I got tired of making new usernames for each website and forgetting what it was :oops: , So i sticked to one unique user name and have been using it for nearly 4+ years on many sites.


And "flashback" does sound awesome in its own way ,0180 is like 180 degree ,Which is like looking back ...which matches with "flashback".
(and to make it unique).

I was in a bit of a Japanese DBZ fanatic phase at the time I came up with my username.

"Scarz" was actually the name I chose during my early high school years when I wanted to be a graffiti artist. I've been using it ever since. I'm just not very creative when it comes to making up names, I guess.

Honestly can't exactly remember how I came up with the name Codarik, but I do remember coming up with this name back in 2009 for my YouTube channel. Been using this name all around the internet since then.

I think anyone on here would know where my name comes from. :) I have a strong love and affinity for the Funimation dub of DBZ and it has stuck with me for a very long time.

They've changed my life - changed the way I act on the earth. Doesn't that make them kind of real? They might be imaginary but, but they're more important than most of us here. And they're all gonna be around here long after we're dead. So, in a way, those things are more realer than any of us.

On most other forums/places on the interwebz I go by "Mugen26" or a slight variation of that. I've been using that moniker for several years and continue to do so with most other places. However about 3 or 4 years ago I attempted to register that name on another forum (of which I can't remember right now), but they told me that was already registered. Even my SLIGHT variations that I sometimes use like "Mugen026" was not available. Of course that put me in a slight dilemma that I really felt was nothing but a waste of time, so I had to be "creative". One translation for the term "Mugen" (無限) in japanese is Infinite/Infinity so I opted to use that as a way or getting around my usual username. The popular gamer tags naming scheme at the time had many XX around usernames, so I guess my mindset was to utilize this to not only guarantee my registration for that damn forum, but also prevent it from seeming so "plain". Sure enough, I was registered with that name. I thought of it as an official "alias" at the time once I finally stuck with it, so I used it for only a few other places as well.

So when I finally decided to register for the Daizenshuu EX forums after years of curiously browsing through the conversations, I obviously utilized my "alias" name. However nowadays, I kinda wish I just registered with my usual "Mugen26" to avoid any confusion with other member here who know me best with that name, but it's no big deal I guess. If there ever where a chance to change it, I probably would. That's my story.

As a Swedish-American having grown up in this US, I've always hated how my name sounded. I was constantly mocked over my last name in particular. So, at some point, I decided to simply create an alternate name. I took "Kevin Swanberg" and americanized it to "Crash Dover" and that's what most people call me nowadays, aside from my family and closest friends. I later changed it when I moved back to sound more "fancy" to Valerius (I sort of male-ilized the female name Valerie) and had that become my "real" name, with Crash as the nickname. When I started getting accounts on the Internet (my parents didn't let me until I was 17) I used my alternate name to protect my identity. Now, obviously, I don't really care about that, since I'm almost 18 now. :D

Well, the "Baggie" part I pretty much use for every username, as it's the the nickname of the football team I support (The mighty West Bromwich Albion :D) and the second part of my username is dependant on what I am signing up for so "Sayain" since this is Kanzeshuu, if this were a Batman fourum it'll be "bat" etc.

At the time I joined, I was mostly into Yugioh and Anzu Mazaki was my favourite character.
But over the following year and since then my main fandom became Dragonball.

Personally I wish I could change my username to YamchaFan to go with the rest of my accounts on other websites and stuff.

I like Puella Magi Madoka Magica, my favorite character is Kyoko Sakura and she happens to be from Kazamino City... I just picked the city and left it at that. I use the name Kyosuke (and variants) a bit too much outside of the internet and I don't really like taking the names of my favorite characters if I'm not roleplaying, so the only other option is to make subtle hints...


And honestly, I think "Kazamino" sounds better than "Cherry Blossom" (ie: Sakura... but I wasn't going to use another feminine name)

Ok, so, before I begin, keep in mind I created this username when I was like 13. Which is half my life ago at this point.

Anyway, the Trunks part is obvious. Trevelyan comes from 007 Goldeneye's Alec Trevelyan. I played the N64 game to death and the movie introduced me to who is now my favorite actor of all time, Sean Bean. Then ... my 13-year-old self decided "hey, everyone puts random numbers behind their name, right?" and went with 0064. The 006 being Bond's buddy in the aforementioned Goldeneye, and the 4 is there to have a '64' in there. Yeah, I wasn't into the Nintendo 64 at all or anything.

So there you have it! I'd rather change the name, but I understand that's not really an option here so I respect that. Nowadays I go by Kevtrev everywhere else online.

Mine came from a mixture of my favourite soul reaper in Bleach Ichigo Kurosaki, and one of my favourite bosses in the first Devil May Cry Nelo Angelo. So I put on my thinking cap and I came up with KurosakiNelo.
