Trying to get foreign naming right

Yeah, fair enough. Still feels a little like describing Byzantine princes being "born to the fuschia" instead of "born to the purple" to me (purple being a fairly close equivalent in western colour traditions to the lumping of blue and green shades together in many Asian ones), but it's cool. Go with a sea green over a grass green, though, or it really would be like draping Caesar in pink.  :)

 

Born to the Purple is a little Babylon 5.

I somehow skipped over B5 back in the day. For me, it's the real historical context. Also shows up in Crusader Kings II :)

 

I had a look at your Soryu in the Original Characters thread. Nice.

 

One last thing though - it is pronounced "Soh Ryoo" (both vowels are long). Might be worth spelling it in Latin characters as Soh-ryu so that people don't say "Sore-You".
