[edit] Background

Child Mephistopheles was the most active poster on the forums. A self-described schizophrenic-philosopher, he was quite possibly the most controversial member of the forum, aside from rats. With almost 1 million total words under his belt, he made up almost 10% of the content of the forums. He has been formerly named, most importantly, Drzhen, then Loki, then Mephistopheles. Each of these names were meant to categorize his feelings and thoughts into a compressed pseudonym. Even though these names express an obsession with Satan, he is actually opposed to Satanism on an economic basis, while morally, he shares much in common with Satanism.

[edit] Origins of his Username

Drhzen originated from his still-writing full-length novel, Titan, as the main character. Finding himself too playful for his own good, he changed his username to Loki which would best describe him at the time. Suffering from depression and schizophrenia, he decided to change his name to a more morbid, somber Mephistopheles, a demon from the book Faust by Goethe. He then added Comrade to his name to represent his adherence to Democratic Socialism, along with several other notable members of the forum. He changed his name afterwards to express his change in philosophy.
