H-hokay wow. Some notes and then some questions!
First off, about Hiro's voice. During the show, Hiro primarily talks in pretty broken English, which I happen to find adorable, and the easiest way to hear his voice for me. So my plan! Hiro, during normal conversation, will speak in broken English, because he won't assume any of you guys know Japanese. He will, sometimes, mutter to himself in Japanese/say things he can't without the expectation of them being understood. Camp's translator will kick in for this kind of utterance, and I'll put them in italics. Hiro will eventually notice that these are being translated/omg everyone knows Japanese!!11! but will mostly stick to English in order to hone his skills and become like the Hiro of the future. So for serious/important stuff, he will switch to Japanese, but otherwise brokenish English, which should improve over time. His typed comments will be run through his translator, and appear in that style. I know my app had no broken English (just awkward translated English), so if anyone objects to my using a style I did not app with, please let me know.
In terms of Hiro's job! My hope (which might get topped by life) is that Hiro will do one blog style post every week, as he does on the NBC website. Whether or not I can actually stick to that, well, the posts will have the format of summary of important camp events/Hiro events, as in canon. BY COMMENTING TO ONE OF THESE POSTS, YOU ARE ENCOURAGING AUDIENCE TO POKE YOU. Hiro's posts will be directed at everyone, but aware of an audience and somewhat speaking to them. He will also respond, but I'd like for these posts to be ones where the audience knows they are welcome to talk to the characters and poke them at will. Audience is still politely requested to avoid triggery issues and things that the players don't want to deal with, and to not but in on obviously private threads that may emerge there, but regular interaction is hoped for and encouraged!
Let's see, last thing. Hiro is an otaku, obviously. His main otaku points seem to be video games and American comic books, although he also likes sci-fi, anime, and manga. He seems pretty well versed in dorkery from the blog. So this is a generic CAN HIRO RECOGNIZE YOU 8D thing. Additionally, I'd like to request what level of recognition is okay--Hiro is dorky enough to say "but what did you MEAN in issue #61 when you said "remember the platypus?!?!" and if you're okay with that I wouldn't mind playing with it, but I don't want to push emo buttons. Especially if you're okay with higher levels of canon-related poking, if you're willing to tell me the best way to get in touch with you (AIM, IRC, etc) while playing I would be forever greatful so that I can find out stuff if I don't know your canon.
Hokay? Hokay! Questions/comments on any and all of that welcome, and glad to be here!
