I used to use Chizz for everything as it's been a family nickname since I was knee-high, but then I found out that was used quite a lot on the interwebs.
While I was trying to think of a new username, I played Sam & Max quite a lot. There was also a running joke of me becoming a butler in the future. So, putting together the "Freelance Police" ond that little gag, my new username was born.

I decided to not be Xx_______xX person #3096 and challenged myself to do something different, but without making up words.

This is what I came up with.

I came up with it a long time ago, back when I first played runescape (about 7 years ago)

At the time, I liked baseball and racing games. So I combined the two words. Stuck with me ever since.

Myself and a friend of mine coined the phrase "jumping over fences" years ago. Basically it is the idea of telling lies in order to avoid an embarrassing truth.

When this happens things get can get needlessly complicated. Plus, it was based on a false story my friend used to tell about how he got a scar from jumping over a fence. It just seemed to work and we ran with it.

Well I needed a XBL gamertag so I picked Mithos which is what I was using at the time. Didn't work. So then I tried Gunner. No surpise, it didn't work. So then I thought back to the near impossible boss to beat from Tales of Symphonia. Bingo it worked. But I also wanted to throw the call number for my favorite Clone Army. The 212th. Smash them together and Pow! all done

All those little people on the computer screen in simulation games needed someone to worship. Why not their button-pressing overlord?

So yeah. God of simulated people. Easy, right?

I thought it was cool.

This was originally conceived as an Xbox Live gamertag and I wanted something to display my interest in fantasy, sci-fi, and war. It also as a bonus shows my love of obscure words.

Originally I was going to be EldritchWarrior, but I thought that looked stupid and didn't have any 'weight'. So my gamertag became EldritchWarlord.

For this site I decided to put a space in between the words for some reason, normally I don't.

Also 3000 posts! =)

Since I joined back when I was still playing WoW, I picked the name I was used to being called - the name of my shaman.

It was either that, or my deviantArt name, LordNaraku. Azaradel seemed to make more sense, really.

Uh.. I don't know, but it also happens to be the name for my USB... so that probably played into it. Probably.

There was this time I played Counter-Strike when I needed a name that sounded cool, so out of nowhere, Deadlock Radium appeared, after that, I used it everywhere.

Was thinking of things, name things, a year or two ago.
It came to me after Skitstone.

So no, it's not supposed to be a Reference, This guy's is.
