[!karkat]

username: karkat✧
kalon name: willow/will
kalon username: sowrclaws (pronounced sour claws)
why they chose their un: honestly they came up with this username on a whim. they're a kal with a very light appearance, very fluffy and soft. now, that's not to say they dislike how they look. that's not the case at all! will was just a little tired of constantly being brushed-off as some sort of soft, easy to push around kal. of course, their username is still something that fits them, as will feels that it fits their personality nicely. it's something feisty and almost powerful. frankly that's one of the reasons they enjoy gaming so much. will gets to leave behind the real world and be fully immersed in the game, be taken seriously. plus, their username does make them feel pretty cool and often gives them a little boost of confidence.
what their favorite online game is: they're a fan of tons of games, especially multiplayer games, however minecraft is one of the games they've played for the longest, so it's a classic. they especially love competitive hypixel games such as bedwars and skywars (even if they do get a little too competitive with those two).

[Corey Taylor]

Username: Corey Taylor
Kalon Name: Monika
Kalon Username: heartbreakcity
Why They Chose Their Username: Despite Monika's loving nature, she breaks hearts left and right online. She shows no mercy and is blunt with the people that she doesn't like. She likes to think her username lives up to it and is pretty ironic, since she can be so loving. She kinda likes to see them get hearbroken/upset. It amuses her, though she means no harm in it and tries to be fake friendly with the people she doesn't like.
What Their Favorite Online Game Is: Final Fantasy.
Why? Well, when she was younger, her older brother used to play it all the time and Monika would always hear him rage and she would burst out laughing. She would come into the room where he is, after shes done laughing of course, and offer snacks or a drink to help her brother calm down. He would warmly smile at her and say yes every time. It's always a warm memory for her, and since now he's away, playing the game is just even better. And hey, now she rages just like he used to.

username:[/b] Griff
[b]kalon name: Maria
kalon username:[/b] <Pixel_Perfect>
[b]why they chose their un: Maria is a HUGE fan of older games, retro and old school styles. Any games from the NES warm her heart, and she nearly squealed loud enough to wake the dead when games like Shovel Knight came out.
what their favorite online game is: She is partial to FF14 since it does manage to bring back those old school memories!

[SilhouetteStation]

username: SilhouetteStation
kalon name: Delta

kalon username: p@stel_ar@chnid
why they chose their un:
Honestly? She had to. Back when she only had a few hundred subscribers she decided to try live streaming for the first time, and her small audience absolutely flipped out in the chat when a rather large spider was seen creeping up over her back and coming to rest on her shoulder. "For goodness sake, it's just a tarantula," she'd said with a slightly irritated flick of her hair. "And his name is Snuffles, thank you." From there word must have spread because suddenly her popularity skyrocketed, and she felt it fitting to change her username in honor of the eight-legged friend who had given her such a boost.

what their favorite online game is:
On her channel you'll find the usual popular titles; Pokemon, Minecraft, The Legend of Zelda, and so on and so forth. But her favorite online games are the ones she plays for fun, without a camera in her face and the stress of editing later. In her spare time she loves settling down with Snuffles on her shoulder and hitting up the old Disney website for a bit of childhood nostalgia. 625 Sandwich Stacker. Hannah Montana Rock Star Fashion Challenge. Lizzie McGuire Dress Up. Bueno Rufus. For her, it's the best kind of stress relief. Honestly, sometimes you just need to take the time out to have a laugh and relive all of those fun memories.

[Sadcat]

username: CatOwU
kalon name: Cindal
kalon username: Crowsino
why they chose their un: Cindal had always had a love for shiny things, so it kind of became an internal joke between their friends that they had a crow mentality. This ended up being the main inspiration for it, along with their favorite aesthetic (casinocore), of course.
what their favorite online game is: They love a lot of games, but the ones that they have played the most are Night in the woods, Little nightmares and Minecraft!

[hjarta]

username: hjarta
kalon name: Celia (or Liah)
kalon username: ♥.irismatic
why they chose their un: iridescence causes objects or surfaces to appear as if they are changing color, or having a mixture of colors. to liah, this reminds her of rainbows and herself. prismatic illusions are similar to the previously noted phenomenon, having a rainbow-like effect on objects and surfaces as well. so, she simply mashed the words together! the heart resembles her tail shine, of course. liah's goal was to make her online presence realistic as possible to herself
what their favorite online game is: princess farmer (unreleased on steam but it's about being a magical bunny farmer and it looks really cute)

[honee bee]

username: honee bee + 348767
kalon name: Teagan
kalon username: teespoon
why they chose their username: Teaspoon was a nickname that Teagan was given at a young age, and she thought it would fit perfectly as her username. However, many also love the username as well as it is always taken, so she attempted to find an alternative - she personally thinks that adding numbers to the end is tacky, so she tried an alternative spelling. And that's how she came upon teespoon.
what their favorite online game is:
Teagan prefers slice-of-life games and simulators, so when she got a new switch she of course had to load it up with games like stardew valley and animal crossing new horizons. Teagan has spent hours on animal crossing trying to get her two favorite villagers Lily and Jerimiah to move in and to perfect her island. Needless to say, she loves showing off her island to visitors whenever possible. Begrudgingly, she will play Minecraft with her friend Ty if he begs, but she usually makes houses out of mushrooms and collect animals while Ty does all the work.

[Saeli]

username: Saeli
kalon name: Namira, She/her they/them
kalon username: Deviant Soul
why they chose their un: When they were young, Namira was told she shouldn't like video games due to the fact she was a girl. Namira always had to deviate from her parents wishes in order to indulge in her passions.
what their favorite online game is: Namira has loved many games throughout the years, but their current favorite is Risk of Rain 2. She loves that RoR2 is a cooperative game she can always have a good time playing with her friends and chosen family. Since it is a player versus environment game, she and her friends can always end the evening in a positive mood. It's a great way for her to bond with those she cares about and be her true self at the same time.
