So in all it has been about a year since I last played, and now that I have time. I decided that it would be awesome to make my return. During the time that I have since the game and patches are downloading, I had begun to toss around the idea ofÂ the thought that I would come to remake my character, as I did some research I believed that maybe the idea of being an Au'Ra could work out. As I dived deeper into the lore my eyes rested on a certain tribe, The Qestir tribe. Due to the fact that they forsake the use of words since they hold the belief that all words are lies.I entertained the idea of maybe using this idea for my character. Normally since I role play a character that likes to trash talk others, this route seems to be a challenge for they will not be speaking. I wanted to throw the idea around of either using some form of hand signals or for her to carry around something that could be written on. If you all were considering this type of silent character, how would help your character to come to communicate with others?

There's some mixed views on this. Some roleplayers believe that having a Qestir utilize any form of language, verbal or nonverbal, goes against their lore as a tribe who communicates via their actions. Which leaves describing your intentions purely through gestures, emote actions, pointing, etc. Others take a more lenient view and say sign language and the written word is fine because Qestir lore focuses so much on the spoken word as opposed to other methods of communication. The three threads below I'd definitely recommend reading as they each go into these opinions on how to RP Qestir and many ways they can be emoted, communicate, etc.

- Qestir RPpers: how do you handle communication?
- Would this be annoying
- RP a silent character.

Hope this helps! ^^
