Ok so like. I’m thinking about the Scrybes and what they all represent gameplay-wise. What their games all focus on and how that reflects on them as a character.
Like. Leshy’s game. We know Leshy’s game as we’re introduced to it first. His game is all about lore and story, engagement. Leshy’s focus is on building a rich world for the player to wander through towards the end goal. The mechanics are a bit clunky and breakable, but it hardly matters because Leshy’s game is fun!
Meanwhile I believe Grimora is meant to represent strategy. We see far less of her game in finale, but what we do see tells us quite a bit! Grimora’s board is a chess board, and she speaks frequently both in act 2 and finale about how card battles against her are/were battles of wits. Grimora’s game is all about taking care and thinking two steps ahead.
While P03’s game is all about mechanics. It’s about balancing and stats and fitting everything together to make something that functions well- what else do you expect of a machine after all. P03, similar to Leshy, ensures that the player is engaged, but where story and lore fails presents you with new mechanics to play with and just flat-out allows you to make over-powered cards, then throws challenging battles at you in return.
And Magnificus? Setting/art direction. He’s an artist, after all. A painter whose work is never done. But the way his battle is set up is very ambitiously done. 3D models instead of simple card art, a specialized disk you hold your cards on instead of in hand like the other games, the pillars and the bell that differs from the others so much…. By the time we get to see a hint of Magnificus’ game, most of Inscryption has been deleted, but… What was left of the assets Magni did have give an interesting insight into what his game would have been had he had the chance.

Inscryption wordplay through names, and the mystery of P03's name
Tumblr media
In Inscryption, the scrybes names are usually just nameified words to describe their area of expertise/what they are.
Grimora, wordplay on "grim", her field being death/mourning, + the "ora" to make it sound name-like. Maybe possibly a reference to grimm as in grimms fairytales? She does have an older theme/aesthetic with a quill for her main item, writing down the lives and tales of the dead.
Magnificus, play on "magnificent". Also alluding to magi/magic, maybe even the word magnus, all relating to the same root "magus" which means great and evolved to be used as a root word for magical words/terms.
Leshy is a bit different, as his name is literally just that of a forest creature in Russian/Slavic mythology. A leshy/i is a forest spirit/deity that lives and hunts forests. Apparently they also like the gamble and play cards too lol. There is also the noun "lesh", which means wool/hair (coming from the an old proto-albanian word for "foliage"), with a "y" added to nameify it. (a stretch I know but its neat)
P03 is the only one I don't know what his name is a play on. So I have a few of theories.
-It could be word jumble that vaguely relates to 3 letter computer/ tech related terms. Programs and parts with names like DOS, RAM,etc, or tech companies names like IBM or AOL. Even fictional computers like HAL follow this 3 letter naming convention, but none of these words relate too similarly to his name. The only possible 3 letter word that is similar is PSU (power supply unit), which could be in relation to his game mechanic, but it seems like a stretch.
- I also found for cars certain mechanical errors have similar name schemes. A P0300 error code means a misfiring cylinder, a P0030 means an oxygen sensor is malfunctioning. Maybe his name is an error code? We know that the old data seems to have corrupted the scribes, and P03 in some ways seems the worst off of the scrybes. He has locked his first personality away , as g0lly seems to be his original state , with his theme music reverting back to normal when he is playing as her. Even his appearance seems unkempt, with talk sprites body being dirty and scratched, and his screen is always twitching. So maybe his name is a mechanical error? However, if it is a mechanical in-world error, it doesn't really seem to effect him. He seems to have taken over the auto fill deck feature in ACTII (or maybe he is watching. Either way, he is monitoring this function) He can move to other scrybes islands and temporarily get rid of other scrybes when he wants (like with Magnificus). So it seems even all the way back in the "default" game of Act II he has a control over the game mechanics more than other scrybes. But if he does have more control over the game I don't understand why he would keep a mechanical error code for his name. It may also be a computer error code (like a 404) but those usually don't have letters in them. So dead end
- It does also look kind of like the name Poe but spelled in L33T (which is used in his cards), but the name doesn't seem to relate to him at all. The only thing I can think of is Edger Allen Poe, known for his dark and elaborate poetry. Ironic considering P03 is more concerned with game mechanics than story, to the point of annoyance. Maybe its an ironic jab, as it does seem through the Uberbots and his rant at the end of Act III that hints maybe deep down he wants to enjoy the stories he writes, but he's just to focused on the great transcendence to care. Anyways, probably not Poe then.
-The only possible lead may be a PoE, a "Power over Ethernet". It's an electrical connection which carries both internet and electrical power to a device. It relate to his awareness of the internet, as well as call to his motivation to escape to the online world.
Idk if I'm missing an obvious detail or if I'm overthinking this, but TLDR, in the base game P03's name does not fit with the other Scrybes in that it doesn't seem to allude to anything about his theme/personality. If anyone has some other ideas about this I'd love to know.

