[livejournal.com profile] unborn_renegade was a reference to a couple of things. First, when I brought him in from canon, he was still a wee naive little speed freak from Sandover. He would later go on to be 'reborn' and become an angry freedom fighter - but he had not yet been reborn a renegade. So, unborn renegade.

It's also a reference to a spoiler from the third game I never got around to. As it turns out, Jak's the son of a renegade king, a man who went into the desert and founded his own city and never let the oppressors get him. Which means that he's not from Sandover's time at all - he's from the future. And hadn't been born yet. Unborn renegade. (Jak himself got stolen from his dad when his dad was still in charge of the entire continent, partly because of his eco-channeling abilities, and partly to demoralize his dad. I have no idea why anyone thought that would de-badass Damas (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03x-mlF1v5U&feature=related), though.)

[livejournal.com profile] notjustaworm was just a reference to the Earthworm Jim theme song.

Jim was just a dirt-eating, chewy link of worm flesh
But all that came to a crashing end (ha ha ha ha HA)


Um. Clearly he's not JUST a worm.

[livejournal.com profile] hasthegirlballs is another mangled canon quote, since any accurate versions of the name were already taken. It's something Doctor Kelso says about Denise: "I like her. She's got girl balls."

[livejournal.com profile] justhisblogger - Steven Moffat's Sherlock is chock full of references to how people think Watson and Sherlock are gay, so Watson spends a lot of time fending off accusations. At the same time, Sherlock warmly-for-his-standards says things about Watson like 'I'd be nothing without my blogger'.

A handful of NPC journals...

[livejournal.com profile] to_geniuses, Peter's parents' journal. It's a reference to a less than kind quote from the Big Bad of the first two Shadow books, Achilles: "Do we still have time to get this little sucker implanted in somebody? Petra's already pregnant. I hear, so you can't use her. I know! Peter's mother! She always likes to be so helpful, and she's used to giving birth to geniuses. Here, Peter, catch!"

Nice.

[livejournal.com profile] arcane_delphi is my account for Petra and Bean, and whatever other Jeesh kids I managed to shove in there. It's a play on their last names - Petra Arkanian, Bean Delphiki. And, y'know, the oracle of Delphi - the two of them tend to know what's going on and what's going to happen later a lot better than everyone else does.

[livejournal.com profile] jeeshboys is for Ender, and it's fairly simple. Basically, the nickname 'jeesh', meaning army in Arabic, became a popular one to use for Ender's merry band of warriors, and besides Petra, who already has her own account, they're all boys.
