I&#x27;ve found some pretty interesting usernames here. The creativity is sometimes next-level!<p>If you have a unique and interesting username, curious to know the why and how :)

looked for a name for an evil player character in an mmorpg, back in the 2000 or so. The character lead a glorious life, and died a glorious death some day in 2005 or so, really hurt to let him go.<p>He&#x27;d eat cats from the streets, traded slaves for money and information and generally acted disgusting and fearful like Gollum in Lord of the rings. I used him to explore my own and other ppls darker fantasies, ppl are terrible xD.<p>Kept the name. It was created using dices and numbers on the alphabet. A=1, B=2 and so on.
