View source for Beck/A Name Like That Doesn’t Come Cheap

They chose the name “Bexilion Grimsprocket the Third” to irritate people. No, there weren’t two others before them. No, it's not a family name. It's a concept, thank you. Every syllable is meant to trip someone up. They wear it like armor, like defiance. It says, “I don’t care what you think. tyvm. I’ve already redesigned your opinion and made it explode.”

But in the mortal world, they go by Beck Monroe, an androgynous tinkerer with a mop of oil-streaked hair and a wardrobe full of secondhand band tees and mechanic’s overalls. They fix toasters and VCRs and sometimes weird fae relics. They don’t make a lot of money, but they know how to trade. A repaired cassette deck might be worth a secret. A rebuilt chimera-trap might get them passage into someone’s Freehold.
