RPGIntroduction
Survival of the fittest. Natures supreme law. Only...what happens when the fittest don't always survive. On the planet Paxion, the sentient beings aren't the biggest or the baddest things out there. Creatures, referred to by the indigenous peoples as "Monsters" come in all shapes and sizes, but only one setting. Nasty. These things want nothing better than to kill, maim and destroy all that is not of nature. Which includes....You. As a sentient being, you are charged with the ultimate mission. Survive at all costs. How you go about that is a different story.
Hunters are the iron wall that protect you. Hunters undergo rigorous training from an early age to ensure they can handle the pressure of the job. Hunters can be big and bulky to lithe and skinny, because differant weapons and monsters require differant people to do a job. However, behind every successful hunter is a group of people. Blacksmiths, Alchemists, Herbalists, Bankers, Traders, and so on. The everyday people who support the hunters as much as the hunters support them. In their own way, they are also heroes.
Denizens of the Wild Lands speak two languages. Wyverian(English) and Saurian.
(Resource for Saurian language help. -http://saurian.krystalarchive.com/ Also, here are a few general tips for proper grammar.

Rules for the letter "H" which is an "X" in Saurian.
1. If X is the first letter of the word, it is pronounced as a "K's" [Kuh-Sss]
2.If X is after a consonant, it is a vowel. {E.G. Kxo which is "the" is pronounced "Kay-o". Kxaj which is "this" is pronounced "K-ee-ahzsh"
3. If X is between two vowels, it is an ordenary X.
When spoken people generally roll their R's[typing the words doesn't apply with this rule. This only works when you actually speak this to another person in real life])
List of weapons:
Giant sword: Large and powerful, this sword dwarfs other weapons. It is swung in large, sweeping arcs, aiming to both crush and cleave flesh. The blade is also so large, it can be used to block attacks.
Katana: A long, single bladed sword. This weapon comes in a sheath that can also be used as a weapon, if the user is skilled enough. This weapon is a good compromise of speed and power.
Sword and shield: A good, balanced weapon. This weapon is second only to dual swords in speed. The addition of a shield makes the possibilities of combat much more even and round.
Dual swords: Speed, refined and bottled. These weapons can set the air on fire, figuratively, with attacks. Advanced users have been noted to go into an "Unholy Rage" and turn into a whirlwind of death.
Hammer: Epitome of power. This weapon will decimate all opposition. Suprisingly nimble, the hammer's odd center of gravity enables the shaft to be used offensively. Hammer users have never complained of the weight, leading others to believe that somehow, the hammers are not heavy.
Horn: Mysterious weapons. Used much like a hammer, horns have to be swung a certain way to avoid damaging moving parts. Horn users are sought after in hunting parties because of the mysterious effect songs played on the horn have on people.
Spear and Shield: A defensive masterpiece. No one has a bigger shield than spear and shield users. These people have unrivaled defensive capabilities, and often are seen sidestepping a monster, only to impale it with their deadly sticker.
Gunlance and Shield: A breakthrough in technology, gunlances are frankenstein weapons. The unique construction allows them to "break" in half for easy carrying. The real power comes from "Shelling". Users of the gunlance have the option, when attacking, to pull a "trigger" which fires a large fireball out of the barrel of the lance. It's true power comes from the 'Wyvern's Fire' ability. When the user twists the handle while pulling the trigger, the gunlance will charge up all the flame in the lance and unleash it in one massive blast. The lance must cool down after that, though the user can still use the shelling ability. The cooldown time varies between lances. A long sturdy blade is mounted to the underside, enabling standard spear tactics. Defensive equal to spear and shield.
Bow: Bow tech is still kind of new. Large bows, sometimes bigger than the hunters that use them, are fitted with hinges like the gunlance to carry easier. Hunters use "coatings", which are bottles that fit into a dispenser on the bow that apply certain properties to fired arrows. List of coatings is: Poison, Paralyze, and Sleep.
Light Bowgun: Newest weapon types, Bowguns are still relatively rare. The light bowgun has unique properties of being the most mobile and lightest, at the expense of some power. Bowguns come in many shapes and sizes, and have a few modifications that can be added to them. For light bowguns, A longer barrel will increase power, while a special silencer will make you harder to detect by monsters.
Medium Bowgun: A mix between the mobility of a light bowgun and the power of a heavy bowgun, the medium is a nice fallback. Certain parts can be swapped out between light and heavy bowguns to increase either power or mobility, but not both at once.
Heavy Bowgun: These monsters are a terror to be fighting against. Slow and unwieldy, the titanous Heavy Bowgun can punch large holes in some monsters, and make dents in the metallic hides of others. Heavy bowguns are differant from the others because they have a hinge, being as they are so large. Attachments for the Heavy bowgun are power barrel or shield.
Ammo: These "shells" only fit in bowguns, and not all types fit in all bowguns. List of ammunitions are: Normal, Pierce, Scatter, Crag, Clust, Flaming, Thunder, Paralyze, Sleep, and Poison.
Descriptions of Ammo:
Normal: A large bullet.
Pierce: Designed to penetrate and travel through, best when used on large monsters.
Scatter: A shell that will shatter in mid-flight and pepper the target with shrapnel. Only used when you do not care about skinning or carving materials from monsters
Crag: An interesting shell, it penetrates the monster and then explodes violently. Same as above.
Clust: Most powerful shot. Will strike the target, explode, and then throw four other bombs in the air, which will fall and explode. Great for creating carnage or distractions. Expensive, though.
Flaming: A shot that will ignite the target on impact.
Thunder: Experimental shot that electrocutes target on impact.
Paralyze: Bullet that splits in mid-air and lets loose a dart coated in neurotoxin. May take a few shots to work.
Sleep: Same as above, but with a tranquilizer drug. May take a few shots to work.
Poison: Same as above, but uses a deadly toxin. Will ruin all meat on the monster, making it unfit for consumption. You will know if a monster has been poisoned, because bits of its skin will be eaten by acid.
Armor can be crafted both from materials taken from monsters and from things found in the environment, such as ore from mining spots, fish from rivers, mushrooms from dead trees, bugs from thickets, or even herbs found in the field. The higher quality material, plus skill of the smith, enables creation of better armor and weapons. Some materials are much harder to come by, so don't waste them. Also, merchants are willing to buy any miscellaneous junk or things the hunter does not need. There are items that are useless for crafting that can fetch a hefty sum back in town. Something to keep in mind.
Jobs are fairly standard. Blacksmith, merchant, banker, alchemist, herbalist, trader, craftsman, lumberer, fisherman, stonemason, and of course hunter. Some jobs can be mixed together, like lumberer and craftsman.
Now then. The juicy part. Monsters. Monsters fall into differant classes.
Here is a great place to check on them. -http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/MHFU:_Monsters
Life in this world isn't all about fighting and killing though. There's plenty to be done, from shopping to selling to meeting people to making money. It is encouraged to make lots of friends and be friendly to everyone. You will never know when you might need their help.

