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.

Kazami Shiro was born and raised in 1950s Japan, right after World War II. As such, he's a little old fashioned, especially in his beliefs about women. He has a slight distaste for Americans, but he does his best to work around it and knows that most of them aren't the tremendous fucks that some Japanese believe them to be. On-ship, he tends to be slightly overprotective of women, and doesn't believe in talking about his weaknesses or any injuries, since it's 'makes him less of a man', which was how he was raised. He won't say it in those words, but...

Indigo's personality is entirely built around a single team of superheroes who believe in attacking the enemy before they get up to villainous shenanigans. The Outsiders didn't spend a lot of time rescuing kittens from trees, no.

Apollo is... Whew. Uh. Apollo was built to be Superman, pretty much. He was emotionally conditioned and trained to be the kind of square-jawed hero that people would look at and immediately obey. Then he got betrayed and spent five years on the run, viewing the absolute worst that the world had to offer. Then he joined a team that believed any problem could be handled if you hit it hard enough. Still, it's been said that if half the population didn't want to turn their backs to a wall near him, he'd be the world's greatest hero. He's friendly, he's kind, but. He'll also incinerate an enemy first and ask questions after he's annihilated everything involved with them. Betrayal isn't a good thing for him, either. He'll likely kill you just for that.
