It started in my 2nd year of high school. I have established myself as a member of a small group of people who are the freaks and outcasts of the high school hierarchy who would one day rule the world (one of us is a practicing molecular biologist). Anyhow, we were the group who were into geek stuff, warhamer 40K, computers, anime/manga (It was fairly uncommon back in 1998-99) Star Trek and Star Wars and such. We also were the cutting edge when it came to technology, especially computers. You can probably say that we were pioneers oh network gaming back when it was still unpopular (Back then Quake II was THE multiplayer FPS while Command and Conquer: Red Alert was the RTS game of choice).
Eventually while thinking of stuff to pass the time during recess and lunch, we started thinking of unlikely superheroes... We though of characters such as PLANTMAN with the power of PHOTOSYNTHESIS! Liverman, along with the Kidney Kids, Bladder Boy, and Commander Colon with his Colon Cannon, all together forming the URINATOR and the DEFACATOR!
Eventually, it came to a point where I brought up the character of Leperman, yep its named after the skin disease. The guy does not feel pain whatsoever, but he loses limbs without him knowing it.
So, what's it got to do with gaming? We just started using weird names to distinguish ourselves in multiplayer games such as Quake II and eventually Counterstrike (I believe I started with Beta 2.0). We put names of people such as Dalai Lama, Ghandi, The pope, and other unlikely people you would see in combat just to get a kick out of it. Eventually we used our imaginary creations... I used names such as The English_Banger (lol innuendo), Bahag Hari Ranger (Note: Bahag Hari is deliberately separate to denote a king wearing nothing a piece of cloth on his crotch, not the Bahaghari which means Rainbow. Although I sometimes use Bahaghari Ranger for no reason). I used Leperman the most often though.
Leperman became associated with me, I was 1337 with CS back then and so was my group of friends, eventually people from different PC shops began calling us by our serer names and we would be called by those names by other players as well. Eventually we decided to make a made a clan. It was decided that I make the name, so I named it the "Leapin' Leper Legion". They know me as Lord Leperman as the leader when it comes to FPS games (I'm not the team leader when it comes to RTS games). So there, I used the name, the name stuck, and I used it until now because it makes things easier for me when people know me by just one name.
Basicly, I used the name that people associate with me the most, so I kept on using it. :tongue:
