[monsterbrum]

So my name is bram (dutch) and in the most games brum was too short or allready tooken so changed it into monsterbrum 

[Baggy]

I have no idea where my name comes from, i mustve been too drunk to remember it

[DJ_HI_TEC]

Before I joined DL, my in game nick was DJ_HI_TEC, which I use in many games. It's from the Die Antword video Zef Side, where they introduce the members of the band. DJ HI TEC is the fat guy with a "PC Computer" who makes next level beats. I took one look at his beautiful fatness and fell in love. Thus, I adopted his name.

In game, I'm DL_HI_TEC, which still gets the point across without the ridiculousness of "DL_DJ_HI_TEC".

[Kenji]

Kenji = Japanese version of Ken-Jay
Ken-Jay = English version of my Chinese name

As for Gearhardt, it was from a common forename of Germanic origin, Gerhard.

[Rannepear]

[CoWorm]

Nothing special really. The Conqueror Worm is a poem by Edgar Allen Poe that I for some weird reason had stuck in my head at the time of character creation.

Lo! ’t is a gala night
   Within the lonesome latter years!   
An angel throng, bewinged, bedight
   In veils, and drowned in tears,   
Sit in a theatre, to see
   A play of hopes and fears,
While the orchestra breathes fitfully   
   The music of the spheres.

Mimes, in the form of God on high,   
   Mutter and mumble low,
And hither and thither fly—
   Mere puppets they, who come and go   
At bidding of vast formless things
   That shift the scenery to and fro,
Flapping from out their Condor wings
   Invisible Wo!

That motley drama—oh, be sure   
   It shall not be forgot!
With its Phantom chased for evermore   
   By a crowd that seize it not,
Through a circle that ever returneth in   
   To the self-same spot,
And much of Madness, and more of Sin,   
   And Horror the soul of the plot.

But see, amid the mimic rout,
   A crawling shape intrude!
A blood-red thing that writhes from out   
   The scenic solitude!
It writhes!—it writhes!—with mortal pangs   
The mimes become its food,
And seraphs sob at vermin fangs
   In human gore imbued.

Out—out are the lights—out all!   
   And, over each quivering form,
The curtain, a funeral pall,
   Comes down with the rush of a storm,   
While the angels, all pallid and wan,   
   Uprising, unveiling, affirm
That the play is the tragedy, “Man,”   
   And its hero, the Conqueror Worm.
