press names

Okay, so you know how when Bruce is acting dumb to distract people from Batman he's Brucie Wayne? And occasionally you'll see a fic with 'Richie' Wayne (Dick aka Richard)?

I did this to the rest of the family.

Jason = Jacie Wayne

Cass (Cassandra)= Sandie Wayne

Tim (Timothy)= Mothie Wayne (yes he's usually competent Timothy but let him be an idiot, okay?)

Steph (Stephanie)= Sandie's Girlfriend Annie (no last name was given, and whenever Steph's asked she says 'It'll be Wayne someday')

Duke= Dukie Wayne (yes he's still a foster kid, but the press just uses Bruce's last name because they're trying to sell the story)

Damian= Ianie Wayne (pronounced 'eeny'; was almost Dami but Damian is weirdly strict over who's allowed to use what nickname and almost stabbed a reporter. His siblings waited until it was his official press name to tell him it sounds like another word for small. Most people think his name is never capitalized and call him Lanie. He very much regrets almost stabbing that reporter.)

When a new kid receives their press name they're horrified for a while, but soon they discover that nobody knows their real name, and that when they aren't with Bruce people don't know who they are. It becomes a weird third identity, especially for Tim who's Timothy, the CEO, and Mothie, Wayne's kid that fell asleep while actively dancing. High society thinks he's his own twin, and he can't correct them, because then his siblings would kill him for destroying their anonymity.

Babs (Barbara) laughs at them and sends them articles whenever the press names are used, but Dick and Bruce still remember when she and Dick were dating and the press called her Richie's RaRa.

The Bomb elbows me in the side. “We came up with your code name,” she mouths. I hadn’t even seen her come in the locked doors.

“What?” I feel as tired as I have ever felt, and yet, for seven years, I will not be able to truly rest.

I expect her to say The Liar. She gives me a tricksy grin, full of secrets. “What else? The Queen.”

It turns out I still don’t know how to laugh.

Meeks: *jokingly* Yes, sir.

Charlie: *points finger-guns at Todd* Todd, codename, “If I Had To Pick A Bro.”

Todd: But, I-

Charlie: And Pitts is…“Eagle Two.”

Pitts: Oh thank god.

The Lone Wolf names of Roost and Ryker

If you encounter an abandoned shack in the Meadows, you can find a secret export ledger wedged between the wall and a dresser. This tome does not appear on the map unless you are standing in the wheatfield directly outside the shack, otherwise it can only be highlighted if you hover over it with your cursor.

The tome is a ledger containing the pseudonyms of three clients: Grizzled Whisper, Dusty Rogue, and Bleeding Baron.

At first glance, the only useful information appears to be on the second page. The ledger tells us the Bleeding Baron's shipment was delivered behind the woodpile, but never retrieved, allowing the player to dig up a bag of loot.

If the player visits the drop-off locations of the other two clients, i.e. Dusty Rogue, no loot may be collected because the shipments have already been retrieved.

But this tome is actually connected to the side quest, The Merchant: the second page provides context to the fate of the travelling merchant, Baran Levere, while the first page hints at the codenames of two prominent Lone Wolves not otherwise revealed in the story.

Ifan ben-Mezd, the Silver Claw, explains that all those who are successfully initiated into their ranks are assigned a codename in the form of a two-word moniker. Codenames are necessary for Lone Wolves who hold active contracts to protect their true identities — they reduce the risk of exposure or retaliation if communications are intercepted, and prevent any transactions from being traced back to their origin. Arranging drop-off locations would allow supplies to be delivered discreetly, minimizing the need for direct contact between the operative and the courier, hence the secret ledger.

The implication of the ledger is that it once belonged to Baran Levere, a merchant in charge of delivering the shipments to drop-off locations specified by his clients. At least -- until he is assassinated, his entire inventory stolen, and his identity assumed by the Lone Wolf, Callo.

