    Snaketales has a dual origin

    At uni while working on the student newspaper I was known as 'snake' for
    1. being 'lower than snake's balls' in scamming freebies (I didn't scam them, I just made sure I was first for concert reviews, etc )
    2. being cold-blooded when it came to subbing/re-writing stories.

    After uni I labelled one of my emails to a friend as 'snaketales' i.e tales from snake, and I've used it since then.

    I originally came up with my name back when I was a huge fan of Dragon Booster (not so much now, since it went downhill as it went on). In the show, dragons were all classified by colours-red, green, black, etc, with gold as the most powerful. But there was no silver, and I like silver (half because it was my favourite Pokemon version). So, tadah, SilverDragon.

    I'd have made a new name for the TF boards, but I was thinking that silver=metal, and TMII Megatron popped up in my head.

    So it fit.

    a long long time ago, when the earth was ruled by dinobots... i was doing a joint project with my friend for a manga series and one day i had to make an email address. So i picked one of my main character names, which, i tell you now, no one had until last friggin year. I had a unique name but now its blended with everyone else the full name is Sparkling Yukitora (yuki/setsu = snow, tora = tiger). that icon is of a different style to what i normally do, but it's close to what the character is. my other name is Tyranidkisses, from wahammer 40k.

    Eons ago there was a mythical land, or so the tale goes, which was divided into 2 malevolent races of creatures: Humans and Demons. Savaged by war, their world was almost annihilated. One lone warrior, whose name was Yzbor, discovered a mystical and powerful portal... a single point in space that contained each and every other point in the universe. Anyone who gazed into it acquired the ability to view the far reaches of the universe, and every moment in time from every angle simultaneously, without distortion or confusion.

    And so it came to pass that this mighty warrior entered in to the portal and became a god! To distinguish Himself from His former life, so as not to confuse His many subjects and His many, many, many stunningly beautiful young wives, He reversed His name to Robzy.

    Robzy, the immortal, is here now. Yes, my loyal subjects, I am that man. I am that God! I am the Supreme Ruler of the universe and time.

    I AM ROBZY! Kneel before me and worship me!



    And by an amazing coincidence ‘Robzy’ also happens to be the nickname of your Leader’s surname!

    Paulbot: I still remember when you went by the handle of "Rhinox." What made you decide to change it to "Paulbot"?

    Ain't ain't a word. I mean isn't a word. Ah crap!

    I used Paulbot first online, but Rhinox at first on the OTCA boards. I can't remember why I changed it to Paulbot except it was on one of the board moves and I think it was in part wanting to people refer to me by my real name but not really sure