OOC Notes
Ravi was bored. She sat behind the counter and looked up at the ceiling, it was just dull, boring dark wood, she couldn't guess or careless on what kind of wood. Her entire shop, was boring, it was alos a darkwood counter with an few tiny metal bits lying about, Ammo for Bowguns, more specific tranquilizers cable of inducing, sleep, paralysis, poisoning, anything really. With those were the more standard variety peircers, explosives, whatevers. She looked around at the bottles also, even more boring, little glass bottles with odd colored syrupy liquid. The only thing midly exciting within the shop itself was a small target on the wall and a Bowgun on a table next to it, only real use was for demonstration that her slugs could fly just as well as everyone else's. She looked down, barely realizing her hand was idly sketching a few doodles of monsters and herbs onto a blank peice of paper, which was her supposed sales record for the day. Ravina had just has enough, of the dull life, Raviwanted adventure, she wanted to have fun and live life for a while. She looked out of the sole window of the room, left open to try and ward from the mustiness and heat of the shop, and saw it was still only noon. The Craftswoman turned around and plucked a book off of the boring shelf behind her, The Survivalist's Guide to the Wildlands, a book she often read to try and pass the long hours of waiting, she opened it to the first page, and didn't even have to look at it to know what it said.
"Oh goody, I love these days" Ravi half heartedly mumbled to herself and then commenced reading the alreadly memerized volume of the "Survivalist".

