Lambda OOC Decoder Ring
Jan. 26th, 2014 10:11 amHello, friends! One of the main conceits about Lambda is that he does not have the ability to speak human language and, without his telepathy skill, he has no means of communicating in his natural way. This does have a canonical basis: he is nonverbal in all of his flashbacks, even when he has his telepathy (I'll talk more about this once he regains the skill— it's not important now).
Anyway! The problem with playing this in Aather is that I worry people are going to feel OOCly off-balance as well as IC-ly off-balance from persistent non-verbal lineface. So! Instead of a one-time question meme (though I imagine I'll be doing one of those at some point, too), I want a more permanent space where someone threading with Lambda can go WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED if they so choose.
Obviously, this information should not be used ICly; I'm deliberately avoiding "what he's actually feeling" in threads for that reason. In this state, he's supposed to be hard to understand, whether that makes your character feel protective or violently angry or annoyed or completely apathetic. But because I don't imagine it's easy to take a one-size-fits-all "I promise you are having an impact on his character development," I wanted to make this available as well.
This post will remain open and available for anyone who wants it until he regains a more normal way of communicating. Please link any thread/comment you want to ask about!
