Knowing I’d seen two members of the leading three figures of the Protectorate, I looked for the third.  I glanced past Myrddin, from Chicago, with his brown burlap robe and wooden staff, Chevalier, in gleaming silver and gold armor, carrying his cannonblade, and Bastion, who had earned a great deal of bad press, lately.

Myrddin certainly dresses like his namesake. I’m very interested to see what he can do with that staff of his.

Chevalier is predictably knightly, and carries… a cannonblade? Sounds like a weapon out of RWBY, and RWBY weapons are awesome.

The name Bastion just makes me think of Overwatch, though of course that wasn’t out when this was written. A bastion is a kind of platform for artillery, so maybe Bastion should’ve been the one with a cannon.

Someone used a cell phone to catch Bastion using the word ‘spic’ several times as he yelled at a kid who only wanted to take his picture.

I’m not familiar with that word, but it sounds derogatory. And it’s not like the action of yelling at that kid wouldn’t create enough bad press to begin with.

Let’s see… (time to cross off “looks up a word” on your bingos, folks, if anyone’s still doing those)

Urban Dictionary says that it’s a highly offensive racial slur referring to people of Latino descent. I see.

He was studiously ignoring Kaiser, who was standing nearby, staring at him, taunting him without speaking or doing anything.

History?