A loud crash resounded through the quiet village. Skulblaka stumbled out of her small hut with a bottle in her hand. She teetered and spun about, trying to find her shop.
"Kxo jir aj kee rhawat! Tumd ratj nebo mo kee ouhcoo." She slammed into the door of her shop and tumbled backwards, the bottle flying out of her hand and shattering on the ground. "Un jaok! Moh reeqo." She sighs and pulled herself to her feet, opening the door of the shop and lighting the candles in the back. She flipped the "Open" sign over in the front, showing her preparedness to sell her goods to the general public. She slumped over on the counter, pushing some herbs out of the way. After a while, a burly Hunter strides up to her confidently and taps her on the head.
"Nauk kxo k'socc, ooei elohwhend ataek?" she growled at him. The hunter snarled and grabbed a fistful of Skulblaka's dreadlocks and pulled her over the counter. With a gasp of pain, she twisted herself onto the man's arm and breaks it. When they hit the ground, she jumped on his chest, pulled off his helm, and proceded to beat him in the face with it. After his skull fragments had embedded themselves into the metal of the helmet, she tossed it away casually and passed out, too drunk to do anything else.

Ravi eyes opened, confused from what had happened, she heard some shouting and a couple of loud crunching noises from nearby, and realized she must have dozed off. Ravi was joyous, finally something interesting, she quickly picked up her bowgun and loaded a slug into it, a bolted out of the door, only to her own disappointment of an empty street, but she noticed a broken bottle of booze infront of an a blacksmith's shop. She hastily stepped foreword and put her hand on the doorknob and bashed the door open with her shoulder, pointing her bowgun inside. Her first glance of the place caused her to stare in disbelief at the mauled and unconscious man and the drunk young woman passed out close to him.
"Nxuk kxo..?" was all that could that she could think to murmur. Then the bulletmaker moved and slumped down besides a wall.
"Idrocalurco! A ujb veh jemokxadw opsakadw udt A wok u tumd ruhvawxk!"
Ravi, sat there and started tapping her foot, waiting for the unconscious man, if he was alive to wake, or for the passed out girl to come back to the realm of the conscious.
"A xuko kxaj laccuwo."

Skulblaka coughed quietly, then again louder. It turned into a fit that sounded like she would cough up a lung.
"Jkifat meejo. Jkifat. Jkifat! JKIFAT!" she screamed at the corpse and jumped on it. Skul began to pound on it with her fists while screaming and swearing at it. Finally, she broke down in sobs. "Den...A xulo housxot hesb rekkem." She sighed and stood up wearily, turning to her shop. She rustled a bit, looking for something, and when she found it, she made a weak noise of victory. Without warning, she plunged the knife into her stomach repeatedly and collapsed onto the ground. Unfortunately, the alchemical potion she had cooked up for herself yesterday worked, and instead of dying like she had planned, she simply went to sleep and healed her wounds. Only she had discovered the secret to semi-immortality.
OOC Notes
Vulkan stomped into the village. His hunt had been successful, but unlike many of the young bloods his face bore no triumphant smile, only a fresh scar down one side of his face. The massive hammer was slung over his back, and he stalked into the village square, dropping his payload. It was a Barroth skull. It landed with a wet slap that got the attention of a few people.
"I got the bastard." he stated to whoever would listen "Took me two weeks to find him, but I got him. Now where's my payment?"
The Elder simply looked at him blankly. Shit, he must be in the wrong village. Yep, he was definitely in the wrong place he realised as a few of the townsfolk began to talk at him in Saurian. He really wished he'd paid attention when he was a youth, and they had tried to teach him. Still, he had always gotten around it in the past. With a disappointed grunt he lifted the head again and walked into the village tavern. Even if they didn't speak the language, they would be able to guess what he was after. Beer, and lots of it. Nothing helped beat back the bad mood of completing a hunt only to get lost like being absolutely hammered.
Sure enough, the barman did understand what he meant, and as he lifted the first glass he began his journey to drunken bliss...

((Good saurian, but we're outside my shop, not inside.))
A small cough burst forth out of Skul. The cough turned into a bigger one, which evolved into a fit that sounded like Skul would cough up a lung. Gasping for breath, she rolled over and vomited into the snow, coloring it red with her blood.
"A'm kee ooeidw veh kxaj jxak. Kee tumd ooeidw." She stood up and unlocked the door to her smithy, fumbling around in the darkness. A loud crash issued out from the hut, followed by some choice words.
"Nxoo kxo XOCC ted'k A coulo nadtenj efod ed kxaj fcuso." She rummaged around some more, trying to find a candle to light or something, when a loud bang made itself heard above the noise. Skulblaka's body was hurled through a window, splintering it into matchsticks, and she was deposited bodily into the snow. She accidentally triggered one of her more powerful large bowguns, which she had left loaded, and it blew a hole in her lower chest and threw her outside. Luckily, she had devised a potion that would speed up body healing processes to a rate that would let the user survive life threatening wounds. Unfortunately, she didn't perfect it, and while she wouldn't die, she would be left with a gaping hole in her side.

