Does this matter in a setting where [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%B6kk%C3%A1lfar_and_Lj%C3%B3s%C3%A1lfar]the elves are Old Norse[/url] ([url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarf_(mythology)]the dwarves, too[/url]), the [s]hobbits[/s] [s]halflings[/s] [i]Nem[/i] are Tolkienic, the "Naga" is [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamia#In_popular_culture]based in Greek mythology but perfected in its modern form by a guy born in the Sixties[/url],.......and so on?

As of four days ago we [i]have[/i] [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/3991852]a sanctioned Japanese-flair character[/url], too.

I don't think it's that damned egregious.

At what point does "influence from multiple languages and cultures" mean that gratuitous foreign language is acceptable? Yeah, there's a character from fantasy-Japan, who should therefore be the only person using [i]obviously modern Japanese[/i]. The roleplay is English. The language the characters are speaking is transcribed as English (I think it's probably something from the low countries). There is absolutely no reason that a character should be using Japanese. O_o

It's basically having a roleplay set in Rome and then a character casually spouts a Chinese proverb untranslated. Nonsensical.
