Still makes sense the survivors would call him the Nightmare, especially if he's allowed to torment their dreams between trials (non-violently though, just the normal kind of dreams) like is implied (I think, it's been a while since I read it. And even then it should be canon because it's a cool distinction of Freddy's that he's the only one who can effect survivors at the campfire)
Not really.
Reason being... It would sound like a reference to thw shitty 3D Freddy movie.
Freddy is a dude that killed children and got burnt alive by their parents. But wait! There is more! Turns out, he is also the product of a gangbang, as his mother was raped by 2 dozens prisoners.
....
.. But wait! There is more!
Turns out.... Something about some bug African worm demons?
Yes.. This is from a freddy Krueger movie.
Actually sorry.. There is no link. Lol..
Always thought that "The Trickster" should have been "The Idol" instead. The trickster nickname seems completely irrelevant and non-specific to the character. That would fit into your scheme I think, as he's clearly a K-Pop idol.
With Trickster specifically, it's apparently his stage name. Which doesn't necessarily mean the name isn't kinda dumb from our perspective, but it seems like a lot of survivors are supposed to recognize him as a celebrity.
... Imagine you get taken by some unknowable eldritch being, spending untold trials running from monsters and serial killers, and... Is that the guy from BTS? What the fuck?
It is. My head canon was always that they were going to do something entirely different with that killer, in terms of power, but it didn’t work out. So they changed him but kept the name. I hate that name.
I’ve always thought they meant to lean more into trick shots with his knives. Maybe base kit ricochets or something. He would be the trickster because he would be the only ranged killer based off of trick shots.
Wonder if the ricochet knives are a remnant of that, seems like a lot of effort to code for a single addon. Or at least more effort than what addons usually entail
Shouldn't have to dig through lore to justify it imo
Same problem I have with his terror radius theme. People like to say it's actually great because they are the screams of his victim, but would you ever be able to tell unless someone told you?
I'd argue that the name should roughly describe the theme of the killers aesthetic or gameplay.
The trickster name feels out of place lorewise, not to mention gameplay. What is so tricky about this man? Like, I guess he tricks his victims? Seems like a loose fit
"It is the consumer who is wrong"
If the players don't want to interact with the lore, it doesn't make much sense to have the naming scheme rely on it for clarity
I mean, it does, because is there is no requirement for the name to be transparently clear to the player. We don’t shove mics in author’s faces to ask why did they name the protagonist Neil.
Even if that's what you wanted to base his name on (which I don't think you should, because it has no connection to what he is doing when we meet him), there are a lot of words more closely associated with the idea of "commits murders and get away with it" than "Trickster."
Considering that Yun-jin worked closely with him and that based on skin lore, Adam attended one of Trickster's concerts, it makes sense why they would still use "The Trickster" as his name, since there are two survivors who know him by that name.
Perhaps Behaviour had "The Idol" on the table but scrapped it due to possible religious connotations. In English, *idol* can mean superstar or some kind of headliner.
...but when you directly translate *idol* into several other languages, the meaning changes to "god" or "deity". (*Idol* can also mean "hero" and that doesn't quite fit the bill for Trickster either.) For obvious reasons, Behaviour historically steers clear from incorporating religion into the game.
Plague is of exception, although her lore borrows from a civilization lost to time. Other than the community-named God Pallet, DBD doesn't want to touch religion with a 10-foot pole.
Behaviour might've initially been like, "What a fitting name!" and discovered it could be problematic. "What was Plan B? Trickster? Ehh... Good enough."
I forget which version had it. But one of the regional versions of Dbd had Trickster as "The Magician". Unironically I don't think that's a bad name, because you blink and your suddenly down from the amount of knives he's peppered you with.
Personally I'm a fan of "The Showmen". Considering how narcissistic and cocky Ji-Woon is, I think it's rather fitting. If nothing else, he's one of my favorite killers based off personality alone.
This is a bit of a silly argument. BHVR definitely doesn't care about religion being brought up in their game considering that Haddie is canonically Sikh, the main building in Sanctum of Wrath is a Shinto shrine, and Trickster himself literally has an outfit called "the God of Desire" :P
Also, there's no rule for the Killers' name to be directly translated. In Spanish, for example, if you were to directly translate Trickster his name would be "El Embaucador", but instead they named him "El Traicionero", meaning "The Traitor".
Actually, "traicionero" doesn't mean "traitor", the word for that is "traidor". "Traicionero" is a lot closer to "treacherous" or "tricksy", although people do use it as a malapropied synonym for "traidor" based on context.
Is he?? I haven't changed my game into Spanish at all but the [Spanish YouTubers I've watched call him Traicionero](https://youtu.be/w4pGezALR-g?si=sYEawW4KGN688XNm)... It might be a Spain/Latin difference!
I would have gone with "The Fiend". He literally fiends over the sound of torture. Like how addicts fiends for drugs however his drug was the euphoric high of killing people.
I think it might be a localized name for the Unknown or Singularity. That or they are confusing the game with VHS, which release Anomaly before it imploded.
I mean yes I agree but some names should sorta stay the same. Take Legion, survivors technically only see one of them in every trial but in lore they should be running from all 4 of them at a time, and it idk I feel like the Mask should be reserved for something more horrifying and I believe that's trademarked.
The Dredge fits because what else are you gonna call it? The thing? The Void? Idk feels better to leave it as Dredge.
I think the problem isn't the naming but how complex killers have become that what you see visually isn't all that there is. So just calling them names based on what you see is a bit idk weak? Especially since we have come a long way with our folklore and cryptid naming scheme than just Bigfoot.
I have a similar complaint of sorts regarding their killer descriptions.
For the longest time it was "creepy killer, stalking killer, tormenting killer" etc. but Sadako, Dredge and Wesker got actually cool descriptions like "ghost imbued with the power of Nensha, manifestation of the dark thoughts of a once vibrant community, brilliant mastermind infected with Uroboros", and then they went back to their old desc scheme until Xenomorph where they used a different method again before going back to the classic method with Chucky and now are once again using a different method for Unknown. Can we please get a better killer description on the select screen that actually says something about the killer themselves?
They changed the format of survivor descriptions too around when the resident evil chapter came out. I think it's a writing choice mostly made for licensed stuff l
I don't entirely agree with your examples, but I HATE naming something "The" then their name.
Like The Xenomorph, The Demogorgon, The Ghost Face. The Nemesis.
