Before I came up with this name , I had a few other now 'obsoleted' names .
At first , it was 'razor-ivy' because ... well , when I registered myself in my very first forum , it requires me to input my username for login purpose . As I'm always cautious of what I do , putting my real name is a bad idea . So , thanks to my ability to generate names out of the blue , you have 'razor-ivy' (I don't mind revealing this because it's only an account that allows me to access the sites content & it's the only one that uses it)
Then it was 'Theones' , created hastily to replace the 'actual' username when I started using the internet regularly & wanted an image that represent me . I used it for a while till' when I get older , I realized how cheesy it sounded . Also at the same time , I feel like I needed an artists pen name as I started posting artworks online & actually making & publishing one-shot mangas & 'Theones' just won't cut it .
At first I thought of 'Ryuzaki' (I randomly generated that name) , but my gut feelings tells me to not use it as it might give off a bad impression in the future (sure enough , as I got more intimate with the internet , I discover the ill-side of using a Japanese name as my username/pen name) . This is also why I feel like changing most of my mangas character names as well ...
As I play an MMO game , a skill name popped up . That triggers my light bulb & decided to use it because it sounded not shabby & very neutral . Hence , 'Angelus' was born . I used it for a long time till' someone misspelled my name by adding a 'de' before it & as a joke , he/she decided to call me as so . At first I don't mind about it as I don't mind someone calling me by whatever name they're comfortable with (I would do the same as well) . Then my creative mind decided to go impish on me & agree to it .
So , 'DeAngelus' is my current name in the internet & the manga industry , though I still use 'Angelus' once in a while .
If you're wondering what my creative mind see 'DeAngelus' as , it's a shortened form of The Angel of Lust . Contradictory to that , I'm not lustful ... unless one of my smaller goal is to make an 18+ manga counts as one ...
