A guy who hated me back in The Spriters Resource was named Skink so since sometimes i like to do tributes to my notable haters so i used a username sounding like Rayman-ish that could translate to something similar to the opposite villain counterpart of Skink

Personally my username is a really old one I used to go by online years and years ago. I've changed it since to nr0r, but I am unsure if it is possible to change my username here

I chose my real name on RPC as my username, but I have a YouTube channel where my username is Rayfan013. And I chose that username because I'm a huge fan of Rayman and 013 because I'm 13 years old.

Wow, it's really strange being pretty much ten years older than some members now, since I also joined back when I was thirteen.

how do you feel having been born in 2004(?), in a post-9/11 world ?

I like both Michel Ancel and Rayman. They are both guiding lights.
I thought "ANCEL" was a cool part of a name so I mixed it together to make a quick nickname.

Well, it wasn't quick to come up with that. I was gonna name myself "R4YM4N" but someone else here in RPC has that nickname already so I changed my mind. :hehe:

I chose this username because I didn't care about the generic sounding Rayman502 username anymore. I preferred and still prefer to be called either Ray502 or just Ray.

Unfortunately, because of the change I made back in late 2016, I can't change it again to just Ray. Why can't we? I never found that out.

Picked my username when I was really young, but it was primarily influenced by the Hogs of War game which I played heavily at the time. Was trying to make an account for some EA registration thing and was trying to come up with something I could use.

It took a lot of mental ability powers for me to be writing this post and I had to think about it for a long time (Like really, this has been on my mind for YEAR, maybe two) but I feel the Rayman Community has always been there for me and supported me even though I am mentally ill (I haven't been diagnosed yet but I have all the symptoms of being introverted). Anyway, I hope you'll find what I have to say interesting and not judge me as being weird/strange/awkward/anorexia, I just want to have friends and that's what this site has been for me through the years. ^u^ The suicide hotline is 64-128-One do NOT HESITATE to call if you need help and remember if your parents won't let you stay up, negotiate? And at least 11 PM is one hours longer than 10 PM!~

I picked my username because I thought it sounded funny as a kid. I really liked it back then, to the point that I often drew hash signs on the walls at school using rubber. It was my signature, I guess.

I even did it in my bedroom, but I hid them behind posters so that my dad wouldn't see them (he hates vandalism). However, one day my Rayman 2 poster got unstuck and my dad found out about the hash signs. He got so angry he took me to the garage and beat the living hell out of me with a set of jumper cables.

My name comes from a nickname that only I call myself since everybody i told this name to said it didn't suit me. I don't mind if people call me Jonster or J though, since they're both good enough for me.