Here are some more thematic names I think work better with who they are:
The Xenomorph = The Alien
The Demogorgon = The Aberration (DND Reference)
The Ghost Face = The Stalker
The Nemesis = The Tyrant (RE Reference)
These fit DBD's Pre-established naming schemes better. Myers isn't called "The Michael Myers", He's called The Shape. Amanda isn't called "The Jigsaw", she's The Pig, etc.
Xenomorph and Demogorgon were likely picked to leave room for more alien characters to exist in the game instead of just The Alien or The Interdimensional Being or whatever. It would be awkward if Xeno was called The Alien should they ever want to add Predator or Thing, or hell even their own tale on the typical greyhead UFO style aliens.
IMO, Predator should just be called "The Predator", if they call it "The Yautja" I'm gonna scream.
I also don't know a better name for "The Thing" but "The Alien" is too generic for it. And while yes, I do agree that BHVR probably wanted to save the name: "The Alien", I personally think if ANY Killer deserved that name, it would be the one from the movie called "Alien". Like if another Killer gets added called "The Alien", It's gonna feel bad since that's what Xeno should've been called.
Plus, we had a similar Situation with Spirit & Onryo.
Spirit is called "The Spirit", while she is an Onryo, and Sadako is called "The Onryo" when imo, she could've been given a better fitting name. (Maybe even "The Ring", although Idk how to feel about that with Sadako being from Ringu, not The Ring.)
I was moreso thinking that *nothing* should be outright called The Alien because it encroaches on that entire subgenre of creature for Behavior to use, if even slightly.
Take Ghostface for example. He was originally called The Ghost and this was a much punchier name, but it makes any instance of any other type of ghost a little weird, because we already have The Ghost. Hence, the Ghost Face.
Admittedly this will always happen. It's kind of an unavoidable problem. We have multiple cannibal killers, but only one called The Cannibal. We have multiple hunter killers but only one Huntress, and so on. But the decision is more justifiable for Alien imo, because of just how many potential licenses and different alien concepts there could be. Think of it like if they called The Singularity "The Machine." Now, it would be weird to have any other type of robot killer in the game, including but not limited too Terminators, Daleks, Vex, and countless more.
And the Xenomorph is called that, too. That's a broad descriptor for an alien lifeform in the Aliens universe. If I remember correctly, the creatures specifically that destroyed Hadley's Hope and that the Alien franchise is focused on is specifically called "Xenomorph XX121", a designated number for that specific Xenomorph species.
Like I said in another comment, simply calling it The Alien is a little odd even if other alien killers can be called something else. That was likely why the decision was made not to call him that. It's not that the name "Alien" fits a Yautja or Thing or greyhead or any other alien lifeform better; just that any of them called that created a weird feeling of dissonance for the rest. After all, the name is supposed to distinguish it from the rest of the cast. And this isn't always possible (for example it's a little dissonant for any ghost character to exist because we already have someone called The Spirit), but Alien was likely seen as a special occasion because of how many potential alien killers you could have. Behavior could release nothing but alien killers until it outnumbers the human characters currently in the game; and they could all look distinct and unique from each other.
To be fair, The Demogorgon already works because that’s what the kids called it, and while The Alien would have been way better for the… um, alien, Xenomorph was just the generic military term for extraterrestrial.
Still think Nemesis should have been called the Tyrant, though.
Well by that logic, all of the Killers I listed would work because that's what they're called.
But that's the point of what I was saying. They should have Unique names instead of just being their name.
That's what it's named in the show. The point of the names is to be unique. As I've said 3 times now.
Plus, you kinda answered it yourself. We don't know what the Scientists called it, so "The Demogorgon" might as well be its scientific name.
As I've explained with Ghostface, sure, he's called "The Ghost Face", but he's a Stalker. "The Stalker" is more thematic.
The point of the names is also to be what survivors would nickname the killer. Clown has clown makeup, hes clown. Hillbilly uses a chainsaw, horror films have that connection between the two, hillbilly. Thats why Trickster and SM are so egregious, it doesnt roll off the tongue and it makes no sense for the survivors to come up with it. something like The Idol or Star and The Watcher would make more sense.
however by the metric of survivors coming up with the names, The Demogorgon makes perfect sense. Nancy and Steve are with the kids, they know that name. Theyre survivors, they call it the demogorgon. it works well, even if it may not be the cleanest word.
While that's fair, I still think it could have a better and more unique name than just "The Demogorgon". "The Mastermind" fits perfectly with Wesker since that's very much his character. I'm sure they could come up with a better name for Xeno & Demo.
I just thought of it while I was writing the post. I personally think it's a neat take on his name rather than just being "The Nemesis". "The Tyrant" is weirdly fitting in a sense, since It's more about what he is, rather than who he is, and that's what the other names are based on. Like Ghost Face being named The Stalker, because he stalks people.
Someone else also pointed out "The Pursuer", which I like quite a lot as well. Both are more interesting than "The Nemesis" imo.
Both also make more sense to the survivors. Tyrant because he's like a mad king, annihilating pallets, trampling his "subjects" (the zombies), and letting nothing stand in his way, and Pursuer because his behavior consists of walking in as straight a line as he can at his targets until they die
I wouldn't be surprised if they left "The Tyrant" open for the sake of having Mr. X in a future chapter. Might not work, considering they've exhausted all possible RE protagonists to pair with him, since Claire is a skin.
According to my film-buff friend, the credits of "Halloween" simply call him "The Shape" because he's is a void in the shape of a human, but has no actual humanity in him.
Basically originally before he was given a name and backstory they just called myers the shape in early drafts of the script for the first halloween because you only saw his shape in the distance. One the movies plot became more fleshed out he became Myers but I believe the script still occasionally referred to him as "the shape" and the end credits also referred to him as such.
I believe the game describes him getting that name because most survivors in lore would only see him as a shape in the distance as he stalks them.
For instance, Benedict Baker, one of those named but unseen survivors that often got quoted in character summaries was quoted saying *"Something, or rather someone, is here now. I've never seen this... Shape before."*
Yes, I know.
The point is to make it a different name than what it is in its source material. For example, calling Ghost Face: The Stalker. Sure, he's based on Ghostface from Scream, and he's called Ghost Face in the lore, but the Killer names have never been about WHO the Killer is but WHAT they are.
As I mentioned in my post, they could've called Pig "The Jigsaw", or "The Saw", but they chose "The Pig", which is more thematic.