"Fcoujo kocc mo kxaj aj u zebo," She looked at the bizarre woman again, then crouched down next to her and dragged the woman inside her building, and put her up against the nearest wall and closed the door behind her.
"Kxaj aj u zebo!" then she wandered over to her store and shut the door, then locked it with the key she kept on a chain around her neck, and went off to the bar, hoping enough alcohol in her system would save her from the probable insanity around her.
-a couple of minutes later at the village tavern-
Ravina looked around and saw an empty seat next to a large, burly man obviously enjoying his liquor, and strolled over to the seat, took the seat with a sigh and a groan. The bullet maker then lifted a single finger at the barman, her order without a word, 'one shot of the usual', she then turned to the big man besides her and guessed by his gear that he was a hunter then mumbled to him, "Nx0 aj kxaj kend je rceet0 adjudo?", then the scraping of glass on wood showed the arrival of her drink, a small shot glass filled with a dark, amber liquid. She mumbled something to herself about relief in Saurian and gulped it down in one shot, and felt the booze sear it's way down her throat

Ravi stood there in shock, trying to comprehend what had just occurred.. she stared at the girl who had just been blown through her door had a wide wound in her chest...

Vulkan looked up as the woman sat next to him. She looked like she had just seen something she wished she hadn't. Which was entirely possible, given the circumstances. Despite the various mugs and glasses strewn across the counter in front of him, he was still far from drunk, though his appearance may be a little deceptive. When she then ordered a drink without speaking, in roughly the same manner as he had done, his hopes were raised slightly. Maybe someone else here spoke Wyverian?
Those hopes were dashed when she then mumbled something in Saurian to him. Gods damn it why did he have to get lost!? Using pretty much the only phrases he knew he answered "De Juihaud. Jfoub n0lohaud?" then, as if it would somehow help, he added "A um xidkoh." and lifted the skull off of the barstool next to him so she could see it. True, he may not share in the triumphant joy of the young ones, but he was still proud of his accomplishments.
He just hoped that someone in this damned village could speak Wyverian, or he was going to end up having to draw pictures every time he wanted to say something. Ordinarily he would just leave, but that bloody blizzard had cut off the mountain pass. He was, when it came down to it, stuck here for an indefinite amount of time.

BOOM! Skulblaka kicked the door of the bar open and then promptly fell over. She dragged herself to a stool, pulled her body up and ordered the biggest tankard of the strongest ale the Bartender had. The man glanced at her curiously, but shrugged and filled her order. Immediately, She took a big gulp to steel herself, then poured it into the gaping hole in her chest. As the river of amber liquid cascaded out of the exit wound, she craned her neck to see the damage. "Of...fucking....course. The one day I come to work drunk, I get a meat tunnel carved into my body," she growled. She examined her wound. The slug punched a good two inch hole in the lower left side of her ribcage, just missing her lung. Luckily, the potion she brewed for herself yesterday worked, or she would probably be dead. Skulblaka chugged the rest of the tankard and let out a breath through pressed lips. All of the sudden, she noticed that some girl and a hunter were staring at her. "What?" she asked them, as if she were a normal person, and not some psycho that doesn't die from gunshot wounds.
OOC Notes
Ravina's head spun around to look at the hunter and her jaw dropped like a rock. The skull was rather massive, and that meant it was a big monster, whihc meant he had killed it which meant there was an interesting tale behind it. It took her a moment of awkward staring and gawking, but she regained her compsoture and than smirked at the big man.
"Wyrvien? I speak a little of Wyrvien. What brings your over here, to this oh so exciting little village? I mean aside from that", she pointed at the rather impressive skull.
"Tell ya what, I'll translate for you, but you gotta do two things for me, One. Tell me how you got that skull, and Two. Help me around my shop... Deal?" She looked up and into the burly man's eyes and tried to look as innocent as possible and gave him a cute little grin.
"Pweease?" She added as a last attempt to solidify to contract, trying to get sympathy form acting cute and innocent. Either that or she wasn't drunk enough to know what she was doing, but she didn't really care.

