[puggsoy]

Well, a few years ago, I had to make a Google Account so that I could use Blogger, since we had to make a blog for school. I was thinking up cool names for my account, and eventually settled on puggsoy. This name is derived from Puggsy, which has been my favourite game since pretty much forever, and since I didn't want to use the exact name (just didn't seem right), I kind of morphed it by plugging in an O. It's unique, almost nobody will relate it to Puggsy (since the game's pretty unknown), and it doesn't have any numbers (I dislike numbers in my usernames).

Ever since then, all my usernames on forums and other online accounts has been puggsoy. It's intentionally non-capitalized, since that's how I originally created it, and I like consistency. People often type the name capitalized, which I don't really mind, but I rarely make accounts like that (only my DS name and increasingly underused Club Penguin account have a capital P).

Before puggsoy, I used to be Holland Guy. But that's only on a few old forums that I never go on (and my Advance Wars By Web account), since I didn't really do much internet-related stuff back then.

[Sevenstitch]

I have a scar on the bridge of my nose. I received this scar at a very young age as the result of a dog bite.
It took Seven Stitches to connect my nose to my face. The stitch marks have faded over time, but the scar
remains.

As to why i was bitten, well, that's simple; I stepped on the dogs testicles whilst it slept. Sorry It couldn't be
a cooler reason. No gunblade battles here, just a step to the groin.

[Chaoxys]

Years ago my friend who programs wanted to make a game with me. He wanted me to do graphics so he told me about spriting. Since I had never sprited before, I just started doodling. The first thing I made was a small robot that was a mix of Deoxys and Chaos 0, which I went on to name "Chaoxys". Later on I made a larger boss version (which is now the design of my current character).

[Lexou Duck]

Lexou is derived from my first name, "Alexis" (it's a guy's name in france)

And Duck is derived of my last name

[Ashura]

It came from a Sonic 2 glitch. Sometimes Sonic's palette messes up in Emerald Hill (forgot the exact way to do this) and causes him to turn green. My original alias was "Ashurasonic". In 2008, decided to stick to a simpler name to separate myself from the Sonic franchise (which was at its worst.) Although my opinion on the franchise improved since then, I prefer to use the simpler name as it actually means something (ten in Arabic).

[Britt]

A nickname received irl due to my uncanny ability to speak a perfect british accent.

Its also a shortened version of my real name.

Wouldn't Ashra be more accurate for ten in Arabic? I mean, I pronounce Ashura "a-shoo-rah", while Ashra would be "ash-rah", which is what I think is closer to the Arabic word. Then again, if you pronounce Ashura quick enough, it does sound like Ashra.
I'm talking about Egyptian Arabic though, Middle Eastern Arabic (UAE and whatnot) might be different.

That's a common romanization problem. Another example would be "Sasuke" (Naruto" which is actually pronounced more like "Soske" (but due to how it is written, many synchronizations do it all wrong).

[Mighty Jetters]

I always pronounced it "a-shur-a".