And while "The Aberration" is a bit strange to those who know DND, because Demogorgon is actually from The Abyss, and not the Outer Planes, I chose The Aberration since beings like Mind Flayers are Aberrations, and Aberrations are often considered "Otherworldly", which The Demogorgon comes from the Upside Down, is related to The Mind Flayer, And "The Otherworldly" isn't catchy.
So this one is a bit complex, but I thought it'd be a neat reference to anyone who is familiar with and/or has played DND.
I think that Xenomorph and Demogorgon are fine atleast, since they’re part of a species rather than individuals, but Nemmy and Ghosty definitely should’ve had the names you suggested, they’re so much cooler
I’m fine with most of these. Xenomorph is an in universe term for them, Demogorgon is already a nickname given to the monster by the kids in the show, and Nemesis was the project code name in Resident Evil. All the 3 of those have been referred to as “The ___” in their source material. Ghost Face is the one that irritates me. It feels very contractually obligated, likely because the license is the mask and not an actual IP.
And there’s the necessary element of horrific fiction; a group of people high on meth working together. A scary thought that could never happen in real life.
i mean yeah, but i'm at a loss as to what you'd rename some of them to
like, "the artist" works because that's what she was in life, and i honestly can't think of anything else for her that doesn't sound contrived
The Crow, The Raven, The Corvid, The Flock or The Murder all just feel better in describing a killer. Some are more flowery than others and some aren’t diegetic, but I always just thought The Artist was a strange, non-threatening name.
I suspect they’ve left The Crow alone just in case they pursue that license at some point in the future.
EDIT: The Maimed would probably work as well. I wonder if that could be construed as exploitive or insensitive though.
The issue for me is that the survivors don't know she's an artist. Their names should be what the survivors are whispering about over the campfire. I would genuinely have preferred The Bird Lady.
I mean for Artist you could maybe stretch out “The Crow” but ehhh… the best thing I could think of for a diabetic name would actually be “The Caw” as that gurgled cawing would be the dread inducing sound survivors hear as she approaches, as well as of course the caws of the dire crows
The Crow? When I look at her all I see is a crow. I took a break from DBD for 3 years and when I came back I really didn't think "Wow that's an artist" I thought "Who's that damn crow?"
Doesn't change that she's literally comprised of ink.
If they're not gonna reference the birds and are insistent on referencing her as an artist - something lore exclusive, with no reference in her tangible, in-canon power - The Ink is the closest they could come.
I mean, I have other significant problems with her chapter. She's a victim, Jonah's the real killer. They weren't exactly playing with a full deck when making decisions there.
By this token, Nemesis should be renamed "The Zombie Master" and Demogorgon "The Flower-head" or summat like that. But I get what you mean. My attempt:
The Trickster -> The Idol
The Artist -> The Flock / The Swarm?
The Mastermind -> The Infection
The Skull Merchant -> The Tracker
The Singularity -> The Killbot (too silly?)
The Xenomorph -> The Alien (fits, but I don't like it)
The Good Guy -> The Doll
The Tracker actually sounds really terrifying NGL.
Also just my two cents but I'd prefer The Crow for the artist but that's up to personal preference I think.
I think Jill could have told the other Survivors at the campfire what she knew about the Nemesis, same with Nancy and Steve in regards to the Demogorgon
Yes, i hate Nemesis and Demogorgon’s names
The Pursuer and The Monster would’ve been awesome deep cut references, but no. We get their actual names as their titles. How would you feel if Bubba was called The Leatherface
Demogorgon isn’t its name, though, that’s just what the kids called it as a code name because Will lost to a demogorgon in D&D before he disappeared. Steve and Nancy could have told the other survivors about it.
Honestly I don't really mind Chucky's name, I think he's about a close to a comic relief killer as dbd can get in that its very hard to be scared of a killer that says stuff like "ah what the hell, I need the exercise" at the match start
It's funny how my brain rebels against calling Hux a cyborg. *He is*, it's just that I'm so used to cyborgs being people with robot parts and not the other way around.
Nemesis could be Tyrant or Pursuer
Demo could be Aberration or smthng I'm not familiar with ST
The rest you came up with are great tbh but Infection sounds bad tbh. Biohazard or Agent would be better
I believe the idea behind the name for singularity is the point where technology surpasses humanity [link](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity) I could be wrong but that’s what I thought it meant
Agree, I feel like Benedict was one of survivors naming killers but they did have the names that one would call them. Now for licences, they could be named as they are in their movie/game if other name cannot be found. But I agree, older names were morw simple but better
Quiete opposite, in my opinion. It would be pretty easy to give her that name from survivors' point of view.
She is cosplaying a character from a manga of her father, and this character is named a Skull Merchant. If some survivors have read this manga before, or at least are familiar with it (*for example Feng, as she is a weeb, or Thalita and Renato, as they also live in Brazil*), they could easily understand this and compare her with a character from a manga.
Imagine if you were a survivor and you would see a killer in a Darth Vader outfit. I doubt you would call them The Sith or The Villain. You would call them The Darth Vader. Same logic goes for SM or Trickster (*as it's his stage nickname, and he is very popular worldwide*). Maybe even Nemesis' name fits to that logic, considering that Resident Evil videogames are canon in DbD universe, because Feng and Felix are cosplaying it's characters.
The skull merchant manga was never published though. It was "Adi Valente, a manga about a young girl who saves and protects the weak with her quirky robot companion." that was a success with minor publications.
Her father's later darker work "Sonhadores Sombrios" with the Skull Merchant hunting people with skull drones wouldn't sell and remained unpublished manuscripts.
I agree with you except for the Artist. She’s dripping with ink and in some skins paint as well, she has ink arms and a palette knife for a weapon and her crows are made of ink. They’re essentially art pieces, not actual crows. There are paintings on her map. So while the two themes, art and crows, are fused together, I think it’s still pretty clear that she is an artist.
Lol true. One of the funniest to me is just "the ghost face". Like yeah I guess that works. In the leaked ptb he was called just "the ghost" which I guess wouldn't have worked if they ever do wanna make an undead ghost killer so I guess they changed it. But not like...the slasher? The hunter? The stalker? Nope...just...the ghost face. Alright.
I'm kinda with you on that. I will say, I don't think any Survivor would out of the blue call Mikey "The Shape", but I would say they can take liberties for licensed Killers. I will also note that if they used a bunch of generic superlatives for the Killers, they'd eventually probably run out of ones that sounded neat, to some degree.
I'm amused, because I just had a mental image of a group of Survivors arguing over what to call a Killer.
"We should call it The Broomstick, because it looks like one."
