Every once in a while, I feel like I need a new identity, like when my personality has shifted a lot or when I notice an aspect of myself I'd like to express, but can't merge with any existing identity. I then choose a name and go by that. So I don't think of "muflax" as a pseudonym, but the actual name of the personality "muflax" in my head.

muflax is simply mu + flax. I like the look of the name. It doesn't have a preferred pronunciation (I don't speak it unless absolutely necessary), but someone once thought it looked like "a Turkish medication", so I recommend a thick Turkish accent.
