Workshop #6: September 2020—
§ instructions.
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. REMINDER: We are NOT a memloss or AU game! The only things that are being altered are the character's abilities and maybe gain a small personality quirk, but that's all.
Here are some things to keep in mind:
If you have any further questions about this or anything in general, comment to the Mod Thread. We also have a Discord to temporarily meet current members and get further help!
§ form.
If you're ready, just fill out the following form and discuss away! One character per comment.
Post away and go buzz about everyone else!

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. REMINDER: We are NOT a memloss or AU game! The only things that are being altered are the character's abilities and maybe gain a small personality quirk, but that's all.
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 is closed until further notice, but anyone with an invite and current players can register at any time.
If you have any further questions about this or anything in general, comment to the Mod Thread. We also have a Discord to temporarily meet current members and get further help!
§ 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.

In all seriousness, I so wanna see Akechi's reaction to Ren having Robin Hood as his essence. Especially if that gets Ren teased/crap for it. XD
no subject
Also no worries, he'd tease you no matter what you'd do, Amamiya. You make Robin Hood look so uncool.
Also the evil person in me is now considering Nyarlathotep as a possible power, woops.no subject
Oh please. If Akechi had gotten Arsene, he would be the one looking uncool. Plus he totally couldn't pull off thigh high boots.
Oh gods Nyarlathotep. I've seen walkthroughs of both Persona 2 Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment. That guy is bad news.no subject
Right like P5's plot and characters are very inspired by P2 right down to bringing in Nuclear spells again.no subject
Not that Ren would mind that much. He has max charm after all so of course he would have even guys fall for him.That and bringing back talking to shadows to recruit them.no subject
He definately might.
God P5 has so many little things like Ann like Lisa, Ryuji with some of Eikichi but has P1's Mark Chariot arcana and sidekickness, Jun and Akechi with daddy issues, Nyarly and Philemon's bet on humanity like Yaldy and Igor's...I'm so glad they simplified the talking to shadows tho it was such a pain in P1 and P2 (bla bla I'm sorry P2 dualogy are my favorites in the series in terms of storyline, althought P5 beats them out of the water in nearly everything else so)
I might just go with The Shadow anyway because Akechi laughing at one place and it sounding somewhere else is something he would love. Plus he can wear a scarf and a large hat and also dispense JUSTICE. Also how dangerous is it to give Akechi telepathic and telekinesis abilities in the long run? Very.
no subject
He totally does, let's be honest.
Also Ryuji has some of P4's Kanji too, at least in terms of appearance. Yeah that did look like a total pain. Especially since I've only played Persona 4 vanilla and Persona 3 FES (didn't manage to finish that one as my PS2 Slim broke before I could), so that would be hard for me to adjust to.
Hoo boy. That's gonna be both terrifying and fun to see.
no subject
Okay maybe a little boner
God it's all true. Honestly Read the P1 manga, watching an LP of P2 is the way to go for most people. Randomized encounters are a pain. Most don't go for the Jun romance tho even if it's pretty much canon. Let me date a boy again, Atlus.
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows! He can see that you totally ate someone's lunch one time.
You nearly damn perfect attic trash, you.no subject
I've seen a walkthrough of the P1 remake but I would be willing to read the manga too. Seriously. I am still mad they cut out the ability to date Yosuke in P4.
Sometimes he needs to do what he can to survive, okay? With his record and all.
no subject
Manga so good the P1 writer and artist said it's better than the game. Also where Naoya and Kazuya names come from!
also lmao god right anyway
Honestly tho depending on how to play him he'd probably get a kick of finding out Ren almost or did date his teacher lmao. Scandalous! (also not jelly)
no subject
I'll have to check it out when I get a chance. Gotta love that old 90s' manga style art.Almost since I'm not comfortable with him dating the adults. I know power fantasy and some view him as themselves rather than the character, but no. Just no. Also not big on the Ren x Futuba ship as I view them as siblings but otherwise I'm pretty open with shipping with Ren.
no subject
I always tell people to skip the game and just read the manga lolHaha that's very understandable, considering everything. I feel the same about Futaba.
Now I just have to figure out if I go for Shadow or Nyarly. I might save Nyarly for like, Jun...
no subject
The PS1 cutscenes in the PSP remake are nice at least.Oh gosh that would be super evil to give that to Jun. Poor guy gets too much crap.