Can you put more detail into the Reconnected Scrybe Polycule? The idea that all four of the Scrybes fall in love with the same person and bring them all back together. I’m fawning over this idea and I want to hear more of your ideas! You don’t have to if you don’t want to of course. It’s totally up to you. Have a good rest of your day/night.
Hello??? Hello???? Yes I for sure can, Bestie!!!!
Er. Maybe. It's been a while and special interests have changed but I am ALWAYS ready to ramble about a polycule and the Scrybes are no exception. More specific questions would help but for now I'll try and get down all I have atm.
Okay so for this polycule timeline I have Save State, Calling Card, Winter Weather, and Future's Forecast. I never got around to writing Grimora's interaction with this reader specifically, and maybe one day I will, as Grimora really deserves more X Readers, but anyway.
Leshy falls in love with you first, he loves the fastest, and he was the first to meet you. He loved you the moment you sat at his table. It's a quiet love, showed in games and puzzles and cards. Affection through time spent near you, affection returned through playing his love crafted game. He'd put his everything into making sure you are entertained and having fun. He does not eat, he does not sleep, he hardly leaves his home. What if you were to come again and he was not there? He couldn't imagine such a thing. But if you asked him to go on a walk, he would not mind leaving the game for a period. If you held his hand and led him through other lands, or asked about his forests, or ran faster than he thought you could, he'd run after you. He'd answer your questions. He'd lay in the sun and laugh with you and remember how nice it feels to love outside a game.
Magnificus is second. He finds your presence annoying, a nuisance, a pain and a bother. When you don't show he's anxious and snappy, he's harsh and cold and irritable. When you come to bother him his shoulders relax, and while he huffs and grumbles about wasting your time, he feels more at ease with you nearby. These are, of course, things he'd never admit to. He'll draw you, sketch you in the margins of his sketch book, paint you delicately on his canvas. He'll deny it all. His tender heart for you he'll hide behind grumbles and sighs of annoyance. Glares and huffs. But if you were to rest against him while he worked, he wouldn't mind.
It starts to get more Poly when Grimora gets involved, as she was the original glue of the polycule, and she's the on to move things forward. She talks to the others more often, has tea and plays games with them separate, and she can tell when they've fall in love with the player, though Magnificus denies so. Her curiosity gets the better of her and she's invited you over for tea to see what the big deal is and. Oh. Oh you. She finds herself laughing in your company, loosing track of time between games, wanting to keep you over and dress you up and pamper you so delicately. And unlike the two before her, Grimora will act on her feelings. She'll woo you and make her flirting obvious, and if you were to protest, state affections for Leshy or Magnificus, she'll profess her own affections for them as well. She'll show you the old photos and the gifts and rings or her past, and she'll love you along side whoever you may choose.
P03 is always the one I have a rough time writing for, because I think he needs a LOT of time and care. He needs patients and calm and quiet, and maybe he's a little hateful and harsh, and maybe he's even worse around the other scrybe, bu it's mostly fear. A fear he hates to admit too, but genuine fear only someone hurt so horribly by someone they loved feels. He'll let you get close, because at least your fun to play with, sometimes. And you follow the rules of the game, and maybe fix some things around the factory here and there. He'll let himself enjoy your company, and he'll try not to bad mouth your partner's too much, because you don't deserve that. He's not heartless, and he's not cold, or closed off, not after seeing you so much. So when he's finally willing to admit to himself how he feels about you, he'll tell you. And he'll trust you when you say the other's have changed. He'll take your hand and go to see them and trust you that it'll all be okay.
It really is getting P03 back into the polycule that's the hardest part. Grimora and Leshy still hold an almost silbing-like affection for one another, and Mags and Grimora never REALLY broke it off in the first place. It's you, then, who leads P03 back, gets him to trust in them by trusting in you. And while it'll never be the same as it once was, that may be a good thing. As now you're here; Their beloved player.

random magicks npcs thoughts / head canons i have floating in my head
i like the idea that James was friends with Lonely before james was evicted. Lonely's trial of being completely isolated was a result of this, and the isolation trial would also serve as a means of preventing Lonely from forming friendships with goobert and the future ruby mage. Magnificus isn't lying when he says he does this to "unlock the full potential of the mind," but he is still very much doing it because No Fun Allowed
Magnificus' enmity towards James was passed on to Amber when she was introduced to the game. I think students of Magnificus practice normal studies before facing their "finals," but Amber promptly vivisected before he could even gauge her personality due to his disgust and paranoia with the previous ruby mage
the students are drawn towards different types of art; Goobert paints to take after his master, James and Lonely enjoy dance, Amber is more of a writer/poet, since thinking about words was the most she could do without a body

