I was a little seventh grade boy. I was really into making stopmotions, and I was really into Transformers. One of the cooler sects of the transformers were the seekers, and two of the main ones were Starscream and Thundercracker. I was just thinking up usernames for my Channel when I would turn 13, and the one I came up with was Thunderscream. But, for some reason, I thought adding an er to the end made it cooler.

Yes, the origins of Thunderscreamer are that lame.

Originally, my username was swiftshadow. In games like Pokemon(that showed stats), my all time favorites were speed/attack/special attack(Yeah, striker.... :P) And personally, I love to run. People saw I could run, and I always kinda liked the word "swift"*.

I liked shadows too, kinda getting an odd thought of mystery behind a shadow. And part of this was influenced by code lyoko's "XANA" with the ghost(in some cases, I'll call that a shadow). So swiftshadow.

Then I learned Yuki meant snow and I was obsessed with Fruits Basket(lolderp Shiotaro was once Sohma :P) And I loved the snow, so that went a few ways. swiftyuki was the result in a mix of "snow" and my favorite stat.

*Swift does not relate anywhere close to the bird or the NASA spacecraft. One of my favorite types of avians are the Tree Swallow, mmmk?

Started out on Neopets where I was Inuyashas_girl____ (yeaaaah).

Got introduced to RPing there and named my character, a Half-Cat Demon who used fire and was in love with Inuyasha who hated Kagome and [insert total Mary Sue character here], Hikaru because it meant 'bright/to shine/shinning/brilliance'. Since that fit Fire more than 'light' (Hikari).

I then went ahead and used that name on every forum I joined, Hackthissite, Code Lyoko, etc. Eventually people called ME Hikaru when I used it in Code Lyoko RPs and I've been Hikaru ever sense.

...Keep in mind I was 12/13 when I made the Mary Sue. >.>

Contrary to popular belief, L_Rage wasnt my my username to start with. It has its own story behind it. Just wanted to clear that up, because Hiro seems to love calling me that. :P

Anyways, Lyoko222 was actually a suggestion from some website. I first wanted my username to be simply Lyoko (Which is now my more commonly used alternative), but the username was taken. So it gave me a suggestion of Lyoko222, and i thought it was kind of fitting since my email ended in 222, and my username on the old CN Website ended with 222 as well. Ever since, it kind of just stuck with me.

Lessee...

If memory serves correctly, back when I entered the interwebs, I went by the alias known as Zon_TH (Don't ask me why I put that TH on at the end, I don't know. Probably because websites wouldn't allow names that were 3 characters or less.).

Then, after I met a certain group of friends, Zaikanata was the main name, and I've kinda stuck with it ever since. I nowadays switch between bajillions of names, but 'Zai' seems to be the one that people remember me the most by.

The origin of Zaikanata was actually an RP character, whom was a part of a race before the universe even began. They had this prophecy that one among them would be marked as 'The one' with a big red birthmark on their forehead. This 'One' would inherent the very properties of the cosmos itself: Rebirth. The birth of this child meant the beginning of the universe, and this child would be the first true immortal being to forever stand against the test of time, and witness all what existence had laid out for the endless life forms that would eventually inhabit the universe. This race was called the Hajek.

Er, yeah.

You all remember how those first few generations of Pokemon had preset names, right? Well, in Pokemon Gold, one of those names happened to be Hiro. I though this was a AWESOME name and used it(and continue to use it) in pretty much any game you get to name your character. Then years later I went to the 'net aaaand added a last name of Dark(it, too, was for a RP forum, though suffice it to say I was a newb to the 'net' and my character ended up...Ill-Suited for the setting. I like to think I've improved since then). Aaaand there ya have it, that's the story of me being called Hiro.

If you need to ask where I got my current Username, please crawl out from under your rock and pick up a copy of...Lesse, by now that'd be Firered, Leafgreen, Heartgold, or Soulsilver and start having fun fer once. :P

Never said that. They're just more...Readily available to get a hold of, is all, and people simply must know about Red. Since it, essentially, tells the same story, Weddell, yeah.

Me and a friend were making me a yahoo account so I could get sign up for Neopets. I couldn't think of anything and so he suggested just putting in orgadude. Orga was an alien that Godzilla fought in Godzilla 2000, and he was also my second favorite character in the GameCube Godzilla game, so I figured, "Eh, why not". Years later when I needed a username for chats and other forums I figured hey, why not Orgadude? I ended up replacing the dude with Strange when I made my first Fallout character and I felt he needed a good last name. Putting in 'the' just made it sound cooler. :P

Everyone did neopets when they were little, right? :P

Anyway, my current one is mostly obvious. "Nik" is my real name IRL. Here there was a thing a while back (holy crap, last year in 1 month 0_0) where everyone was making their names royalty or nobility, and I made myself the generic term "Prince". I needed to be prince of something, so I added "of Fishies" due to my new character K who is a fish, and I added "(and cows)" because it's a personal meme  that goes back to middle school when I had a perverted friend who always thought I was drawing a nude picture when I was really drawing a cow. Now I use it to annoy the heck out of him.

On my other accounts I go by buizeru99,dragonflare99 and somethin else involving 9. 9 is my favorite number for no reason at all and it means suffering. Not hat's not why 9 is my favorite number. I just like 9. As for the lettery words, buizel is one of my favorite gen 4 pokemon ever, and well, Japanese accents...It's "buizeru" or "boizeru". Dragonflare because I love solar flares and dragons. I don't use those usernames anymore though :D
