My username was going to be Batman before I realized that was retarded. So with a little help from Riku I came up with this one.

"Crazy" has been a part of all my usernames ever because when I was younger I thought it was cool, idk

When I was on Gaia, my friends all decided to add fancy titles to their usernames, Sir, Lord, Emperor, etc. I picked Saint. I dunno, I like saints.

Welp, looks like I won;t be able to use "How did you come up with your username?" as a question in my interviews any more.

Maybe replace it with a different username related question? "If you had to have another username what would it be?" I dunno.

ritalin has a very different effect on people who don't need it

The first two letters are the first letters of me and my brothers first names, respectively, and the "lu" part just seemed to go with it. The 2 is because I tried to sign up on habbo as Ablu, but it was taken. The 2 grew on me over the years.

does it honestly help people focus when studying or is that all just bullshit?

It works differently for people who actually have the disorder it's supposed to treat. You should try asking a doctor instead of people on the Internet.

Exeres is my late grandfather's middle name.

Some 8-9 years ago or so I was using terrible, terrible generic usernames on whatever website I visited. Then I thought I'd man up and actually come up with something at least slightly original and something that's not used by every single person.

I'm not exactly sure how it popped into my head but I thought "hey it's a cool word and I like sweets/bubblegum with xylitol" and then I used it or some typing variation of it for 90% of my Internet usernames forever after.

The tale of my username is a long one. Sit your asses down, it's story time.

So it was back in the ancient time of 2009, when I was actively fooling around on my DSi. As all cool kids did, I got the Flipnote Hatena application and enjoyed derping around with it, making animations and such. At one point I got the brilliant idea to change my DSi username to "Sol Reaper", as at the time I was fascinated with stories of the underworld and death and shit. Not in an emo way, but from a storytelling perspective, like how in Greek mythology you hear about the underworld and the River Styx and all that. So I started developing my own "underworld story". As it were, it turned into a projected Flipnote series using my main character, Sol Reaper. The basic story behind it is that there is a lord of the Underland, and a council of reapers who dictate underworldly matters. Each Reaper is assigned a Latin prefix based on which aspect of reality they rule over. Sol (meaning Sun) rules over the classic elements of Fire, Air, Water, and Earth. I could tell you more, but it might get a bit TL;DR, so if you'd like to hear the entire backstory to my insanity feel free to drop a PM.

TL;DR - I got the name from a story I was writing.

At the time I was looking for a new username (my old one was just a different spelling of my real first name), and I was also going through my 'artist phase.' I was looking around my buddy's room while we were hanging out, and then I spotted a pair of his boxer pajamas. They had an image of a tall ghost, or a yeti, or whatever. It was like a white chubacca. And it had a boombox. Now, I was also really into Mario, so, I just kind of redrew it as, a beatboxing boo. And yes.
