Here it is, the cliche what is the reason for using the alias you do thread.
But seriously, I always find it interesting where people got their aliases from. It sometimes gives you an insight to what they like, what kind of person they are, etc.
So, EvilSeph. Although I go by many different names for various reasons, my original alias was Sephiroth back when FF wasn't crazily popular and people still used real names on the internet (crazy people). Over time I found that Sephiroth had become a really popular name and that if you were looking for me, there was a really high chance you may find someone else using the name. Sometimes, this lead to problems because what people saw really wasn't me at all.
When thinking of a new alias, I couldn't really come up with anything (I'm really bad with coming up with names). I decided to stick with Sephiroth and opted to make it more unique by adding "Evil" to the beginning.
However, and this is where you get to learn something about me through the story behind my alias, I am really, really picky and so "EvilSephiroth" is just way too long. Since I really hate long names for multiple reasons, I opted to truncate my alias to EvilSeph and have stuck with it for a while now (unless I'm involved in another project which requires credit, that's when I use a different alias) because the short form of it flows nicely: "ES".
So what's in a name? Or, more specifically, what's the story behind your "name"?
