It's been my online persona for the last 20 years. It's a name that means nothing to anyone else anywhere.I assume this has been asked somewhere in the last 153 pages but how did you come up with your provider alias/name/persona?
I was a nobody online with my given name, as it is so popular, with very many accomplished people with the same name. So when I came across a name in an online game name generator, that was one of my favorite characters I created and built up, as I associated with it so well, and the name fit a side of myself I couldn't explain. The name then became me, and I said, if I was ever going to become known, that was the name I would be known by.
It is more personal to me than my government ID. It is who I identify as, beyond the basic person I am in my own private life, and it is my other-worldly side that the basic side dreamed of being, and now gets to be.
The side I kept locked away, afraid to let it run wild.
