named after my wife, shawna hawkins from armistead maupins tales of the city

I work on aircraft as a profession. The first plane I ever worked on for money was a Pilatus PC-6. There ya go.

I misspelled "Windell".

For this particular username I was simply fed up with being confused with another similarly named person on the site. I thought about my preferred hobby, and thought it witty to have my name represent “Ink” and “Incarnate” in reference that this is simply another incarnation of my many internet personas. I later learned a mapmaking site had the same name and hated it, but I don’t want to rename myself anytime soon again.

Hey the name works since you like making maps in EU4 for RPs and such. Like the one for your 1910s academy RP, for instance.

Basically I'm gay

Golden age of spambots. Felt like being a smartass and making an alt for the memes.

The alt has overcome the main.

There's a game called Luftrausers. The little craft you control is called a Rauser. Poof, username acquired. _{Its also part of the title, but that makes it even less exciting}

In hindsight, probably should've used one of the other usernames I tend to used quite often. They also have better stories about their creation.
Oh well.

Long ago, discussing the nicknames Americans have for people from different states, and what the "official" name for such people are. I am from Connecticut! Our official name is "Connecticutian." One nickname is "Nutmeggers" (we are the Nutmeg State), another is... something less family-friendly.

The topic of the word "Yankee" came up as a nickname for Americans in general from non-Americans, and in the US for Northern states, and in Northern states for people from New England in general (even though NY has a baseball team of 'Yankees' it's a New England term apparently!)... and from there it breaks down even more for CT or VT people. Well I like the word. Been "Yankee" online for many years now

My favorite color is blue. Demon is word play on my last name. HINT: my last name changed just a little is the name of a very famous demon. Therefore my username is me~

Hail to the great Diablo.

The name carries with it some personal reflection. 'Vaeltaja' is Finnish for 'wanderer', and I had this confirmed by an acquaintance of mine who hails from Finland themselves. Essentially, it was a name for a "reality-ender" NPC in a tabletop campaign that eventually fell through because I was an inexperienced DM; one that I hope to bring back in some form at a later date. The NPC was a mysterious figure who had the ability to travel through any dimension and timeline he so chose, for the sole purpose of communing with and bringing peace to the dead. I ended up basing the design off the character in my account picture, who is themselves from a game called The Mooseman. The sub-affix "Nomad of Eternity" is relative: 'nomad' is a synonym for 'wanderer', and since he can wander through any timeline - past, present, or future - he has access to all of eternity.

As time went on, the name sort of rooted itself into my personal life. Mentally, I never had the opportunity to sort of ground myself. I'm in a constant, perpetual existential crisis, and that stems even further into my identity. I don't really know who I am or what my purpose is, so I wander, and that's why I chose the name.

Well, I like oak trees, and my initials spell the word OAK. The 7 resembles a T, and looked, to my eye, cool.
