Player Name Origins

Posted 2020-10-30 19:05:24

My name is from the book series that got me into reading as a child: Animorphs.  The Andalites are an alien race that looks kind of like a blue centaur with a scorpion tail and can shapeshift, and while they aren't the main characters in the series, they are definitely interesting and one of my favorite characters - Ax - is an Andalite.

Mine's a combination of two names I used a lot when I was younger: Sen (based off a character in an old webcomic and the name Yubaba gave Chihiro in Spirited Away) and Rune (from acetrainerrune, a username I used for osu! and some other things).

xkcd is from the webcomic xkcd, and 2020 is because that's the year the world completely went to hell. It's also the year I first used the username.

I use Bad Cattitude (or a variation such as anarchy cattitude, or chaos cattitude) just about everywhere. but. it didn't feel very fitting for a wolf game. my friend AJ came up with Bad Wolfittude, so I rolled with it LMAO

online name is Wyrmtung or Wyrm, I chose it because I'm a huge fan of dragons and snakes, so a wyrm, which is a wingless legless dragon, felt very appropriate (and it just..exudes such bastard energy) 

Used to be uuh kcup but I lost interest in it haha

"Basenji" has been my online moniker for just about a decade now. I came up with it for a friend so they'd have a generic-named account on a game we were going to play together. I went through an entire list of dog breeds to see which ones were available and simple. Well, that friend never played the game, so I took over the account and used it as my main. Helps that it's a really cool dog breed :) one of my favorites!

My name actually came from playing a different game. It was a last, desperate attempt to come up with something original because every single username I was trying was taken.

My nickname, "Buck the dog" is a direct reference to Buck from The Call of the Wild, the famous book written by Jack London. I started using it when I joined a forum for the first time and it's currently the one I still use 99% of times. I don't know, it simply sounds familiar by now, and it also fits well most of the forums/sites I join so...why change it?