Vulkan couldn't help but let out a relieved sigh as the girl replied to him, this time in Wyverian. "Oh, thank the heavens that someone here can speak it!" he said, clapping her lightly on the shoulder, "My reasons for being here are not exactly normal for a hunter. You see, there is a blizzard up in the mountains, and it would seem that I took the wrong path. Basically...I am lost. Not very hunterly of me, eh?" he laughed a little at his own misfortune.
"Tell ya what, I'll translate for you, but you gotta do two things for me, One. Tell me how you got that skull, and Two. Help me around my shop... Deal?" she replied.
Well, if he was going to be stuck here for a while, he would need her help. Besides, he didn't mind doing a little work, and the story would be easy enough to tell. For some reason she was trying to look all cute and innocent. If she thought that that would motivate him she was very wrong, either that or alcohol affected her very quickly. Either way, when you spend your life hunting creatures who would eat you as soon as look at you, you quickly lose any sympathy for cuteness, and innocence was just a distant memory.
"Deal." he answered. Well, he might as well get the story telling out of the way now. "Okay, so there is a village on the other side of those mountains which was being terrorized by this creature. They hired me to go and-" BOOM! He was interupted by the door flying open and a woman staggering in. Ordinarily this would not have held his attention for more than a second, but the fact that she had a small hole in her side was really rather strange. The woman ordered a drink, and proceeded to pour some of it into the hole. This was getting just plain weird.
"What!?" said the woman, looking right at him. It was only then he realised he had been staring.
"My apologies, but you appear to have been holed. It looks rather painful is all." he replied, before turning back to his drink and setting the skull back down on the stool.
"I guess the story will have to wait until later, when there aren't going to be any interruptions." he continued to the woman next to him "When do I start work?"

Glad that her life wasn't threatened, Skulblaka tossed a few lumps of ore on the counter from her satchel and asked the barkeep if anyone needed any business done. The bartender glanced at her oddly before picking up a list of contracts from behind the bar and set them in front of her. Skul skimmed most of them, tossing them back at the bartender haphazardly before settling on one she wanted.
"A'cc kube kxo edo nakx kxo jnumf." she stated. The bartender shrugged, stamped it, and then posted it on the quest board. Standard procedure stated that all other hunters had ten minutes to join on a quest before the party left. Swamp quests, like the one she picked, were not well liked. She only did it because she was running low on some reagents she needed for a few potions and the swamp was a gold mine for herbs and mushrooms. She quickly ran back to her hut and grabbed the Perforator, her custom bowgun, and a few types of shells, then ran back to the gathering hall.

Abra sighs and shrugs his shoulders as he enters the bar trying to get the weight of the previous quest he had done off of his shoulders. He takes a quick glance at the quest board then a quick double take, locking in on a certain quest that had just been posted moments before he walked in. It was a swamp quest and he enjoyed those, only for the fact that they were loaded with resources he could use for his alchemism. He looked around the bar and spotted Ravina. He runs up to her and grabs her by the arm, "Come on, quest, no time." and pulls her along with him to the gathering hall with minutes to spare.
OOC Notes
Is almost pulled onto her ass by her friend,and staggers along with him, in a sour mood. As she left the dark, gloomy bar, the smell of smoke and whiskey faded to be replaced with blinding sunlight and the smell of grass. She mumbled to her friend while being dragged about like a little dog.
"Not even a good morning? Huh? What's our quest now?" then she cursed at him in Saurian "0ei tumdot mehed." She felt her boots gathering the thin white dust from the ground.
"Would you at least stop dragging me about like a little puppy dog? and let me grab some more ammo at my shop, geez!" She yanked her arm from the archer's arms and hurried over to her shop, pulled the little Iron key from her neck, on the red silk lace, and unlocked the door. The Bullet crafter motioned with her arm for her partner and started finding spare ammo inside the shop.
"Come on! We're gonna miss the damn quest, I got a new potion for you!" She grabbed an ammo bandolier, neatly organized, it was her hunting pouch, it had her normal ammo, a few piercing rounds, exactly half a dozen sleep shots and 1 flaming shot, she reserved it for very special occasions, and because she loved her explosives. Her bandolier had little loops of worn out leather, where she kept her potions on, she reached over her counter and pulled out 3 potions, 2 of her special brew serums, basically made to keep someone awake aslong as possible and her new potion she had prepared a couple of batches of, a corrosive acid, specialized to melt through vegetation and pushed them into the loops and grabbed another one of the corrosive bottles, and tossed up in the air where it flipped and she caught it again, then extended her hand to Abra.
"Enjoy, it takes a while to make a batch so you better not waste it."

