So there I was, going to Rome. I mean, we can all agree that the romans give out pretty good names. As I arrived, I immediately asked my butler to take me to the nearest orphanage. I persuaded the director that they have me adopt all the children. The children were ecstatic, most likely because of my looks (cash). So I took all the children and we toured around Rome with me like a mother duck and they the little ducklings. As we approached the Colosseum I asked the children to write down good nicknames for me. When they were busy writing things down, I approached my butler and asked if the preparations are complete. You see, I, with my charisma have rented out the entire place.

I noticed that the children have finished their suggestion so I called them over. When they got closer I had my people give out weapons and armors. In their confusion, I told them that they have to fight each other to the death in the Colosseum; and the winning child will have his/her suggestion be picked by me. Nothing serious, only harmless pranks. But man did they fight. There was one child who's bone protruded after being broken, then he used the sharp edge to stab his opponent to death. He died shortly afterwards due to bleeding. During the entire event, my servants where serving me food and snacks so that I can enjoy watching. When only two children was left, my butler served me five pieces of fried chicken. I thought to myself, "I'm a genius!". So I took that as my inspiration. At first it was Chicken5, but they always say, "When in Rome, do as the romans do." So I changed the 5 into a V. And there you have it, ChickenV.

Oh the winning child? I had him fight a bengal tiger as a finale. But I didn't watch, I was too happy to finally have another name. That reminds me, what ever happened to that kid... Well, it's not my problem.

    ChickenV WOW, never thought your name would have such deep and profound history behind it.
    I never really thought that before but it seems that chickens and crows have a really similar custom, deathmatchs.

    Did I mentioned that time when I made those old woman from the nursing home fight between themselves in order to see who made the best apple pie?

    No you have not. Do tell me the full details in the future, I might also narrate about that one time I had two children watch twilight.

    pliszka is the Polish word for wagtail, in Japanese this is sekirei, "Sekirei" is a famous manga+anime.

    ChickenV When in Rome, do as the romans do." So I changed the 5 into a V. And there you have it, ChickenV.
    so V stands for Victory right?
    i finished reading your description, by the end of it all, i realized i had gotten nothing out of it. i was literally like
    "wtf is this shit", if i wasn't so wonderfully nice like i am, i'd probably pushed you into the ring of the so called colosseum to fight it out with a bunch of chariot pulling gladiators. you can use the bucket of your leftover KFC chickens as weapons against an army of armored clash, blood thirsty gladiators. because those orphans you just adopted? turned out to be their long lost sworn brothers

      I fell in love with a book's character once and it so happened I read around for poems about him. Lo and behold, I found some and one of them described him as 'A dark gem', and I took that for my name, because it just sounded so awesome. Later on I removed the 'A' since it sounded stupid when people called me, 'Hey, ADarkGem', though it lost some of its charm for that in my eyes.

      Runescape generated a name back when I was 7... If I can't use a number in my name on some sites, I use 'Asphyl'. As for how I got that one... I honestly can't remember...

        Miya Hey man, a chicken's bone once broken can be stabbed in jugular. It might take a while, but hey, small steps.

        • Miya replied to this.

          ChickenV and with that styrofoam bucket as a helmet, you could be the next invincible champion of the arena, that is, if you make it out alive

          beware of the ghost orphans, they tends to hunt down their murderer for vengeance ;)

            I once held a huge collection of banned content, that is considered taboo among mortal world... collecting taboo content and safeguarding became my path on which I tread towards immortality and ultimately become a god.... a TabooGod!!

            P.S. even Zeus and Jesus come to my home for AV party, all lower gods are banned though!!(They can't handle the truth... the tabooed subjects)

              ChickenV sorry for bringing up old scores, but a long time after thinking about your story, i realized the V stood for the roman numeral that means 5.

              facepalm
              welp, sometimes i feel like i spend too much time on this forum. I can figuratively visualize the tumbleweed blowing across the deserted landscape. i call it no man's land

                Warlock of the Magus World..... Not a great origin story here guys.

                  The origin of my daoist name can be traced back when I made this account.I just wanted to have a username that's it...and while I'm deciding a "cool" name, I'm reading the poem "I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud" and it matches my nature so that's the origin of this name.I'm wandering like a cloud,just watching and observing it's surroundings.

                  SISOU/SHADOW DRAGON LOL ...... :D
