'Languages Known' line in character creation template

[Ashin Varanin]

I saw someone add this line to their character profile, [member="Cheshire"] I think, and it made a ton of sense to me as a flavor thing. Everyone and their dog speaks Huttese in the Rim, for example. And there's a ton of SW languages that are fleshed out enough for at least marginal use. Shyriwook, Sith,Huttese, Mando'a, Vong, Rodian, Old Corellian, etc. People already use them, so why not nail it down and make it more visible? It could also give people ideas for strengths and weaknesses, like..

Strengths: linguist.
Or Weaknesses: doesn't understand Huttese, which causes problems in the Rim. Or just plain doesn't understand Basic, or whatever.

Basically, it's a whole lot more interesting than hair colour and I think new members would think it's cool.

But I love my hair colour!

Nice idea however, certainly would add a more interesting aspect to the reading of a bio. Strength and weaknesses give me the poos to write to be honest and this would aid a little for people like me that have no imagination.

Well I know what I'm adding to my bio next time I edit it.

 

[Fabula Caromed]

I've altered my bios so much that sometimes I forget what doesn't come standard...

 

[Ayme Katash]

Aye, great idea.

 

[Neroba The Hutt]

I'd love to see things like this implemented, and it would indeed be a Weakness for some characters. If you're a Smuggler, or Bounty Hunter or the Criminal type in general. Not being able to at least vaguely understand Huttese would put you at a deep disadvantage. Since in the Rim, most assuredly Hutt Space this language is likely more common than basic.

Almost like trying to find a job in Miami is very difficult if you can't at least somewhat understand Spanish

 

[KeCholo]

Great idea, makes a lot of sense

 

[Kaile Vera]

Yeah. I already have it added in mine since a while back.

Pretty much I just add more to the template that I feel is pertinent for the char. With Kaile being an embedded spy, added the languages she understands was a skill I wanted to emphasis.

Plus that guacamole and salsa man!

I'm cool either way if it is added or not.
