Character Ages and Physical Descriptions

That's actually very interesting. It does bring up at least one question, however - what's the polite way to refer to an orphan or bastard (ie, someone whose parentage, and thus patronymic, is uknown)? Is there just a standard (blank)yavich that gets applied to the "fatherless"?

Honestly...I'm not sure I had any idea what the character's name was (proper or not) until Liz posted something about "slava" above...

Good question. I've looked into it a bit and haven't found anything, yet. I'll try and do some more focused searching in the future.

Nurse Brown is probably in her upper twenties.

Yep, the nurse (Emma Brown) is 25. Well 25 and a half if you really want to know .
And in case anyone was interested she is about 5'4" with Brown hair green eyes and a pretty bookish plain look.

(PS: Thanks to everyone for letting me play, I really had a great time and look forward to more.)

Welcome to the boards, Nico.

According to what I could find, it's fairly arbitrary. In cases where no one knows what the father's name is, it appears to be standard to simply assign one.

Very interesting. That kind of linguistics is very interesting, although I have to admit it's not *all that* important to the game.

Good stuff.

While we're doing this general exercise...are there any particular NPC's you all want descriptions for? Make a request and I'll put the description here.
