Concept and creation

A leaked early version of the Troll Call referred to Diemen by the codename Hotdog. This codename refers to his wiener dog lusus; his general hot dog motif derived from this codename at James Roach's insistence.

Diemen was first revealed during the Hiveswap Troll Call event alongside Skylla Koriga on December 6, 2017. His bullet points were "All About That Oblong Meat Product", "oblong meat product contents: uncertain", and "current oblong meat product temperature: 65 degrees fahrenheit". His bullet points were altered as from December 6, 2018 to "Meat enthusiast", "Living the nomadic shrubbery lifestyle" and "Cheerfully nihilist".

Etymology

Diemen is the name of a town in the province of North Holland, Netherlands, which comes from the river Diem (itself originating from di eme, meaning "the water"). Alternatively, it may come from the German die men ("the men"), or its agricultural definition of "a layered pile of hay, peat, or straw in the open field". Xicali may originate from Mexicali, the capital city of Baja California. Additionally, Xicali in chinese means "scrubbing force", possibly alluding to a birth assignment typical of a rustblood.

Diemen's leaked placeholder name, "Hotdog", comes from his original design having a wiener dog lusus, according to James Roach. It fits his current love of hot dogs as well.

Biography

Diemen appears in Hiveswap Act 2 in the rust blood car.
