There has to be at least one.
>>98845934Sorry bro, thieflings are banned at my table
>>98845934Your image presupposes that being prejudice has no value? Do you have a atrophied amygdala or something? Someone not being prejudice is the historical anomaly.
>>98845955Stock image for the word "prejudice"
>>98845934Everyone hates fags (OP etc).
>>98845934Not at all. Every iota of bigotry in his soul is well earned and supported with peer-reviewed research.
>Character can and does casually sprinkle Hutt crime statistics into unrelated conversations with little to no promptingIt's not a prejudice if it's true.
>>98845934Not racist, just don't like them. Except human women. Actively hate them. If it's got tits but doesn't have a tail, it's a blight on the land. Tieflings are an exception because they have tits and tail but are still a blight on the land.
>>98845934My cyberpunk char's an exotic - basically like trannies today - who makes sure to drop the hard R in "clanker". Which has more teeth when there's actual tinskin chipheads running around.Totally not based on myself, natch.
>>98846210Yes it is.
>>98846210>Everyone looks at the Hutt crew member, who is nodding along in agreement
>>98845934>Not at all>not at all>Not at all>Depends on if they can be turned away and redeemed>Depends on the crime and if they can be redeemed>Not at all>Depends on if they use magic for evil>Depends on if they can be redeemed>Depends on the faithMy character is a Redemption Paladin of Bahamut, anyone who worships tiamat is one of the few people he's allowed to actually fight off the bat, but otherwise if someone can be turned from the path of evil he is bound by his oath to do so. And evil is about actions, not about immutable factors such as your species, just like IRL. So aside from you know, literal evil dragon god cultists and like super undead (liches et al) he doesn't have any.
>>98845934Currently playing a dwarf. He's actually really friendly and open-minded about most other races, but he really fucking hates other dwarves.
>>98846462>Prejudice: The act or state of holding unreasonable preconceived judgments or convictions.If something is entirely accurate and based in reason, how can it also be unreasonable?
>>98845934he thinks nogames like OP are sissy faggots and will rape him
>>98845934Forever gm so >tieflings aka cambions and demon blooded monsters Largely feared but lower tier demons or demon corrupted soldiers from the last large war still roam around as mercenaries (and scouts for the next one) and are going native a bit so are less outright kill more mistrust and keep an eye on, don't let them into the town in groups, don't let them marry anyone. >elves and drow Most humans are ignorant of the differences between different sorts of elves and their collapsed empire and would be unable to understand the metaphysical and political factions. Mistrust mixed with awe and a bit of resentment. >dwarves Not a cohesive race, there's a few different groupings of earth spirit sort of creatures, the buddha statue like ones of the east and moss covered ones in the deep forest but they're largely retreating from rising modernity and expanding empires. Many humans at this point have never seen one and wouldn't believe they exist. which is exactly what the dErO want>classismThere's a lot of turmoil with a rising middle class, increasing literacy, religious reformations and recovery from a long continent spanning war so the older feudal casts feature but there's more intermixing and a certain pragmatism at hand. >dark magics All magic is dark, but indispensable. Regular folk distrust all of it but still go to the hedge witch when mum's sick and the church is busy. Also still going to scapegoat the same witch if it come to it. >Orcs & goblins They're the aforementioned hell spawn mercenaries. >arcane spell casters No distinction between them and dark magic. Theological creeds of various sects and heresies are mixed into magical practitioners and alchemists. >barbarians Rather depends on the barbarians don't it? >faiths Recently post wars of religion, so its messy.
>>98845934>Dooooooooood my character is le heckin racist against fantasy gnomes n shieeeet!Decade old reddit idea of 'depth'
>>98846568Your definition is wrong. It's pre-judgement, particularly judging people based on categories rather than as individuals.
>>98848310>Nuh-uh, you need to use my special definition or I can't win this argumentGood thing I pre-judged you as being retarded and opted not to take this discussion seriously from the get-go.