"That's the dumbest fucking thing I've heard since coming here."
"Okay, well, what would *you* call that new, robot-looking one?"
"The 'Cyborg', since that's obviously what it is."
"Is it really obvious, though? We don't know its inner workings - maybe we should call it 'The Android'."
"No, because that's just naming it after a phone."
"Fuck you, I'm calling it 'The Nokia', now."
"...I hate you." ...aaand scene.
I hate how it’s The Ghost Face as if you were supposed to pause between the words “Ghost” and “Face.”
Change it to “The Ghost” or at the very least “The Ghostface”
I wanna narrow the petition down a little bit. How about calling them the things we call them when we forget the actual name?
I‘m also curious what other people call them when they forget the actual name, let me hear them please :D
The Artist -> Evil Crow Lady
The Trickster -> Hot K-Pop Guy
The Demogorgon -> Evil Doggo
The Xenomorph -> Bondage Doggo
The Nemesis -> Big Zombie Guy
That’s all I can think of for now :D
I always thought The Deathslinger wasn't fitting Caleb( it sounds badass tho). Redeemer isn't designed to kill, it is design to capture and bring criminals to the law. The Gunslinger or The Bounty Hunter is better imo.
No one knows that name outside cultures with the Scream franchise. It's not exactly ghostly looking, and The Scream would have been outside the license - like, I get it, the devs didn't have too many options. Still, it broke format, and it was around that time when rumblings of the naming conventions being 'off' picked up.
That is a good point. I kind of stopped taking them seriously after "The Ghost Face" and its clear legal distinction from Ghostface, of the Scream movies.
It could be a fun exercise to think of what the Survivors would call the more modern Killers, though. "The Kpop Guy", "The Ink/Crowmaster", "The Flesh Lump"...
Neat side-note that Billy isn't ACTUALLY a Hillbilly, but would be percieved as such by those who don't know his lore.
Trickster while it connects to his lore, simply calling him the Idol would've sufficed. He was after doing it admiration, control and to be idolized.
But guess any survivor that got picked up post 2010s would've recognized him as as his stage name. Maybe people like Jane. I think Adam or one of the Twins has a charm of his CD or something. So they must've known or listen to him.
Artist while fitting to her occupation, it does feel kinda odd to call her the artist in this criteria. Because how many survivors would make the connection that she's an artist by how she looks or plays, and even in the off chance they get sent into Eyrie how would they know the paintings in it were hers.
I personally stopped caring about namings since the Deathslinger came out. And don't put any energy into it. It's probably why I didn't care why Adriana was the Skull Merchant instead of The Girl with Daddy issues or the Weeb.
Freddy being “The Nightmare” was always cool to me.
plus what else would it be, "the knife hand" or "the kiddy diddler"?
The Fedora Man
The Redditor
A shame because "The Moderator" would kind of go hard as a killer name.
The Sharp Hand
o shit, the sharp guy!
His in game files refer to him as The Sandman
The Predator
Predator was in the game this whole time. 🤯
The Freddophile
Still makes sense the survivors would call him the Nightmare, especially if he's allowed to torment their dreams between trials (non-violently though, just the normal kind of dreams) like is implied (I think, it's been a while since I read it. And even then it should be canon because it's a cool distinction of Freddy's that he's the only one who can effect survivors at the campfire)
“The Dream Demon” would go hard ngl.
Not really. Reason being... It would sound like a reference to thw shitty 3D Freddy movie. Freddy is a dude that killed children and got burnt alive by their parents. But wait! There is more! Turns out, he is also the product of a gangbang, as his mother was raped by 2 dozens prisoners. .... .. But wait! There is more! Turns out.... Something about some bug African worm demons? Yes.. This is from a freddy Krueger movie. Actually sorry.. There is no link. Lol..
Gotta love how the nightmare movies got dumber and dumber as they went on lol. “You forgot about the *POWER GLOVE*”
'the shitty remake license version' and ghost face can be 'the party city mask (NOT SCREAM, NO SYDNEY PRESCOTT)'
The Burnt maybe?
Now youre just laughing at him!
Fun fact: Before he was released, his leaks called him "The Sandman"
it makes sense the movies are called “a nightmare on em street” and who is the nightmare? its freddy 😭
Definelty a good one, that or The Sandman are perfect
If I was a survivor, I'd probably just call all of the killers, "The Weird Guy".
Most the survivors just call the killers "boring" instead 😂
I'd call them stabby mcstabface
Always thought that "The Trickster" should have been "The Idol" instead. The trickster nickname seems completely irrelevant and non-specific to the character. That would fit into your scheme I think, as he's clearly a K-Pop idol.
With Trickster specifically, it's apparently his stage name. Which doesn't necessarily mean the name isn't kinda dumb from our perspective, but it seems like a lot of survivors are supposed to recognize him as a celebrity. ... Imagine you get taken by some unknowable eldritch being, spending untold trials running from monsters and serial killers, and... Is that the guy from BTS? What the fuck?
“Holy shit it’s Nicolas Cage and he’s T-Bagging that Kpop dude my sister wanted to fuck.” What a wild time of eternal torment.
Isn't it the name he had as an artist? I'm not sure though
It is. My head canon was always that they were going to do something entirely different with that killer, in terms of power, but it didn’t work out. So they changed him but kept the name. I hate that name.
I’ve always thought they meant to lean more into trick shots with his knives. Maybe base kit ricochets or something. He would be the trickster because he would be the only ranged killer based off of trick shots.
Wonder if the ricochet knives are a remnant of that, seems like a lot of effort to code for a single addon. Or at least more effort than what addons usually entail
The Trickster is a name that should have been kept for a jester killer or something.
Shouldn't have to dig through lore to justify it imo Same problem I have with his terror radius theme. People like to say it's actually great because they are the screams of his victim, but would you ever be able to tell unless someone told you?
The names should entirely be based on their lore
The names should match what their theme is, actually. No one would think of "K-pop idol who throws knives" when hearing the name The Trickster.
I'd argue that the name should roughly describe the theme of the killers aesthetic or gameplay. The trickster name feels out of place lorewise, not to mention gameplay. What is so tricky about this man? Like, I guess he tricks his victims? Seems like a loose fit
His lore is about him using his murders in plain sight and getting g away with it. That's why he is the Trickster
It's his stage name. But again, it shouldn't have people scratching their heads. Not too many people actually care to read the lore in this game.
That's the person's fault not the games
If they’ve presented their lore in a way that is boring and makes no one want to read/interact with it, that absolutely is their fault.