probably delving into headcanon territory but i think Magnificus is much more pathetic than we thought xe was. like, unironically this man is fucking sad to think about sometimes
ive rewatched playthroughs of Inscryption far more often than i like to admit and whenever i specifically chose to go through parts where xe was present, it seems like xe was dealing with something that hints at why xe just never seemed to have any desire doing anything relating to the whole power struggle between the scrybes, besides maybe aiding Grimora and Leshy somewhat during Act 3 (but even xyr choice on the matter is debatable, and plus this is more directly against P03 and his whole thing of spreading the OLD_DATA, rather than just xyr benefit in general) like first off, and this is a very, very major fact of xyr abilities: this old mf has fucking amazing foresight, enough to predict when Luke was gonna die. even when i suspect that it may be limited to events closer to being fulfilled, like how xe literally only says this when Luke was about to get murked (like bro... bad timing), xe still has a clear advantage over the other scrybes by being to predict the future. seeing into time and knowing exactly how it will play out would undeniably put xyr into an advantage; xe could just predict how everything else will play out and plan as xe should, which would probably aid xem into dominating the game a few times at *least* (though we don’t know a lot of their past inside the disk before Luke found it). xe could’ve also just gotten the upper-hand during Act 3 with said powers, there must’ve been some kind of path that xe could’ve pursued that benefited xem, even slightly so, out of letting P03 ultimately win their power struggle. but why hasn’t xe used such a thing for this goal? there’s an undeniable aura that just exudes out of this guy, and that is that xe is completely helpless towards the fact. even when this is probably just my opinion, its clear that somehow, through some reason or another that isn’t mentioned, xyr efforts to do such a feat would likely amount to a path xe doesn’t desire; even during Act 2, xyr pupils are all seemingly trapped into different realms to become cards for xyr deck (something that shouldn’t even concern xem knowing xyr own doom), and not one of them seems to be working towards obtaining the OLD_DATA because of such a fact. from that, its kinda obvious there isn’t any work being put into it, besides maybe Mag doing all of it xemself (which i really doubt that’s the case). now, there could be a million reasons why xe just gave up on the pursuit: maybe xe is being pressured into doing nothing by one of the other scrybes (xe must at least be Grimora’s acquaintance from how xe chose her, of all of them, to be the receiver of xyr letter talking about P03′s impending takeover at the end of Act 2, so they likely were friends at some point), or maybe the fact that xe can glance into time unravelled the idea into xyr head that whichever effort xe puts in, it would likely never change xyr fate of dying in the disk. or, nearing the end of Act 2 and into Act 3, xe realized xe dug xemself into a corner through circumstances not known to us (like maybe xe realized whichever actions xe applied onto the other scrybes would still facilitate them in their own goals no matter what, with xyr letter with Grim abruptly ending, probably from xem realizing this). maybe xe just doesn’t have the confidence to take advantage of xyr own powers like that, besides maybe being an advisor, at times? or, Mag knew the circumstances that played out and, out of all of them, Grimora killing them all off and the game still being uploaded to the internet was the best of them. or, xe knew how terrible the OLD_DATA was, and saw even interacting with it could corrupt xem further. ion fucking know, man. i could list fucking... billions of reasons and literally any of them could be correct with how the game is so vague over them. im clueless at this point.
we honestly don’t know what happened behind the scenes at all, but even with the hints we got its clear Magnificus is bound against the idea of doing anything to change fate, and only is pushed into trying to change it, both at the end with xem begging Luke for aid, and whenever xe uses xyr foresight at all. honestly i shouldn’t have gone off with the idea that xe was completely helpless over it, xe isn’t all in that, probably, but man. xem being so fucking pathetic suits xem so well. plus with the headcanon that xe chooses to live in the comfort of ignorance by painting to xyrs hearts content. i love me a man that cant do shit and who chooses to be xyr own foil

Since the dmg fandom (i think) collectively decided Luke is to Po3 like Kaycee is to Leshy, clearly we need to either
A) Assign Carla + Lionel to the other two Scrybes. Or swap one of the two out for Theodore, idk
B) SOMEONE needs to make a post-canon fic where, somehow, a couple people (who are to Grimora and Magnificus in the same way as Luke = Po3 and Kaycee = Leshy) get the floppy disk, recover the contents, and blah blah blah
Explanation in tags bc i tend to ramble in tags
#dmg humans as scrybes!!! funky clothing and the like#personally i feel like if we had to choose for carla + lionel#carla = grimora due to carla creating someone who has killed at least 2 people#so like. associations to death and stuff. not to mention that both girlies are lacking in content and have some sort of association-#-with a lil critter (grimora/stinkbug and carla/spider bc she made sado. so)#and then lionel = magnificus bc like. lionel treated his employees + game characters like shit. mags treats his students like shit#being a little more. idk. wimpy? than the other 3? idk if wimpy’s the word i want but its not nonconfrontational. so#like. personality wise it makes the most sense. also idk they both wrote to someone theres tension with bc something Bad is gonna happen#lionel with his own fuckin death and mags with po3’s great transcendence#as for the ‘two people find the floppy disk’ approach#amanda/sxdo accidentally drops it somewhere without realizing it#pair of friends/siblings finds the floppy disk. later finds luke’s conputer at some garage sale type thing like how luke found the floppy-#-disk at a garage sale#or it got sold off to someone who then sold the computer off to the 2 idiots#they find deleted contents for the floppy disk and go :0 and proceed to fix it up#boom inscryption’s fixed#id write the fic however i already got 3 in progress multi-chapter fics so. yeah#scov.txt#rhehhrgrgrgrgrg yeah idk#inscryption#inscryption spoilers#the hex#the hex spoilers#does this make sense? idk
