accents

[Thorro]

Why do the various ultramarines have different regional accents to each other?

[The_Dipl0mat]

Probably because they grew on different planets or regional zones on said planets

[Thorro]

so the accent from their first few years of life remained set in stone for the next however many hundreds of years?

Seems to me that if you spent hundreds of years in a group of about 1000 battle brothers you all might end up speaking the same dialect.

And if you were to get multiple brothers from the same regional area/planet? Just seems like a fun way to add a bit more character to them

[Thorro]

Yeah, it's not going to work like that.

Details like that are gonna be immersion breaking for me.

If they wanted to do that they could have at least gone for marines from different chapters. Then for people who wanted more character to them they'd even have different colours on their armour.

They shouldn't have different accents.

Taken as children, made into space marines, they should have the same accents.

They are not recruited in their mid 20's like a real life army. What a joke.

[Abaddon]

Diversity.

Space Marines aren't 'always' taken as children, you know?

Thaddeus of the Blood Ravens for example was an adult (albeit a young adult), leading an entire undercity gang before they turned him into a marine.

Yes they are, 99.9999% are. A handful aren't. Nice try, but a fail nonetheless.

If you want to know what DEI is, look up CEI first?

99.99999999% isn't a 100% though is it? ¯\(°_o)/¯

Plus I mean, combining both a rare thing with Ultramarines to make them seem cool? That's a classic posterboy marine moment

[FaeBnuuy]

Cry about it, snowflakes.

[samwaaagh]

We have people with different accents by state or even city. Existing on an intergalactic scale, it's more of a stretch to assume they'd all even speak the same language...

Ultramar are huge man 500 planets, having many accent make sense unlike female custode
