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.

Oh also Abh tend to address each other by full names, which include family name and title/social position. So Lafiel is actually Abriel [family name, the royal family] Ne Dobrusc [of the Dobrusc line] Boeurh Paryunu [viscountess of Paryunu, "the country of roses"] Lafiel, Deca Commander [military rank, lit. commander of twenty, which is the crew of an Abh destroyer], Acting Empress [since she's the only living Abriel].

Obviously she's rather uncomfortable using people's first names and will avoid it whenever possible.
