Guys, if you don't like it, then you don't have to join. I chose for it to be in Japan because I wanted it to be different and have a unique experience. Roleplays don't have to be realistic in that sort of sense. 

The characters will obviously not be strictly European. After being in Japan for a long while, about ninety percent of the families' population will be oriental, but the ORIGINS of the family (more speciically, House Sorrilith, whose Japanese branch broke apart roughly three years ago) will have been European. 

I don't specifically like people coming into my interest checks and stating that it doesn't make sense without being interested in the first place. I can make whatever roleplay I want without it making sense, because it's supposed to be fun. I don't necessarily have to explain every single part of the idea just for it to make sense. ^_^
