What is the story behind your username (and your custom title if you have one)?

In my own case it quite simple. Just the first letters in my first and last name. Boring and easy to remember

If we ever meet in person, I will henceforth refer to you as Radoop, which is how I prefer to pronounce your username.

Metal Rasputin

I simply tried to think something as ridiculously over the top and badass as possible and Rambo was literally the first thing that came to my mind. Add in word "metal" and you get: "ridiculously over the top metal badass".

Richard Feynman was a Nobel-Prize-winning physicist with a great sense of humor. As I'm studying physics, he's kind of become a role model of sorts, although I doubt he enjoyed metal - there's a story of him playing bongos in a local parade when he visited Brazil.
"2000" isn't very complicated: it's the year of my birth.

Yeah I think so, but I dont use it a lot.
The main association with feynman, which I use daily, are feynman diagrams for illustrating particle decays and interactions

Stiffmeister + Steele from Virgin Steele or Stormwarrior song titles = Steelmeister. I don't know if this was hard to figure out, but nonetheless here it is

Brutal Water

It's pretty simple: I'm a water sign (Pisces) who listens to metal. Duh!

Okay, actually I got the idea from automated youtube subtitles that misunderstood what was being said. The guy in the video was talking about "brittle water", but the subs said "brutal water" and it immediately conjured up images in my head of someone opening a bottle, only to be punched in the face by a watery fist coming out of it.

Aside from that, I also realized that water kills more people than the other elements (probably more than the other three combined), because people often underestimate currents.

It's not really coming from my obsession with Lovecraftian Horror (or "Cosmic Horror" to call it by its proper name), but I did feel "confirmed" when I finally did get around to reading his material.

Plattner

My family name is thought to derive from the word Plattner. Therefore my real name sounds very similar. Plattner were blacksmiths for plate armour. Thus, I thought there are several links why it could fit for a metal forum.
