BYSTANDERS

[ihatefire.livejournal.com]

What the hell, may as well make a third post for this. The upcoming Civil War plot needs innocent bystanders, because what's a horrible fight without people haphazardly thrown into harm's way? Anyone seriously hurt as a bystander will be/has been already warned.

New characters, older characters, whatever--we need a crowd to go "HO SHIT, WHAT ARE THEY DOING?" and to try to get each other out of the way. They can also help the security team or spur of the moment decide to help the "Kill it" crew, but keep in mind "helping" might actually hinder either group. (But will certainly make it more interesting).

Please don't use this to stack the deck too much against the "Kill it" group, though, as we have very few members. This is more for folks that are game for having their characters go about their day and have it interrupted with "WHY ARE PEOPLE SHOOTING GUNS AND STUFF?!"

The ConLang Meme

Inspired by Jaime's totally not ridiculous Spanglish, this is the place where you post examples of constructed languages in your character's universe.

For Lafiel, the Abh language is called Baronh. The alphabet is called Ath and is a syllabic alphabet that is a very distant descendant of Japanese with all the foreign influences removed. Spoken, it sounds like a bizzare hybrid of Welsh, Finnish and Russian. Her name means "Jewel" in Baronh.

Spoken Baronh:

A dictionary is available here.

For Sheeana, her native ConLang is Chakobsa, a distant descendant of Arabic, spoken by the desert dwelling Fremen of Dune.

Here is a song sung in that language:

There are several other languages mentioned that don't recieve such an extensive treatment, including Galach (the standard language of the Imperium) and Bene Gesserit hand talk, a secret sign language.
