[Elemental Crisis]

As the title says, what's the origins behind your online name?

Back when I was a staff member at X-RPG, we had just switched to a different forum software requiring everyone to re-register. I was originally going to go with the name Elemental but decided to add Crisis at the end. It's never occurred to me that my username and website shared the same list word until someone pointed it out when I first opened RPG Crisis.

[harbin91]

My username is my last name, with the 91 being the last two digits in my year of birth.  Quite a simple name... my email account is different though... have to use 92 for that because I forgot my password for my old one.

[Lethrface]

I chainsawed guys to death in a 4 on 1 gears of war match and won.  (My friends were all killed at the beginning of the match

[Xeigrich]

I made it up on the spot back in middle school when I was into roleplaying over Yahoo! chat, AIM, and MSN. That turned into a full cast of characters, which then turned into a full world, history, culture, several languages, and of course RPG Maker projects. It's more or less inspired by the name Dietrich and is pronounced "ZEE-grick" despite being spelled "ei" instead of "ie".

The other username I usually use is Toshiro17, with 17 being my birthdate, and Toshiro just a Japanese name I like. I use that one intermittently when I don't feel like using "Xeigrich", or just as "Toshiro" for a protagonist name when playing JRPGs without a fantasy setting, like Persona.

And if anyone remembers the card game and GB Color game Magi-Nation, I once went by tonyjones17 taken from the GB Color game's protagonist, which has entirely been replaced by Toshiro17 after I lost access to my Yahoo! Mail account of 8+ years.

[Rustus]

back in high school one of my friends combined my name (Rusty) with Emperor Augustus and got Rustus. It stuck after that. There was originally going to be a General at the beginning, as another friend added to it, but I left it off... i'm no general that's for sure lol

[Elemental Crisis]

General Rustus, its got a nice ring to it.