>>98845934Ya can't trust any of them there 'venturers I tells you. Rabble-rousing thieves and murderers, the lot of them. Good folk can come from any race, so long as they aren't no damn 'venturer. >t. humble farmer
>>98845934>ElvesOur allies. Better than Baseline humans, inferior to us. We never say this though and we assume they hold the opposite view. If they didn't there would be something wrong with them.>Different social classesNo Baseline Peasant has ever held a correct opinion on any subject. Even if they say the correct words, they probably hold that opinion for the wrong reason. A Peasant saying something makes it a lie. The only context in which a Peasant can be correct is if he is delivering verbatim an opinion informed by his rightful Lord or the Church, or saying "Yes sir.">WitchesShould be killed out of hand.>CriminalsShould be killed out of hand.>Primitive hostile aliensShould be killed out of hand.>WizardsShould be killed out of hand.>BarbariansTurks are worse than aliens. The rest of the Auswelters are merely inferior because they are Baselines and their inferior language inhibits their ability to articulate complex ideas and have real emotions. If they all spoke Star German they would still be inferior but less so.>InfidelsWe're above such petty hatreds in these days, if I were a Mohammadean I would still be better than the best Christian Turk to have ever lived.
>>98845934My wizard understands the nature of the Positive and Negative forces at work that define true good and evil, so he annihilates anything that serves to increase the Negative because it is anathema to the well being of all life.
I have more than one character.
>>98845934My DnD character isn't prejudiced against other fantasy races, only against blacks.
>>98845934Playing as an elf who doesn't like other elves much. This comes from a religious schism that saw a number of elves stop worshipping the elven pantheon, and I'm one of those elves. He sees the elven faithful as stuck up while also having passed from the stage of history, meaning their arrogance is unearned.
>>98848965I mean same but I only have one that is relevant to OP's question. None of my other ones are Fantasy/D&D.I did play a Jackal in an AU halo setting once that was extremely racist towards grunts though. Like to the point as a marksman he would prioritize them over more valuable targets unless shit was hitting the fan.
>>98845934I'm a forever GM but I run a human-dominated setting that features a lot of racism, classism, sexism, so on. All the isms. And rape.
>>98849593Halo?As in, the space fantasy first-person-shooter?
>>98845971The irony being that he is blindfolded, so it represents the twisted modern "prejudice" of one wanting things to be meritocratic instead of assigned by racial distribution (DEI) this man is as blind as justice.It says that whoever made the image is aware on some level, that meritocracy would not be diverse.
>>98850158It's sci-fi.>WAHH IT ISNT HARD SCI FIIt's Sci-Fi. There's nothing magical about it. It's all tech.
>>98852324There doesn't have to be magic, with the loads of impossible and improbable aspects already present in it.Its tech is fantasy, its worlds are fantasy, its creatures are fantasy; none of it works in our own universe.Don't be a retard.
>>98852324FTL is magic, it's space fantasy.
>>98853759It isn't magic, but it's still impossible.
>>98853936that's just another way to say magic, the description may be technobabble rather than occult babble, but it still amounts to arbitrary ritual and arcane artifacts.
>>98854666>that's just another way to say magicNo, it isn't.Magic is a power that exists outside of a universe's natural cycle, whether supernatural or unnatural. Technology uses what's available from a universe's natural cycle.
>>98854695and FTL is outside of that you dipshit pseud bitch, fuck's sake.>supernatural>unnaturalthey mean the same fuckign thing moron, EVERYTHING that occurs within the confines of the laws of physics, is natural.
>Retard whining about FTLSomeone spray him down with faggot-b-gone already.
>>98854882respecting the actual limitations of physics opens up a nearly unexplored range of stories.Just swapping "city" for "planet" and "nation" for "star system" is lazy and retarded, you aren;t going to tell any stories that haven't already been told for a millenia at least.
>>98854909>you aren;t going to tell any stories that haven't already been told for a millenia at least.So?

>>98855889>I don't want science in my science fiction, I want a space aesthetic that my dumb bitch ass can mistakenly attribute to "science"
>>98856112Anon. I quoted the only part that I was replying to.I quoted you complaining that the story would be like every other story.I asked, then, what the problem is with it being like another story.I will now state that you would still get a story much like what's been done before. Because it's a story, & stories are about people. If you want it to just be about science, I welcome you to read or watch a Thesis paper or research report instead.No story about Humans will truely be much different than any other, no matter the technological level.Have I made my intentions clearer this time?
>>98845934None of these apply to my campaign except>different social classes Those from a higher class are clearly overprivileged assholes who deserve to be robbed and those from a lower class clearly lack ambition.>different faithsYou only need faith in urself, bby
>>98854869FTL is pretty much always achieved through technology in the works its featured in, so no, it doesn't exclusively exist outside of what's natural in those works.
>>98854909>storiesI'd rather play games.
>>98856140>stories story storiesThis board is for games.
