Can Florans go through Speech/Accent Theraphy?

Hey everyone. I'm going to be bringing in a Floran sometime later, and I wanted to see people's thoughts regarding the Floran's hiss. I am not sure whether or not it is just the way their vocals work, or if it is truly just an accent.

If it truly is just an accent then she would likely have not learned how to 'hiss' then as she had never encountered a Floran in the first place, or at the very least if she did they would try to put her through accent therapy.

Edit: I was trying not to spoil everything, but if you all decide to call me unoriginal I'll go ahead and release the data.

The entire point of the character is a cultural analysis for how a floran would function if taken out of their originally intended environment, and placed into a direct slave-like position while hearing only mere murmurs of the savagery of their race behind closed walls.

As far as the character knows, has never met a floran, and recalls nothing of her real culture, thus, who she really is. She might've been "raised" by humans but that doesn't mean she likes them, nor does she want to be like them.

So she seeks out her own kind to find out exactly who they are, and figure out what their lives are like--their beliefs, their culture, and see if it helps her ge a better understanding of herself, or perhaps find out that she is nothing like them at all. Not quite human, not quite floran. It all depends on what happens in the roleplay, and how the community interacts with her as a whole.

If you still find that dull then to each their own, I personally I find it fascinating.

Plus, I don't think we want to all play carbon-copy florans. I'm sure we can all stand and agree that there should be more to florans than simply obsessing over meat, and killing things.

 

Oh, pardon me I meant sprout. Other than that there is no lore specifying whether they do, or don't.

I never said that she would be exactly like a human. I didn't want to specify the entire details of the character for spoiler reasons, but I suppose if you are going to jump out gun-ho and call it dull, and unrealistic I'd better elaborate.

As for this, I was asking specifically whether or not it was possible for a floran to speak as a human, or any of the other races do. This is enough evidence to say that it is indeed possible. I don't find it as bad writing at all, but instead an opportunity to explore the way that florans really tick. If you recall there has been hints at florans beginning to question their previous generation's actions.

Plus, that floran at the outpost seems fairly sophisticated as-well, giving away that florans don't have to be simply communicate by stabbing everyone.

After-all, we're only basing our knowledge on a small number of paragraphs. Speculation is inevitable, and headcanons should be embraced, elaborated, and explored.

 

Ahh, I see what you're getting at.

What I had originally intended was for her to actually have exactly that, but her being a slave within "high society" they wouldn't allow such "savage" tongue. Thus, they forcing her to get rid of it somewhat against her will. Speaking "normally" eventually became a habit. She never really understood why it was "bad", or "wrong" to speak that way. So when she finds her own kind it would be eye opening for her.

 

Thank you for your support, but I am unfortunately unable to roleplay British accents properly. I have already been playing her for some time now(You might know her as P. Calla Cantabella). I decided to give her a very elegant, and sophisticated speech pattern to give a very clear, and different voice amongst the rugged space folk.

In addition, I actually like her eyes being black onyx orbs. I feel it would take away from her "value" if they were to take it away, but I did make her albino.

​

Replacing one thing such as the eyes, or removing the lisp does not warrant "just being a human". It adds character if there is a method to such additions or subtractions.

If you are talking about the Floran hiss specifically, or the fact that they won't be a mindless, savage meat scraper then I am merely going to point you in the direction of the Floran in the outpost whom appears to be highly cultured, lacks a hiss, and shows absolutely no hostile behavior. In-fact, she asks for you to bring her coffee, and get her something as beautiful as a bug.

Not all Florans are savage.
Not all Glitches are knightly
Not all Novakid lose interest quickly, nor are all of them western.
Not all Apex are smart
Not all Avians are religious.

That is all I have to say on the matter.

 

Again, you are implying that Florans are all savage, which clearly they aren't as is evidenced by the floran at the outpost. What you saying is precisely the same as forcing a stereotype onto other people(IE: All Asian characters have to be good at math, all black characters can jump but can't swim, etc).

The living mind for all creatures is variant, and the universe is a massive place. You cannot observe what is going on within it at all times, so saying that one thing is exactly the same everywhere is completely false.

You flatter me, thank you u//v//u~

 

She has, and she is(ironically the first Floran she met was also civilized, but she met a "normal" Floran just the other day). In addition she is suffering through the possibility of entering a place that she is not entirely certain is safe, or stay in a safe location on Kero Kero where a friend has specifically told her to stay as it was the "safest place she knew".

She is not only unfamiliar with Floran culture, but the culture within space as well, making her incredibly wary, yet equally gullible to even the most basic of tricks(until experienced).
