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. ;)

Not the slightest, unless you're mortal. I happen to come from a whole realm of gods, and with how easily mortals are impressed, with all other realms combined, they may find there are more gods than mortal men.

Or women. I am not gender prejudiced.

I'm not mortal. I'm Hera, first born daughter of Cronus. Sister-wife of Zeus and Queen of Olympus. My grandchildren are gods.

Exactly. Plenty of godhood to go around. Lots of inbred godly grandchildren to populate your mountains. To each their own realm.

If you seek to mock me, you'd have to try harder than that.

No mockery at all. Dare I mock a queen of gods? Said with the most sincerest wishes to you and your complex family.

I wouldn't put it past the self-proclaimed god of mischief.

Quite the opposite. The title was given to me. [ Which meant he definitely earned it. ]
