A mature yet entertaining (and dark ) anime about people called "Contractors" that have to perform obsessive compulsive "payment" in order to use their super powers. It's set in an alternate universe where there are 2 places called "hells gate" and "heavens gate" which are supposedly the source of where the contractors come from and hold supernatural qualities. "Contractors" are people, hidden from the general public and considered highly dangerous to the government and "not human"(not displaying much human emotion and relying on logical thought) . While a small number of these contractors work for the government, most form underground society's or groups that work (or dispute) against each other. Also working with these contractors are Emotionless locators called "Dolls" that use certain elements as mediums to locate people or contractors.

The main character, Hei, is a contractor known as the Black Reaper. Although meddling in more trouble than most contractors could handle, is considered the most dangerous while only using his contracted powers for self defense and against mobsters and actual criminals. Though we do not know very much about the mysterious Hei, we do know that his sister, Bai, disappeared along with heavens gate several years ago. More episodes to come for this Epic anime...

Darkrai

The Pitch-Black Pokemon. True to its name, it puts people and Pokemon into endless nightmares and is the color of night (I mean, look at the sky sometime when the streetlights are all on in the distance...a dark, brown-grey-black color.)
It is also f&%$ing annoying sometimes, but that's ok.

Darkrai is so awesome, I can't figure out what to tag its entry with.

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.

DM: The sad little orphan girl tugs at Steve's trenchcoat to get his attention, and ask for help saving her pet dog from...
Steve: I'd like to roll a strength check against strangling the orphan.
Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

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."
