Okay, so, prefacing this with a bit of context:
The game (let's just call it PLC) takes place in a fully-sealed
dyson shell that functions as its own planet. Because of the closed-circuit nature of the world, it's allowed for the development of true mathematical / scientific absolutes, and as a result the tech levels have skyrocketed. Like, no overpopulation, necessities are always available, the economy is largely recreational, on-the-fly materialized objects and food, etc. Eight intelligent species live in the world, and nationality / ethnicity as well as the concept of a hetereonormative majority have largely been phased out of the worldwide culture, and from a diversity standpoint the other species have just as many potential ethnicities as humans. Anyways, part of the high tech standards have all eight species speaking a single language but in different dialects and accents mostly boiling down to personal preference. Here's where my inquiry comes in.
One of the eight main characters (playable classes - think TF2) is part of an alien race similar to
Glacius, and has personally settled on a black voice. As far as his actual career, he's a cop who's made a good name for himself and has two children. In the story's present-day he's middle-aged, and as a result he's grown kind of bitter and aggressive because political corruption exists and that some people in the world are still trying to run hustles when the world provides them with just about everything they could ever need. Most crime here stems from recreation or wanting to bring other people down more than actual necessity. He's personally settled on his voice / cultural identity because he feels it's the right mix of intelligent, captivating and stern for his line of work, and his character on the surface acts a bit like Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction. Problem is, I really don't want him being introduced out of the gate as the "arbitrary angry black guy" that starts beating the shit out of the other players. So, I guess my question is how do I pitch the notion of a socioculturally-equivalent world that's free of a realized majority to
the same guys that made this thread an overly defensive war rather than a discussion?
