[quote=@Crimson Raven] So, question, because I like feedback. How does the lack of contracions in speech make the character sound? I.e. Formal, polite, weird ect. For example: "I'm sorry, but I can't do that." vs. "I am sorry, but I cannot do that." [/quote] As a rule of thumb taking out contractions almost always adds formality to anything. It makes your character sound formal, stoic, and almost 'regal' sometimes.