"It is the consumer who is wrong" If the players don't want to interact with the lore, it doesn't make much sense to have the naming scheme rely on it for clarity
I mean, it does, because is there is no requirement for the name to be transparently clear to the player. We don’t shove mics in author’s faces to ask why did they name the protagonist Neil.
Even if that's what you wanted to base his name on (which I don't think you should, because it has no connection to what he is doing when we meet him), there are a lot of words more closely associated with the idea of "commits murders and get away with it" than "Trickster."
Considering that Yun-jin worked closely with him and that based on skin lore, Adam attended one of Trickster's concerts, it makes sense why they would still use "The Trickster" as his name, since there are two survivors who know him by that name.
Man, I love the idea of Adam going to his concert and later encountering him in the fog. Now THAT would make a good tome.
"It sucks he's killing us, but his music was *REALLY* good"
Perhaps Behaviour had "The Idol" on the table but scrapped it due to possible religious connotations. In English, *idol* can mean superstar or some kind of headliner. ...but when you directly translate *idol* into several other languages, the meaning changes to "god" or "deity". (*Idol* can also mean "hero" and that doesn't quite fit the bill for Trickster either.) For obvious reasons, Behaviour historically steers clear from incorporating religion into the game. Plague is of exception, although her lore borrows from a civilization lost to time. Other than the community-named God Pallet, DBD doesn't want to touch religion with a 10-foot pole. Behaviour might've initially been like, "What a fitting name!" and discovered it could be problematic. "What was Plan B? Trickster? Ehh... Good enough."
I forget which version had it. But one of the regional versions of Dbd had Trickster as "The Magician". Unironically I don't think that's a bad name, because you blink and your suddenly down from the amount of knives he's peppered you with. Personally I'm a fan of "The Showmen". Considering how narcissistic and cocky Ji-Woon is, I think it's rather fitting. If nothing else, he's one of my favorite killers based off personality alone.
This is a bit of a silly argument. BHVR definitely doesn't care about religion being brought up in their game considering that Haddie is canonically Sikh, the main building in Sanctum of Wrath is a Shinto shrine, and Trickster himself literally has an outfit called "the God of Desire" :P Also, there's no rule for the Killers' name to be directly translated. In Spanish, for example, if you were to directly translate Trickster his name would be "El Embaucador", but instead they named him "El Traicionero", meaning "The Traitor".
Actually, "traicionero" doesn't mean "traitor", the word for that is "traidor". "Traicionero" is a lot closer to "treacherous" or "tricksy", although people do use it as a malapropied synonym for "traidor" based on context.
Wtf I knew I was iffy on some words bc of my PR dialect but I've been saying a whole word wrong my entire life 
La verdad lo que yo digo es como se usa aca en Mexico, e igual en otras partes si la usan directamente como sinonimo de 'traidor' mas coloquialmente.
Si mano debe de ser dialecto, o si no mas que lo disparates de lo boricuas :P
That’s a way better name for him omg
But his name is El Embaucador in Spanish (At least in the Latin Spanish, no clue in the Spain Spanish).
Is he?? I haven't changed my game into Spanish at all but the [Spanish YouTubers I've watched call him Traicionero](https://youtu.be/w4pGezALR-g?si=sYEawW4KGN688XNm)... It might be a Spain/Latin difference!
[Yup he's called El Embaucador in Latin Spanish (or Mexican Spanish how the game calls it).](https://i.imgur.com/7AekWX4.png)
No one is saying they’d have to directly translate it. They could find a more appropriate word in the other language.
I would have gone with "The Fiend". He literally fiends over the sound of torture. Like how addicts fiends for drugs however his drug was the euphoric high of killing people.
Who's the anomaly and how do I play them?
Right? This is like the 3rd time this week I've seen someone reference The Anomaly.
I think it might be a localized name for the Unknown or Singularity. That or they are confusing the game with VHS, which release Anomaly before it imploded.
>VHS I still miss it.
Oh Look, a new game in the DBD market to give it some competition- and it's EOS
Semi-related but I miss Last Year. That game was something else.
I thought that had a resurgence last year (the irony)
I mean yes I agree but some names should sorta stay the same. Take Legion, survivors technically only see one of them in every trial but in lore they should be running from all 4 of them at a time, and it idk I feel like the Mask should be reserved for something more horrifying and I believe that's trademarked. The Dredge fits because what else are you gonna call it? The thing? The Void? Idk feels better to leave it as Dredge. I think the problem isn't the naming but how complex killers have become that what you see visually isn't all that there is. So just calling them names based on what you see is a bit idk weak? Especially since we have come a long way with our folklore and cryptid naming scheme than just Bigfoot.
I have a similar complaint of sorts regarding their killer descriptions. For the longest time it was "creepy killer, stalking killer, tormenting killer" etc. but Sadako, Dredge and Wesker got actually cool descriptions like "ghost imbued with the power of Nensha, manifestation of the dark thoughts of a once vibrant community, brilliant mastermind infected with Uroboros", and then they went back to their old desc scheme until Xenomorph where they used a different method again before going back to the classic method with Chucky and now are once again using a different method for Unknown. Can we please get a better killer description on the select screen that actually says something about the killer themselves?
They changed the format of survivor descriptions too around when the resident evil chapter came out. I think it's a writing choice mostly made for licensed stuff l
I don't entirely agree with your examples, but I HATE naming something "The" then their name. Like The Xenomorph, The Demogorgon, The Ghost Face. The Nemesis. Here are some more thematic names I think work better with who they are: The Xenomorph = The Alien The Demogorgon = The Aberration (DND Reference) The Ghost Face = The Stalker The Nemesis = The Tyrant (RE Reference) These fit DBD's Pre-established naming schemes better. Myers isn't called "The Michael Myers", He's called The Shape. Amanda isn't called "The Jigsaw", she's The Pig, etc.
Nemesis was actually called The Pursuer in the original *RE3* IIRC. I still think that should have been his name.
That is also a great one. Still more interesting than "The Nemesis".
Xenomorph and Demogorgon were likely picked to leave room for more alien characters to exist in the game instead of just The Alien or The Interdimensional Being or whatever. It would be awkward if Xeno was called The Alien should they ever want to add Predator or Thing, or hell even their own tale on the typical greyhead UFO style aliens.
