Most of his spine is in his lower half so that's most of his back. I assumed that's where she put her hand on.

Exaaactly ;v

I mean she likes his horse curves more than human curves, not that the latter are anything bad.

Update 4: Paragraphs from Aen Tóll Gaevain's "Awakening of the Celtic War Spirit"



In existence since c.340BC, the outpost of Hannover was surely discovered by the Celts in c.220BC, and immediatelly have induced a response from the Celts.



The Celtic Republic pushed for removal of Germans, but their leader, the strong-willed Maria Theresa, would have none of it, and declared war. This gave Celts a reason to raid the city of Hannover; the debate on the course of action took the Republicans some years to settle, but the pro-conquest faction gained upper hand and the horse archers of the Celtic Republic were given an order to raid and capture the Germanic settlement



The raids continued for next 20 years, and horse archers, primarily from Caernarfon and Caerphilly, have worn down the defenders of Hannover and captured it in or circa 160BC. Only a small Germanic population remained in the city; the rest is thought to have perished during the subsequent pillaging, or they have fled the region, or both.



First Universities were created shortly after establishment of Banking methods in 80BC. In the same year, there seems to be a breakdown of relations between the Celts and Americans, as the latter declared war against the Republic.



This wasn't the end of woes of the Celtic Republic, as, like a certain tablet record suggests, the Japanese and Americans signed an alliance against Celtic raiders.



The alliance was ineffective, as the 'List of Triumphs' clearly records razing of St.Louis in 100AD, and then a great victory against American Phalanxes westwards of the ruined city about the same year. This set of victories against the enemies of the Republic instilled a feeling of pride and confidence in the Celts, setting the background for many later wars that would come out of Celtic desire for conquest.

Update 3: Excerpts from Tainn Schoech's "Before St.Culbert: History the Early Celtic Republic"



In the year 1180BC, the Republican system arose from the ashes of the oppresive monarchy. It was the first time in which the common peoples, thanks to the boost in trade and production, enjoyed some first luxuries of the ancient world; salt, wine and metal crafts, previously allowed only for the use and enjoyment of the ruling family and priestly caste.



It has been recently discovered that the Celts possessed knowledge of ancient Construction techniques since about 1180BC, which come from the several clay tablets discovered at the site of the ancient Great Library. There are similarities in architectural designs of both Celtic and Japanese buildings, suggesting that these tablets were copied from Japanese texts.

The copy of Japenese knowledge would coincide with the sudden improvement of Seafaring techniques amongst Celtic sailors, with the earliest tablets for the teaching of young sailors coming from about 1160BC.



By the end of the second millenium BC, the Horse Equipment became more elaborate; stirrups and saddles in particular were first produced, and used, on horses. This led to development of horse archery, a craft that Celts would use for far-away expeditions, or, as records from the Tintagel prove, to effectively repel Japanese raiders.

Period of 980-780BC is thought to be a golden period of Celtic stability; whilst no much expansion or scientific progress was made, the Celts nonetheless enjoyed a previously unseen prosperity and security, as well as general happiness; with no uprisings or revolts noted.



The relations with Japanese were hostile at best; mutiple petty declarations of war were issued by both sides, and rarely did the Japanese and Celts cooperate in any affairs.



It wasn't till 740BC that Celts have mastered the art of Engineering. Pulleys and water screws became commonplace, as well as the first forays into automated bow - a crossbow.



A brief merger of Japanese and Celtic cultures happened in 540BC, when a captive Japanese general of Chinese descent, Sun Tzu, have changed sides after twenty years of captivity. He quickly merged the Japanese tactical principles with the horse prowess of the Celts, and the republican council constructed a military academy in Armagh.



The oldest examples of Celtic crossbow come from c.500BC, when engineering and simple water-powered machinery became commonplace, and Invention of new such devices became somewhat of a hobby of elder statesmen.



In 460BC settlement of Cork has been established north of Tintagel desert. It is thought that the mountainous range, separating the forested areas to the north from the desert, contained ores that were useful for Celtic engineers.



The earliest records of diplomatic relationship with the impoverished, mostly-conquered Americans comes from 420BC, when Tintagel horse archers met with Roosevelt's emissary at St.Louis, a city that was found near newly-established Cork. Said record, a clay tablet (partially damaged) speaks of a peace treaty and establishment of mutual borders between the two nations.



Relations with Germans must've been established around or shortly after 400BC, as there are numerous records of a trade caravan headed for Caerphilly.



The latter half of first millenium BC saw even more expansion of the Celtic Republic; a city of Rhymney, strategically located near the shore, gold deposits of Cainn mountains and the plains, was another of settlements founded by the republicans.



Whilst it was previously thought that ancient Celtic Philosophy flourished between 300BC and 200BC, it is now known that the father of the earliest natural theories was St.Culbert of Kells, who lived and gained notoriety in 320BC.

At first ridiculed and subjected to harassment from the Republic, he later managed to garner enough attention to warrant a large following; his disciples, like Ulster, then expanded on those ideas, or, like, Gaól, formalized Culbert's theories, after Culbert's death in 300BC. This allowed the martial, technically-minded Celts to enter a new age of enlightment, providing a fertile soil for the future scientific progress of the Celtic Republic.

What ethos do you fit?
Your Result: Communist

Moral good is the same on the scale of families and neighborhoods as it is on the scale of nations. Give people what they need, and don't keep what you don't. But some people are greedy, so it's up to the government to make sure that goods and labor are distributed equitably. Communism is a noble ideal, but in practice it doesn't always work out that well. More lives have ended in the name of communism than any other ideology, and yet it has still failed in the modern world. Government planning can change priorities, so that even a small island nation like Cuba can have world-class education and medicine, but one cannot ignore Cuba's crushing poverty or harshly limited civil rights. And Cuba is one of the best off, being mostly free of corruption. A communist may talk in ideals, it's hard to ignore that those highest ideals have never really been reached.
