NewClassic has been my iconic forum and game-account moniker for quite some time now, roughly 8 or so years (which makes me feel exceedingly old). It came from spending a week in the woods, hunting down the highly elusive oxymoron...
Okay, in all seriousness, it was a decision for an oxymoron after about 15 minute's thought, and realizing I thoroughly liked the username. From then on out, it's stuck with me through several forums, games, blogs, writing sites, and what have you. Hitting me up on Google will likely net you a large collection of my various accounts from places. (And several furniture outlets, oddly enough.)
The history is rather boring, but the (ever-evolving) avatar (and accompanying persona) have a lot more life and history to them.
I do like the name, for all of its simplicity. I'm sure the locals like it, too.Probably because it does a lot of community-centric writing, the self-centered lot they are. (Just kidding, gents. You know I love you all.)

My name was given to me a year or so back by some friends while playing Gears of War. Since I almost always was the first one to die they started calling me Kenny, you know from South Park. Though in that same game I killed the entire other team at least three times over and so I eventually got the "Conqueror" part. Put them both together and you have yourself my name.
Mr. Roadie it's weird that our weakling friends recruited another wuss to help them out but who am I to judge? As to the headbutt, was it as funny as the time in practice you got hit in the stones twice within a few minutes of each other? 'Cause that was fucking hilarious.Roadie said:
I got mine from how my friends used to describe my skill at the Megaman Zero and X games. They called me a machine at it XD so I figured "What the hell, why not?"
I picked mydogisblue for the same reason I pick it for every other forum on the internet.
Because no one else uses it.

Zantetsuken is the name of Odins Sword from the Final Fantasy series. Means "Sword that cuts steel" in japanese apparently, and thats pretty cool. The "Q" is for my first name which is pretty hard to pronounce from the spelling (Qaysar), or so it seems for a lot of people.
I know this topic has been done because I posted on a different one. But that doesn't stop me from talking about myself and how awesome I am! I always liked the color crimson and phoenix is a favorite mythological creature for me, so I tried it on Xbox live but "crimsonphoenix" was taken. So a few corruptions later and you wind up with "crimson5pheonix". On a side note, after an XBL update, my 360 informed me that "crimson5pheonix had been taken and I should choose a new name, so I went with "crimson6pheonix" for my XBL account. Another side note, Shrouded Wraith was my second choice.
Back when I used to play Runescape (I was young back then...and stupid), I stupidly decided to use my real name with some numbers as my username.
Someone said "Hey [insert username here]" and I didn't know if they meant me in the game or in real life.
Scared shitless, I asked my dad to make a new account for me and he just randomly typed up "Jumplion" as a username.
Needless to say, that username has stuck by me since that day and now I use it for pretty much everything.

My nick has been with me for a good 15 years... I honestly have no clue where I got it... but I plan on using it for a lot longer!
oh, by the way, it is a soft "e" in zebrin, it isn't pronounced like zebra. (In fact, it has absolutly nothing to do with zebras...)

Blair Bennett is the name of a character I created for use in a short story (it really wants to be a novel) I'm in the process of writing. It's really as simple as that for me. Nothing really profound for me to say about this name. I won't give you any information about her, because, once I'm done, I might post the story here on the Escapist, depending on whether or not I actually have the diligence to finish it (a lot of my stories get lost on old hardrives and never actually see the light of day). I promised a friend that I'd include his last name in one of the stories that I write, and Blair is just a name. It was originally supposed to be a temporary thing, but I guess it stuck.
#2521 of Omega Squad reporting, sir!
Omega 2521 is my airsoft call sign which then became my gamertag, which in turn became this.