Vulkan sat stunned for several minutes. Suddenly all the people in the bar had left, including the woman he had been talking to. Where were they going? It was only then that he noticed what he presumed was a quest board, with a newly attached piece of parcment on it. That was it! They were off to do a quest! This would be the perfect opportunity for him to unwind. He might even get to kill something. Wait a second, standard protocol was to wait at the gathering hall for ten minutes, and he had been sat there for seven...
The bar door was slammed open as he sprinted out. He would retrieve the skull later, right now he had a quest to join. Once again he was confounded by his lack of Saurian. All the signs were written in the language, and he didn't know which way to go. Luckily, every village has a similar-looking gathering hall, he just had to find it. It was only after running around almost the whole village that he spotted it. Crashing through the door with baely five seconds to spare, he took a moment to catch his breath before unslinging his hammer for a couple of practice swings. It whistled through the air as he swung left, then right, and finally downards. He checked its motion just before it hit the floor, returning it to his back.
"Right, I'm ready.", he said to no-one in particular, "Where are we going?"

Abra nods and extends his hand, grabbing the corrosives. "What do these do anyway? Looks like some sort of acidic material." He inquires. He then continues on walking towards the gathering hall. "Our mission is a swamp mission, I didn't really read up on the details but the swampland is a good place for my alchemism to be further extended." he tells her as they arrive with a minute to spare. "Come on let's meet our employer." he says as he opens the door and looks up at the one who posted the mission, his jaw dropping at who he sees.
OOC Notes
Skulblaka noticed that the odd large man left his skull behind, she she helped herself when he left. She put it in her temporary items chest, took out a few antidotes and was about to sit when two people barged into the hall. She recognized the girl, but not the man. Skul waved to them and went to stand by the door that exits down the side of the mountain. When the large man came back, she waved to him too, but looked at him oddly when she noticed his hammer. "You think we'll be killin' anything dangerous there, hoss? Keep a leash on that." she chuckled.
OOC Notes
Ravi raised an eyebrow at the woman she had seen get blasted earlier that day, through the door of her shop, only then had she noticed quite how gorgeous the woman was and thought for a moment And she is still walking about as if nothing happened? Really? she then turned to the large man who had just walked in and his hammer, and swallowed, hard, big people were intimidating, and so were big hammers. Her hand clenched the Bowgun in her hand a little tighter, it was a custom model, she had built some of it, but it was made to shoot long-ange, she had worked for years learning to become a sharpshooter, with the brutal trade back of being rather weak in person to person combat, she left that to someone else, and this time around it would seem like the big man with his best hammer. She turned to look at the woman again, and mumbled.
" Nxod teoj kxo fuhk0 jkuhk? "

"You think we'll be killin' anything dangerous there, hoss? Keep a leash on that." chuckled the woman with the hole in her side.
"Well, I might, if I knew where we were going. I don't read Saurian. Either way, I need the excercise. A fat hunter is a dead hunter, as the saying goes." he replied. He was itching to get going, to be out of this village and doing something, even if it wasn't killing large monsters. Just to be way from the rest of civilisation for a while, where the only people around were those currently assembled. He took a quick glance at each of their armaments.
"Two bowguns and a bow", he muttered, "I guess I'll be doing all the manual labour.", then, loud enough for everyone to hear, "Well, by my reckoning those ten minutes for joiners are now up, so when do we get going?"

Re: [OOC] The Wild Lands
And that is where you are wrong. I counter-quote: "Wyrvien? I speak a little of Wyrvien. What brings your over here, to this oh so exciting little village? I mean aside from that". Anything not written in Saurian is Wyverian anyway, otherwise there's no point in using both languages.
Read what happens in your own RP. I NEVER god-mod. Accuse me of it again without good reason and I'm out. I ike this RP, and I don't want to leave, but I don't want to have the GM tell people to ignore stuff I post without good reason.

And I quote "Vulkan couldn't help but let out a relieved sigh as the girl replied to him, this time in Wyverian." No one talked to you in Wyverian, so obviously you just stuck that in there. Please read before posting.
