Oreva's Sign Language

Born deaf, Oreva has learned a smattering of signing abilities as she's grown older. All of them have failed her. Rangers, too simple. Thieves, too limited a user pool. And so she's taken to developing a language of her own, using more complicated signs than Rangers, and less subtle signs than Thieves, and teaches this system to people as they choose to sit and learn it with her.

Each lesson will upgrade your skill in conversation with her. You may use this system to decide how clearly you communicate.

Beginner—Directions, formalities, and not much else.

Novice—Able to converse in fragmented sentences. Basic ideas get across.

Adept—Comfortable conversations, but rife with misunderstandings, unknown words, and other troubles.

Skilled—Only missing complex concepts and descriptive abilities.

Master—Able to have complete conversations without any difficulties.

How to Sign: Quick ACT Scripts for Frontends

Please adapt these to your convenience. I encourage signers to come up with their own unique ways of signing to others that reflects their character!

STORMFRONT

This is the quick and dirty version.

Usage is: .sign [player] [message]

put act :%1 leans toward @ and makes a few obvious and complex hand signals.
put whisper %0

GENIE

This is the way-too-extra version, which logs the whisper as a unique "sign" to the Log window.

# debug 10
# Copy the following line to the command input before using this script!
# #trigger {^SIGN\: (\w+) (.*)} {#var SIGN_MESSAGE $2}
 
#
# Usage is: .sign [player] [message]
#
# [player] can be lowercase, but please use proper ending punctuation.
