That Mindflood, a sedative booster, is taken by pouring liquid from a vial onto a cloth, placing it over one's mouth, and inhaling the fumes? (The Burning Life p 38)
Curiosity speaking here, but honestly what the fuck does his last name matter? Until Laerise brought it up I never even thought of googling to see what nazi may have shared a last name with a fictional character.

Until Laerise brought it up I never even thought of googling to see what nazi may have shared a last name with a fictional character.To those who recognize the name it may matter in terms of first impressions, obviously. Reinhard Heydrich was hardly just any Nazi, either. It's almost the equivalent of naming one's character Himmler. So it's definitely an encumbered name.Once the characters build solid reputations of their own, this will matter less and less, I expect. After all, there is somebody called "Mangala" running for CSM. Still, I think it's fair to point out that some character names can and probably will color some first impressions and come across as tasteless to some people. Whether or not to heed such objections is entirely up to the players, of course.
Lastly, the name Heidrich was randomly chosen from a list of names from the surname website hosted by behindthename.com with no prior knowledge of who the real Heydrich was or what he did back when Nazi Germany existed. I also have absolutely zero intent of trashing a 6 million SP industrial toon for the sake of pleasing anybody who thinks the name is inflammatory or offensive in any way. If you are offended, please note that this is not the 1940's, my name is not Reinhard, and I invite you to get past it. Jokes referencing my last name don't bother me and my reputation will speak for itself as it develops within this community.

Mangala is a gentleman, and I will have no bad words spoken of him (seriously, he's a great guy. Hilarious on comms and an excellent FC)

Totally different level, but a similar issue, so I know how you feel there.
Thing is, Amarr already are treated like they are child molesting space catholic racists. With a name like that you're inviting it, really. First impressions matter and you will probably get frustrated by a lot of things when interaction with those that oppose the Empire, but if you don't have a problem with them - potentially - taking that cheap shot at you again and again, then everything is cool.

I like the implications of Gallentians being punched in the face by walking up to a Minmatar as they so freely use another person's culture as a fad.
