    I think it is close enough to a real-time strategy.

    @DoctorEldritch 😁 In this case it's not a Girl with a Dragon Tattoo and a boy LOL!!.

    My birthday is in August and the Dragon is one of the Zodiac signs I chose as a design because I am in love with the mythical creature. I could've chosen a different Zodiac for example the Rooster but I'm not of eastern origin.

    Our family comes from a Norse background and that's why I chose it.

    My heart was set on getting a Wolf tattoo and I changed my mind.

    Also, my name means German Wolf and originates from my ancestral trail. Apparently, I am from the Visigoth bloodline.

    @DracoTarot Do you like mythical creatures in general or just dragons?

    So you're paying a tribute to your ancestors, that's nice. I wonder how Norse background ended up all the way down in South Africa, that must have been quite a trip your ancestors made.

    But I am a bit confused now, your Chinese Zodiac star sign is the dragon, or you just chose the dragon because you like them?

    @DoctorEldritch Looking back at my ancestral tree, it goes back centuries and how our family ended up in South Africa is still unclear. What I can gather is there were many marriages between different cultures in our family and through the years my bloodline ended up in South Africa.

    From my father's side, the family tree shows his forefathers were Norwegian. It's a bit complicated LOL!!

    My Chinese Zodiac is actually a Rooster and not the Dragon. As mentioned in QueenTomato's post about Starsigns I'm associated with different types of symbols. I'm a Dragon in mythical lore. I'm a Wolf in Pagan mythology and also in today's common Zodiac, I'm a lion.

    I adapted the Dragon as my choice as Zodiac. The Chinese culture adopted the animal Zodiac for symbolism even if it didn't originate from them.

    The true origin comes from the Pagans, animals were seen as guardians and soul keepers. When a warrior dies on the battlefield he will either enter the gates of Valhalla or be reincarnated as a spirit animal. Wolfs are the most common!!

    To stick to the Chinese Zodiac and not to cause any more confusion I meant to say I am a Rooster!! 😁

    @DracoTarot It is good that you can follow all that, I never did manage to follow my family tree very far. You be what you want to be, I myself am Dragon in Chinese star sign sense only. Have no idea what I may be in Pagan mythology, though, never looked into it.

    But about reincarnation, really? I did not know Norse had that concept, I thought they could end up in the equivalent of heaven Valhalla, or the equivalent of hell Hel (and I think there is also a place called Fólkvangr, supposedly a meadow, but I am not sure what goes on there). Could you be reincarnated too?

    On the subject of the Norse afterlife:

    @DoctorEldritch With Pagans there is evidence that the Norse believed in reincarnation where one's hugr would pass into the body of a newborn relative while one's hamingja continued on in the family at large and one's fylgja seems to have just ceased to exist at the person's death.

    On the other hand, when Vikings died they believed they would go to Valhalla, where they would spend their afterlife. Before Christianity, Valhalla was the Viking eternal paradise, like Heaven. Valkyries were warrior-women goddesses who searched battlefields for dead heroes.
