What is your origin story?

Theophany · 1 May 2020 at 23:40

wikipedia so it must be true said:
In entertainment, an origin story is an account or backstory revealing how a character or group of people become a protagonist or antagonist, and it adds to the overall interest and complexity of a narrative, often giving reasons for their intentions.

I think everybody who posts on these forums is a bit of a superhero or supervillain in their own right. Regardless as to whether you're the guy helping people chase down their GPU issues in the hardware forums or you're that **** who turns up on a Friday to... nevermind.

Anyway, your forums username is your Superhero or Supervillain identity. Maybe it alludes to your superpower or your weakness, maybe it is a hint to your hidden backstory? What is your origin story? Hell, for a bit of fun, pick somebody else on the forums and do it for them!

@Raymond Lin has the superpower of seeing everything with an incredibly blurry depth of field filter through his superhuman eyes.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.

So does the OP's. He wants to be taught the god-man songs to improve the efficiency, fortune and tonal range of his social devotions. The thread is his kyrie elison. Who can respond to his sweet calling?

I always assumed it was an allusion to his penchant for topiary arson.

Theophany was the by-product of a battletoad

I had a pain resetting my password and had to contact EA support... Oh wait, wrong Origin

I was the sub always left on the bench

I was the snow that falls in June
The sun that goes round the moon:

The last and fastest legs of the relay.

I was the lad on the school playground who always had to go in goal for footy as I was so fat.

Gray2233 · 2 May 2020 at 13:38

Can I pretend I traveled back from the year 2233, and didn't just face-plant the number keys after typing in half of my name?

I've had Origin ever since I downloaded BF3

Snap!

Although I ended up fairly decent at it and actually enjoy it now!

I'm 62 this month and I'm still as hot with the ladies as I ever was.

@Theophany when and why did you come back where you not away for years, what happened?

I was convicted of a string of fraud offences and only recently completed my sentence.
