What do you suppose the proper word (demonym) would be to describe a person from Malifaux?

Malifauxan - (Minnesotan, Tucsonan, Bavarian)

Malifauxian - (Bostonian, Hamiltonian, Edmontonian)

Malifauxnian - (Torontonian, Panamanian)

Malifician - (Phoenician,

Malifite - (Tokyoite, Austinite)

Malifer - (Londoner, New Yorker)

Malifo - (Los Angeleno)

Malifene - (Nazarene, Slovene)

Malifard - (Spaniard)

Malifese - (Congolese, Nepalese, Japanese)

Malifauxi - (Bengali, Qatari)

Maligian - (Glaswgian, Norwegian)

Any other suggestions? Has this shown up somewhere in the fluff that I've missed?

I think they fall into one of two classification:

1. "Tyrant"

Subcategories include:

1a. "Frustrated While Remaining Patient Tyrant"

2a. "Really Frustrated Because You Blew Your Wad and Didn't Manifest Tyrant"

2. "Fu***d"

Subcategories include:

2a. "Indigenous Fu***d"

2b. "Immigrant Fu***d")

On a more guild-friendly (read: appeasing those gunslinging buttheads) note, I'd probably go with Malifauxan because it rolls off the tongue best, IMO.

But someone might be able to cite a source and beg to differ, which is why it's definitely still open. Even so, I do like Iron Heel's second option - or rather I would, if the Guild didn't care about making the masses feel safer than they clearly aren't. :P

This is a good question to add to the speculatory bit in the potential Malifluff wiki, if that ever gets made.

Ooooooh... Malifluff. I like that. :)

I like Breachsider, but that is really anyone on the non-Earth side of the breach, not specific to the city Malifaux itself. Sort of how people from Illinois are not Chicagoans.

Guild Conscripts is a good collective for the conscripts, but it doesn't really apply to people who are their of their own accord.

Malifolk is fun.
