[The End is Nigh] Abstract Thought

Wait a minute... it seems that everyone knows Old Realm (almost, anyway) but there are quite a few different dialects. So despite coming from vastly different backgrounds (or entire different dimensions in some cases), we can all speak the same language with a different accent. Are.. are we in a movie?


And if so, dibs on Yu-Shan dialect being the "British accent" equivalents
 
Well, considering how all the countries in one quarter of Creation will speak the same language -- even if they're thousands of miles apart, have different religions or have been at war for generations -- with nothing but an accent to differentiate them...
 
Woe. Does that mean if I learn it later I get the American one? =( I'd like Singaporean or Hong-Kong accented!
 
Hmmm... I'm picturing "Creation" Old Realm being the American accent, with Creation Sorcerers sounding like Ye Olde Butcherede English. Malfean Old Realm should be German or Russian.


For some reason, I can only imagine Autocthonian as sounding French. Although given their Aztec Communist Cyborg roots, maybe Russian fits them better...

Speaking as an American, I have trouble hearing Old Realm as any of the American accents. Film and audiobooks have me too well-trained to equate antiquity with a British accent.
 
I'll just be over here, speaking the language of dreams and emotions while weaving the gossamer strands of time and space....


Fae are weird :3
 
Considering how a lack of shared languages just gives RPing an extra hoop to jump through, I figured we would just ignore it. I planned to, at least.


Then again, if everyone speaks Old Realm, I suppose it's a moot issue.
 
JayTee, welcome to page 2 of the list of characters. This is where all the cool kids hang out.

And also balsa wood sorcerors!
 
Heh, my mental library of songs is pretty small and i find it pretty hard to find a theme song for my character. It's not that it's that important anyways. I'm actually more worried how my character will fit in with the other Sidereals. Her being a little panda among the posh English gentleman types and all that.
 
Flame-tongue Native, Old Realm learned when going to Yu-Shan


I figure that Flame-tongue is Jamaican, mon.

Don't listen to her, JayTee. She's just jealous of our coolness! ;)

How could I possibly be jealous? I'm the one with the mecha!


I always hear Flametongue as a strange mix of Swahili and Arabic, myself.
 
Just realized this, if one of the zeniths became an eclipse the we would have a perfect circle. Anyone up for changing? (Probably not, but just thought that I should mention it.)
 
My gosh. I'm always astounded at the creativity on this site.


These characters are awesome, guys. Really nice work.
 
I've seen some impressive backgrounds from many of the players here. I look forward to getting started.
