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.

Shadow was created on a space station not only to try to cure a deadly disease, but also to eradicate an alien race. Thanks to things going downhill, he has a humongous chip on his shoulder and isn't too fond of humans.

Irma's your typical modern day city girl. Seeing as her best friends fill out every basic trope there is (Will's the new girl/tomboy, Taranee's the shy yet smart girl, Cornelia's the rich, privileged girl and Hay Lin's the flighty eastern girl), Irma's firmly rooted in terra firma. She isn't afraid of getting snarky at anything or anyone (even if it's the Oracle of Kandrakar!)

Vivio's previous incarnation was known as the Saint Kaiser, ruler of an ancient Belkan civilization. Even though she was created from the Kaiser herself, Vivio REFUSES anyone to refer to her as royalty. Those days are long gone. She is Vivio Takamachi, the daughter of Nanoha Takamachi and Fate T. Harlaown, and nothing more.

I guess I should also talk about their worlds, too...!

Shadow's Earth is the same as ours, except that certain places are renamed, like New York City is Empire City and there's a version of San Fransisco as well (but, it's not Station Square). The only big difference in this world is that there are races of anthropomorphic animals running around (indeed, there was also an ancient race of Echindas), but the humans there pay it no mind. Heck, they don't even mind the appearance of loop-de-loops, rings, Chaos Emeralds, etc.

Irma's Earth is the same as all the other Earths. Nothing interesting here. It's never been mentioned where exactly the animated version of Heatherfield is located, but it's probably somewhere close to where beaches are (and it snows). There are other worlds Irma's been to, like Meridian (which is your typical medieval setting... but with monsters).

Not much is known about the kingdom Vivio's past incarnation once ruled and how they acted, though their magic was pretty impressive, yet very dangerous. I mean, look at the Saint's Cradle. As for Mid-Childa, it's pretty much your typical futuristic world, though they're very welcome of magic. Indeed, they probably have various cultures due to the fact that they're connected to hundreds and hundreds of worlds, Earth included.
