How did you come up with your MAL user name?

Personally I wanted something unique and a clever, while also sounding super obnoxious at the same time.

Used the name "Koenraad" since 2010 and wanted a new one that's never had in mind before. Was planning it to be "Konradeon" but it's AMD-y, or "Konradion" but it's science-y.

Yet, I just randomly thought of the anime "Inari Kon Kon" and the word "lolicon" as I try to brainstorm with a good pairing and decided to go with that on a whim.

Because I like aliens and missaliensan sounds kawaii~
My other alternative username alienmissy has more to do with the fact that someone I talk to a lot on amino calls me by the nickname missy so it just stuck with me.

Wanted something to do with Steins;Gate and the obvious ones were taken. Ended up choosing the name of the lamest mission in the show - the one to get Okabe a date. I like the name Valkyrie so I stuck with it.

I just love Lucifer, the fallen angel. I speak everyday to him and he is a very cute individual, who understands me and my issues, and he never judged me.
So I dedicate my whole existence to him out of pure respect and love.

That's just christian propaganda. Lucifer is the King and wielder of knowledge, wisdom and to me he is the god of love and justice. Jesus and his fascist daddy are way too retarded to give humanity any of that. HE Lucifer is the god of this time-line and because the vast majority of humans are filthy animals he treats us like that. It's all humanities fault. Lucifer gave us knowledge, science etc. and we kill each others with that.

I explained this in an older thread, but I don't feel like Google searching for it, so now you get the story as a visual novel of a sorts.

Devil May Cry is my favorite game series. Nelo Angelo is the first appearance of Vergil, Dante's twin bro and originally was ment to be Nero Angelo in this form but cause of japanese L and R thing... it got misspelled. Nero is Vergil's son in the series so ... I got stuck on this one to combine my favorite characters somehow.

I have a story behind mine:

Was playing FFXIV at probably around 5AM one summer morn. Talking shit with my friends in the free company having a fun time chilling with the summer event.

We get a new person who joins. Say say "Welcome to FFXIV where the men are men and the women are men" This person goes on a 5 minute all caps rants about how they are trans and sick of that in real life and wouldn't want to play with someone as toxic as me and left. The fastest turnaround in the free company's history.

I did a victory lap declaring I am the alpha tranny in the chat and everyone was laughing so hard. They all agreed they wouldn't want to deal with that person either.

My username doesn't seem special. A lof of people said they hated the underscore. I mean I created this account in 2011 so don't judge me. I was a big fan of Captain Tsubasa and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle back then so I thought the name tsubasa would be cool. I don't even know if the name fits me anymore but the people here know me by this name so I never thought about changing it.

i've changed my name several times until i decided on this one and if you ask what exactly inspired me? man, frankly, nothing. i was just running away from potential cyber-stalkers and i needed something totally different from anything i've used before.
but i have a habit of looking up names, especially japanese ones, usually they hold up some intriguing meaning behind, this one happens to mean "desire to help and understand others" which isn't an entirely inaccurate portrait of mine.

Partial copypaste from my interview:
My current username comes from my love of the Final Fantasy series, but it also references my somewhat cynical outlook. Technically, though, the username is a reference to Final Fantasy X (specifically the title song, 'A Fleeting Dream').

I'm a huge fan of the Joseph Heller novel "Catch 22". Main character is called Yossarian. Over time that got changed to Yossa. The red mage part is less interesting. There's a YouTube channel I saw once called OniBlackMage, or something like that. I think it's Final Fantasy related? But I don't know, I never actually watched the channel, just liked the naming format. So I stole it and used Red Mage instead.

Nah, I was just paranoid back then, and the current username was just a stand against it. I since got past it. The username just kinda stuck with me.

Vincent Valentine is the Big-daddy of FF7 - not CLOUD.


I used Valentine as a username, but it was too feminine.
Heart is another term for Valentine, but that sounds worse, so I just made Japanese (Shinzo)

My nickname is from sao 2 from a character Zekken but i didnt want to just usr Zekken cause i knew there will be alot of people who would use it.
Zekken has a meaning as a " absolute sword" so i just made that meaning in 2 words Zettai means absolute and Ken means blade , i just made a fusion of these 2 words which gave a birth to my nickname
