And given how much world hopping these fucks have done they've likely borrowed words so they likely have a hellish set of rules that is actually multiple sets and then over time we all Kendar said fuck it we're applying Southron plural rules to this word from like eight millennia and three worlds ago because WHATEVS.
yeah i can imagine the low kens being like english is but MUCH more fucked up because yeah millennia of existance as a culture . don't think high kens or "polite" kens in general would have changed much, relatively speaking, though because they are some rather stuck up assholes with more than a fair dose of Holier Than Thou and Racial Purity and the like. well that and the whole learning by rote thing. i mean look how they reacted to the "purity" of jame's senetha style, even though she lost the fight with briar rose. so i can see the different dialects of kens almost turning into separate languages with that much time to pick up loose grammar from that many worlds i can only imagine the nightmare of grammar rules low kens would have by this point. hell i don't even know all the rules for english, i just wing it and use a combo of spellcheck and google to make up for what i lack XD
Oh, no. High Kens is like French from France according to l'academie's mad plans. Only new words from Kens roots and such. We'll just make up new words if we really, TRULY must. WHICH WE DON'T FUCKING WANT TO. BUT IF WE HAVE TO. URGH. Though Women's World High Kens does have a lot of features that are unique to it I feel. Like due to being so shut off and developing their own written language they've likely drifted away from High Kens' standard. That's what isolation does to a language. Shit gets fucking weird or it doesn't get weird and acts like a sort of portal into a language that once was. Like how North Korean Korean is archaic compared to South Korean Korean. Arrin-ken meanwhile likely have their own incredibly different fucking thing going on. For a variety of reasons, but isolation is likely proving part of it. Also yes. Low Kens would be an absolute clusterfuck rules wise. Which is probably part of why it'd be such a neat language. It would definitely be one of those things you have to wing though! A lot of the time. As much as native English speaking Americans might bitch about people who speak it as a second language not knowing rules the truth is most of them don't know even half the rules themselves. Or if they do know them they are, like so many other language things, so deeply ingrained in your mind that you just can't articulate them. Even if you use them right. See people who can pronounce the present and past tenses of read properly. They probably can't tell me exactly what is happening or why and their explanation will likely end at "the tense changed" or "context". But they can do it right.
oooo good point. i could see it being a combination of both though. like the parts that aren't specific to the culture of the women's world would be SUPER archaic, but the stuff created to communicate women's world culture would be TOTALLY different than it would be read by the dudes speaking high kens. prolly coded as well, like some kind of kencyr cockney rhyming slang, because we've already seen how they hide communication in plain sight with the stitching language and the hand-pressure-speak exactly
Oh their shit is definitely coded. The Women's World has many secrets and they are weird about keeping them. Even if a lot of them are stupid they're theirs and that's what's important. Locking women up doesn't stop them from using language. It just gives them new and exciting ways to make secret ones. Also new and exciting ways to situationally gay.
so they're chatting and the menfolk are like oh those silly women talking about silly dumb girl things. oh look one tried to make a funny about chickens. and actually it is about a plot to murder some lord's son who happens to be in the room as we speak.
btw do you have a link to this? or is it only in meatspace? like the ruleset or something, i saw the character sheets you made
Here's the setting and rule book thing. Also the character sheets. It's not done yet though so keep that in mind.
I am also trying to get a game of it set up. We have three players already. If you're interested. Will be played over discord.
Ooo! thanks :D i'll have a look over it and see if i can come up with a character and go from there being incomplete isn't a problem, im a rather large fan of GTRBG and its incomplete too
Alright. Feel free to ask me questions if you need. Also if you're ibterested in joining our thing I will say that character creation happens in a group. Its part of play basically. Though like ideas and such are cool beans. Like rough concepts and such.
Heres the link to the thread by the way: https://kintsugi.seebs.net/threads/does-anyone-want-to-kungfu-an-uproar-in-heaven.4934/ My discord is Aondeug#5499. Youve got time. We cant play till the 4th at the earliest.
oh well i tend to make an initial mock-up character as part of learning the rules. like not one im attached to but a way to functionally learn what im supposed to be doing so i don't fuck it up or slow anyone down during group-time but i'll keep that in mind for any character ideas im attached to :]
did i ever mention that i decided that animal names in kens are based on the sounds that they make so like ducks are totally called like kuacs or something fear the dread kuacan
Rawneth's name meanwhile is the word for swan. The first bit is their honking. The second is the hissing sound they make. It's fitting for HOW FUCKING EVIL SHE IS.
after a certain number of worlds you just stop giving a fuck about fancy names for all the flora and fauna and go for something simple instead
Exactly. What the fuck is this piece of shit people ride on bro. Yo it makes like a stupid whinnnnnny noise mlord. WHINNO BRO. YEAAAH. This ones smart and it shapeshifts. WHINNO LORD YEAAAAAAH. Now lets skin some barbarians and drink the tears of our sons whipping boys myes.
AAAAAAA I FINISHED BOOK SIX AAAAAAAAA he kicked her in the head and it was cute and the cat and ran were like omg they're gonna fuck if we don't stop this and she was like TORI :D AND SHE'S MARRIED TO PRID AND KISSED HER FAMILY GOOD BYE AFTER BASHING HER FACE INTO THE HEARTH WHILE HUNGOVER
