The story behind my username started in middle school. My in-game username is InuLong, while I'm known as Umi on the forums.
I first started getting big into online games in 7th grade, rght around the same time I was first getting into anime. That first anime for me was Inuyasha, so my first username was inuyasha1086. I do still have and use that account, although it is no longer my main. The 1086 is just even numbers going down from 10. I was looking for something easy to remember.
I used that username all the way through high school, and my friends all started calling me Inu over the years to shorten it, so when I needed a new account I knew it would start with Inu for recognition purposes. The Long part is actually Chinese in origin. It means Dragon, so my username translates to "The Dog Dragon" lolz. I love dragons. I think they are just so majestic and I love to draw them. I even roleplay them. I now use this username across multiple accounts.
My forum user is really simple, it's just a nickname I used for 4 years in middle and high school.
Would I change either of them? Well, maybe I would change my forum username to Aerial Scar after my sona, but I have no need to change my in-game username. It's unique and easy to remember... and it fits me. So I may change one of them, but never both.
