Why so many McKnights?

[Zombie Hustler]

By my count, there are at least 4 McKnights in-game: Ashley; her father, Alistair; Ace; and Chance.

 

Is Ace related to Alistair and Ashley? Is Chance a Praetorian version of Ace, or maybe a Praetorian version of a Primal brother that isn't currently in-game?

 

Did one of the developers really just like the last name?

Sounds like a cheap version of a knight..Can't afford a real Knight to go campaigning with? Come on down to McMercenaries and get yourself a McKnight!

Could have just named them all Bruce.

 

(Full disclosure: I had a Martial Arts-Super Reflexes Scrapper on Live named Jack Bruce.  Someday, he will be back.)

Is your name not Bruce?  That'll cause some confusion.  Mind if we just call you Bruce to keep it clear?

"This is my daughter Ashley, and this her second cousin, Chance, and this my first cousin's wife's best friend's babysitters godson, Ace, who also happens to be a McKnight"

"Hi, I'm Larry, this is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl!"

Part of me wonders if Chance McKnight is actually the Praetorian version of Ace McKnight.

Given that he uses the same facial texture and has a similar occupation (undercover operative for Longbow/Ministry of Intelligence) and level range (15-19 in WWs arc vs. contact handing out missions in thd 8-15 range) I suspect that this is actually the intention.

 

And being named Chance instead of Ace is less strange than the Fusion/Jane Temblor double gender swap that happens in Praetoria.

 

The net result is you’re down to Ashley, her dad Alister and Ace as either her brother or cousin (they mention he’s got certain skills that might actually be very subtle magic) which is much more reasonable... no more tricky than States, Miss and Ms. Liberty anyway.

I was kind of wondering the same as both of you. Chance and Ace could also be sort of related terminology, as a reference to games (Ace of Cards, Chances of winning). Ace is much cockier and more of a jerk than Chance, but again, that could just be differences between the two Earths.

When a daddy McKnight and a mommy McKnight love each other very much.........

[SwitchFade]

The REAL question is...

 

Who the heck is 'AkashiKnight' and why the heck am I searching for his body in Faultline?!
