Some positivity!

I'm just..... TheGannMan

Good news: you can! I think you can comment on a mod's profile requesting it and it'll get changed within a few days. You can only change it once though.

A Dbd streamer I used to watch had a running joke in their chat where if someone requested that they play Pyramid Head the chat would all use the Dorito emote. I started calling Pyramid Head "The Doritohead" as a result and I kind of liked how it sounded. (Although my Steam name isn't the same as my forums name)

I also have a foundness for a certain seasoned tortilla chip snack food.

I was born with shortened Achilles tendons. Nothing too major but what this meant was that when I walk, I would walk upright on my tip toes. I had a few surgeries to help fix the issue (which helped) but when I ran, I still went up on my tip toes.

In middle school, I played soccer. Kids would call me Tippy to mock my run.

When I left and moved to a new city for high school, my step-brother would continue to call me Tippy but as a term of endearment instead (or at least I think it was :D). But the nickname carried on except it was reclaimed as my nickname among friends rather than something people called me to mock me with.

I’m not good at coming up with usernames so I just use my real name lol.

I main legion and the name was catchy.

My real name is Johnny and I have a special love for the X-Men. 😊

Vajayballs xp. Ehh, my name came from the first half of my ps4 name which in turn was thought out by my mum xp (she likes green). And the second part is because I like Demogorgon. Playing as and versusing (if ever).

My name was primarily a joke that I didn't know if I would keep, but I love it.

Fell in love with Tricksters design, abilities, lore, everything. He was also released at a time where I was going towards a low in my life. He was kind of a character that gave me comfort through the memories of playing him/against him and meeting fellow Trickster lovers.

I also was able to have an unforgettable experience with getting to know the closest thing I could to a "real life Trickster" but without real murderous tendencies. But that's a whole separate story 💀

I liked space as a kid and was into astronomical oddities, hence pulsars and quasars.

Pretty much every other account of mine has some reference to either Anakin Skywalker or Kurt Cobain. I had the nickname Skywalker when I played American football and some meaner kids in school told me I'd end up like Cobain

I have been informed by my six year old niece that we do not talk about Bruno

Not sure how she knows about Bleach though... :P

Same I'm just VikingDragonXIII. It has always been and always will be. The Void tells me so, it tells me of great things I have achieved and many things that yet to be achieved. For it is I and I am it.

I just combined two things from my favorite series majin(dbz) and 151(my favorite pokemon's dex number)

I used to go by "WishIHadAFridge", something my brother came up with back in 2012 when both of us bought Minecraft. It didn't really have a story behind it, my brother just typed it in when I was stumped over usernames and pressed enter before I could stop him. People then often commented how they found my name funny, so I kept it. It then was abbreviated into Wishy, or Fridge, depending on what caught on first.

Skip to, say, 2017-18, when Don't Starve had its heyday for me. One of the characters, Wilson, goes by the title "Gentleman Scientist", which is essentially a scientist that works independently of any official institution. (Independent scientist - Wikipedia). Around the same time, I had a bit of a stereotypical quasi-posh British phase, largely inspired by Professor Layton. His "gentleman-liness" was, for the lack of a better description, the basis for my online persona.

It would then be on a DST server that I played on (and sort-of moderate to this day) that someone asked "What are you?" And as I was playing as Wilson at the time, I replied: A Gentleman Fridge.

And, suffice it to say, that resonated with me.

"Lavars" exists for a very long time. I used it in an old PS2 game where I played a Mage class.

Since then i use it everywhere.

I'm not directly called "Pepsi" after the drink Pepsi. My first dog's name was Pepsi (after the drink) and her pup was called "Dot" because she had one big black spot whilst the rest of her was white and a little brown.

So when I logged into Club Penguin in 2007 I named myself "Pepsidot". There was one other alias I kinda went with for a bit (which was similar to my brothers alias) but nowadays I just stick to Pepsidot when creating an account or needing a nickname.

So most people will of course think my name is just based off of a drink but it's really based off of my previous dog's names.
