Sign Language sign ups and IC Info Sharing!

[achievementhunter]

Henlo friembs I have a few things to enquire with you today!


IC Info Sharing
Chara has recently acquired a handy dandy notebook! With this tool in their arsenal, they intend to do what they do best- be completely invasive of other's privacy and stubbornly attempt to strong arm them into sharing all of their secrets.

Essentially, they'd like to catalog the abilities and skills people on the island have, with the intent of having this be public knowledge. With this, characters will be capable of locating others who may have the skills they need to get a job done, flesh out a party of adventurers, or beg for certain resources...such as clothes.

Rather than take up everyone's time with sixty plus threads of Chara getting this info, I have a handy dandy little textarea to fill out with what your character would be willing to divulge. Note that Chara will make it clear that this info will be public knowledge, and that when a network goes up, they have full intentions of putting it up there.


Sign Language sign ups!

It's been mentioned a couple of times that people would be interested in their characters learning or teaching sign language! So another handy little textarea below has some initial info to collect about that, after which I'll pop up a new thread for people to elect who they want to learn from/who they're already teaching!

As Laura has pointed out, this is also a cool opportunity for the variety of languages known to adopt a island specific pidgin- mingling together a bunch of knowledge to create something entirely new. All of this stuff has the opportunity to be handwaved or threaded out, so it's a nice opportunity for new or continuing CR!


And now, the textareas

Added! Note that Chara made the executive decision to mention his horse, and that she is not for farming.

Does your character have any prior knowledge?
He knows of sign language and probably knows maybe a handful of words/bits of the ASL alphabet but most of his knowledge would be like...military hand signals.

Would you like to have your character learn or teach?
Learn! Unless somebody wants to be taught military hand signals and get a horrible, conflicting mishmash of flailing???

Spellwise:
--Taako can transmute things into other things, with several limitations he would be cagey
about delineating IC.
--He can also make just like a Titanic-sinking amount of ice, and people could even watch that happen.
--Has a decent long-range attack spell that will /mostly/ hit and a crowd-control spell that
is only /kinda/ gross.
--He can Levitate things under 500lb, but not forever.
--can also do a lot of useless Prestidigitation, sparks, sounds, flavours, etc.

--Nonmagically, he can cook, and would gladly give cooking related 'advice.'
--really good at fishing!! someone should test that some day.
--he could try to teach magic but who even knows if that would work, that's someone else's world to build.
--he /has/ taught swimming, he /would/ teach surfing as soon as he takes it up again, which will probably happen.

Does your character have any prior knowledge?
He knows some thieves' cant. Probably not as much as Lup, after having it erased and reinstated and if there are food words it's mostly those

Would you like to have your character learn or teach?
He would agree to learn, but only after nerd-jock hybrid Lup punches him gently into it.

[tenthstreetbred]

What abilities/skills would your character be happy to provide as public knowledge?
Combat training and instruction, survival training, her biotic abilities, weaponry proficiency (most of it is with guns but she's got some melee stuff with knives and whatnot), linguistics, and front line trauma care.

[tenthstreetbred]

Does your character have any prior knowledge?
Nope! All she knows is military hand and arm signals.

Would you like to have your character learn or teach?
Learn!

Isabella knows a lot about nature, but she admits a lot of it is not bent towards survival. Biology and anatomy. She's also lived in the bush before, so has basic knowledge of camp chores (gathering things to burn, constructing temporary shelters, sewing, jury-rigging repairs). She also is good at art and filing.

She's immune to a few tropical diseases, which she got the hard way.

Roy is an accomplished fighter, has studied architecture and engineering, and has substantial experience leading adventuring parties.

Maridian can cook, make bandages, mine, cut jewels and gems, and also is the shield on which opponents break!

[ohnehalfte]

What abilities/skills would your character be happy to provide as public knowledge? Food rationing, cooking, approximate anatomical knowledge of some creatures and prior experience with dissection (useful for when trying to butcher an animal,) building stuff (mostly some basic grunt work but also can plan some basic stuff,) math, biology (plants and animal knowledge, though a little wonky with this place.)

Newt's been learning whatever it is that Tibia speaks, so ASL? But he's not great at it yet. He's got some basic signs but that's about it.

Would you like to have your character learn or teach?
Learn!

[ishotyouuu]

What abilities/skills would your character be happy to provide as public knowledge?
healing factor, field medicine, extensive combat skills (all manner of swordsmanship, marksmanship and martial arts), cooking and baking, poison testing and identification (he's developed a palate), hunting and survival skills.

Re: SIGN LANGUAGE

[ishotyouuu]

Does your character have any prior knowledge?
Exceptionally fluent in all forms of sign language, because he's just gotta be that OP in the linguistics department. Primarily uses ASL, though, which is what he's already taught his Cubone, Tibia.

Would you like to have your character learn or teach?
Teach!

LMAOOOO I DOUBT CHARA WOULD ACTUALLY ASK HIM

But the precious little that Asriel can offer consists mostly of basic fire magic and some gardening Pro Tipz^tm.

[stoleyoursweetroll]

What abilities/skills would your character be happy to provide as public knowledge?
- Basic survival training (setting up a tent, starting a fire, skinning a kill, that sort of thing)
- One-handed blade training
- Archery/hunting/fletching
- Tanning/leatherworking
- Mining/smelting/smithing
- Enchanting services
- Basic construction skills (Nordic or Argonian)

Note that she would stress very much that NONE OF THIS is pro bono.

[dontkillme]

Does your character have any prior knowledge?
ASL fingerspelling, maybe a dozen or so household words that could carry him through a basic conversation with a selectively mute human - words like "play" and "sorry" and the like, rather than Survival or Complex Deep Philosophy kinds of words.

Would you like to have your character learn or teach?
Learn!

[achievementhunter]

Crow's a robot, so that comes with certain robot perks such as enhanced strength and flexibility that can come in handy with tasks or defending oneself against threats in the wild, and can probably even see what the hell that thing running in the dark towards you is.

However, Crow is kind of sensitive to people knowing that he's a robot, especially humans, and will not take kindly to those that give him reason to believe that they're not worthy of this knowledge, or his help.

Does your character have any prior knowledge?
None at all!

Would you like to have your character learn or teach?
Learn, please.

[karabor]

What abilities/skills would your character be happy to provide as public knowledge?
Typical paladin skills: wielding the Light to smite her foes and protect the world and its people. The Light empowers attacks, shields users, and heals wounds. It's warm and welcoming, and should never be abused.

[karabor]

Does your character have any prior knowledge?
Yrel has absolutely no knowledge of any human or other race's sign language, only the draenei version. Draenei sign language is very different from any Earth sign language in that it works in tandem with a language entirely unlike English. The hand movements and placements will rarely be the same.

Would you like to have your character learn or teach?
Both would be fun. If more people are doing one over the other, I'll help balance everything.
