Her father speaks like an immigrant (in that English is his second language), but Penny sounds totally American.

Does his dialogue actually seem to be like an immigrant in-game? I can't check and found no examples in paragonwiki.

Wu Yin's a native of Hong Kong, which would have been under the British rule at that time. English would have been commonly spoken, but back in the 1960's the social stratification between the natives and those of tai-pans would have been more pronounced, so its possible...

Her father (in both Primal and Praetorian Earths) speaks pretty typical English, actually. No wrong word usage, no archaic/disused words, full sentences. He even says "'ey" in Penelope's Faultline arc. lol

So he's actually Canadian?

Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

I just had a funny mental image of the 3 of them gaining Incarnate Abilities and Penny and Jim using theirs to save Fussionette from going out of control.

I mean, she's crazy enough in a normal setting. Give her Pyronic Judgement? And Lore pets? Oh. My. Pancakes.

And of course there would be a Masters badge for keeping her either a) Alive for the whole trial or B) Not letting her aggro x amount of mobs.

Or how about "Yin Yang"!

I pulled the trigger. That's right, I did it, in Warburg, with the pistol. - Mista Chains

Everyone know the Tank Archetype get the most drops of all the types. This is because of their "Death Dealing" powers. I call it the front line bonus...but you'll never read this in the wiki - "Rx10"

Yeah, Praetoria stopped being Evil Mirror Earth back around the time Going Rogue launched. Now it's more of a Bad Choices Made Easy Earth. But the Rogue Isles gave us Bad Penny, who paradoxically almost never turns up. So having a Good Penny who does sort of works.

No, she tried "Thesaurus," and it was taken. And since there aren't any synonyms for that, it kinda became a dead end.

EDIT: "Synonym" and "Dead End" were also taken.

FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.

Yeah, I can never judge what ethinicty people are by their last names these days. If it sounds Asian or Hispanic (hope Im using those tems correctly), then if I have to categorize someone...I just say Asian or Hispanic.
I have a black neighbor, last name OReilly...whenever I ask if hes from Ireland, he always says to me, "Brooklyn, stand up"...so Im assuming not.

I think she should take one of the names originally proposed for Desdemona: "Parable." If that is not already taken or trademarked.
