All this talk of tans reminds me, are people taking summer breaks? Things have slowed a little. Who is next to post in the Emperium?<br/><br/>Are we going to proceed with getting Veronica into contact with her new owner Ricardo?<br/><br/>Photo and Summoner - I haven't heard from you in the OOC or the IC threads for a while, are you still with us? Vin and Helvorn are waiting on you, so a post, please would be lovely.<br/><br/>Should we move things on so we get to Darya's party?<br/><br/>Can people work towards finishing the scenes they are in now and we can then think about moving things on.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Interesting discussion about ethnicity!<br/><br/>Israelis are clearly Caucasian, as are all middle-eastern races. The thin nose is the feature of Caucasians. Indians also retain some Caucasian features. Khazakstanis have more Slavic/Mongoloid features than Caucasian, and you can tell that from the prominent cheekbones and eye shape. Koreans, Thais, Chinese and Japanese all stem from the Slavic peoples ancient migrations east and south east.<br/><br/>I thought Aborigines were an onwards SE migration from these people and Oceania and the Pacific Islanders a further eastward migration still.<br/><br/>North American Indians are a further migration of Slavic/Mongoloid types across the Alaskan land-bridge and finally South American Indians are the furthest travelled of all.<br/><br/>@ Vin - I was a teeny bit annoyed, because it was an IC comment which means the answer doesn't need to be justified, its a feature of Georges' character (he's a reverse racist and likes to abuse both tiny women and white women so a petite Japanese or Thai is his perfect victim). And yes, that simple NPC grew 'character features' as I was writing the post, I had no idea they were there until I'd finished it, but there you go, these things tend to pop up on the fly sometimes.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=141836.msg6540993#msg6540993">Quote from: vin26m on 05-07-2012, 15:34:35</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I once met someone who looked Asian but spoke English with a Russian accent.  I asked where he was from, and it was one of the former Soviet republics.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>A typical Slav, exactly what I'd expect of a Russian.