>>98845934>Against Tieflings and DrowTieflings are fine, Drow are killed on sight.>Against Elves or DwarvesNothing against them.>Against people of different social classesHe doesn't like nobles, on account of all the politics. He's lowborn but has been raised to knighthood.>Against warlock and practitioners of dark magicThey are permitted to surrender and face trial.>Against criminals and roguesSee above.>Against Orcs and GoblinsUsually kill on sight.>Against arcane spellcastersHe doesn't trust them.>Against people of cultures (Barbarians etc)Depends. Members of evil cultures (eg. Thayans, etc) are likely to be mistrusted.>Against people of different faithsDepends. Followers of evil gods (eg. Bhaalites, etc) are likely to be attacked.
>>98856221it's not "technology" if you can't describe how it fucking works, and you can't because it doesn't fucking work.It's magic, you're getting confused by the pseud aesthetic it gets wrapped up in.
>>98856140And I quoted the meat of your statement, if you can't read between lines, that's on you.Dumb bitch.
>>98856359It doesn't matter if it can be described or not. If it's an application of what's natural to the work's universe, it's technology in that universe.Whether or not it's possible for our world is what determines if it's an impossible fantasy technology or plausible fictional technology.Magic is a power that exists outside of a universe's natural cycle, whether supernatural or unnatural, and is exclusively a fantasy concept, given such a thing is impossible in our world.
>>98856403>Whether or not it's possible for our world is what determines ifif it's space fantasy magic, or science fiction technology.Science fiction is not "anything with a pseud space aesthetic" it is fiction based on the laws of physics and their practical applications as deduced by the scientific method in the real world.I know shit like star wars and star trek have thoroughly confused the uneducated on what is and is not science fiction vs space fantasy, but that's a subjective failing, not an objective recategorization.
>>98845934>Against people of different social classesNo inherent distrust or prejudice.>Against criminals and roguesTreats with caution.>Against people of different faithsDepends on the faith.>Against Tieflings and Drow>Against Elves or Dwarves>Against Orcs and Goblins>Against people of cultures (Barbarians etc)May be prejudiced against depending on where in the world we are/they come from.>Against arcane spellcasters>Against warlock and practitioners of dark magicImmediate distrust (and righteous anger) against anybody doing anything even remotely related or adjacent to undeath.Otherwise, depends.
>>98845934>TieflingsHe is one. There's a bit of trust in that you can't trust 'em, peels and crosstraders the lot of em. >Against DrowBit on the prideful side compared to most primes.>Against warlock and practitioners of dark magicMost of 'em spellslingers a bit barmy>Against criminals and rogues Ain't never been a body for screedin', like to think m'self a right canny spiv, but I's just a knight'o the post the end of the day. >Against Orcs and Goblins's a right less scary a basher than a baatezu. Just keep a hand on your jink >Against arcane spellcastersAgain, all some manner of barmy. A body's gotta be a bit of an addle-cove to glean the dark of them shouts >Against people of different culturesEvery first day prime's a berk. Give a body a few and he'll get the dark of the Cage. >Against people of different faithsPowers's powers. All the same
>>98845934>Essentially what prejudices does your character hold? do the other characters pay their taxes?if the answer is yes, then they should go to jailif the answer is no, then they are a brotherall physical differences are immaterial, only the desire to avoid taxes matters
>>98845934Obligatory
>>98853759>>98854666>>98854869Actually the way halo does it is 100% backed by scientific theory. They aren't technically moving FTL, they're punching a hole in space in point A and opening another in point B. The folded paper method. Human ships do it very crudely while covenant ships can do it very smoothly. This is explained in several books.This method of travel has already been in scientific spaces for years, it's wormholes. More realistically, it's a refined version of what a black hole does, as it is theorized if you could somehow survive the event horizon of a black hole it would spit you out somewhere else, because matter cannot be created or destroyed so all the matter it consumes must go somewhere.Also, you're wrong about magic. Magic is just technology we don't yet understand. If I showed a peasant from the 1300s my cell phone they'd call it magic, when in reality it's just technology. Just because we in the modern day do not have FTL travel does not make it magic because our understanding of physics could well be flawed, or it could use a similar method to halo where it's not actual FTL travel but instead making wormholes from point A to point B.
>>98860982>they're punching a hole in space in point A and opening another in point B.slipspace is another dimension that they travel in, they don't teleport lol.
>>98860982>>98861009And slipspace or hole punching real space, doesn't matter which, is magical wish fulfilment.
