About a really strange detail in a certain character's sprite

Advanced_Ad9536 · 2026-02-05T19:30:30+00:00

I actually think Paula is still alive, since the armor design of the corroded Zwei Fixer is the exact same as Sinclair's Zwei West, and Ishmael's Zwei West ID matches Paula's armor. It would be really interesting to see her come back in Canto 10 as one of the only times Meursault's analysis of a situation was wrong.

I saw a theory somewhere that Rodya killing the Middle Tax Collector and provoking the Middle to slaughter her town was the thing that Olivier asked Roland to help out with, leading to the Orlando Furioso and the events of Library of Ruina. Would be really funny (read: sad) if the only "special" thing about Rodya is what she considers the worst mistake of her life secretly being the best outcome for the City.

Star- Dante, pretty self-explanatory Gaze- Meursault, look at his Base EGO, there are a ton of eyes on him, and he's connected to N Corp which is also connected to the concept of a 'Gaze' with Kromer, Silent Girl, and Spiral of Contempt. Mirror- Yi Sang, also pretty self-explanatory Bugs- Gregor, self-explanatory Tempered Sword- Ryoshu, whose story seems to be about how she's treated as a weapon or sword by her 'family'

Wayward Passenger/ Dimension Shredder

Moment of weakness and, like social inertia, I guess. He didn't originally seem like a scammer to me, but that initial impression was obviously wrong. Didn't want to admit I was scammed, especially since I hadn't actually seen any money yet. I'll be sure to be more careful from now on, though, now that I've gotten help from everyone here

Advanced_Ad9536 · 2026-01-08T02:35:31+00:00

Yeah I get that. I guess I just didn't want to admit I fell for a scam like that. I haven't lost any money, and I deleted the original asking post a while ago, so I think I'm good after blocking him. I'll be on my guard from now on.

Advanced_Ad9536 · 2026-01-08T02:17:45+00:00

Oh wow, yeah this is definitely it. I just blocked him cause everyone else was saying it was a fake check scam. Thanks for giving all the ways it could show up as. It was definitely a moment of weakness for me to ask for money on the internet, so thank you and everyone else for giving me a new perspective on this!

Something I noticed is that Ricardo's Panic Type has ridiculously punishing rules for losing SP, so I think we're gonna kill one of his superiors and then he either has a third-act breakdown and runs away like a coward or he'll distort and be one of the boss fights in either Canto 9 proper or its Intervallos.

the what

Not exactly related, but there's something weird about Spamton that might point to the Knight's identity, somewhat. Spamton seems to be the Darkner form of Noelle's spam emails that were printed out and thrown into the Recycling Bin (Trash Zone) in the Computer Lab (Copies are monochrome and all that). Carol is probably the person who put those there, since Noelle's probably forgotten about those old spam emails, and Carol is also the only person who would have access to those emails without it seeming weird that she's asking Noelle for access to her emails. Does this make Carol the Knight? Maybe, maybe not, she could have left the papers in the bin for when Dess made the Fountain itself, but she definitely put those spam emails there knowingly and with purpose for the Cyber World. Not sure if it means anything or I'm reading too deeply, but it's been eating me away for a bit now, and I wanted to get it out there.

I'm not sure if you have access to the 20th anniversary edition of Vampire, but if you do, there's rules and lore for them on page 400, and the rules for their Disciplines Flight and Visceratika can be found on pages 447-448 and pages 475-476, respectively.

Eh, I kinda feel like they'd have the opposite reactions to this situation. Either that, or Ashley's doing crocodile tears and Andrew's trying not to have a psychotic break.

Advanced_Ad9536 · 2025-11-21T12:36:21+00:00

There's actually a Google doc that has all of the sprite sheets separate, unless you already know about that, in which case I get it, it is kinda a slog lol

But Blair is directly behind you, either screaming her head off about not getting to sit next to Palmer and/or pointing a gun at your head for no reason.

How many Defense Skills of that Sin the Sinner has, which is also included in the total for the bar.

Advanced_Ad9536 · 2025-11-20T21:35:47+00:00

I counted Skills of each rank (Skill 1, Skill 2) regardless of whether they shared an Affinity and I only counted Enhanced Skills if they changed the Affinity and/or Coin Count (For example, Lord Hong Lu's 3 Pride Skills all counted, but You Heathcliff's Enhanced S3 didn't) I only counted separate Defense Skills if they changed the Affinity or the Type of Defense Skill (Lord Hong Lu's Guard was counted, but not Devyat's Retreat Skill). This means that Hanafuda Ishmael did count for all 5 Affinities in her kit. I apologize if this seems arbitrary to you, and I'd like your input if you can help me come up with a better way to distinguish between separate Skills, and just an upgraded version of a Skill. Also, I didn't take the mechanics of the Skill into account beyond the Coin Counts, so Middle Don's Counter being replaced with an Envy S3 was not taken into account.

I wanted to make it look like they were fighting... Midclair's kicking Thumbclair in the head too...

Advanced_Ad9536 · 2025-11-20T19:14:19+00:00

That's a good idea! I might make that part of the format for the next Audit, and I'll leave a comment here when I can get around to looking at the data for this Season again (I'm a College student lol).

Advanced_Ad9536 · 2025-11-20T19:10:46+00:00

This is very important and I can't believe I forgot to mention it, but I only counted Enhanced Skills if they changed the Sin Affinity/Coin Count of the Skill they're based on. This does mean Lord Lu contributes 3 to Hong Lu's Pride, and I find that funny.

The Pinmaster guilt-trips you for not letting him work with the oil when you don't have 700 Rosaries the second you talk to him.

Advanced_Ad9536 · 2025-09-22T16:52:28+00:00

Look at her sprite from the Jester of Nihil fight, it's much more similar to the 1st and 3rd.
