Back when I did sprite comics, I needed a Author Persona character for it, which was the way of sprite comics at the time...So I ripped Dr. Wily's head off his body and replaced it with Dr. Robotniks (Yes, I refuse to call him Eggman). The lack of neck, squirrly mustache and little dumpy body amused me greatly. I dubbed him Doctor Scraps.
The name eventually replaced my old online moniker of "The Slayer 0.1"
When I got into College, and my Sprite Comic days rather far behind me, the name eventually got tagged onto me by my gaming group. I can't even recall the last time they even called me by my real name. Though the alternate name of Scrap Heap has become prominent.
