Dragonian

Word used in the "Dragon Divine Chronicles" to describe humans born with the ability to transform into dragons.They are uniquely born with two souls,a human soul and a dragon soul which in turn allows them their unique abilities and characteristics! They have superhuman abilities and "evolve"to adapt in heavy situations.

Dragonians "mature"over time and can't use their dragon powers till they experience a event called "Awakening" ( this usually happens when they are under stress) after that they can use their once-dormant dragon powers and transform!

murderhobo

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

Whale

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.

"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
