What did they do with themselves before the MC too? F and N are always talking about how dour and boring it was. Did they all just sit around a brood about how humans suck (A and M) or humans don’t like them (N and F)?
I kind of get the dog/pet comparisons with F. MC coming in is like introducing a puppy to a room full of sulky adults.
Dezh would totally want to make a battlemage. It combines the ability to hack things apart with the ability to blow them to hell, which is right up her alley.
Nyx would want to be a tank fighter.
Wolfe would want to be a Legionnaire Scout a’la Dragon Age.
Jax would want to be a ninja, lol.
Edited to add something unrelated, but didn’t want to put up a new post and get yelled at!
I am still going through Sera’s tumblr asks and putting together the doc on M (I had to stop for a while due to work) and found this little treasure trove on the LT:
OMG on the little scene she included. Poor Nate. But Adam… Nyx would so not dodge that much, though. She’d fight him, lol.
A and M will be easy to fit in a DND or RPG team: The Knight and the Mage.
N however can be a fighting roll as well as the Negotiator.
F should be the ‘fun’ one: a Dwarf Alchemist that has a wild knowledge of Herb medicine happens to be the cook of the team and knowing about semeiology so she/he will always carries a fighting banner that boost team morale into the battle. A belt of dwarf potion, a powder barrel of explosives, a banner flag at back with a cooking wok as shiled and the medic carry-box as a flail.
There’s no book that it was actually based on. It was initially planned to be a novel but Sera wasn’t able to decide which RO the MC will end up with that she decided to make it into an IF.
Marla would play a druid, a cat to be precise, because “omg, what do you mean I can play as a cat the whole game?!”. She just really likes animals, ok
Astrid would play a death knight. Why? Well, she is romancing F, so every time she summons her undead minions she would be “look Felix, I have my own Thralls now!”. She thinks is hilarious, the rest of UB might disagree.
Irina would play an ice/arcane mage. She thinks they are the most intellect driven. Plus, when she is playing alone she laughs like a maniac every time she roots and enemy about to escape.
Then, Iris. She would be a tank. She would like to be a defender irl, but doesn’t have it on her to jump into battle. A warrior tank most likely. She loves the ability intervene to soak dmg aimed for her more squeeze teammates.
I’m… scared of this. Not because of N, of course, but because of F.
N: we have advanced a lot today, Detective, we will continue the lessons tomorrow, alright?
MC: Sure! Again N, thank you for using your time on this.
N My pleasure : ) later on
MC: Hey F! Hytan talolsh!
F: Detective! That was almost perfect!! I guess you wanted to say “hello friend”?.
MC: Yes, how was it?
F: Instead of talolsh is more like taloolsh. The o sound a bit longer.
MC: Like this? Hytan taloolsh?
F, smiling a lot: that’s perfect, Detective. Again, later on
MC: N, hytan taloolsh
N, shocked at first, frowning then, and pressing their fingers against their nose: you saw F, didn’t you?
MC : what did I say.
N: You said, “hello, fuckers”. F laughs from the other side of the apartment
F would teach you the cuss words, then get bored. I suppose that is your intention though, and they wouldn’t beat pronunctiation and grammer into you. It’d be a quick lesson!
Edit:
Has someone already suggested N and F having wildly different accents? Like N is proper, clear pronunctiation and F is just a mess of contractions and slang?
N lost their accent due to learning various languages so we can’t identify their mother tongue. Same with M. For F, I think Sera mentioned New Orleans but I have to check.
A seems to be the only character that has a confirmed accent but I do imagine Adam speaking like the way Tom Hiddleston talk but a bit deeper.
@Meira_Litch That was the video I just watched. We actually use “dead” to mean “very” here too (“I’m dead tired,” “I came in dead last”).
N–probably the mid-atlantic accent (if you’ve ever seen an old American film, that’s why they sound weird)
F–Deep South (uses a lot of contractions and the South in general has different slang, f.x. “buggy” vs “shopping cart” and “soda” vs. “Coke”)