Clearly, the Bleeding Baron is a morbid play-on-words for Baran's bloody death, suggesting that Callo is the Bleeding Baron mentioned in the ledger. It is implied through storyline dialogue that Callo requested the shipment so he could lure his target to a more discrete location — the abandoned shack — and kill him.

In Act 2, Ifan gives the player a test to determine what their Lone Wolf name would be. He admits that he doesn't remember all of the questions, but Dusty is one of the answers, implying that the Dusty Rogue in the ledger is a Lone Wolf operative.

From the ledger, we know Stonegarden is Dusty Rogue’s specified drop-off location. Since Ryker is one of the only living beings in the Stonegarden — and a confirmed Lone Wolf — he is almost certainly Dusty Rogue.

Keeping in mind the Lone Wolf naming scheme, now that we’ve identified two-thirds of the clients in the tome are Lone Wolves, it becomes even more apparent that the ledger’s purpose is to keep a record of Lone Wolf exports, in particular. So, we can safely assume Grizzled Whisper must be the cover identity of a Lone Wolf operative, too.

If you visit the Cullwoods Mill, the Lone Wolf camp, you will notice every assassin is named with two-word monikers (i.e. Mummie Dearest, Slumberjack, Elixir Mixer, Honeyhook, etc.) -- everyone except Roost Anlon.

Since Callo is Bleeding Baron, Ryker is Dusty Rogue, and the names of all other Lone Wolves on Reaper’s Coast are known, by simple process of elimination, Grizzled Whisper must be Roost.

What kind of Dragon is this! This is Neither a Tannin or a Valkirtani, the story of Soaring takes place on a relatively small continent, more like a large island, there is a much larger world still out there with other Dragons, Creatures, Cultures, Magics, etc... Azel aka “Hem Locke” The Interloper

Background: Hem Locke is an exile from another continent across the east sea. He came to the land of Laramidia but he has made no effort to interact with Dragons here and actively tries to disappear if he's approached. Some Dragons believe he is a Cryptid, and he's not the only one.

When Hem Locke was banished from his village as a child, he was brought into a "new family”. Now he searching for the remains of his siblings who have scattered to various corners of Laramidia.

Personality: Hem is a very private but kind dragon who tries to only move around when visibility is at his lowest, but he will step in to protect others albeit in a way that won’t reveal his existence. For now he is almost entirely focused on his mission. Only once that’s done will he return home to his beloved mate. However he does appear to have a strange fascination with the 7 Calamities. For whatever reason he doesn’t feel threatened by them.

Strengths: Larger Body, Strong Flier, Surprisingly Stealthy

Weaknesses: Isolated, Insomnia, Fearful

Powers: Void Magic, Enhanced Passive Perception (Those frills by his head are sensitive and pick up movement in the air around him so he is able to feel motion from all directions)

Stats Stamina: 10/10 He can outlast almost anything physically and his magical powers offer a lot of power

Control: 4/10 His magic is unwieldy and violent. He is more like a conductor than a musician, he can direct his power but doesn’t have a lot of command over it.

Intelligence: 8/10 While having no formal education Hem is a quick learner and even taught himself Laramidia’s language

Combat ability: 9/10 He’s unstoppable in the air and extremely dangerous on the ground. He invented several combat techniques to use in the air and on the ground. His only weakness is confined spaces

[askagamedev]

Ok, this borders more on trivia but maybe YOU of all people can pinpoint the origins of this. Why did people for like 15 years begin to call the original PlayStation the "PSX" when the actual PSX was a completely overhauled JP exclusive revision of the PS2? I never got this or understood how it became a thing online.

In the marketing/preview leadup to system launch, Sony originally called it the PlayStation X (rumored to be short for PlayStation Experimental back when Sony was collaborating with Nintendo) so the magazines abbreviated it as PSX. It was the 90s, extraneous Xs were everywhere in popular culture at the time. Despite the fact that the X had been dropped from the PlayStation name by launch, gamers were already too used to calling it PSX by then thanks to the magazine and internet previews so the name stuck. It was a very early example of a meme taking on a life of its own.
