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. ;)

[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.

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

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

You mean like phosphorous? It's pretty...you'd be lucky to get a name that's so pretty.

[Yes she can presently be aware of her own name, too. No she does not get it.]

Yeah...

[Pretty? ... that's not helping his ego much there, Maka.]

It's probably taken already though.

Maybe, but there's always variations. I'm sure there's something like it in other words, too.

[Get over it, boyo, your girlfriend likes pretty things at heart.]

[Siiiigh.]

"Light barer"... totally not me.

"Keeps the fire", "holding light", "light side", it's not that hard.

... "Keeps the fire" is kinda cool.

See? It's not so bad! Besides, at least your mun isn't consulting TV Tropes like mine did.

[quiet snort]

She's done that before. This one was suggested by some one else, though.

Oh yeah? Come to think of it, I think I like "Badass Abnormal", "Book Dumb", "Anti Anti Christ" or "Almighty Janitor" for you too.

... the hell is an Anti Anit Christ?

It means you're not a bad guy out to destroy the world even if you're the son of Satan.

.. oh. Yeah, that makes sense!

It's okay, I had to think about it too.

[Remember, Satan's a myth where she comes from and stuff.]

Eh... anyway, she's probably gonna go with "keepsthefire". It's not taken, she just need to be able to pay for the rename.

Am I really under Almighty Janitor?
