On the subject of Usernames...

[cmdrkoenig67]

I've had the user name cmdrkoenig67 for many years, based on a character from one of my very favorite Science Fiction series, Space:1999 (not Star Trek, as some have thought)...When I first joined FR, I considered creating a more super hero-sounding name, but I couldn't think of anything....LOL.

[MikeB7]

My name is totally the start of my email address.  First started posting back on AOL comics message boards to rip into and make fun of Rob Liefeld.  There were a few other Mikes, so I added the B7 to distinguish myself.  Kept it when I registered at FreedomFans, as I wasn't sure if I'd actually stick around with this weird bunch of people with their crazy talk.



I'm still not sure about you whackos.

[tommyboy]

I was bitten by a radioactive tommy, which crashed through my window one stormy night, and I gained the proportional speed and strength of a tommy. It seemed only natural to strike fear into the hearts of crinimals by assuming the mantle of "tommyboy".





(Or, it's what my God-Daughter used to call me when she was little, and I couldn't think of a clever nickname when I signed on at the old irrational boards.)

[77]

When I first started to log onto boards messengers I used Protoclown77, Protoclown was taken so I added the 77 at the end (if 1 7 is lucky then 2 7's are really lucky o.O). I was a big Tick fan Protoclown was a misunderstood villain type much like the hulk, CLOWN SMASH!

Like so many other I lost the original password to that account I created 77 and it's stuck, can't seem to get rid of it now. I did think to use PC77 but I didn't want anyone to think I was politically correct 77, that just doesn't fit....

[gengoro]

My name is from a character in an old PS1 game called bushido blade 2 which happens to be one of my favorite games for some reason.  Hell, I cant remember why I chose his name though.  I guess cause our names had the same first letter or something.

[Midnight]

Midnight is an old character I used to write about. Middy was the nickname that DarkMagik gave me.

[Epimethee]

During college, I took a class in Greek mythology. For one of the assignments I did a comics on the titan Prometheus, the rebel god of forethought. This became the basis for an über-mega all-compassing comics tetralogy of cycles about various mythologies, religion, advertising, AI, etc. Needless to say, after more than ten years of researching and plotting and sketching and drawing and making numerous false starts, it had collapsed under its own weight (that, and the fact that Y2K had come and gone, making it a bit less relevant; beside, mythology had by then made a big comeback, so this wasn't ground-breaking anymore).

A close friend who became a collaborator early on (and who is currently writing this as a novel, mostly on his own) took a liking to what was in my eye a minor character, Prometheus' twin, Epimetheus (Épiméthée in French), the clumsy god of hindsight. Because of they way the got fleshed out, I thought of Epimetheus as being a funnier and more apt avatar for the FF/FR forums.

[Uncle Yuan]

Uncle Yuan was the character I was playing in a Champions campaign when I signed on at the original Freedom Fans site - so that's the name I used.  He never has made it into the game, although I've tried sporadically over the years.  I do have a hero file somewhere - just no skin/mesh to go with it.  This site is now the only place I use the handle.  Most everywhere else I am some variation of "spbtc" which are my initials (spb) and Twin Cities (tc) where I live.
