[ooc] Canon references + head canon
So WAB-verse world’s history is anachronistic and kind of… special in general. Thus, this post is here for me to see if it is safe to talk about something and to not forget which famous people Sakurai has turned into robots/catgirls/Lovecraftian abominations already.
Thankfully, the translation group for this game was kind enough to compiled a database keywords and people that appeared in Sharnoth here already, so everything here will mostly be notes for me on how I should handle them and the people who appeared in other untranslated games that set in WAB-verse.
Historical and literary figures that appeared or are alluded in Sharnoth/Inganock:
History and literary figures that appeared in untranslated games that I have no information about (and will refrain from mentioning because I have no idea what Sakurai had done with them:
Jerusha Abbot has a nice hat. Which means that I am going to avoid Daddy-Long-Legs and everything by Jean Webster to be safe.
Edison is black
Ginger Rogers has mechanical limbs
Babe Ruth has a catgirl girlfriend
Lucky Luciano has nice arms
And according to spoilers, Hemingway, Joan of Arc, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Mona Lisa all also appear as well.
What I headcanoned on
Cesare Borgia.
I am too sleepy to be coherent so I shall come back to elaborate after a nap (tears)
