All verbs in the future form, use an y at the end of the verb and the verb Werzet (Will), beforehand.
New OC!! His name is Novo (short for Novoselic; his last name. Haven't decided on a first name yet). His story is that he is Croatian (not sure yet if he's a Croatian immigrant to another country or if he lives in Croatia) and he often puts this very silly, unserious face on. However, deep down, Novo just wants to be taken seriously. Things like his lazy eye, his overly lanky body type, his name being close to the girl's name "Nova", and his possible immigrant status prevent most people from taking him seriously. So, Novo puts on his "silly" mask, acting sort of as the "comedic relief" character of the group, because he believes that being the clown is all he'll ever be.
