Well my original nickname (different from my actual first name) was âcikarin3â - reference to the ÄikarĂ squirrel and my favorite number, back than I joined the community around Dishonored Wolf, so I started using a pixelated wolf as my avatar, that later evolved into the current shiba-looking inugami mascot and was using all kinds of canine related nicknames, or just the word canine/dog in different languages, so it eventually just stuck to me and I became âThe Canineâ.
There are also other two not that used canine related nicknames CAW (short for âCanines Always Winâ) and YOTC (short for âYear Of The Canineâ and a reference to the other fancy sunglasses emotes, that are usually called âYear Of TheâŚthingâ) and as I said many other canine related jokes. đ
