[Smowz]

I am kinda relieved my name is not Philippos... my secret is safe for now

UGH! UGHH!!! OH THATS DISGUSTING!!! TERRIBLE!! AWFUL!!! UGH!!!

....it is, isn't it? I mean, it's not entirely ambiguous what you're driving at there, is it?

Don't worry, we all have our little secrets...

Yea, I checked my name out beforehand, and it's actually Greek for Jacob, which will play a little on in my character in the near future. I must say though, what the heck does "Kallipoleos" mean? It seems related to Cyprus...it must be me, but my character seems full of odd coincidences...

Reminds me of Gallipoli. Combined with the ek it could mean Gallipolian.

what's funny is that I wrote Makedonios as being "tall" without knowing what the name meant. I also gave him his habit of drinking mint tea before discovering that mint is huge on Cyprus.

woot...

I see, well, that seems to clear things up, since I could only ever find "Kallipoleos" connected to a University in Cyprus , still even that works into my character. At least your not alone in it PK, of course, the mint thing really is kinda intriguing , what motivated it in the first place?

I personally love mint. Spearmint, peppermint, ect... In the Hippodrome, I just wrote it in for fun. Then when I was researching Cyprus cuisine for our story, I read that mint is put into just about everything because the plant grows so well on the island.
