Welcome to Forgotten Tales storybook character essence workshop! Here players can come together and discuss what storybook characters they are considering for their character's essence, their new potential abilities, and even ask for help if you can't think of anything on your own.
Here are some things to keep in mind:
- Workshop participation is required for Registration as this basically takes the place of the traditional application form, as well as posting to the Test Drive. You don't have to post together at the same time (you can do one first and then the other), but they are needed eventually.
- Participation in the Workshop does not guarantee a spot on either Claims or Registration, but you will need it to keep a Claim so there's no harm in trying early. Feel free to look over previous Workshops.
- Make sure to check the Character Roster and Essence List to see if your choices are not already taken.
- The character and essence don't necessarily have to perfectly match, and all characters will inherit characteristics and themes from that particular storybook character. You are free to be creative and take elements from related works and variations (like Disney), but try to keep it central to the original version. Refer to the Character section of the Game Info as a refresher on how essences and their abilities work.
- Storybook characters can be from any work of literary fiction such as fairy tales, folklore, fables, nursery rhymes, classics, plays, mythos, legends, etc. They can be well-known or obscure, and origins must pre-date the 1950s.
- Because the game currently doesn't allow duplicate essences, list your top preference and any others you're considering, but also be open for other suggestions. And if you see someone else list one you are considering, list it, anyway! Anyone could change their mind. Just don't be salty or badger anyone about their choice, otherwise it's an automatic boot out the door. The goal is to try to not only match the best essence to the character, but also one that people can have fun with.
- Although you can only register one character, you can workshop multiple in case you are having difficulties in deciding who to pick.
- Public Registration will open May 3, but anyone with an invite and current players can register at any time. Claims will open April 26.
If you have any further questions about this or anything in general, comment to the Mod Thread.
§ form.
If you're ready, just fill out the following form and discuss away! One character per comment.
Player: Player ID w/ contact
Character: Character looking to bring in
Canon: (and canon point)
Age: (of the character)
Bio Blurb: Instead of a full written history, please link a wiki page AND provide a 1-2 paragraph summary of the character's backstory. If no wiki page is available, that's okay; you're free to link a write-up if you have one or feel like making one. The summary is more of an "at a glance" to help those not familiar to get a basic idea of who the character is and what they were doing in their canon. If it helps, pretend you're writing a blurb for a CR Meme. What key important things about your character's history would you want to point out to others?
Personality Blurb: You are free to link to anything pre-written such as an app for another game, but for our purposes you must include a 1-2 paragraph blurb highlighting the main elements of the character's personality. If it helps, pick out up to 5 vices and 5 virtues that you'd associate with them and just toss in a few sentences about it. Again, you can pretend you're writing a blurb for a CR Meme.
Preferred Essence(s): Have one or a couple already in mind? List them here! Include reasons why you are thinking about that particular essence and how you would work it with the character.
Looking For: Open to other ideas? What kind of storybook character would you be interested in? Things you're not interested in should also be mentioned.
Appearance: Any notable features both for the character in general and any appearance or style changes you may be considering to match their essence.
Abilities: Whether you have an essence in mind or not, talk about what kind of abilities you're hoping to recreate or gain while in game. Any weapons that are going to be regained or explored? What abilities or weapons are lost? Skills?
Quirks: Are you interested in gaining any quirks of the storybook character? Or do you already have one already in mind? Need suggestions from your list? A reminder that the current limit is one.
Goal: What do you hope to do while in game? This could range from just having fun with the setting to exploring new aspects of the character because of the setting.
Extra: Anything else you'd like to ask or talk about. Can be about the essences or just general ideas of what you'd like to hopefully play out.
Questions: Any other questions you might have.

Kou Ichijo | Persona 4
Character: Kou Ichijo
Canon: Persona 4 / After Rank 7 of his side of the Social Link
Age: 16
Bio Blurb: (Wiki) Captain of the Basketball team the Protagonist goes to, Kou is a very cheerful guy who is devoted to his sports. He's best friends with the captain of the Soccer Team, Daisuke and they quickly befriend the Protagonist who joins the Basketball team. Kou, however, suffers from some family drama both Daisuke and the protag try to help him process. He's the (adopted) son of a very wealthy family, adopted to originally to inherit the Ichijo name. Despite not being the actual heir to the family anymore (his younger sister was born after he was adopted) he feels conflicted at being 'happy' about the freedom he held in his hands. He has just recently decided to find out what he can about his actual parents.
Personality Blurb: Carefree and happy, the kind of guy who will try to lighten the mood around him with jokes. He's social and many seem to be drawn to him. He, however, has his more serious sides, but he tends to bottle them up as well as he can and would rather not show everyone when he's feeling down. He hates losing and gets easily flustered when the topic of crushes and such get into play.
Preferred Essence(s): Cinderella
Looking For: Mostly help with finalizing his skills and stuff. Also open for any other Cinderella-like essences.
Appearance: His essence doesn't really change the way he looks like all that much, except he does have a more ~charming~ and ~beautiful~ atmosphere about him for some reason he's not even sure about.
Abilities: Kou is a man of no actual supernatural abilities, but he's pretty good at basketball.
As Cinderella he owns a pair of glass/golden slippers that only fit him, and whenever he puts the shoes on his outfit turns into a sparkling dress and he acquires the ability to turn whatever is suitable around him into a carriage (like a pumpkin). He can maintain this appearance until the next stroke of midnight or until he takes the shoes off.
Later on he will gain the ability to actually control what kind of an outfit he gets from the shoes - but it will always be a dress.
In addition he's able to talk with different animals - mostly birds and mice and he has a beautiful singing voice that he used to not have.
Quirks: He spends a lot of time dreaming away about things that could be - and sings variations of how his dreams might come true one day when he gets too into dreaming.
Goal: Mostly to have fun playing him and see what kind of shenanigans he gets into outside his own world. Also to embarrass him.
Extra: tl;dr He's a sport idiot but a good sports idiot.
Questions: nah
Re: Kou Ichijo | Persona 4
For some ideas, he could gain the ability to cook and clean well, considering Cinderella was forced to do them all.
Also when he transform back at the stroke of midnight, he always finds himself covered in cinders and soot.
Junpei's gonna be keen to meet another sports fan, even if it's one he's not super into! And Dojima...
Dojima's just gonna be confused... Kou why are you here.
no subject
Oh, that's a good one. Cinder and soot and very good at house chores. His house probably smaller than it was in some adaptations, but his room still looks like he sleeps in an attic or a basement....
no subject
Anyway, we had a Marinette interested in apping about a year ago, and back then we workshopped a bit of a superhero theme, with a few different power sets since in a few of the original versions Cinderella actually goes out to three different balls. So here are some options for you to pick and choose from for Kou's ability, either now or further down the line for campaign rewards.
