Question 1: What do you feel is an iconic language from fiction, fantasy, or science fiction and why?

I think I’ll have to agree with @robert with Klingon on this one. The fact that it could be argued to be a ‘real’ language speaks volumes for its impact.

Question 2: How do you feel about ‘Common’, ‘The Common Tongue’ or ‘Galactic Common’ being used as a language in games or fiction? Is it lazy now? Is it cliché? Or classic?

It’s not lazy, because it’s vague. Think of it this way, you write an RPG in a fantasy world, but you wrote the book in English, because that is your first language, but you want a worldwide audience? ‘Common’ can quickly become German, or French, or Swahili. It’s an easy way of making a game more welcoming to all.

Question 3: Do you listen to music while you hobby? If so, what do you listen to specifically for hobby? And if not, why?

I tend to either listen to music, or have some sound. Usually, it depends on my mood but I have a tendency for heavier music, but sometimes I change that up. Sometimes all I need is some background noise just so there is noise. I basically hate silence, long story short.
