'''Delphiki''' is an [[Ice Climbers]] player from Rancho Cordova, CA who helped give rise to the crew [[Nova Complex]]. He uses the monikers '''BEAN''' and '''DELF''' in play, with all three names stemming from the character of Julian Delphiki (not to be confused with [[J_DELPHIKI]]) in the parallel series of ''Ender's Shadow'' novels by Orson Scott Card. He is the younger brother of [[DRGN]], with whom he sometimes teams as ''[[Dragon Army]]'', being a combination of a reference to the ''Ender'' novels and DRGN's name (he has also teamed with [[ender]] under ''Ender's Game''-related names).
