I came up with the suggestion of
Diplomat
to replace Prince.

Reasoning
  • Diplomat is gender-neutral.
  • Makes more sense flavor-wise (a diplomat has immunity, and it makes more sense if a 1-shot Diplomat is like "on their last chance" as opposed to a 1-shot Prince (disinherited? how does a Prince lose their elimproof status?)


I also know there's a case for using term-dependent names like Eliminationproof. My suggestion here is that could be used in a way analogous to Bulletproof – as an invention flavor or an optional mod flavor.
I actually quite like diplomat, especially with this logic
unfortunately my main "why" involves spoilers for a video game so I can't really dive into it here
