[Mkguild] Metamor's planet

[Kit]

Well to a certain extent this is all true. However, we define things like
gravity and such by what we know. MK's name for their planet would translate
in our language to earth anyway. They would define gravity as 1 G, the sun
to be warm, the atmosphere to be nice. They are as adapted to their world as
we are to ours. Now the fact that Fox Cutter is there throws a wrench into
the works, though I have a personal theory that because he's a natural stuff
like different gravity and atmosphere composition doesn't phase him much.
Haven't finished reading his stories, so I don't know for sure, but for the
most part, your questions are moot because everyone there would consider it
to be normal. Furthermore, the map Raven gave can be considered
'incomplete'. For all we know that map to scale with the rest of the world
is just the size of Australia or something. Maybe even smaller. So while
there's flexibility in world structure, and geology and stuff, most of this
gets translated into our terms and would just be considered normal.
