Vigil's Dysphoria

Well, I spent pretty much all of yesterday learning to centre-align the header of the blog (Seriously, why is that so hard??) so I'm gonna try to do a bit more work today. Right now I'm going to run over the name "Vidys" and its meaning, and later today I'll write a looooong post about a small mechanic and a character to accompany it.


So, Vidys.
It's basically a word that I found Jack had written down but couldn't remember what it meant. I looked it up but it doesn't seem to be anything. I thought it was a nice looking word though - sort of elegant and cryptic. I reverse-developed it to have meaning: Vigil's Dysphoria - Vigil being a period of wakefulness and Dysphoria being... well, the opposite of euphoria.
So long story short, Vidys is meant to represent the suffering Don feels through his constant not-quite-awake-not-quite-asleep state.
