I just thought the way of saying amazing as Ameijin was funny. I go by Mayo almost everywhere, it's the one username that's just stuck and I'll probably keep it that way.

As for the icon, it's the face of Kamille Bidan, the MC of Zeta Gundam. There's this cool artist name Setzeri and I've been a fan his artwork and his current comic for quite sometime now. So when I got the chance to commission him a drawing of both Kamille and Quattro, I was ecstatic with how it looked. The signature I have is just a adjustment to my Youtube banner saying "AmeijinMayo" instead of "InfinityMayo". :D

Name was made for an enemy I made for a game many years ago that looked vaguely like a mix of Deoxys and Chaos 0, so I combined the names into "Chaoxys", and ended up using that as my general online name.

As for my avatar, I decided to make a Demo sheet for my Mario project, SMB & The Midas Machine. It's not going to be in the actual game, I just thought it'd be fun.

Honestly couldn't tell you at this point. I've had this pixel can saved over five different computers for almost a decade.

Momiji Inubashiri from the Touhou series. She's one of my many favorite characters from it, and I couldn't think of a better handle to use here. She's also super cute and wolf girls are entirely too uncommon.

Cletus isn't my name, but one day everyone just started calling me Cletus, now I am Kleetus.

My avatar is a still from the Super Mario World episode Born to Ride that I found on Mario wiki, it made me laugh.
I had to do some cropping and resizing to make the image small enough to be used as an avatar.

Changed my name from En Gardevoir, which is a sword pun on Gardevoir from Pokémon; into Gardenolva, which is a name mash between Gardevoir and Nolva Carpenter (the girl in my avatar) from Sdorica, a mobile game.

Well, I got my username from when I was called "Jared M.F." on the children's coding website Scratch (my username there was "meowflash"), and knowing that the "M" stood for my middle name "Michael", I figured that the "F" stood for "Funtime". And the "Its" part's origin is rather unknown, but overall, my username is a pun on the phrase "It's time".

As for my real name, my mother was thinking about naming me "Brandon James", but then she decided to name me "Jared Michael" instead due to a classified reason.

I don't have an avatar yet, so I don't seem to have any origin for that.

My signature was written by me, though it states I have a Discord account and a Soundcloud account. Don't believe me? Click the spoiler on my signature!

My username was based on the robot master, Search Man from Mega Man 8. My avatar is Balrog from Cave Story, and I just like him so I use him. My signature, well... it showed up one day and won't leave me alone.

My avatar is Viola Cadaverini from Ace Attorney. I really like her.

My signature is from the Tom Petty song 'The Best of Everything.' And wherever he is, I hope he found it. R.I.P.

Post by HiroshiMishima »

Since I'm somewhat new here - at least as an actual poster - I figured maybe I should post a response in here.

Name! Hiroshi Mishima is my name, in a way. As a child I often had unusual dreams, and over the years several names came out of them. First came "Hiroshi" when I was like.. I can't really remember, somewhere between 8-12. Came in handy when a lot of games only allowed 4 letters for names in RPGs. Whereas "Mishima" came in my late teens. Middle name came slightly different, as I used to RP a lot back in my early forums days in the 00's, and had a lot of characters. While writing up a fresh bio for one, the name just popped into my head but it felt so natural and fitting, like it was something that belonged to me. I use it on some places, but didn't wanna make a huge long name here.

Avatar! Dragons played a large role in a lot of my dreams growing up, and dinosaurs, but I think a lot of kids in the 80s liked dinosaurs and robots. The point is, I've always felt a strong connection to dragons and my favourite dragons are Flammie and the Dragonzord from Power Rangers. In the 00's, when I started working on a sprite comic at Planet Zebeth, I felt I needed a character to represent me so I took some Dragonzord sprites from the Genesis Power Rangers game, did a bunch of tweaking, and made one inspired by Flammie. I've pretty much used the sprite as my avatar in almost every place I've hung out at. Although recently I've also switched it up by having Kiryu from Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla.

Should point out that I'm not a furry or a scaly, or whatever the dragonic counterpart is. I consider dragons more of a spirit guide/animal.

Quadro comes from one the Who's "Quadrophenia."
And my avatar (at the moment) is tiny Prince Peasley from M&L: SS being all shiny.
Formally I used Viola Cadaverini from Ace Attorney being all teary eyed. I like her.

This is Rose.

She wandered through the twilight.

She searched for those that would notice her.

She wanted to be seen and found.

But people did not turn towards her.

Where were they?

She was largely alone.

Even to the end of her little adventure.

Just her and Blanc and the giant by her side.

Little was said about them.

Would she fade away and be forgotten?

That should not be so.

Now her presence is here.

Persisting in this place.

Watching those same people with her eyes.

And visible in their sight.

May they learn the value of her journey.

name: Cobabeach from Fantasy Zone with a transliteration (is that the term) by someone at Strategy Wiki's Fantasy Zone article.
avatar: Ark from Terranigma by TerraEarth user rayim (source).
sig quote: Liz from Wild ARMs 2 (Wild ARMs 2nd Ignition in Japan).

The entire translation falls apart whenever he and Ard (Toka and Ge in Japan) show up as Liz makes the script take a more flowery, comical tone in its prose, with Ard just repeating his name. A lot of the phrases are just taken at face value and doesn't work the best in English but it's honestly a highlight despite that.

Here is a pair of GameFAQs threads showcasing the batshittery, sadly LPArchive doesn't have screenshot LPs of WA2. Video format of the dungeons they're in is here:
