Perhaps. I now consider it to have been an "experiment." I've actually started to enjoy Marines more.

It was actually the only that fit, lol. Antethia is based on the Third Reich, but Veluna is based on the Second Reich. :P

For anyone who doesn't know (I only just figured this out last week), the "von" prefix on German names before the end of the Second Reich meant nobility.

I had thought the von was just normal or signifying where the person was from. I didn't think it literally meant "from family of"

It's actually both. However, like Reian said, usually only nobility and royalty or important people used it.

Just to add to the mystery: There is a specific reason I put the deaths in when I did (most of em). AD knows it, but probably forgot by now :P

And yes, choice #1 is gruesome.

It wasn't important, therefore I have erased it from my mind :P

Wait, so I'm rascist against Zeonese? Why?

Also, what Ethnicity is Alex Synair anyway? I'm guessing Umojan from how impulsive and Judgemental you made him, but I'm not sure.
Work in progress.

There's a list in either the Background or Roster topic. Umojans don't like a lot of people, but they're only blatantly racist against Rezelians and Duran.
