Well, things are less scary but still so now that I've figured a few things out
First of all! It's not a touch screen! I have to actively look at the thing I wanna know more about or interact with. Second, I might not be totally screwed.
So, what happens when I want more info on something? I stare at it and a new screen appears, for instance.
Race, lets look at my race for a moment aaand..
Blip!
[Ripjaw]
Lower form of Razor Maw monster. With only enough intelligence to be on par with tribal barbarians, they are often considered to be rare and troublesome monsters to deal with due to their inherit abilities. Mainly being their powerful bite and intense muscular strength. Civilised races will either kill, enslave or form rough trade with Ripjaws in tribes, but lone Ripjaws are known to be free game.
Yah hear that? I'm a barbarian dumbass who's free game for anyone who wants to enslave or kill me? FUCK.
And this confirms my suspicions of being a monster. Not only that, but a lower form of another kind of monster. Just awesome.
As for other things, lets look at Skills and Talents, which I apparently have neither of.
Blip!
[Skills]
Skills come in two classes, passive and active. Passive skills require nothing to use and often refer to resistances. Active skills will require mana or stamina to use, and will cost more or less depending on the skill
Blip!
[Talents]
Talents are not easily earned for most and are usually inborn, unlike skills. They are only purchasable via the absolute ones power.
See? Putting aside the gamelike structure here, lets focus on this "Absolute One".
Blip!
[The Absolute One]

Well then, that was fairly straightforward!
And much less cheeky.
