the USERNAME meme

Journal names. They're something we all think about, and that we often try to make as fittingly torturous to our characters as possible. Isn't it nice that our characters never have to know they're wandering around with that horrible label attached to them?

...wouldn't it be fun if they did?

RULES

1 Your character is communicating with others through a journal community, just like how we're using them, and they are perfectly aware of that fact. Whether they think that's normal or not is totally up to you.

2 The also know that when they signed on to this community, they were automatically assigned a name that supposedly has something to do with their personality and/or history. They didn't have any say in what that name was going to be, they're just stuck with it.

3 Make a post with your character's reaction to seeing what their own username is. Do they think it fits? Do they hate it with a passion? Are they downright confused?

4 Comment to other people's posts with your character's reactions to everyone else's usernames. If they know the other character, they might have good reason to laugh at them or feel sorry for them. If they don't, this could lead to some pretty interesting first impressions, don't you think?

5 If you want to use a name that's different from your actual journal name, just mark that in your post. No need to create a whole new journal just to make your character's life worse for one meme. ;)

6 PROFIT!

[It's Sora, does he need to get a party hat and stupid glasses too?]

Hey I'm perfectly fine!

[He'll show you by smooshing his cheeks together.]

[gaybulge]

How does the old saying go? You never know until you try?

[olympicpuppy]

The name's Zack! Good to meet you, Sora.

You ever been to the games?

[heartandsoul]

It depends on what year it was published since words change over time. But I think mine's pretty current. [If by current she means the time she's from in her world, also known as 2003XX.]

[keepsthefire]

... oh.

[Blink.]

... well yeah if you wanna.

Aww, thank you! C: It's definitely the KH AU I'm proudest of, and this guy's fun to write/play.

[keybearer]

He...

[Man, how does he even begin to explain the mess that is Sora? Especially when even he doesn't know the whole story...

Right.]

Well, I'll skip all the gritty details and just cut to the chase: he freed Kairi's heart, and now he's got a Nobody running around with screwed up memories.

[And quite possibly a Heartless that's been following him around in the shadows. If only he'd stop hiding and actually show himself, then maybe he'd know for sure.]

[fluentindark]

Now that looks serious. Yeah, you need a checkup.

[olympicpuppy]

Yeah, that's true. It really does suit you.

[Heck it's better than what the other KH Zack his mun has, kind of.]

[olympicpuppy]

What? I can sit still!

[... It takes him a few seconds to stop squatting when he realizes what he's doing. Whoops.]

<3~

[fluentindark]

But where did Sora go?

[heartandsoul]

[ALREADY ON IT.]

...Maybe we can save up for a name-change for you. [Not that she sees anything wrong with it. Actually it's kind of cute even with the double-meaning. But boys make such a big deal out of rawr rawr their manliness and things.]

Still find it funny how I didn't get saddled with a key pun.

Not that I'm complaining or anything.

[ayagozen]

You are learning, my cute Shou Kai.

[She's so proud of him, she really is. But Zhong Hui is still far from perfect or disciplined, there is still much work to be done. The "revodouchenary" tag next to him isn't helping things either. Well, at least he has initiative.]

Pain will not be a stranger to you in your path.

[and her face totally hardens, because if you step out of line, she is going to come down on you pretty hard.]

[heartisabattleground]

Hey! Maybe you need one too.

[He'll do what he did in KH1 and grab your face and stretch it.]

[keepsthefire]

[He is kind of bad about that... must be manly all the time! Even when he's bawling his eyes out over stupid romance mangas]

Maybe... mun was kinda thinkin' about it since the one it was supposed to match doesn't really get played anymore.

[heartisabattleground]

Yup, I even won all the tournaments.

[fluentindark]

Aaa--ugh. Sora!

[Whatever, he's laughing again.]

[keybearer]

That's what I'm trying to find out.

[He winces.]

There's a Heartless that's been following me around, but he always takes off before I can get a good look at him. Still, it could be him.

[weallfalldown]

Puppy behavior number two... [And he'll just be laughing, because that look on your face, Zack. Its too funny.]

Endless energy and enthusiasm.

[skygale]

...Uh. What's the gale for?

[...eheh. No, it totally doesn't give away who he really is. Not at all!]

Shinjiro Aragaki — Persona 3

[themortalhalf]

Tch. Could be worse, I guess.

[And it's accurate enough.]

[heartandsoul]

We should think of a new name for you right now! Maybe give her some ideas?

[munajjima]

Then, I am closer to what my professor wanted for me. This is...so very comforting.

[fluentindark]

[If that's not horrifying...]

Know what I think you should do? ... Corner him with Kairi.

[keepsthefire]

Uhh... well she did all that stuff on what my name translates to...
