《Writing POC 101》Malaysian Characters - @womanizerr_
Advertisement
I am going to talk about a Malay character in Malaysia especially, that's where I came from. So, in Malaysia we do have three major race, Malay, Chinese and Indian.
It's hard to tell how Malay looks like because nowadays a lot of Malay has been migrate to other country and get married there and get multiracial children.
For myself; I have tanned skin and slanted eyes. Just like an Indian with Chinese eyes.
But we do wear our traditional clothes, Baju Kurung for female and Baju Melayu for male, you can google it up late. Other races in Malaysia do wear Baju Kurung and Baju Melayu too but the majority is Malay.
Need to be added to account is that we don't the traditional clothes every single time. We do wear like normal people do. T-shirt and jeans.
Malays are typically portrayed to be a polite girl or boy, we are supposed to be polite but not all of us are polite.
We have our own food like Nasi Lemak, Teh Tarik, Laksa and it's all delicous. We eat all kind of food and of course we are searching for the HALAL one because we are Muslims. We do eat Chinese foods and Indian as well like Capati and Naan. Nyum nyum. We lived in diversity so yeah, we eat other races' foods too.
But Malays in the urban area nowadays are so hipster and only going to hipster cafe and take a hipster photos and post it on Instagram. hahaha
Yes, 99.99% Malays in Malaysia is a Muslims. They are a lot of people who is pious and follow the religion, But there is also the one that only Muslim by name.
We do celebrate Eid just like Christian celebrate Christmas.
Traditional parents will put their kids with traditional name, but nowadays parents tend to put up to four or five names! I mean like I do only have two name Hana Mustapa so yeah, that's what nowadays parents do. ha ha

Not all Malays are following the right path of Islam. Islam is perfect but Muslims are not. Nobody is perfect!
We are talking about the urban area and the rural one. If you come to Kuala Lumpur and you can say that the level of proficiency of speaking English is high or excellent. But if you go to somewhere rural like Kodiang, Kedah, their level of profieciency is low. Not all but mostly.
Citizen that live in the big city like can converse in English well. The education in the city is good than in the rural area because they hadn't have enough exposure to the education.
So you can write about a girl from the city and a boy from a village. (typical storyline in Malaysia soap opera)
In Malaysia, you need to finish the education until SPM (Malaysian Certificate of Education) if you want to further your study locally or abroad.
We mingle with all kind of races. There are some Malays who is racist yet there are some Chinese and Indians who are racists too!
And here in Malaysia, Malays has always been stereotype with 'lazy'. We are lazy, what?! No! Not all of us. Yes, they are some Malay who is very to go to work or study but obviously not all!
So that's all I think of, if there are one of you who wants to write about Malay character, you can DM me :)

8 204Cruxborne Legends
People play games everyday though the most hardcore gamer can be legendary. Markus has played video games since elementary school and competed in tournaments since his freshman year of high school, but when he is offered the chance to play as a beta tester for Reality Interactive's new VRMMO game Cruxborne Legends, he jumps straight in. When he logs in for the first time, Markus learns that things are not as they originally seemed and everything has a cost. Including lives. Cruxborne Legends is a Royal Road exclusive story set in the multiverse/universe of the Lord of Creation series and can be read independently of the main series. This series will feature a Anti-Hero protagonist, LGBTQ+ characters (and interactions), explicit content (skippable through spoilers in the chapters), and various story arcs pertaining to progression and potential escape/logging out of a digital world. This story may not be reproduced on any other site except for Royal Road and my Patreon by anyone else. This story is inspired by Viridian Gate Online by James Hunter, Rules-Free VRMMO Life by Stuart Grosse, Monstar Saga by Eden Redd, and New Era Online by Shemer Kuznits.
8 129Bound by Fate
A young orphan who defied his fate and fought his way to success and love, dies at the threshold of his happily everafter. Only to be offered a new life in a new world. He starts with everything he lacked in his past life but must still fight to keep it all. In a world where power is everything, where gods are real and scheming, devils and demons abound, where magic is just another branch of science and talking animals a pain to deal with, he is bound by his fate to defy fate. ---- Author's Note ---- Its the first time I am letting a story escape my head. I aim to intially release one chapter a week as I build my confidence and the story. When I get to a point where I am able to churn out a chapter regularly on the same day and time per week, then I will aim to eventually get to 2 chapters a week and then to 1 every other day. I hope I can learn to tell my stories well and put something up that's enjoyable.
