Greetings, fellow GM
I am aware that this Forum is host to some active users that share my native language (German/Deutsch), and this time, I try to milk those first and foremost. I will still Phrase my question in English, as there might be perhaps be an English answer to my question that I could reverse-engineer.
SPOILERS FOR DARK PURSUITS!
Dark Pursuits Features a gang of cloud boys called "the Baby Faces". Personally, I am not found of that gang name as such. I know what it links to, but I think it is not matching the mood I try to have in my games. And that gets even worse when I try to translate it for my Players (which I do as often as possible).
Our next sessions is this Weekend, and I am STUCK in regard to re-naming these fellows.
I toyed with "the Highborn"/"die Hochgebornen", but put that aside for being to blunt and to blant. Another idea was dubbing them "Hochgeburten" (a German mix of the words for "highborn" and "Freak/teritarismn")
Does anyone has any ideas how to rename them while keeping the link to them being "from the spire"? I want them to lean on this "we are scum, but suprior by birth, SUKKERS!!" attitude.
If I get any GERMAN Feedback, it would be marvelous. ENGLISH Feedback is, of course, welcome, too... it just leaves me with the task of translating it again.
Thanks in advance!
[Needed] GERMAN help for re-naming "Babyfaces"
Probier's mal mit "die Wolkenkratzer" oder "Tod von oben". Alternativ, falls es mehr auf Überlegenheit ankommt, wäre vielleicht "Blaues Blut" or "Wolkenthron". Als letztes fällt mir noch ein: "Die Stiefel", wenn sie gar zu sehr nach unten treten.
"Milchgesichter" doesn't sound too bad in keeping with the original name. Yes, judging by current social standards it carries a negative connotation (much like Baby Faces), but if you consider that it's a reference to how smooth and silky their faces are as a result of being of high birth and good genetical stock, it makes sense and could be a source of pride.
Babyfaces does NOT make me think highborn fancy lads, who happen to be in a gang. What a wierd choice of a name.
I rather like Milchgesichter though.
