Board 8 > What's your username origin?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Well, there's a Lopin in Wheel of Time, which is close enough...!

Omg this makes me so happy because I've always associated your name with the Mario Tennis character (rather than any other iteration of the common Mario enemy).

That would have been super cool, but also extremely eerie, as his username predates The Way of Kings by nearly a decade

why did you keep getting banned

I kept making fun of other users by making new accounts named similar things to them, then posting nonsense about how stupid I was.

Random letter selections that formed a barely-pronounceable name.

Character from the Baccano anime who was on my mind when creating this

As a kid I thought it was cool to spell things backwards so I took my first yahoo address and reversed it

Some of these usernames make way more sense now. Ha.

I remember it took me way longer than it should have to realize ertyu was just a series of letters on a keyboard. A little embarrassing.

Good ole ertyu. Some of you might not know himbut if you were here when he was, just a dude you cant forget.

I liked the Wario series. Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land was the first game I owned on the first dedicated console I owned (Gameboy) and I thought a combination of that with "warrior" was cool. Most people just saw it as a typo of "warrior" though, if they even noticed it wasn't "warrior". My account on here was banned (My fault) and for the new account I added in Paper Mario, which I also liked.

...in 20 years I never noticed your username was warior not warrior

My handle is named after a key element in the first RPG I ever beat, and its crappy yet oddly addictive sequel. In a nutshell, your party's ultimate goal in Legend of Legaia is to save the planet by reviving these bridges between your character's dystopian world and the mystical spirit world called the Genesis Trees, of which there are like ten of them I think, which purges the air of the evil artificial mind-controlling mist surrounding them at all times. I'm probably doing a terrible job of explaining it, but reviving the trees and watching the Mist shrouded war torn world of Legaia return to life was always my favorite part of the game.

Its cheaper bargain bin sequel, Legaia: Duel Saga contains exactly none of these elements, but it was still fun for me to sink time into in a different way and it basically played perfectly into my neurotic ADHD hands. The Saga part was also partially inspired by Xenosaga, a series I hadn't even played at the time my account was made, but had made its way onto my radar because of its cool boxart so I was eager to try it once I got a job got a life so I could get a KOS-MOS.

And there you have it. It has nothing to do with the Bible or Sega Genesis and in fact, other than the SNES and Wii, and some handheld console devices, I have owned Sony consoles exclusively.

It's just a cool name

Oh thanks. I often get self-conscious about it and think it sounds ridiculous. I do this about my IRL name as well

Does this fiction still exist in some form?

yack.
