    I'll go first. Mine was an old username that I had deleted all of the accounts off of. When I came up with it originally, I was sitting next to my cat. This happened in the year 2006. Real creative right?

    So, how did you come up with your username?? (Remember, no off-site contact info.)

    Not really sure to be honest.. But I've always had a fascination for dragons.

    Mine was a nickname people used in another game in which I went by Fuglah. I had a lot of close friends in there and it just kinda stuck ^,^

    I've been thinking about changing my last name for a while, so my username is the last name I'm planning on taking, I'm trying it on so to say. I added my birth year onto the end mostly out of habit since most of my usernames have it.

    Since I was a baby my dad has always called me bear so there is the bear part of my name, and of course I would never be able to just get off with my user name being bear I needed something to set it apart. My birthday the 5th of April - 0504, and there we have it, Bear0504.

    Mine comes from fencing. When they set the fencers en garde, they have to say "ready... fence," and at high level events, they direct in French. The literal translation is from "On guard, ready, go!" -> "En garde, prêt, allez!" All three words were too long, so I took the last two.

    Also, is it possible to get my username changed to Prêt Allez, or are special characters not allowed?

    So I was right. I love that song ^_^.


    Anyway, my all time favorite name is Genevieve, which has two nicknames(Three is you count Eve). Gen and Gene. However, Gen is unisex. Not to mention, its easy to remember :slight_smile:.

    Mine just stands for Michigan Lower Peninsula because it is were I am from, although some people have asked me if it stands for my little pony, I didn't really think that through.

    "Mogget" is the name of the cat/demon that serves the Abhorsens in the Old Kingdom Trilogy.

    I went to Wikipedia and looked up random physics topics until I found one that sounded like a decent username. "Tetraquark" would be a type of particle consisting of four quarks; however, their existence is not consistent with current models.

    I like black cats. I own a black cat. And I wanted something kind of enigmatic and untraceable, as this was my first online account that my family didn't know about. Plus I wasn't sure how much I'd divulge to the other people of EC, but in my time spent here I've shared more information than ever before. The black cat has become something of a personal symbol for growth in my life now, chiefly because of it being my username here. :slight_smile:

    Level75 refers to how the level cap in Final Fantasy 11 was 75 for a majority of the game's life until about the last year and a half or so, where it was slowly increased to 99.

    The Chimera is a mythical animal made up of parts from different animals, with the most famous being a she-monster that's part lion, goat, and serpent. I love mythical creatures, and it feels appropriate for my mixed up identity. Also, my regular username is too easily traceable.

    Oh, and my icon is a quirky Ouroboros :slight_smile:
