Hmm, is there a hidden meaning here? |

If you catch a butterfly.
You can either keep it and watch it die.
Or let it go and watch it fly away.

I barely know how to pronounce that name, Glor, let alone derive some meaning from it.

Wow, didn't think anyone would pick up on that. Yes, that is the meaning. I love Latin and did it all throughout High School and a little in Uni. The noun is derived from the verb fingo which is something of an all-purpose verb meaning to fashion/form/mould/imagine/invent/devise/etc etc. fingo, finxi, fictum is the Latin word from which the English word "fiction" is derived.
Players who've had me as a GM will tell you I am very big on hidden meanings and will take any excuse to slot them in whenever possible. :)
[Edit - I was a GM outside Vives; I am happily keeping my megalomaniacal urges under control and am content to be a Player. For now. Muhahahahaha.] |

| Everything sounds better in Latin. I have Bhrodi's surname tattooed across my abs. I love when people stare at it and have no clue of the meaning! |
