    GT II Sethiroth II

    My real name is Seth
    I am a big FF7 fan, Namely a fan of Sephiroth

    While watching Final Fantasy Advent Children with a friend of mine he just started calling me SETHiroth. I kept telling him he was saying it wrong and he said I know, Later on we played some LAN 1v1 on Halo and he suggested I make my gamertag Sethiroth. Kinda Stuck with me ever since.

    Started working in restaurants when I was 15 and none of the Hispanic cooks could pronounce my name when I introduced myself. I'd tell them my name is Duncan and they would respond, "Donkey? Like el burro?" So I gained the nickname el Burro for a bit, which in Spanish was not generally a compliment. Eventually they just started calling me Dunco and on occasion when I was in a pissy mood I was dubbed "el Burro de los Muertos". So I went with it and made el Dunco my gamertag.

    Muller is my lastname and most people call me that, like a nickname. The 'tje' is a diminutive in Dutch, yes I googled it;). So 'MULLERTJE' is a small version of myself.

    Yeah it looks like gibberish in english but the pronounciation is not that hard; MULLER is pretty much given but the 'TJE' is pronounced as 'chuck' or 'chunk' without the last two letters.

    'CHU' -NK

    Yeah like I said, it looks like gibberish in english. Everyone I meet online calls me MULLER-TEE-JAY-EE at first.

    My grandparents are small scale farmers partially for their own enjoyment and partially to grow/raise some of their own food.

    When I was little, they had a couple of roosters. They were real assholes and always attacked me. One day my grandpa got tired of it, grabbed them, layed them down on a stump, and axed their heads off.

    One of those rooster's names? Frantic.

    Anyways, for whatever reason I actually liked Frantic the Rooster despite it attacking me, so his name fondly stuck with me after I witnessed his execution. That, paired with my love of meaningless one-word gamertags, led me to go with Frantjc because some bastard took the original Frantic.

    Bonus: The other rooster who shared the same fate was named Butthead. I'm glad that wasn't the one that stuck with me.

    Bonus 2: It's pronounced "Fran-tic-with-a-jay"

    Bonus 3: Not really
