+1 Elf

[mutedsuspicions]

Hello fellow kids, I'm Xi and I'm bringing my skittish mess of an elf Lerith here! He's an OC based in the Dragon Age Inquisition game (canon point: attack on Haven). I hope some of you have your hands ready because he's a mute that depends primarily on ASL, but then resorts to writing (well, here typing) to communicate.

You can find me over at plantations for ooc comms.

I look forward to having him interact with you guys here! <3

Hello, welcome, I am Bear! I actually have Paul on the TDM--sorry he's been slow, I still haven't worked out what's going on with him.

Here and ready, though, is Tony! I'm not sure these two will have much in common, but he's very talkative regardless and does understand sign language. How different their sign languages could be might cause some interesting chaos.

Besides that, what are you here for, what are you most excited about, what can we do, etc?!

[mutedsuspicions]

Gosh how dare you not have everything planned out /sarcasm

Chaos might get a journal thrown at you, or the charcoal he writes with. If he's not scared of you first, Tony. Someone that talks that loud with that much charisma has to be a magister (totally logical, don't @ Lerith).

I'm here to play, very excited to see the kinds of stories we can all write together with the characters (:

Heeey! Welcome aboard! It has been forever and a half since I've played Dragon Age but all the same, look forward to bouncing my guys off of elfie! I think at least one of my chars should be able to sign. This'll be fun!

Oh right- I'm Aya, and I play Cayde-6 and Lord Felwinter from that shooty Destiny game thingy, and Cal Kestis and Omega from Star Wars things.

[mutedsuspicions]

Well, at least you've played DA because I've never played Destiny and I don't those names from the Star Wars franchise XD Yeah, this'll definitely be fun. XD

And even if they don't know how to sign, once Lerith gets more comfortable with the characters, he'll attempt to teach them sign. :D

[deal_me_in]

Cal's from the Jedi: Fallen Order game, and Omega's from the Bad Batch series. I think Omega would pick up really well if Lerith tries teaching her. She'd definitely be the most eager to learn, too.

I see a log. I'mma attack it.

Welcome to our little place!

I'm Zet, I play Jonathan Sims aka The Archivist from the Magnus Archives Horror Podcast. He's more an audio person, obviously, but since he canonically knows everything is bound to know sign language as well. So. There is that. You may assume his texting speed is that of an elderly person.

Hope you have fun here!

[mutedsuspicions]

Well, that's an interesting feature. I'm guessing he would know all of the world's sign languages and have to filter out which one Lerith was using. (And obviously since there's no known Thedas sign language I've had to default to American).

And Lerith's right there with you, Magnus. He can write fast but texting? Whole different thing, complete with more errors than Clippy can shake a endpoint at.

I mean, there is the fun part with the difference between knowing something and understanding it. Hence while Jon *knows* sign language, he's by no means experienced at using it. Basically he's the avatar of an eldritch entity that hoards ALL THE KNOWLEDGE, yet at the same time is said to be the unwisest of the Fears since it literally understands nothing of all the stuff it knows. It's good fun.

But eldritch horrors aside, Jon tends to be harmless and genuinely tries to help where he can by gathering information at what used to be the library of the city while trying not to prey on anyone's fears and secrets. Visit the library and meet the mothcats that live there now and have adopted Jon! No books, only mothcats.

“ Basically he's the avatar of an eldritch entity that hoards ALL THE KNOWLEDGE“

Hermaeus Mora is that you? /skyrimjoke

Lerith does like libraries and books, tho the info page said those were in short supplies. He’ll probably stop in for a visit (aka, duck in when he gets scared).

...the library of the alien species that has never developed/needed any form of written speech. But the Agrii at least try to emulate human written language every once in a while with debatable success.
