined as "Chief" because its a lot better than just the villager, because the Chief is the leader! I was still young... lol. Anyways, my "notoriety" spread, and the name stuck. I quite enjoy the simplicity of the name, and it certainly sets me apart, I feel. Anyways, thats it, lol

[gRaViJa]

Gravija is a cool attack in Final Fantasy 8 (my favourite rpg). But when I was like 14, I thought it would be cool to write it with random caps... I regret nothing!

[Polraudio]

Mine is very odd but here it goes. I use to share a Runescape account with once of my friends who showed me Runescape. My friend changed the password one day and i went to get it from him and he wrote it down but didnt write it down good enough. The password was polkaudio(the speakers). He had bad penmanship so the K looked like an R so after getting the password wrong i thought it would look like an awesome username and that's how i got Polraudio. Been using Polraudio since 2001.

My username is still so unique you get nothing but my stuff when you google my username(unless when people used my username which i seen on a few porn sites. Sadly ).

[Mr.Fiasco]

Sooo yea Fiasco means Big Fail learned it in English 11 and that was the day I actually decided to make an rmxpu account instead of just looking. And I was like hmmmm Mr. sounds nice. THE END

[Noob Saibot]

I'm user name whore, but I do have the few I use on a few sites (about game making and not):

All user names with a * means I have never used them on this site/community.

Orachii/Orochii --- Is short for Orochimaru which is associated with Snakes and character in the Anime, Naruto.

Gaara* --- Gaara is one of my Favorite characters in Naruto.

Hebi Kumo --- Stands for: Snake Spider and I used it because I find Snakes and Spiders fascinating.

Kage Kazumi --- Stands for: Shadow Mist and I use it the most and because many people don't like the fact I can sneak up on them with out them knowing...I should be an assassin.

Noob Saibot --- my favorite Mortal Kombat character.

Other Names I have used, but no longer do:

Hedge Knight --- Comes from the Graphic Novel, The Hedge Knight which is the prequel to the novel series, "A Song of Ice and Fire." Which I happen to like.

Jack Sparrow* --- I liked the movies, but later got tired of the user name (only ever used it on RMRK.net).

Scar* --- Used on gamingw.net after getting banned (user name only banned); got the idea from Lion King.

Otaku --- Has two meanings: 1) Originally お宅 otaku meant house - and as nerds and geeks tend to hang out in their house the word for them became Otaku 2) In Western cultures the word Otaku has been taken to refer to people who are specifically into Japanese Anime, Games, Cosplay, etc. I used it to show my likeness of Anime. Only ever used it on a Anime Video site and here back in the day (like 2008).

Keven* --- Used it only on Invisionize and it is my first name.

[madanchi]

what an interesting topic

I originally whent by the alias of aaron2k2 as I created my first email in 2002 and began the internet storm from then on

I'm not going to give the full story but, in AOE2 the Persian civilisation has villagers that say the word "Madanchi". This si where my Madanchi alias comes from It also means 'stone miner' which made it more great

edit: oh and another occasional alias is Auxacto - said Orx (au) Acto

Yes i think it is interesting to and i really appreciate how a lot of people have joined in and told me there story ^.^, And it amazes me to see how everyone somewhere and somehow with there own imagination, creativty, likes and dislikes, come together at one place with different names but understand each other. I love every single one of you (in a brotherly way) and am glad to say im apart of this community

*edit* sorry when i'm tired or not paying attention i have even worse grammar and suck at spelling...xD

[gRaViJa]

I use the name SognaVetr for gaming btw. It's a weird way to say "cold winter" in old norse + it is a tribute to a band called Windir ->

Sogna = a region in Norway that has cold winters. Also the place where Windir comes from, and they are the founders of Sognametal.

Vetr = (old?) norse for Winter.

Now that is some deep sh*t. I should blog about it.

[rgangsta]

I used to make comics back in middle school using actual people in my life as the characters. My character's name was RG. R standing for Roody (my real name) and G standing for gangster. The comic was gangster themed. One day, I was moving and my friends asked me for my e-mail. I didn't own a computer so I told them rg@yahoo.com, that way once I go to my new place, I could just make that e-mail. I forgot but maybe it was too short or taken but "rg" didn't work. That's why it's "rdyinnocent" now.
Anyway, I signed up for a forum and "rg" was too short. So I decided to just write out the whole thing as RGangsta. From then on, it's been rgangsta ever since. From 2006 and still going.
Google me.

Dude, that's an awesome story! It's always awesome to be able to look back on past accomplishments; to see how such trivial knowledge can turn into a profession. And you're hella' awesome at web design now! :>
