Same concept as the Why that avatar? thread.

Is there any particular reason you decided to choose that username?

I used mine because Liquid Snake used to be my favorite character from Metal Gear Solid and Hackers used to be my favorite movie.

I used the term of expression 'Sweet'! but the name fell short of the character limit or something, so I had to add more....so I added a 21.
This wasn't for Newgrounds actually, when I was an internet n00b and in middle school I wanted to get a Deezer account since it wasn't blocked at school.
Deezer was a radio much like last.fm, its not available anymore last I checked.

I liked the name so I kept it.

I'm like the devil, i had so many names...

Anyways, "Lucian" cause it's the english equivalent of my name. As for the MK-IV... can't really remember what that was all about. Maybe i'm like a weapon or something, you know "Mark IV". I might be a government secret weapon and not even know it.

Original username was Wilber7. The username lock down was announced to where you couldn't freely change your username whenever you wanted. So I chose TheGreatOne, but it was already taken. So a dash here and a dash here and voila!

Just got a guitar at the time. It was an ESP LTD Viper-50. So I decided to see if "Viper" was available and it wasn't. So I put the "50" on the end of it.

As for my name, it's the one hotmail suggested for me. It sounded alright and was never taken, so I stuck with it.

Well it all started 7 years ago on a website called habbo hotel. It was time for me to create a username that people would actually refer to me as and so I decided to create somthing completely different from what I had before.

As my sig says, I was obsessed with the TV show red dwarf back in 2006. One of the characters in red dwarf is called "Dave Lister". I decided to use his second name "Lister" as a username but that was already taken. After a little bit of messing around, I accidently made an account with the username "Listers." I didn't want to waste a username so I just decided to stick with it.

1 year later I discovered newgrounds. It got to the point where I wanted to create an account pretty fast. I tried my username "Listers" but that was taken so I did exactly the same thing that I did on habbo and accidently created an account with the username "aListers." For the same reason as habbo I stuck with the name and here I am today.


???-2004?=dark ages, 2005?=atomic betty era, 2006=red dwarf era, 2007-2009=newgrounds era, 2009-2014= anime era,

What have I done with my life?

I was talking to my friends in the chat and decided to change my name. I suggested SmartyPants and they all thought it was good. It was only later that I realized that was the name of Twilight Sparkle's doll. I soon forgot about it and thought the name would be perfect for when I decide to make smartass remarks. Also, I like the way it sounds

It was a name I used for a comic book maker game. Now I use it in everything. It doesn't have any meaning to it as far as I know.
