For those of you that want a little more SW in your Roleplay

[Zannon]

Ok, I'm going to use this thread to act as a quick reference guide to terms, slang, and languages in the SW universe. As this site grows, we're all going to need to be more in-tune to the way things are said and done in the Star Wars universe...because people are going to start looking to us to enhance their SWG experience and make it...well...more Star Warsy. We should try to use SW slang terms in place of normal, english slang as much as possible...so that means I have to stop calling X'an a bitch in spatial chat (of course, /tells, guild, and Nocturnus chat is still fair game to call anyone anything you like...at least for the Nocturnus folk).

Neo-Rodese Dictionary v 1.3

Neo-Rodese is a dialect often spoken by Rodian emigres, colonists and adventurers in the Mid-Rim and the Outer Rim of the Galaxy. Neo-Rodese itself is not a pure language, but an organic ever-changing hybrid language spoken for the sake of convenience. The vocabulary is a complex mixture of traditional Rodian, Trade Huttese, and Human Basic.

Choobies! Choobies! Show me your choobies!

/runs away giggling

[Seret Sajet]

Ok Choobies is gentials but which genitals? All of 'em? For all I know Rodians have some sort of spikey tenticle thing down there.

(Sorry if this is gross. I'll delete it if someone finds it offensive)

[Jorhel]

(Sorry if this is gross. I'll delete it if someone finds it offensive)

Easy buddy. Stay out of our personal life.

"Emperor's Dualities, The
a slang term used by Halla for Palpatine's choobies."

[Dwilah]

Okay question: how do we find out what different species have what sort of genitals, and are these widely accepted fan ideals or are these things handed down from the Big Man?

Edit: I read Seret's post wrong. LOL. I thought he said "I know rodians have..." not, "for all I know"...anyway.

I imagine there's probably not any official word on this stuff. While the perverted and curious (like me) imagine that there's varied ways aliens have their genetalia arranged, along with courting and mating rituals, it's easier just to pretend it's all humanoid like the generic boobies in SWG for most some of the species. With, perhaps, the exception of like, the trandoshans (no boobs, they're lizards, so the guys would probably have lizardlike genetalia, concealed behind a slit) and then the Mon Cals...well, I've heard it theorized that they'd have spawning runs like salmon. Which makes me giggle.

Twi'leks and Zabraks have their interesting headgear which might make vaginal birthings difficult unless they're born with knobs on the zabraks and like, little tail nubs on the lekku...

...this reminds me, I need to pick up the species book.

[X'an Shin]

Twi'leks and Zabraks have their interesting headgear which might make vaginal birthings difficult unless they're born with knobs on the zabraks and like, little tail nubs on the lekku...

I'm pretty sure that Zabraks are born without horns and grow them like any other mammal does (elk, deer, etc.) at puberty. And I think they have to keep sharpening them, too, just like mammals do.

As far as genetalia goes, don't expect anything official from the Skywalker ranch anytime this lifetime.

[Seret Sajet]

So are the horns like a deer's horns where its actually dead hair? That would be interesting.

My guess is its the same with Twi'leks when they're born. They just have nubs and the tails grow over time.

My question is (and this game and movies show it) why do male Twil'eks have normal human ears while the females of the species just have those bumps? Kinda weird. For that matter why does Bib Fortuna have thos big head tumors in his forehead but no other SWG male twi'lek has them? He should get those looked at.

[Ekade]

Ok Choobies is gentials but which genitals? All of 'em? For all I know Rodians have some sort of spikey tenticle thing down there.

Only one way to find out.

*hands Zannon some chaps, points at Seret, and quickly runs out of the building*

[Zannon]

We're hung like bulls...end of discussion.

[Gaaralow]

Meaning it stinks and has horns?

[Zannon]

Meaning it stinks and has horns?

A BULL, not a Zabrak!!

I tend to think that lekku are present at birth.

Many sources describe them as prehensile, sensual organs that are also used in communication. Some sources make mention of memories being stored in lekku.

As far as the females lacking ears... I'm sorry, can you repeat that? I did not hear you.
