Re: Why did you pick your username?

I decided on my name because of Power Rangers being a series I grew up with. I wanted to strive to be a great person so I decided Tommy Oliver Morgan will be the real name that I'll one day change it to provided I'm worthy. At least if I'm being honest my current real name ATM is filled with shame all over.

I thought of Rayman Not Advanced and thought it was funny. Reason? Rayman Advanced, wasn't really the advanced or better version of the game. It seemed to be the worst. As much as this is a boring story, I really liked the phrase. I one time accidentally called it Rayman Not Advanced. When I found the forums, I decided to call my username RaymanNotAdvanced.
Truthfully, I think many people would agree with you that Rayman Advance is the worst Rayman 1 port. Though at this point I've played the better ports of Rayman 1, the first Rayman game I ever played was Rayman Advance, ironically. :mrgreen:

zelen vaguely comes from russian for green (zyelyonyi/зелёный), but isnt pronounced the same way lmao. its something more like helen with a z i feel?
aand pixel comes from me dabbling in pixel art sometimes (i dont do it much lately) and it just sounds nice. though ive been dropping that part in places lately and just going for zelen instead

Dancaa is just an intentionally misspelled version of the word Dancer. Simply because I love rock and roll and dancing around at concerts is one of the best experiences you can have in my opinion.

So it's a soft C then? Maybe a cedilla would have been a worthy addition. :winkgrin:

Perhaps. I didn’t think much of it, and most people I know read it as a soft C.

How I got my username?
I thought of a dream where I was Henchman 1000, so that's it.

My username is simply a result from me being a Dan and a Scalie.
I was told of unintentional references to like steely Dan which idk about.

I got my Original username from being a Smash Ultimate Fan and I've stuck with the name on all social media platforms ever since. The only exception is my Discord username.

I got my RPC username from being lazy on trying to make an original name next to my Other name. So i just choose "RaymanFan"

The reference would be kind of ironic actually. I remember a Steely Dan song called Do It Again that I used to play in Guitar Hero World Tour years ago. I never would have even thought of the reference though, Dan in itself is fairly common. :P

I think I wasn't clear on why I specifically chose my name, but here it is: I recall seeing two or three veteran RPC members who have the names of their OCs back in the day. And my name (on RPC at least) stuck. It's short and simple. And, ever since I started shitposting my alias garnered some positive attention.

Probably not very original, but it still was my choice, and I have yet no desire to change my username into something edgy and controversial as 'Toxica'.

I used to have another username, more than 10 years ago, that was Rayana. It was clearly inspired from Rayman, mixed to my birth name that is Arianna.
After some time, I felt like that name didn't fit me anymore, so I came up with Sharaya, that contains the same vibes from Rayana, plus a phonetic musicality inspired from some names that come from the Myst saga.

The result is: I'm a big nerd.

Welcome to RPC Sharaya! My username is basically just short for my name, but I like this name.

My username SEVY is basically my nickname I've managed to call myself. Its my initials slammed together except for the Y. But as Ive grown to love calling myself that on the internet instead of my real name (Susannah) and Ive been known as Sevy for a long while, it kinda stuck ^^

Oh, interesting backstory, I like it! :o

As for my username on RPC, you can clearly see that there's no interesting story behind it as it's my first name, but I'm "A man called Ray" almost everywhere else, and on YouTube too. It actually originates from this commercial for the N64 version of Rayman 2 and I was like "huh, I could use "A man called Ray" as a username" :lol:

Welcome, Sharaya! And I never realized that your alternate username was a reference to that commercial, Aaron, though now it sounds pretty obvious.

Yeah, I noticed that you're even signing your drawings that, now!
