One sugestion for the ninja banner. Make it less flat. LIke a mingled gradient of black instead of just solid black. It looks kinda plain compared to the others. Great job though. I really like the mages, knights and pirates.

I just logged in and saw the mage banner. I believe my reaction was: "OOOOoooohh!" It's great! Thanks, Strife.  |

I'm just saying, since Ninja is a Japanese thing, it would be done in a Japanese alphabet, not Chinese. XD Japanese and Chinese are fairly similar, as to their history. I know that it's in Chinese, because I can recognize their letters, but not really read it. For all I know, Strife just called us a bunch of poopy-head... wait a minute.. |

I'm not saying it ain't in Chinese, I'm saying that it doesn't make sense for it to be written in Chinese. XD But you're positive it's Chinese and not just Kanji? Kanji is a series of Chinese characters, but it's not necessarily Chinese, you see... |

I found the symbols on a site that was selling ninja t-shirts, and they claim that it has something do with ninjas. It'd be nice to have a direct translation... but for now, I trust them. ^^ |

Anyways, nice banner, Strifey. Think of it this way: you can use the a Latin-based alphabet to spell things that aren't in Latin. To quote from the Wiki article: Kanji (Japanese: 漢字 (help·info)) are the Chinese characters that are used in the modern Japanese logographic writing system along with hiragana (平仮名), katakana (片仮名), and the Arabic numerals. The Japanese term kanji (漢字) literally means "Han characters". ... While kanji are essentially Chinese hanzi used to write Japanese, there are now significant differences between kanji and hanzi, including the use of characters created in Japan, characters that have been given different meanings in Japanese, and post World War II simplifications of the kanji. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanji |
