I at one time used a Graphical Chat world called ‘The Palace’ my avatar was called Shadow, another user had that name so I changed it to character of Terry Brooks (The Shannara series) there were these creatures in the book called Shadowen and the name kind of stuck.
I've been asked this umpteen times over the years and the answer is... I can't!
Best I can give is back in the day, I often used "Lord of Ra" in games that asked for a name. Then, 20 years ago, I had the username "Lord Arse" on online forums. Why I chose that? I have no idea!
My real name is Dean Belfield, but I have this social media account for retro computing stuff. The alias "L Break Into Program" is an error message on the Sinclair Spectrum. It just seemed apt, and it stuck.
