Ah yes the lore behind my name. You see I live near Chicago aka ChiTown. And I've always viewed myself as a scientist type of person. So TheChiScientist seemed fitting. Better than my gamer tag that is pretty similar to my irl name.

A few years ago, I was a bit obsessed with the character Miles "Tails" Prower from Sonic the Hedgehog. That's died down now, but I still really like foxes, hence the profile picture. I don't really remember why I chose the numbers 101, but I believe it had something to do with knowledge (introductory classes).

I was a dumb 8th grader who made an account for the sole purpose of asking you guys what school I should attend. Even in video games, my usernames have been extremely bad/cringe/trash/idk, so I just came up with some random name and now i'm stuck with it cause I can't think of anything else lmao
Unlike people who have more posts and strings attached to their scioly.org usernames, you wouldn't be at as much of a disadvantage if you were to migrate to a new account. This would give you the freedom to have a username that you hopefully like more than your current. Just throwing that idea out there lol
Honestly tho, I kind of wish that we could have like one free name change or smth

Wait, didn't he already migrate from a different account(I think I remembered wrong)? I was reading some older sassy games over the summer and there was something about someone's old account being Apitr[insert numbers I forgot here]?
EDIT: Sassy game 137: Checkmate, username was Arpitr20, I can't seem to figure out whose old account it was...

I protect Arpitr20 (now ESBoi123) because of the reasoning above

Honestly, I'm not very creative when it comes to usernames...
So I used a random username generator! (lol how anticlimactic) I think what made "Nydauron" stick out was because the pronunciation of "Nyda" sounded cool. Plus, I love obscure letters. ('y' is kinda obscure I guess) This IGN has stuck with me for about 6 years now and has been used for almost every non-essential site.

There have been others who have changed their usernames in the past (see User:Assassinator on the wiki), such as tehkubix --> sachleen, trajectoryroxs --> Liv, EASTstroudsburg13 --> EastStroudsburg13, etc.
EDIT: Wiki tag isn't working.

Fifth-grade me set my Minecraft username to my first initial, my last name, and 337, because my birthday (December 3) is the 337th day of a 365-day calendar year. It's not particularly creative, I'll admit, but I don't mind, because at least it's not super embarrassing. This is my username across the Internet, so if you see smayya337 somewhere else, it's almost certainly me.
