|
|
I want to introduce a Squib NPC character in my game. I know Squibs have a unique way of speaking and addressing each other like "His masterful Squib bargaining Eliteness." I was wondering if anyone knew of any books or materials that could help me brush up on my Squib talk? |

Think of fast-talk. Squibs generally overload people with information in a near unstoppable stream of speech, most of which won't even make much sense. Think of a ferret hyped up on crack cocaine and too much sugar and caffeine all at once.
"Hello illustrious jedi counselor talk-talk person with the huge headbraid and oooo what a lovely little droid you have so shiny and new and red I love red did I tell you my cousin who's the best speedway pod-builder in the Kerlon system absolutely loves the color red? he painted thirteen speeders different shades and styles of the color red and some of them people kept telling him were pink but "No way!" he said, they had to be red I've never seen a lightsaber before, I wonder if cousin Greeble would like a red one so anyway how much for the droid?" _________________ Ooo, a droid!

You've got some wonderful scenes of squibs dealing in the novel Tatooine Ghost. Grees, Sligh and Emala are a great squib trio always looking after a good deal. The actual speech is not that different, they just bombard you with options and complicated ways of bartering for goods, so that you loose track of how much you're gaining with a deal. |

What sourcebook/sourcebooks are squibs found in?
Edit: Never mind, I found a place to look thanks to the Rebel Roleplayers Alliance's database. I'm gonna go check them out in GG4 now. _________________ FLUFFY for President!!!!

They're my favorite aliens, which might be obvious. _________________ Ooo, a droid! Can I fix it?

Kinda realizing that now after seeing a picture of a Squib and realizing it was your avatar in black and white, RedFox.
From what I've been reading in this thread, on RRA, and in GG4, I'm pictureing that girl on The Cosby Show, Vanessa's friend who liked to talk at a thousand miles a minute. It was always funny to watch Cosby's face kinda drop whenever she talked cause she'd fit what would take a normal person ten to fifteen minutes to say into a minute or two and his character of Clif just couldn't keep up with what she was saying. _________________ FLUFFY for President!!!!