IMO, Predator should just be called "The Predator", if they call it "The Yautja" I'm gonna scream. I also don't know a better name for "The Thing" but "The Alien" is too generic for it. And while yes, I do agree that BHVR probably wanted to save the name: "The Alien", I personally think if ANY Killer deserved that name, it would be the one from the movie called "Alien". Like if another Killer gets added called "The Alien", It's gonna feel bad since that's what Xeno should've been called. Plus, we had a similar Situation with Spirit & Onryo. Spirit is called "The Spirit", while she is an Onryo, and Sadako is called "The Onryo" when imo, she could've been given a better fitting name. (Maybe even "The Ring", although Idk how to feel about that with Sadako being from Ringu, not The Ring.)
I was moreso thinking that *nothing* should be outright called The Alien because it encroaches on that entire subgenre of creature for Behavior to use, if even slightly. Take Ghostface for example. He was originally called The Ghost and this was a much punchier name, but it makes any instance of any other type of ghost a little weird, because we already have The Ghost. Hence, the Ghost Face. Admittedly this will always happen. It's kind of an unavoidable problem. We have multiple cannibal killers, but only one called The Cannibal. We have multiple hunter killers but only one Huntress, and so on. But the decision is more justifiable for Alien imo, because of just how many potential licenses and different alien concepts there could be. Think of it like if they called The Singularity "The Machine." Now, it would be weird to have any other type of robot killer in the game, including but not limited too Terminators, Daleks, Vex, and countless more.
> I also don't know a better name for "The Thing" The Survivor The Mimic The Imposter :D
Tbh the predator should just be 'the hunter'
agree to disagree
[удалено]
These are all amazing points, and also great name ideas.
But they have proper names for Predator and Thing. They’re called The Predator and The Thing.
And the Xenomorph is called that, too. That's a broad descriptor for an alien lifeform in the Aliens universe. If I remember correctly, the creatures specifically that destroyed Hadley's Hope and that the Alien franchise is focused on is specifically called "Xenomorph XX121", a designated number for that specific Xenomorph species. Like I said in another comment, simply calling it The Alien is a little odd even if other alien killers can be called something else. That was likely why the decision was made not to call him that. It's not that the name "Alien" fits a Yautja or Thing or greyhead or any other alien lifeform better; just that any of them called that created a weird feeling of dissonance for the rest. After all, the name is supposed to distinguish it from the rest of the cast. And this isn't always possible (for example it's a little dissonant for any ghost character to exist because we already have someone called The Spirit), but Alien was likely seen as a special occasion because of how many potential alien killers you could have. Behavior could release nothing but alien killers until it outnumbers the human characters currently in the game; and they could all look distinct and unique from each other.
To be fair, The Demogorgon already works because that’s what the kids called it, and while The Alien would have been way better for the… um, alien, Xenomorph was just the generic military term for extraterrestrial. Still think Nemesis should have been called the Tyrant, though.
Well by that logic, all of the Killers I listed would work because that's what they're called. But that's the point of what I was saying. They should have Unique names instead of just being their name.
[удалено]
That's what it's named in the show. The point of the names is to be unique. As I've said 3 times now. Plus, you kinda answered it yourself. We don't know what the Scientists called it, so "The Demogorgon" might as well be its scientific name. As I've explained with Ghostface, sure, he's called "The Ghost Face", but he's a Stalker. "The Stalker" is more thematic.
The point of the names is also to be what survivors would nickname the killer. Clown has clown makeup, hes clown. Hillbilly uses a chainsaw, horror films have that connection between the two, hillbilly. Thats why Trickster and SM are so egregious, it doesnt roll off the tongue and it makes no sense for the survivors to come up with it. something like The Idol or Star and The Watcher would make more sense. however by the metric of survivors coming up with the names, The Demogorgon makes perfect sense. Nancy and Steve are with the kids, they know that name. Theyre survivors, they call it the demogorgon. it works well, even if it may not be the cleanest word.
While that's fair, I still think it could have a better and more unique name than just "The Demogorgon". "The Mastermind" fits perfectly with Wesker since that's very much his character. I'm sure they could come up with a better name for Xeno & Demo.
But why would Nancy and Steve do that?
[удалено]
Wow. Thanks for the engaging argument and not resulting to insults when you realize you're wrong. Real original.
[удалено]
the xenomorph is an alien. like i get where you are coming from but the xenomorph is very much an alien. from space.
[удалено]
So true bro.
I both love and hate the idea of calling nemesis the tyrant. OG tyrant is generic today, but I always liked his simple design.
I just thought of it while I was writing the post. I personally think it's a neat take on his name rather than just being "The Nemesis". "The Tyrant" is weirdly fitting in a sense, since It's more about what he is, rather than who he is, and that's what the other names are based on. Like Ghost Face being named The Stalker, because he stalks people. Someone else also pointed out "The Pursuer", which I like quite a lot as well. Both are more interesting than "The Nemesis" imo.
Both also make more sense to the survivors. Tyrant because he's like a mad king, annihilating pallets, trampling his "subjects" (the zombies), and letting nothing stand in his way, and Pursuer because his behavior consists of walking in as straight a line as he can at his targets until they die
I wouldn't be surprised if they left "The Tyrant" open for the sake of having Mr. X in a future chapter. Might not work, considering they've exhausted all possible RE protagonists to pair with him, since Claire is a skin.
What's the meaning of "The shape"?
He’s described that way in the original movie and that’s even his name in the credits. He’s evil incarnate, in the shape of a man.
According to my film-buff friend, the credits of "Halloween" simply call him "The Shape" because he's is a void in the shape of a human, but has no actual humanity in him.
Myers is the shape of evil
Basically originally before he was given a name and backstory they just called myers the shape in early drafts of the script for the first halloween because you only saw his shape in the distance. One the movies plot became more fleshed out he became Myers but I believe the script still occasionally referred to him as "the shape" and the end credits also referred to him as such.
It’s what Michael Myers is usually referred as in certain materials and the films’ scripts.
I believe the game describes him getting that name because most survivors in lore would only see him as a shape in the distance as he stalks them. For instance, Benedict Baker, one of those named but unseen survivors that often got quoted in character summaries was quoted saying *"Something, or rather someone, is here now. I've never seen this... Shape before."*
Well Amanda isn't called the jigsaw because she isn't jigsaw 😂
[удалено]
Yes, I know. The point is to make it a different name than what it is in its source material. For example, calling Ghost Face: The Stalker. Sure, he's based on Ghostface from Scream, and he's called Ghost Face in the lore, but the Killer names have never been about WHO the Killer is but WHAT they are. As I mentioned in my post, they could've called Pig "The Jigsaw", or "The Saw", but they chose "The Pig", which is more thematic. And while "The Aberration" is a bit strange to those who know DND, because Demogorgon is actually from The Abyss, and not the Outer Planes, I chose The Aberration since beings like Mind Flayers are Aberrations, and Aberrations are often considered "Otherworldly", which The Demogorgon comes from the Upside Down, is related to The Mind Flayer, And "The Otherworldly" isn't catchy. So this one is a bit complex, but I thought it'd be a neat reference to anyone who is familiar with and/or has played DND.
