Kouhai was my ex-girlfriend's nickname for me. I requested a name change here to Bryce D some months later as it was my real name, which was a terrible mistake. After I had that name change, I legally changed my name to Greyson, and thus had a name revert here as there seemed to be no other option. Even though I haven't really been a part of Smogon in the past, a name change here would be greatly appreciated. As I write this, I'm working on a competitive comeback to the world of Pokemon; I was previously a VGC player and a member of the PokeBattle fangroup, even getting to the third round of the previous OST (which I'm very proud of, to be honest). Smogon seems like the only place to really start that comeback, so going in with a fresh start would be fantastic.
As for the username I'd like to change to, I've chosen Lawler for a few reasons:
- I'm a huge fan of euphony in words, and aerugo, though a type of rust on metal, has a great roll-off-the-tongue rhythm.
- Lawler is a name that I am known by in real life after my legal name change. That kind of financial and legal commitment has to show for something, right?
- Lawler is a completely different name from other usernames I've used in the past in that: there is no similarity to previous name sounds or visuals, the name gives me a better sense of self, and allows me to have a better tether to my username.
