| well since aging isn't really that big a deal in Felarya... Age probably does not constitute retirement, but since Isolon Fist members are very powerful and dangerous, as well as some of the higher ranks knowing sensitive information. So the higher ups will probably consider "retirement" to be death only. | |

| well if you are getting fired it's cause you screwed up majorly, and if you screw up majorly in felarya, that's probably going to equal you getting killed. When it comes to the isolon fist the only way you can leave is one of 4 ways, A. You were too new to be any threat or get any information B. you were injured to the point where you were incapable of being a threat C. You ran off into the jungle and never returned to Negav again D. You leave the fist, but still prove to be of valuable use | |

A. You were too new to be any threat or get any information B. you were injured to the point where you were incapable of being a threat C. You ran off into the jungle and never returned to Negav again D. You leave the fist, but still prove to be of valuable use The Isolon Fist isn't some kind of spartan-esque lifelong thing. Its a military unit. They probably have tours of duty just like everyone else. People can probably opt out at the end of their tour. The only people who should have any trouble with that are the battlemages, since they are so highly trained and potentially dangerous. They likely have very limited job options if they leave The Fist, probably in the Isolon Academy or something. Keep in mind, the Isolon Fist isn't a compulsary thing. People who join it, are doing it because they choose to. Between the thrill/danger of it, the pay and benefits, quite a few people stay in it for long periods of time. Its the most elite military unit in known Felarya. | |

Yeah I tried to revise that by saying that those who would present a threat to Negav and the Magiocrats if they left would not be allowed to live in that situation. After all you wouldn't just let a nuclear missile ride off into the sunset with a passionate Celine Dion soundtrack playing now would you? | |

| Yes, but it would have to be designed for them. With Kensha beasts, that would mean that it'd be pretty big. Also, they may not have the desired effect. With inu, since they are intelligent, they'd probably try to stop you, violently. Same with kensha actually, if they were close enough to identify you as the source. | |

| I would define it a little bit more.
Yes, Inu and Kenshas and other canine creatures would be able to hear that whistle and it would probably be something that they dislike to hear from close up since it's an annoying sound. You as a human don't want to hear someone use a whistle next to your ear either and now imagine that a few times louder!
However, since Inus are intelligent beings, they do NOT always try to stop you from whistling by violence! Depending on certain agreements or previous uses, it may be used as an emergency signal that only a few species (inus included) could hear, so it would be something similar to a secret signal, like Using it to be found or warn other Inus of the same tribe or something like that. There is a high possibility that some Inus do excactly that, but not everyone of course.
AJ was right in the case that someone uses that whistle without caring about any secret messages and the like. It still is an annoying sound and if you use it as a human while being close to an Inu, they'd probably freak out after a few moments, maybe even attack you. | |

It wouldn't be louder it would have a higher frequency. How loud something is is measured in decibel while frequency is measured in hertz. | |

| Did I ever say that they didn't? All I said was that you used the wrong term. Loudness is a measure of the amplitude of a sound wave while frequency is a measure of how many periods occur in one second. | |

| I think that he means that due to an inu's more sensitive hearing, they would perceive it as being louder. Perception. | |

Drill Instructor is a term used for the REAL badasses of military training: NCOs and SNCOs within either the United States Marine Corps First Recruit Training Regiment, or the United States Marine Corps Second Recruit Training Regiment. And truuuuust me, a whistle next to your ear is nothing. Also, DZ, your comment is premature and potentially inflammatory. While I agree that there is obvious tension, I do not think it is showing so prominently here. You may be reading too much into it. Start calling "Fire!" and there'll be a panic in the theater. Enough derailment. Next question. | |

| Well, everything that is nocturnal will just go away as far as possible.
For the rest, and that includes nocturnal and diurnal animals, well I don't think they are stupid enough to come by and smell what a fire is. So they'll just run away to stay alive.
(I checked, and it said on my traductor that a flare is like...a flame. So yeah.) | |

| Krisexy's right. Well, a flare is really a device that gives off a bright, often colored light, although older uses can mean "flame". They're also called fusees.
In any case, anything that is so used to darkness would be stunned or surprised by the intense light, and would probably avoid it. However... flares don't last forever, and some may notice the light is gone and go to investigate... | |

| A flag representing a city is typically earth-like. if ever negav will have a flag, itll be because theyve been inspired by human from earth, which is unlikely to happen.
and ive been told this before: magiocrats and all that crew do not care about the "design" of the city. meaning that: negav is neutral, grey, not recognized to be a colourful city with so much joy. | |

Ehh, its more about a uniting symbol to form a national identity. Its hardly "earth-like", really. Humans have been using flags/crests/banners and so on before they even knew there was an "earth" and before they even knew what a "human" was. Its just something that pops up within nearly every single organized society to ever exist. - Quote :

This is the part that puzzles me. Why earth? Who's to say that they couldn't be inspired by offworlders from another world? Hell, even the Ur-Sagolians likely had a national symbol...and there's strong evidance that more than a few Ur-Sagolians were allowed to assimilate into Negav back when it was a neko settlement. - Quote :

That's not entirely accurate. Keep in mind, Negav is home to a MASSIVE variety of archecture because of all the immigrants and differing views. You also have to factor in the local influence as well. If the Magiocrats "don't care" about the majority of the city design, then there likely are very few, if any, zoning laws. People can likely paint and decorate their homes/businesses any way they want. I imagine the middle district is fairly colorful, thanks to all the shops, inns and such (bright colors to attract customers). Hell, the low district is probably not that dull either. I could imagine quite a few bars and inns using neon lights and such. The Magiocrats are a government. Every government that has ever existed has had some kind of official symbol, seal or flag. I doubt the Magiocrats are any different. Symbols are powerful things, especially if your government is taking over after kicking out the previous ruler, and your goal is to rebuild a damaged city full of scared and shaken people. You'd NEED a flag to rally behind for that kind of thing to even work. As for how it should look.... I say the same color as the city's walls, with a pale purple eye in the center (the same purple as the Isolon Eye crystal). Maybe some stripes/stars/other little symbols to fill in the empty space. Maybe the smaller symbols could represent the original magiocrat council...so you'd have as many of them as there are seats on the council. Lots of ways to go with it really. Negav isn't some dull grey dystopian state. Its a diverse, likely vibrant trade-hub. | |