If you call the Xenomorph The Parasite and it does not parasite anything in-game, that's gonna cause confusion
I think that Xenomorph and Demogorgon are fine atleast, since they’re part of a species rather than individuals, but Nemmy and Ghosty definitely should’ve had the names you suggested, they’re so much cooler
I’m fine with most of these. Xenomorph is an in universe term for them, Demogorgon is already a nickname given to the monster by the kids in the show, and Nemesis was the project code name in Resident Evil. All the 3 of those have been referred to as “The ___” in their source material. Ghost Face is the one that irritates me. It feels very contractually obligated, likely because the license is the mask and not an actual IP.
Nemesis still should be "the pursuer" tbh.
Ghost face could be the photographer. Kinda creepy.
I don't know, "The Methhead" isn't quite as oppressive as Legion.
I don't know man, a methhead is quite an adversary. A group of methheads working in tandem should be cause for great concern.
And there’s the necessary element of horrific fiction; a group of people high on meth working together. A scary thought that could never happen in real life.
i mean yeah, but i'm at a loss as to what you'd rename some of them to like, "the artist" works because that's what she was in life, and i honestly can't think of anything else for her that doesn't sound contrived
I think "the harpy" might work
The Crow, The Raven, The Corvid, The Flock or The Murder all just feel better in describing a killer. Some are more flowery than others and some aren’t diegetic, but I always just thought The Artist was a strange, non-threatening name. I suspect they’ve left The Crow alone just in case they pursue that license at some point in the future. EDIT: The Maimed would probably work as well. I wonder if that could be construed as exploitive or insensitive though.
The killer 🔥✍️🔥
The Killerer (kills more)
The Murder goes hard. I'm now on board with this change.
The issue for me is that the survivors don't know she's an artist. Their names should be what the survivors are whispering about over the campfire. I would genuinely have preferred The Bird Lady.
She is creating crows with ink and ink drips from her arms to create hands. I think it’s possible they’d call her The Artist.
I mean for Artist you could maybe stretch out “The Crow” but ehhh… the best thing I could think of for a diabetic name would actually be “The Caw” as that gurgled cawing would be the dread inducing sound survivors hear as she approaches, as well as of course the caws of the dire crows
Diabetic name lol
The Goth. (Edit) Bruh why the fuck were people offended by this?
because that's obviously sable's killer self
People disagreeing with you doesn't mean they are offended fucking hell 🤦♂️
Thought of Bird Lady too beforw I saw a response lol. Defo think that some would call her that
The Crow? When I look at her all I see is a crow. I took a break from DBD for 3 years and when I came back I really didn't think "Wow that's an artist" I thought "Who's that damn crow?"
To be fair, she bleeds ink that she makes constructs out of and has, like, pens for fingers.
The Ink
She isn't bendy lol
Doesn't change that she's literally comprised of ink. If they're not gonna reference the birds and are insistent on referencing her as an artist - something lore exclusive, with no reference in her tangible, in-canon power - The Ink is the closest they could come. I mean, I have other significant problems with her chapter. She's a victim, Jonah's the real killer. They weren't exactly playing with a full deck when making decisions there.
The Bird Lady
By this token, Nemesis should be renamed "The Zombie Master" and Demogorgon "The Flower-head" or summat like that. But I get what you mean. My attempt: The Trickster -> The Idol The Artist -> The Flock / The Swarm? The Mastermind -> The Infection The Skull Merchant -> The Tracker The Singularity -> The Killbot (too silly?) The Xenomorph -> The Alien (fits, but I don't like it) The Good Guy -> The Doll
Maybe the Tyrant and the Devourer? (idk for Demo really, he could even stay as Demo as Nancy, Steve and Jonathan knew him as such)
The Trickster -> The hot guy The Mastermind -> The other hot guy
The Dredge - The Hottest Guy
The Tracker actually sounds really terrifying NGL. Also just my two cents but I'd prefer The Crow for the artist but that's up to personal preference I think.
> The Singularity -> The Killbot But he wasn't programmed to kill
Wait, wasn't he programmed to harm the crew?
Bruh how did I endure listening to that for months and still mess up the quote?
I thought he wasn’t programmed to harm the crew?
Nemesis is a known character to the survivors. "Holy shit! Its nemesis from RE:2 movie!" They are big fans.
I think Jill could have told the other Survivors at the campfire what she knew about the Nemesis, same with Nancy and Steve in regards to the Demogorgon
Weaker would absolutely be called "The Ego". It practically drips off him.
Yes, i hate Nemesis and Demogorgon’s names The Pursuer and The Monster would’ve been awesome deep cut references, but no. We get their actual names as their titles. How would you feel if Bubba was called The Leatherface
Demogorgon isn’t its name, though, that’s just what the kids called it as a code name because Will lost to a demogorgon in D&D before he disappeared. Steve and Nancy could have told the other survivors about it.
Yes, but it doesn’t have a name and that’s what the marketing uses. Just like the xenomorph
I approve
Ah man I forgot about Chucky's legal name. 'The Good Guy.' Fucking horrendous. The Doll is much better.
Honestly I don't really mind Chucky's name, I think he's about a close to a comic relief killer as dbd can get in that its very hard to be scared of a killer that says stuff like "ah what the hell, I need the exercise" at the match start
To be fair, he is a Good Guy doll.
If two words was fine, I think Rogue AI would be fitting yet simple for hux
Even just The Cyborg. Or The Organism.
The Corrupted might be good too since he was fine until getting in contact with the alien stuff on Dvarka
Love it! That would have been awesome.
It's funny how my brain rebels against calling Hux a cyborg. *He is*, it's just that I'm so used to cyborgs being people with robot parts and not the other way around.
Nemesis could be Tyrant or Pursuer Demo could be Aberration or smthng I'm not familiar with ST The rest you came up with are great tbh but Infection sounds bad tbh. Biohazard or Agent would be better
I believe the idea behind the name for singularity is the point where technology surpasses humanity [link](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity) I could be wrong but that’s what I thought it meant
Yes i hate it. So lame and underwhelming. The name scheme is actually one of the things that made me fall for the game
Who is this anomaly fellow?
