Well my story is a bit sad.
10 years ago I ended up in a coma for 4 days, during that time, the hospital I was at made me lose the use of my right hand. You know that rubber band tourniquet they put around your arm to draw blood. Well while in my coma, they forgot and left that thing on my arm one night. Upon waking, no use of my right arm. It was like I fell asleep on my arm and it went numb. Well several years later a place I worked at I had some buddies picking on me because of these new shoes I bought, they were slip on shoes, I could not tie my laces. Eventually I became known as Shoe.
Even today I play pretty much one handed.

Well my original DOD name was Toast From Wales, Toast came from my friends and a stupid bob and tom video called Yeeeeeaaaahhhh Toast! which made all of us laugh and did so for a long time, well it made them laugh i got bored of it after a week or so! So that is where Toast came from!
The Welsh bit well because i was getting into eGO pretty well and i was getting all these tags, soo well i couldn't fit them in, so i shortened my name to Welsh Toast
There you have it!

When I started playing dod I played sniper games my name was bigstope and after I would snipe someone I would say BANG on the mike well the other team would say where's that big bang guy he's killing us so I changed it to Big Bang I added the Rookie as a swipe at people who think they are good. What you got killed by a Rookie? No I got killed by Big Bang(Rookie)!!

Man...have had this name for ever...back even before I met DuckDastardly in 2002...though it isnt much older than that. I used to run around as Skeletor or Skeletor313 as I think the ORIGINAL one is one of the best cartoon characters out there. But then I kept running into too many other Skeletor's and that let to some confusion from time to time. So then I chose SkeletalPhrame as it was close to Skeletor and pretty much fit me as I am one skinny dude(though age and beer are starting to lead to a bit of a pot). So that is where the Phrame came from.

Yea, so here it is...
Back in the SNES glory days, I played AD&D at the local library with a group of about twenty. All of whom were seven to ten years older than myself. Most of them were not the “typical” nerd type. I created a character simply named Falcon. This later followed me when I entered the realm of “internet RPing” and found chat.webrpg.com. Before it was re-made, it was the basic of basic. You couldn’t even register your name. After being mistaken for someone else who used the name Falcon on there, I changed it to FalconStrife. I chose Strife for the definition of the word. After using Falcon Strife for 3 years, I shortened it to FalStrife. By this time, the name “CloudStrife” was used all across everywhere. Thanks a lot Final Fantasy creators. With a lot of people telling me my name was ripped off of Final Fantasy, I did a play of phonetics. I changed it to FalStryfe, where it has sat since. On occasion I go by FailStryfe, only on WoW. To some old old friends of mine from the CCS community, I’m also known as FarStryfe, FalStyle, and FarStyle.
Although I hate people getting my name wrong, it happens.

U
Untersturmf?hrer
My Name
My previous name was 2LT because I always wanted to be in the military as an officer and that would be my begining rank as an officer, I started thinking about it more and realized that if I was going to join eGO I would need a more clever name, I have also been in the mood for more Wermacht, so it hit me! I want the Nazi equivilent of 2nd Lueitenant. I then looked up Wermacht ranks on the wonderfull wiki and thats were I found the Waffen SS ranks. I was really excited then because it just kept getting better. So I looked around and sure enough, there it was Untersturmf?hrer. It was the perfect name and I've been using it ever since.

Otis is not my real name, which I rarely ever use on the internet. I started using it way back in grade school. My best friend at the time had a grandmother who could not remember my name and just called me Otis. I've used it as an alias ever since.
Pretty lame I know.

Lostprophets - For He's a Jolly Good Felon
I used to use the whole title ' for he's a jolly good felon ' , yes i used the whole thing as a name. Obviously a big fan of lostprophets, this was one of their new songs for their new album and its the one i liked the most. The reason i cut it short to just 'felon' is because people called me 'Jolly' instead of 'felon'. Being called 'Jolly' isnt that great for me, i wanted people to call me felon. And then, the legend of one of the most sexiest admins in eGO was born. Ryder is the #1 sexiest admin btw

My name is actually the epitaph of the species Coprinus psychromorbidus. It's common name is cottony snow mould and it is highly pathogenic (to plants like winter wheat). It is also primarily what I work with. As I remember, psychromorbidus stands for "cold loving death". The sad thing is that the species got reclassified to something less awesome, so I took up the epitaph for gaming instead.

Eh, I guess the only story behind mine is 'Stereotyping'. I have Mexican roots so I thought it would be funny for my name to be 2 Fast 4 Border Patrol.
To those who are curious, YES I'M LEGAL, I was born in the U.S.
My name's just a Stereotype.
