Heh heh heh, ah me. Well, unless you believe that I'm really married and a battledore maker, yeah, the descriptions all have to do with the game.

Elempi is having it so that all the villagers are related to each other in some way and have specific ages. We've been able to picked whether we want to be old, young, married, or un-married. He's going to choose who to match with whom re: spouses, parents, siblings, etc.

So at the moment... if you were to say "I will be a husband" you run the risk of LMP marrying you off to either me, Roa, or Lhuna since we're on the list as wives. Or you could be a swinging bachelor and run after all the eligible females. Or you could be an older widower... etc.