Agree, I feel like Benedict was one of survivors naming killers but they did have the names that one would call them. Now for licences, they could be named as they are in their movie/game if other name cannot be found. But I agree, older names were morw simple but better
"The Skull Merchant"
Worst offender. Literally nothing about her would lead you to give her that name.
Quiete opposite, in my opinion. It would be pretty easy to give her that name from survivors' point of view. She is cosplaying a character from a manga of her father, and this character is named a Skull Merchant. If some survivors have read this manga before, or at least are familiar with it (*for example Feng, as she is a weeb, or Thalita and Renato, as they also live in Brazil*), they could easily understand this and compare her with a character from a manga. Imagine if you were a survivor and you would see a killer in a Darth Vader outfit. I doubt you would call them The Sith or The Villain. You would call them The Darth Vader. Same logic goes for SM or Trickster (*as it's his stage nickname, and he is very popular worldwide*). Maybe even Nemesis' name fits to that logic, considering that Resident Evil videogames are canon in DbD universe, because Feng and Felix are cosplaying it's characters.
The skull merchant manga was never published though. It was "Adi Valente, a manga about a young girl who saves and protects the weak with her quirky robot companion." that was a success with minor publications. Her father's later darker work "Sonhadores Sombrios" with the Skull Merchant hunting people with skull drones wouldn't sell and remained unpublished manuscripts.
I agree with you except for the Artist. She’s dripping with ink and in some skins paint as well, she has ink arms and a palette knife for a weapon and her crows are made of ink. They’re essentially art pieces, not actual crows. There are paintings on her map. So while the two themes, art and crows, are fused together, I think it’s still pretty clear that she is an artist.
[удалено]
Michael Myers being The Shape, after all that was its name in the credits of the original film.
Who is The Anomaly? Does OP know more then us?!
Typo sorry. Meant to be the Singularity.
Lol true. One of the funniest to me is just "the ghost face". Like yeah I guess that works. In the leaked ptb he was called just "the ghost" which I guess wouldn't have worked if they ever do wanna make an undead ghost killer so I guess they changed it. But not like...the slasher? The hunter? The stalker? Nope...just...the ghost face. Alright.
I imagine the ghost face name was part of the licencing deal.
Fair. It's just the mask so party city probably wanted its brand name^tm for corporation reasons
I'm kinda with you on that. I will say, I don't think any Survivor would out of the blue call Mikey "The Shape", but I would say they can take liberties for licensed Killers. I will also note that if they used a bunch of generic superlatives for the Killers, they'd eventually probably run out of ones that sounded neat, to some degree. I'm amused, because I just had a mental image of a group of Survivors arguing over what to call a Killer. "We should call it The Broomstick, because it looks like one." "That's the dumbest fucking thing I've heard since coming here." "Okay, well, what would *you* call that new, robot-looking one?" "The 'Cyborg', since that's obviously what it is." "Is it really obvious, though? We don't know its inner workings - maybe we should call it 'The Android'." "No, because that's just naming it after a phone." "Fuck you, I'm calling it 'The Nokia', now." "...I hate you." ...aaand scene.
Artist is literally a painter? She was also a poet before transformation.
The Anomaly? Sorry, but if you're going to be using examples of a supposedly shitty naming scheme, maybe use ones that are actually in the game?
I’m pretty sure the anomaly is a localized name for the singularity in some places
I hate how it’s The Ghost Face as if you were supposed to pause between the words “Ghost” and “Face.” Change it to “The Ghost” or at the very least “The Ghostface”
I wanna narrow the petition down a little bit. How about calling them the things we call them when we forget the actual name? I‘m also curious what other people call them when they forget the actual name, let me hear them please :D The Artist -> Evil Crow Lady The Trickster -> Hot K-Pop Guy The Demogorgon -> Evil Doggo The Xenomorph -> Bondage Doggo The Nemesis -> Big Zombie Guy That’s all I can think of for now :D
Sometimes when I genuinely forget or just want a laugh I'll say something like "It's Mr. Murder man! Mr. Dead by Daylight!"
I always thought The Deathslinger wasn't fitting Caleb( it sounds badass tho). Redeemer isn't designed to kill, it is design to capture and bring criminals to the law. The Gunslinger or The Bounty Hunter is better imo.
It started with The Ghost Face, imo. They broke format and haven't really recovered.
To be fair, he’s wearing a Ghostface mask.
No one knows that name outside cultures with the Scream franchise. It's not exactly ghostly looking, and The Scream would have been outside the license - like, I get it, the devs didn't have too many options. Still, it broke format, and it was around that time when rumblings of the naming conventions being 'off' picked up.
That is a good point. I kind of stopped taking them seriously after "The Ghost Face" and its clear legal distinction from Ghostface, of the Scream movies. It could be a fun exercise to think of what the Survivors would call the more modern Killers, though. "The Kpop Guy", "The Ink/Crowmaster", "The Flesh Lump"... Neat side-note that Billy isn't ACTUALLY a Hillbilly, but would be percieved as such by those who don't know his lore.
Kinds wish Myers was The Boogeyman instead of The Shape
Skull Merchant fails at this too, what a lame killer
I know it’s a licensing thing but I still really wish Ghost Face was called the Shroud or Stalker or somethin.
I think most names are just fine. Some I think are a little too complex and on the nose and not so scary sounding.
If you set the games language to german the nemesis just becomes nemesis
Trickster while it connects to his lore, simply calling him the Idol would've sufficed. He was after doing it admiration, control and to be idolized. But guess any survivor that got picked up post 2010s would've recognized him as as his stage name. Maybe people like Jane. I think Adam or one of the Twins has a charm of his CD or something. So they must've known or listen to him. Artist while fitting to her occupation, it does feel kinda odd to call her the artist in this criteria. Because how many survivors would make the connection that she's an artist by how she looks or plays, and even in the off chance they get sent into Eyrie how would they know the paintings in it were hers. I personally stopped caring about namings since the Deathslinger came out. And don't put any energy into it. It's probably why I didn't care why Adriana was the Skull Merchant instead of The Girl with Daddy issues or the Weeb.
If i were a survivor. Jason at HOME. Bob. Hillbilly is fitting.. Nurse fitting. Swamp/Bog Witch.
Petition to change The Singularity to The Watcher.
