Well, there's a bunch of TWEWY stuff on Gaia, you just have to find it.
The RP I'm in is oneXone, but there are guilds, that you can join that have roleplays, too.

And I made my name up.
Like I said, it was for an RP character of mine who I made waaaay back in the day.
Her name is made up of two kanji, "死" (shi) and "子"(ko).
Shi, when written in kanji with that symbol, means death, and ko means child and is a common female name ending.
So Shiko means "Death child."
Has a nice ring to it in both languages, huh?
XD
It could also mean "Fourth child" if I wrote it with　"四" instead.

And when I look in my Japanese/English dictionary, the only thing close to "shiko" I find is "shikou," which can mean taste or consideration/thought, depending on how you write it.
And for "shiki," I found a few entries that say it can mean a ceremony/rite, morale, the four seasons, or direction/command, depending on how you write it.

lol the kanji,s seems the same to me XD

Lol.
I suppose after studying the language for a few years you learn to distinguish them.
Unless your computer can't read Japanese, then it'll look the same as some kind of keystroke symbol.

It is. One word in japanese has different meanings. Even english is a complex language. xD.

The topic's not in kanji, but hiragana (Japanese is weird and has three writing systems...), and reads "Konnichiwa," or in English, "Hello."

And stone in Japanese is "ishi" and rock is "iwa."
I wonder where they got that from...

Welcome. I thought Shiki changed his name and then I saw a gender change as well which was odd.

Nice to meet you. Like a Star @ heaven

Are you very fluent in Japanese? It's a language I'd love to master but I'm still an amateur in it.

Subject: Re: こんにちは～ Fri Apr 03, 2009 2:14 am

Thank you freed.

Venus: Not 100% fluent, but I can carry on a decent conversation about various topics.
If you ever want someone to practice with, message me.

-cough- -cough- Really now? xD

Thank you, Mark.

Shiki:
I don't think Venus meant that you had an actual sex change, she meant she noticed my gender was female and then realized I was not you.
XD

I think it'd be cool for us to duel against/with one another, Shiki.
XD
