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

IC Info Sharing
<b>What abilities/skills would your character be happy to provide as public knowledge?</b> (this includes, but is not limited to, magical or supernatural abilities, survival skills, battle prowess, weapons training, carpentry, baking, sewing, etc.)

Sign Language Sign Up
<b>Does your character have any prior knowledge?</b> (give a general outline of competancy.

Does your character have any prior knowledge?
She took an elective class very briefly back in whatever the Underground's educational system has as an equivalent to sophomore year of high school. That was like nine years ago and she remembers maybe five words of what she learned, so. Not exactly an expert, to say the least.

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

Does your character have any prior knowledge?
He has seen JSL on tv and picked it up here and there, he would say he's no good, but can surprisingly figure out what other people say when using it despite that.

Would you like to have your character learn or teach?
Learn, being prepared is important.

[hyperlit]

Does your character have any prior knowledge?
They are fluent! In general you can assume it's a fictionalized variant of something resembling ASL cause I don't wanna go around committing to inventing a whole new sign language from the ground up.

Would you like to have your character learn or teach?
They'd be happy to teach!

[catpiper]

Does your character have any prior knowledge?
None whatsoever. She will be The Worst Student.

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

[encircling]

Does your character have any prior knowledge?
Not even a little.

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

[alittleditty]

Does your character have any prior knowledge?
Nope, none at all. Even if she did it would probably be some kind of Eorzean variant.

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

[solperierat]

Does your character have any prior knowledge?
he's seen Amestrian military sign once or twice, but doesn't know any of it. He does have knowledge of morse code, however!

Would you like to have your character learn or teach?
t e a c h h i m, and I guess if anyone wants to learn morse he can be the most impatient teacher ever (what do you MEAN people need more than a few days studying to memorize an alphabet???)

[shatteredlenses]

Does your character have any prior knowledge?
Unless Crownsguard/Kingsglaive hand signals count, he has no applicable prior knowledge.

Would you like to have your character learn or teach?
Learn, though his blindness would require a teacher who is patient and willing to work outside of normal teaching methods. He's well aware of how difficult teaching him will be, so he won't push for it if no teacher is able/willing to take up the task.

[crosslaced]

Does your character have any prior knowledge?
nope

Would you like to have your character learn or teach?
Learn, but I prefer to have this handwaved!

Sans can speak in hands sign in ASL.

Would you like to have your character learn or teach?
Sans can teach, but he'd probably ask for a favor in return.

Re: SIGN LANGUAGE

[souris_keteer]

Does your character have any prior knowledge?
Nope, none at all. But he's a quick learner!

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

[thisisourfuture]

Does your character have any prior knowledge?
None. Whatever he knew before is hidden in that swiss cheese memory of his.

Would you like to have your character learn or teach?
He definitely would be a learner.

[caduceusoncall]

Does your character have any prior knowledge?
None!

Would you like to have your character learn or teach?
She would love to learn!

[hellawrath]

Does your character have any prior knowledge?
not really! she knows a little bit of thieves' cant, which is "a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves' guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run" so not really a proper language system.

Would you like to have your character learn or teach?
actual scientist Lup Adventurezone has been intellectually understimulated on this island and would like to learn like a nerd.

Re: SIGN LANGUAGE

[the_word_is]

Does your character have any prior knowledge? Fingerspelling and some basic signs, ASL but no grammar knowledge (uses American English grammar) and some signs she's developed herself.

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

oops

[scourgingstars]

Does your character have any prior knowledge?
He's probably aware of the concept, but didn't pick it up in any detail.

Would you like to have your character learn or teach?
learn, pls

[yallstupid]

Does your character have any prior knowledge? Not a goddamn fucking clue. 8D eeyyy

Would you like to have your character learn or teach? Yes!! But he will have to sort of be assed into following through at first, before he really gets into it.

[jinglejangle]

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???

[ohshitsweetflips]

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]

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!

[ohnehalfte]

Does your character have any prior knowledge?
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!

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!

[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!

[tomodachi]

Does your character have any prior knowledge?
nope

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