trying to figure out character voices for my ocs and I think the one I have the clearest picture of rn is taituk. they speak…not quite stiffly maybe but definitely a tad formal. more connective words & full sentences than most people use when speaking. they’ve got the admirable habit of just letting silence fall until they’ve thought of the right thing to say, very little uhming or use of other filler words. they tend to be overly specific rather than vague—e.g., instead of saying something is rare or common, they might try to give a numeric indication of how rare or common it is. they talk quite slowly and quietly, but can make themself heard if so desired. absolutely hate shouting. they prefer to speak calmly, and if they’re in an emotional situation they will wait to compose themself until they know their voice will be level. because of this they can seem emotionless to the untrained eye, but they’re just good at hiding/repressing them lol
#oc rambles#oc tag#taituk#to a certain degree it’s their desire to be taken seriously#bc of the leadership position & big responsibility since a pretty young age (being the captain of a pirate crew & the main provider for#their family since what was it twenty?)#but also just. naturally speaking like that bc autism lol#elli rambles#the birates#wind in the sails#the ‘hates shouting’ part is what makes them absolutely Terrifying when they’re mad#sb idk says something horrible and they just. fall silent. lowly but encunciated very clearly ‘what did you say?’#first person promptly shits their pants#they speak even slower when they’re emotional I think. whichever way around#angry sad happy whatever#I’ve got one scene (which you guessed it I haven’t written yet lol) in which hira & taituk get drunk together and hira—never having seen#taituk drunk before bc they. rarely drink lmao—just spends half the scene marvelling at how laid-back taituk gets#they talk less formally ofc. they’re just content and lazy & open with their thoughts and emotions#syrupy is the best way I can describe it#love that scene actually. hira & taituk just lying on the floor next to each other spilling their hearts. having philosophical discussions.#braiding each others hair & lying in each other’s laps. kissing for the first time. etc#anyway#was gone rb this with a bit about sita’s character voice but I uh. probably need to go to sleep lol
