Aife Posted February 23, 2015 Share #26 Posted February 23, 2015 Lacey is English. She sounds English in my head and I use a lot of English slang when I rp her. I've been told by my Canadian rp partner that Lacey acts a lot like a French-Canadian woman but I personally have no experience with such things since I'm Australian. Lacey is a name of French origins however so I suppose that would fit as well. I picked the last name Orwell since Lacey's father ran a Resistance Movement in her home country on the continent of Ilsabard against the Garlean Empire when she was a child and was a writer of social justice and democracy much like the real world George Orwell. tl;dr: English but may have accidentally may have made her French-Canadian (kind of).

ChewableMorphine Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share #27 Posted February 23, 2015 Who knew? I'm not the only one with Canadian inspirations! 8-) My Sea Wolves take a fair bit of inspiration from both Newfoundland and the maritime provinces, but primarily the Cape Breton areas of Nova Scotia. I have gone so far as make poor attempts to type out a Newfie accent for Iyrnahct, and slightly better attempts to type a watered down version for Klynzahr. For those of you who meet Iyrnahct on one of his rare RP outings and wonder why you can't understand a thing that he says, don't worry... it's mostly intentional. That would greatly explain why I can understand you near fluently Link to comment

Coatleque Posted February 23, 2015 Share #30 Posted February 23, 2015 Coatleque would certainly pass as Irish or Scottish with her pale skin, red hair, and green eyes. She speaks as a proper English lady, however. Link to comment

Aya Posted February 23, 2015 Share #32 Posted February 23, 2015 I guess I can elucidate some! Aya's origin is Scandanavian, or at least that's what it was intended to be. I originally imagined Highlander Hyur as Nordic. A warrior people from a land of cold and snow (albeit, without the ships). I've come to find that's probably not the case, especially given how dark skinned Highlanders tend to be, she really stands out with her pale skin and blonde hair (but.. that's what she is!) She's tall (5' 10", without heels), and rather athletic. Despite her cheerfulness and bubbliness there's a hint of potential menace to be seen in her form for anyone taking a close enough look beyond her body language. Culturally she's an adapter, a useful trait for a girl who spent most of her childhood as a refugee. She adopted Ishgardian culture as her own, and speaks with an obvious and undiminished Ishgardian accent, and carries the mannerisms and mystique of her adoptive home city. I suspect that native Ishgardians can tell her accent is not quite right, and would rightly assume that she's not native to the city, but others would find it very difficult to do so. She tried to blend in somewhat during her time in Gridania, but has intentionally continued to stick out in her Ishgardian manner in Ul'dah. Link to comment

Faye Posted February 24, 2015 Share #35 Posted February 24, 2015 Faye would be English, definitely. Only other alternative would be from the southern US, perhaps. Ahh, yes, she could very easily be a southern belle, sitting on her front porch in a poofy dress drinking iced tea with a sweetly sarcastic "bless you" as Papa threatens her latest caller with his shotgun...

Y'lani Posted February 24, 2015 Share #38 Posted February 24, 2015 Y'lani would without a doubt be Syrian. Many of her songs are inspired by Syrian folk music and her tribe's language is similar to Arabic, like English is to Spanish. In fact, the song Yal Asmar Ellon was my driving factor to make Y'lani. Feel free to have a listen! This choir's performance begins rather quiet at first, and then grows into a large crescendo later on, so... just a warning! _cc8Z29cbNk Link to comment
Smiling River Posted February 24, 2015 Share #39 Posted February 24, 2015 Indian, more specifically the northern regions most likely. Smiling River is heavily inspired by "Siddhartha" by Hermann Hesse after all. Link to comment

Aduu Avagnar Posted February 24, 2015 Share #45 Posted February 24, 2015 I've never really considered it, but I would probably have to say English! (specifically, Regency English, and upper class at that ) Link to comment

What about square dancing in gumboots? I want to translate your Newfie accent. CAN YOU NOT SAY THE LETTER H?! Actually the hard H is pronounced almost all of the time. The accent is closer to Northern Scottish than the Cockney that you might be thinking of, but still not quite the same. That would greatly explain why I can understand you near fluently I'sa wonderin' ifin thars ony couse'o m'player speakin' steada yers truly? .... of course true understanding hinges both on your ability to understand a Newfie accent and my ability to accurately type the beast.

Enzo Posted February 24, 2015 Share #49 Posted February 24, 2015 Enzo is somewhat a mix of a German and French I always imagined. Although he is rather flamboyant. Xefjord is somewhat a mix of Japanese, Scandinavian and stereotypical cocky nobility. Link to comment
Aerostein Posted February 24, 2015 Share #50 Posted February 24, 2015 Never thought about it to be honest. Maybe German. o: Link to comment
