It's been my internet identity / haxxorz handle since the 1990s, and the story is about as benign as Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner and his black-and-yellow striped sweater.

Nakari has "existed" since I was a teenager. Started off as a character I used in writing as an outlet, but slowly the name also became a handle for me. Hell, I guess an entire "presence" since it's my go-to for most sites.

Lexfortaine came around because I wanted something vaguely "proper" sounded in a D&D game, and I never actually got around to giving the character Nakari a "canon" last name. It worked well enough for an asspull, and has just been tracked on ever since. Grown to like it, actually. Feels more like a proper name.

It just seemed fitting.

I used to really love William Gibson. It's the name of a fictional musical duo in one of his novels, Idoru.

I'm your best friend.

Because it said I had to?

Or is the question, WHY did I choose THIS username?

Been using it for so long, that I forgot how I chose it

An inside joke

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Years ago, when I was around 13-14, I wanted a "cool" sounding username, since I was also sick of coming up with usernames for websites. I did some thinking, and came up with "Mr.Champion". Used it ever since.

My username? Cuz I've had it since like 2003 or so, possibly even earlier. I'm a simple man, I like consistency.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't you worry people will be able to find what you were up to elsewhere in the past?
