[caffish] Request for questions: Alien worldbuilding!

Mar 09, 2011 20:45

I know I have several excellent worldbuilding people on my friendslist, not just the one I've already been consulting, so I thought I might should throw open the gates for questions about a race of aliens I've (slowly!) been constructing ( Read more... )

What is their viewpoint towards terrestrial species/aliens?

How do they communicate with others? Are there translators of sorts?

There aren't translators per se, since most limbs can't read caffish writing (though 3-D imaging is very helpful in this regard) and caffish can't speak verbal languages. (Except maybe Morse code - they CAN squeak. Because I love my squeakers. :D)

There are, however, some fairly rudimentary machines that will make fairly awkward translations from caffish language(s) to terrestrial text and back. I think the caffish are the only aquatic sentient species in this universe, and they're kind of dubious about the Dessicated Things, and thus not all that motivated to improve said communications.

Y U ASK HARD THINGS?????????
(...The caffish economy is probably kind of weird, because they can't really carry things around. Well, they CAN, but not conveniently. No pockets. *cough* I will consider this at length!)

Also an easy question! THE ELECTRIC WHALES ARE NOT TAME. The caffish are armed and armored whenever they personally deal with them, and I'm pretty sure there are still some casualties from time to time because those things are freaking enormous and armor doesn't necessarily mean much when you are swallowed whole.
