Oi. I'm pretty new here, 'cept I introduced myself on Cerberus chat 's a friend of Eviticus. I thought, "It'd be no good to rattle my bone-box on Mithra Pride board even though I'm on jolly good terms with MP on Cerberus 'cause I'm a Hume..."
Skag that, though. You all seem like pleasent enough cutters.
Ah, but SE (the leatherheads) opened up a nasty can o' worms with the marrying thing don't you think? I've got my own ideas, though. Here's the dark on love, you know? Love is selfish and unselfish at the same time. Don't know what I'm talking about? Think about it like this: a berk is selfish when it comes to love because it's a highly personal emotion. They ain't going to want anything in the world to come between them and that feeling. But a cutter loves a person? Respect comes with love - if a person really loves a person, then they understand that they don't own 'em. You can't own people, no matter how much you wanna - but if you do wanna, that ain't love either.
If love was possession, people'd have price tags on their foreheads, but they don't. ('less you're a slaver, but I doubt you wanna piece o' that.)
'Course you don't see half-breeds though. Galka don't breed, so it's moot fer them. Taru, Elvan, and Humes arn't the same race. Magic and science tell us that it's the same race if they can interbreed, but different if they can't. (Special exception for mules and the like - similar but different races may interbreed and create sterile offspring.) Ye might marry a different race, but don't be expectin' children 'cause it don't work.
A' course, marry who ya want.
(By the way, SE mucked some things up for me, personally, since a female friend of mine's playing a male Elvaan, and I'm playing a male Hume. This means that even though we considered having characters getting married, SE put the kibosh on it before we even started. And forget about me marrying one of the mules - they'd never reach requisite level. Ick, overall.)
