Its from a song by the group Sentenced, that I listened to a long time ago. The lyrics suited my mood at the time and later the name just stuck.

"I have dwelled in the dark
so long that I have become the night"

Fallere Is Latin for Deceive (or at least something close to that meaning), which is a very deceiving name for me because im not very deceiving.

the whole name however, Fallere825 is me just stealing the magic name of one of my favorite characters in one of my favorite Animes/light novel Series.

So I have only been using this name for the last 2-3 years, before this I would go for something along the lines of Ashby.

My name should be self-explanatory. =P

I picked this as I was traditionally planning to lurk, but Forum Games and free time happened, and the rest is history.

When I was a kid I made a username that I'd regularly use.
For some reason something I was trying to sign up for didn't let me use it cuz someone already had it or it was too long. I forget which.

KOMega is the shortened abbreviated version and it seemed to look cool abbreviated.

I can't seem to remember what it was originally though. The meaning is lost to me.

Mine is the name of my first MMO character that was randomly generated by the game and I kept because I liked. I have used it for many things since then. That was back in 2006 when I made that character in Star Wars Galaxies.

I used to do illustrations for a local independent magazine. One of the projects I was given was to draw up an image for an article on console loyalty and the somewhat mindless dedication folks have over their console of choice.

I've never really understood the mentality of folks who give Nintendo a free pass simply because they're Nintendo so I went for the low hanging fruit and submitted a picture of Mario designed to look like Mao Tse Tung from the cover of the "little red book."

My editor, for some reason felt that the idea had merit but was worried about the implication of portraying a known Italian character as a Communist leader. So I redesigned it with Diddy Kong instead, because nobody gives a shit about offending monkeys.

Despite my attempt to avoid controversy, we received a letter from an offended gentlemen who complained about the visual pun because Di Di Mau is a Vietnamese phrase and not Chinese. I honestly hadn't even thought about that when I designed the image.

So there you go.

Diddy Kong + Mao Tse Tung + offended reader = Diddy Mao

The underscore is there because I like underscores.

Johnny Impact is the name of a superhero NPC I created a long time back for a dice-and-paper game with some friends. I also played him in City of Heroes, and possibly Champions Online, though I can't remember for sure. Used it mainly because I like the sound of it.

He was basically a policeman from the future. He used the hypertechnology of his era's law enforcement to make our time better. Maybe I still have a picture......guess not. Imagine a high-tech motocross outfit: red jumpsuit, gauntlets, jet boots. Miniaturization had advanced to the point where, despite appearing minimalist compared with, say, Iron Man, his suit had an impressive array of abilities.

My usual handle is Maladjester, because I used to be much more of a sarcastic misanthrope than I am now. Apparently I registered here under that name way back when the site was new. Came back a few years later, couldn't remember my password, could not recover it as my email was no longer the same. So, new name.

Seriously, I can't stand gamertags that are some common word or phrase or popular thing with bunches of random numbers or X's. I wanted a clean gamertag and user name.

OT: It was my first e-mail account some eleven or twelve years ago. Something easy that young-me could remember.

I've briefly considered switching to the name of my primary World of Warcraft character, but there's a certain innocent charm in the current name that I think would be lost in the translation.

It's the way a childhood friend used to mispronounce my real name.
That's it.

I essentially go by the name Pickles, only my parents and work colleagues use my real name.
And Pickles is taken on most websites so I usually default to ImPickle or gianttalkingpickle.

Sometimes bumblebeetuna, but thats a rare one to get first.

A few years back, I was watching a video on Newgrounds about some sort of secret agent/supersoldier guy. I think the project was scrapped and left unfinished, which was a shame, but that's beside the point.

I'm a rather arrogant person, and the name of the video was the character's nickname: Arrogancy.
