Just the best anagram of my first name… which I use for all my e-accounts btw… :sweat_smile:

And just a random number…

… just kidding, guess what, I’m a goth :skull::smiling_imp::skull_and_crossbones::skull::metal:t2:

I made an anagram of my name and added a few extra letters to make it sound a little nicer.
Creativity 11/10

I used to play an online browsergame called Syrnia, which I quite enjoyed.
Later I had to think of a name for my cat and called it Syrnis.

Thus this name was born.

I definitely did not choose this name by picking my favorite SC1 Protoss unit and slapping an adjective on the front. Nope, not a chance. <_<

I made up fat_cyborg back when we used to play around on Yahoo messenger, because I had never seen a fat cyborg before. Later I kept using the name for lots of games and accounts. One being League of Legends, I felt like they made Urgot for me! Then here I felt like they made Road Warrior Cyber Azmodan for me.

Was studying biochemistry at the time, called myself biochemist (in Lithuanian = Biochemikas). Master of creativity, aren’t I?

Got mine from a character from a dead RPG game in Facebook, called Buddy Rush, which was very popular before the devs decided to stop.

Here’s Skully (the Pirate):

Her in-game bio: “A female pirate who is a sharp shooter with an even sharper tongue! She’s absolutely perfect! Oh, Except the fact that she gets seasick often…”

I mained the hell out of this girl, first character to get to Diamond Level, got her legendary items and a simple skin. When the game died, I took her name as a way to remember her and her awesomeness.

I came up with Volsong back when I started playing WoW in BC and needed a name for my Troll Warrior. I figured the Horde were pretty metal (\m/) and Trolls are big in Scandinavian lore so I think it made me think of the Volsung clan. That combined with the Warsong Clan (\m/ GROM ******* HELLSCREAM \m/), ended up with Volsong. I liked the way it sounded and people seemed to like it too so it stuck as my name ever since. :slight_smile:

Originally i wanted to do sculpting and crafting videos on YT, and since those are “offline” activities i wanted to name my channel just that…but it was already in use…so i put a number behind it, still taken :rofl:
And for the 3rd try it registered :sweat_smile:
But my YT dreams went away due to financial issues but since the name was there ever since 2k6 or 2k8 (my longest in use internet alias ever) so i just use it everywhere now :slight_smile:
And thats how i got the Offline65 as a username.

This reminds me of The Stormlight Archive. I don’t want to spoil anything, but they are great Medieval Fantasy books, if you have that sort of interest. The Way of Kings is the first book.

Originally my name was Kronomage, which means time mage and it came from Cronos (in greek, Krónos), the greek/roman titan of human time and harvesting. People would normally shorten it to Krono, which sounded nice, so I lately decided to change it to Kronoz and, as my obsesion with the moon developed, I gave my name a last name and it ended up being Kronoz Moonlight. Catchy, I believe.

I still use Kronomage, but now is some kind of nickname to Kronoz.
