    I'm glad you found a name you like Cait, I think it sounds awesome. Kudos to you and Raag for your brainstorming, and I have to giggle cause now we got Ray making a lore friendly name too (he went miqote! O.O lol). YAY! our LS will be full of lore friendly names... Except for Tenrai, he's the exception XD

    I gotta get use to calling you by your new name haha
    (btw I missed you this weekend so I'll see you this week? ^_^b)

    oh and BUMP! so Ferne answers my /pray m(-_-)m

    I missed you online as well last weekend. I've been busy these past weekends. Unfortunately i've only been able to play for an hour of 2 each morning during the weekend. (T_T ) I should have more time this saturday though! Please look forward to it. (^_^ )-b

    I think a lot of people will need to get used to that name. Including myself. hehe. But, i really like it. Especially after writing that story.

    I've been fiddling with the character creator on saturday night, just before i went to sleep and i've created a look for C'zeith Tia (might require a little bit of tweaking, but you get the idea), did you see that one Gemma?

    ...that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

    Moor·ish (adj.)
    1. Of or relating to the Moors or their culture.
    2. Of, relating to, or being a style of Spanish architecture of the 8th to the 16th century, characterized by the horseshoe arch and ornate decoration.

    Wuthering Heights was set in the Yorkshire Moors, but as far as I can remember was written in very good English (it's been 20 years, so forgive me). I guess there might have been some Yorkshire dialect..?

    The Canterbury Tales on the other hand, I remember having to translate from Middle English into something I understood before I could make sense of them. I hated the chore of that, but then I didn't become a translator as my career, so I can see why a certain someone may want to pay homage to them!

    OMG YOU ARE READING MY MIND!!! I had actually thought about this when I was going to race swap man'quote xD But the more I played the more I started to like Highlander. I researched and found my name fit the name conventions for them as well and now I'm pretty sure I want to go Highlander... I've started working on my back story... but still concerned about 1.0 race... maybe I can use a previous aether sending putting him in an Elezen body, and once he had been sent through again, he switches back... hmmm NEED LORE! I don't want to just be making random things up lol though it could be plausible...

    Thanks I do like that idea as well in case i decide to stick with Elezen. Decisions Decisions...

    yeah wuthering heights had yorkshire in it i remember speaking to my english teacher because the whole class couldn't understand that character at all and she said it was moorish dialect (pertaining to the yorkshire moors or baroque i think it's calls as well but heavier) Also it was a lot harder to understand than say the Secret Garden's dialect for certain characters. I understand it now though after having to read Wuthering Heights.

    hmmm I'll have to try to read those cause my interest has been piqued.

    Your English teacher is as mad as a fish.

    Yorkshire dialect = north of England (Sean Bean as Boromir or Ned Stark). Found in Wuthering Heights/The Secret Garden.

    Moorish dialect = well... The Moors were medieval Muslims from North Africa who conquered much of southern Europe 1300 years ago. To say something is 'Moorish' means you are pertaining to their culture. They influenced the Basque (now a region of France and Spain) language heavily, so if there was a 'Moorish dialect' of anything it would be of Basque (does sound a bit like 'Baroque', admittedly ).

    Nothing Moorish in Wuthering Heights!

    I guess I was lucky in that I was familiar enough with Yorkshire that I didn't notice it in Wuthering Heights or The Secret Garden! lol


    I think I'm off-topic, sorry!
