It's not that sad, really. I prefer deliveries over everything else. Besides, I'll still fight once in a while. The WRO always needs more hands.
What Jam said. Might be gone in a bit. It depends on how observant my teachers are.

MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistSee ya, guys!
@Crownguard - Well...both gwishins and dokkaebis are malevolent beings. The latter is more mischievous, though.
Gwishins are...I don't know, at least according to the versions I've heard from my grandparents and friends, they are spirits who haven't passed to the underworld or heaven due to various reasons, but mostly out of regret and vengeance. Apparently you die when you encounter one, but I've never really heard how. The most popular image is pale women wearing equally pale robes, and I have to say, I think I actually saw one of those when I was going to bathroom, and they can really terrifying. It's really best not to encounter, under any circumstances.
The only exception, however, are the ghosts of those who are really close to you, especially those of our ancestors. Allegedly they protect us, but Buddhists and those Catholics say differently. I'm confused, really.
Dokkaebis...they are more neutral, but they are no good either. They can summon things with their clubs, but they only brings existing things so they are technically stealing. If you can trick them, you can get good things from them, including blessings, but they have a rather twisted sense of what is good, so they are better be avoided.
One of the American soldiers I came across remarked that they are like goblins. I don't know what those are supposed to be, though.

Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.Huh... Your description of those Gwinshins seems to fit some of the... monsters under noxian flag I have encountered. They look different though, they resemble rotten corpses.
Dokkaebi... Well, I guess there is one creature I have encountered that can fit the description. She, however, prefers rather... stealing people's hearts.
@Cloud - Wait, those can be killed? Did you somehow summon the Sashin? Are you a Mu Dang?
Wait, rabbits?
Obviously, there's no way Cloud would know any of those, but Jin Tae is just assuming that he does.
@Crownguard - Stealing hearts, as in literally or metaphorically?

Um... not really. I can fight a bit, I suppose, but that's more of a necessity where I'm from.

MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistWhy are you hugging me so much?
Call me a devil... it just means I'll have to use my hellish powers to get you to listen! F:36 S:0/20@Cloud - Is that so? What IS your place like anyways? My country was like that several hundred years ago when it was repeatedly invaded by Mongolians and Japanese pirates.
Also, did you say giant rabbits? They sound nice. I used to go around and hunt rabbits (small ones, obviously) with my brother. They can make some good snacks.
@Crownguard - Right, I forgot that you might now know that.
Well, those are shamans, exorcists, and doctors. Well, not the last one, since Yoon Dong Ju sunsaengnim developed the antivirus for polio, which was the most common diseases those people were call in to cure.

It's alright, I suppose. The Shinra empire just got overthrown recently, so we're mostly rebuilding after some... stuff.
-to Garen- Thanks. That's a lot more trust than most people would have.
MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistReally... I really wasn't expecting that. I normally don't swing that way...

Gwishin? Dokkaebi? Sounds like something that could exist in Ionia... Would you care to elaborate, Sir Lee Jin Tae?
(To Cloud) I see. Well, everyone has to put the sword away one day, sadly.
