Hmm... Yeah. I doubt you. A teeny tiny bit :P
But look on the bright side! It forces you to think a little ^^ Sorry if that sounds insulting, btw, not meant as such. But still, me asking this made you write that response. It made you write down why currency is not a thing. 

But even then, I just find it... strange, I guess you could say, that 300 years have passed with nothing but simple trade and bartering. It makes getting some things easier, t'is true, but it also makes other things more difficult. Not really possible to measure "wealth" if you can't measure it in a number. At the very least it's much more difficult to do so.

Also: Trying to find a picture that looks like my character. Do you have [i]any[/i] idea how difficult that is? :/ <.< Stupid Internet not having what I'm looking for.

I already think most things through, you just need to ask the right questions xD. Trade and barter is not simple, it's an art. Each sides have their downfalls, I however, have provided a perfectly reasonable, realistic argument for my side, and I have yet to be convinced otherwise haha. Wealth can be measured in innumerable ways, most commonly it's just how we perceive it. If I have no need for perfume, then that would not be valuable to me, which in turn would not lead the salesperson to aggregate wealth from me. However, if I am in need of a firearm, then the gunsmith would be quite wealthy as I perceive him against my needs to his. He needs very little from me, yet I need much from him. This creates a contrast of supply and demand. I must have something the gunsmith wants, and obtain something from nothing I must be useful, to be useful I must have a skill, to have a skill I must learn. By learning a skill, applying the skill, I can now become the gunsmith. I can be useful to society as a whole, I do not weigh down the market with non-skill endeavors like cure-all tonics and miracle herbs. By paying a set price for a "cure-all" one without use could be of considerable wealth, however, in comparison to what I need, versus what I am willing to give up, versus what he wants, creates a situation for haggling.

In the end, using barter instead of a medium creates a complex dynamic of goods exchange, which is quite efficient and functional. People who are useful, survive. People who are not, do not. It's that simple, but the practise itself is a living, evolving thing. I see little point to a set medium in a world such as this.


As for Evelina's Reference picture. Find me a face you like, and I can change the eyes pretty easily. You could even find a stock image of cat eyes and I could add them, or just tell me what color you want. Maybe add elongated canines too, if the mouth is agape.
