Lord of Altera
So lately there has been a lot of talk (throughout various threads) about RP situations currently. This thread will address the issue of "weirdos" (Earthspawn, Nakam, Greylings, Caparii, (possibly Syrie) in Altera, more specifically PS.
Currently if the average Altera joe sees an Earthspawn growling at him, or even just stand there, in Port Silver, there reaction might be something along the lines of "Uhm...hello?" Now this is understandable for our modern culture of acceptance, but in medieval times, the period in which Hollowworld is roughly based off of, they were not NEARLY as accepting. They drowned people they THOUGHT were witches, imagine what they would have done to hulking green people! So next time you see an Earthspawn in Port Silver, or anywhere for that matter, I challenge you to be more frightened. Maybe say something along that lines of "*gasp* Wha...wha.....AHHHHH *screams* Sweet mother of Harateth HELP me!" Now that may be a little extreme but you get the idea.
Although I don't know too much about Nakam I know they are furry cat-like people. Now seeing a furry cat-like person in Altera is only slightly less terrifying then seeing one in real life. So...be terrified! They are even rarer then Earthspawn, and have fur! Ignorance! Ignorance is key to RPing in Altera with weirdos.
Although not yet verified by Fitz, Greylings are pretty much hundreds of Smeeguls. Yep, they are that creepy. The real threat is that the will betray you! When RPing with a grayling just keep this in mind
)
We have all compared Caparii to are favorite The Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe character, you know you have. They can sometimes be lovable, surly. But first time viewers of these creatures will be terrified.
Keep in mind, there is exceptions to EVERY rule I just stated. Some people will simply be fascinated by these races, others will have grown up around them. But one thing to ALWAYS remember, and I can't stress this enough. Ignorance is a tool to live by in Altera!
Ignorance: Lack of knowledge or understanding.

I don't know much about Syrie so I'll skip them rather than telling you a lie (and getting Abbey mad at me
