:lol No clue, but thanks! 

> No, I don’t think Drust’s age has been mentioned in IC. Can’t recall that ever coming up, or having the opportunity to come up in conversation for them. Just how old Ghent would perceive him as, I think, appearance-wise. If I’m wrong, sorry!

> Hey, it’s pertinent. :-D Yep, it has a hood! It’s a deep hood, intended to hide Drust's face if necessary. 

Ha! I'm beginning to wonder if anyone with a menacing and/or crazed look and dark hair makes you think of teen Drust. xD <3 

Oh, hey! You mentioned that here. Heh. Promise I didn’t even know you edited this section until I went to respond. 

Woo! Yep, he asked the ‘right questions’ for the tidbit of info I’d been dying to share. That I’d bet you’ve guessed already. ;-) But poor Ghent and his obliviousness. xD At least he doesn’t immediately trust them! He’s got the sense for that. Heh. As always, the little things you add are wonderful, and I'll forever love his personality! And he went to [i]The Powerpuff Girls.[/i] How’s ‘Powerpuff’ not stranger than OmniChrono, Ghent? :lol

So! I’ve gotten the first chapter thing up for the first side-story under “Story Time!” It’s at the very bottom of the info post. Two notes on it: First, something stated in it is different from what’s been stated in IC. Know it’s an intended contradiction in the moment, and there’s a reason for that, which will get stated later. What’s in IC is how it was planned. Then, since you’ll find Ghent’s name used freely in more than just what’s there so far, I wanted to get that explained to you since Drust’s told him to think about an assumed name. Plus, that info would also be found in Hatter’s journal somewhere with other notes about vinifcium, so it’s likely Ghent would read that at some point if he reads the journal. Only in a more condensed form. Will add a sub-section for that under “A Guide to Magic.”

[hider=Vinifcium Name Info] When a vinifcium is born, like everyone else, they’re given a true birth name. However, because of their race, this birth name is one that magic itself knows them by, one that can give spells power, be they cast by or against the vinifcium. Thus, it’s one that's only ever used or known by a grand total of three people: the one it belongs to and their parents. 
	To avoid any mishaps before a child is old enough to understand the implications of using his/her true name, they’re given a second name. A faux name. This is a name vinifcium parents give their child a few months after their birth. It serves as a substitute name, preventing the ignorant child from giving out his or her true name, and gives parents a means of addressing their child. Though some have been told much earlier depending on the child's maturity and understanding, a vinifcium is told their true name typically around the age of ten.
	Between the ages of 12 and 15, they’re required to shed their faux name and take on a new alias they’ll keep through adulthood. This final name ultimately holds no magic power over them since it’s technically the third name they’ve had, and one they chose for themselves. However, if the faux name isn’t abandoned by the vinifcium, it can begin to hold a certain amount of power over them after the age of 16, its power increasing with each year that passes. Should this combine with not knowing their true birth name, it holding some form of power over them is guaranteed. Though only a portion of the strength of knowing a vinifcium’s birth name, it’s still enough to cast many spells on them that would typically be useless without knowing their birth name, though a much deluded version of the full spell.

Hatter’s jounal version (or something like it):
Vinifcium=three names
	1. True/birth name (powerful with spells, tell it to no one)
	2. Fake given name (mostly useless in magic, but [u]must[/u] be dropped before 16)
	3. Assumed name (powerless against owner—Get thinking now!)[/hider]
