Have at it

Curiosity question here - are the names for the ranks in a different language? It seems to be European of some sort. Or are those just made up?

I think it's translated from Norwegian. I used Google translate and Radgivar translates to 'advisor'

Norwegian > English > Advisor
Norwegian Bokmål > English > Consultant
Swedish > English > Advises

Barnflicka
Norwegian > English > Nanny
Swedish > English > Nanny

Skydd
Norwegian > English > Protection
Swedish > English > Protection

So if not some coincidence, I'm guessing it's either Norwegian or Swedish used to create the ranks.

Ahhh interesting. I was going to guess Swedish, but I see I was utterly wrong. Google Translate is simply superb. By the way, I'm quite fond of the graphic in your signature. Did you make it yourself?

Oh, thank you ^^ I did make it myself, however, it wasn't much work. On PSE I used to lasso tool to select the one eye and changed the hue/saturation to fit my wolf's appearance. Then I just added text and changed the hue of the background a bit.

And I agree, Google translate is a very useful thingamajigger. While it is not always reliable, it is really helpful and is good for rough translations.

Would you be willing to make one for me? I completely understand if the answer is no. I'm simply partial to your style. And yes. I'm bilingual and often get my languages confused, especially since I'm learning two more. Google Translate has often been my savior. And you are more than welcome.

I'd love to make one! (Just tell me information in the chat or here like reference and whatnot, works either way) And yes, I understand. I know some Spanish and Italian and I'm learning French. Often in French class I'd mix up French with Spanish phrases.

If I may ask, what languages are you learning at the moment?

Ahh well I speak English and Spanish. And at the moment I'm learning Italian and Gaelic. The Gaelic is especially difficult because it isn't a Latin-based language. That and I'm teaching myself.

As for information! Could you put his name (Senach) and the following quote?
"A million little pieces
We've broken into"

And here are some pictures to use! One Two Three Four

Italian <3 After playing Assassin's Creed two I loved the language. I'm not going to be learning it officially but I'm learning bits here and there. Also, I Googled your character's name, Senach, and it appears to be in Gaelic. Is that how you chose the name of your wolf?

Oh goodness that is quite well done! Thank you for taking my little request. I'll begin wearing it immediately. Would you mind if I used it on other websites?

I did use the Gaelic language to choose Senach's name. I looked up traditional Gaelic names, and this one really caught my interest. As for your Italian, well I would love to help you if you wanted. I spent all of last year living abroad in Florence.

Go head' and use it on other sites, I don't mind ^^
Ah, interesting c: Deimos was a name of a moon I planned to use for a while. Never got to use it till' now! Glad I did. Also, I can't learn two languages since I've got a lot of work in French class, but thank you for the offer =D But any who, what is Florence like?

I saw on your biography that little tidbit about moons. Highly creative and original - I applaud you. Too often you see wolves with names like "Shadow" and "Storm". I love some originality and thought you know?

As for Florence, well to say it was beautiful would be an understatement. It was an incredible opportunity that I was lucky to be able to take advantage of. Have you ever traveled?

I haven't travelled much. Occasionally I go to Duluth and Wisconsin as a family vacation. I must say, Wisconsin Dells is a treat. Lots of family fun :3

Me and my family rented a pontoon boat and went along that river. Apparantly this is one of the few places in the world with the most plentiful rock formations (With that kind of stone.) Still, I'd love to travel further to see more culture x3 Have you been anywhere else, aside from Florence?

That's a beautiful picture you have there. I've traveled quite extensively, though I've had a good deal more years to do it than you. I've been to France, England, The Roman Baths, the Philippines, Mexico, Belize, Canada and quite a number of the states.
