The Cultural Background Meme:
'
How does your character's cultural background effect their experience on the meatship? Their thought patterns? Has it led to any hilarious misunderstandings? Basically this is the meme where you expound on the culture your character came from.

If your character is from the 20th/21st century "first" world and not otherwise a cultural minority then expound on how they percieve the cultural backgrounds of other characters too.

Wheeee, Kuroi tl;dring at everyone! :D

Wyn is Irish and from an alternate universe where Ireland is still a part of the British Empire, which means that she's technically a member of an oppressed minority. This leads to some weird sentence structures, an inclination to distrust any English people she runs across, and not a whole lot of mourning for her world. She's also likely to support any smallish oppressed groups fighting for their independence, if the meatship happens across any civil wars.

Hunter is pretty much a Euromutt, although he's from the American South. He's in somewhat of a cultural minority, and he tries not to make it a big deal. (He's managed to shift his accent from small-town Georgian to bigger-city Georgian, although he hasn't lost it entirely and he tends to revert back during times of severe stress.) He's torn between being proud of his heritage and having one too many 'hick' comments thrown his way, which is one more thing that makes him more withdrawn.

Ava's family is from England originally, and she is privileged as hell. She's getting better about recognizing it (sloooooowly), but she does still tend to think that she's better than most people because her daddy had money. It hasn't quite sunk yet that none of that matters anymore, so... she can be a little insufferable sometimes.
