My story is not that exciting and there is close to no meaning behind my name.

My very first username was Agent 55, which is what my parents used to call me when I wanted to be a spy. I used this to sign up for my first Runescape account, then forgot that account in about the 3rd grade. I got back into Runescape in 6th grade, and chose to be SamuraiRam, because I was really into (still am) Karate at the time.

Then, I got into Minecraft near 7th grade and did not use SamuraiRam because it was a bad decision which I regretted. So, when signing up for a spam email account, I chose AmericanDodo@ .com and then made my Minecraft account be AmericanDodo also.

While I was into Minecraft I also got in eRepublik.com where I was the Australian Vice Prime Minister but did not want to be "American" when I was playing in Australia (though their eAussie community was about half Americans) and therefore chose Reximus.

It is based on Rex, or king, and -imus just sounded cool. Better tham -amus or -emus, in my opinion. Later on I found out that it means "we have ruled" in Latin, kind of illogically.

When I signed up for the Wiki, I tried Reximus, but it failed and I had to be Reximus55, a portmanteau between my original nickname of Agent 55 and latest of Reximus. And now, I am just Rex.
