All right. My first account here was "Locke_boy". I don't know why I wrote it as that, because I prefer it written as "lockeboy". I think that at the time I was overly into proper grammar, and I didn't realize you could have a space in your account name. I'll explain how I got "lockeboy" in a moment, because this account's easier to explain.
Heiwaronsha was a screenname I used on AIM after I stopped using "punk rawk locke" (which I sort of miss, even though I'm more into trance nowadays). It's Japanese for "Pacifist" which is what I am. I can get angry sometimes, but I'm all for peace when it comes down to it.
Anyway, back to lockeboy. When I was younger, around 12 or so (I may be a bit off, but it doesn't matter much), my parents went out to dinner with another couple. We (my sister and I) stayed at their house with their children, a boy around our age and a girl a bit older, who was to be the babysitter. I ended up spending almost the entire time there playing a game called "Final Fantasy 2" on the SNES (was totally new to me at the time). It was utterly addicting. Not too long after that, I wanted to get it for myself. I found out you couldn't buy it anywhere anymore, so I went to FuncoLand (buy/sell/trade used games). The guy there recommended Final Fantasy 3 instead, and I bought it ($60 for just a game cartridge, heh). I loved the game, and I still do. My favourite character turned out to be Locke, the thief (I RP a thief character because of him). This isn't how I got lockeboy, though.
Much later, in my freshman year of high school, I joined a club, and met a senior there who was also interested in FF3. On that particular day, I had a little padlock around my neck, on my chain, that my friend had lent to me. We were talking about Locke, and how he was my favourite character. He noticed I also had a lock around my neck, so he called me "Locke boy" (or "lock boy", however you'd like to spell it). I liked the nickname, so when I made a LiveJournal not much later that year, I used that for my username. Ever since Ed (the boy I met) called me that, it's been my nickname. Oh, this is also why, if you look at any of my old posts on my Locke_boy account, my avatar is a padlock.
When it comes to my RP names, I have a lot of them. The one I use now is Jesse Violaceous Frostwind. It's based off of Locke Violet Frostwind, a character I RPed while part of Dustari. Jesse is my real name (er, sort of), and "Violaceous" means "pertaining to the order plants of which violet is the type". I liked the way it sounded, and since I didn't want them to both have Violet as their middle name, I thought it fit well. Locke I got from Locke Cole of FF3, Violet is my favourite colour, and Frostwind is a last name I adopted from my friend Bitty (account sageofthehalo). Before I had Frostwind, I would go by Locke Cole. I didn't like that, though, because it was highly unoriginal, so I would just go by Locke, most of the time. A few other names I've gone by are "Regnir Emulov Tesd'nah" (the first RP name I ever used, but I added the middle name later), "Haruichiban Seichi", and "Heiwaronsha Seichi". Seichi means "Delicate, subtle", something I felt applied to me well. There are a lot of other names and nicknames I've gone by, but I think I've written enough already. x.x;; |
