Workshop #6: September 2020
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.

Maron Kusakabe | Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne
Character: Maron Kusakabe
Canon: Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, prrrrobably after Fin reveals herself as working for (spoiler).
Age: 16
Bio Blurb: (optional: Wiki.)
Personality Blurb: A happy go lucky, outgoing rhythmic gymnast who, despite all appearances, is afraid to open up to people and afraid to love people. Otherwise she's friendly, willing to help her friends, but talking to people one on one and confiding in them is Hard. Please don't make her do that (or do, because she needs to learn, damn it.)
She's also the reincarnation of Jeanne d'Arc, who was a reincarnation of someone else that's a huge spoiler. :)
Preferred Essence(s): Astraea, the Celestial Virgin but if anyone else has suggestions, I'm open to them! Astraea ticks the boxes of being a badass but also the pure virgin - as in the manga (and I think somewhere in the anime) it's mentioned that Maron's abilities ties into her being a virgin, since Jeanne was one when she was burned at the stake. Losing that would mean no more powers.
Looking For: If there's more suggestions, anything that ticks a box of badass but someone who has a limitless well of love bottled up.
Appearance: If she's able to turn into Jeanne, her magical girl uniform may change to something more... Greek Goddess-like! Otherwise open to ideas on this one too, but otherwise, here is a good visual of the two. Jeanne on the left, Maron on the right. There's also a tumblr with a big ol' tag full of art for her, both anime and manga!
Abilities: Her wiki covers her abilities, but for ease:
"As Maron, she boasts of incredible flexibility and agility due to the fact that she is on her schools rythmic gymnastics teams.
She is easily able to hop and climb over fences as well as run quickly when the time comes. She is talented at baton twirling, as shown in her gymnastics competition. As Jeanne, she boasts of more abilities, as well as enchanced flexibility and agility.
As well as this, she also possesses several very useful items.
1st Rosary: This rosary enabled her to become Jeanne by infusing it with Finn's magic. Following this, she transforms into Jeanne.
2nd Rosary: After Finn leaves, Maron recieves her second rosary in which she can become Jeanne on her own without Finn's help.
Rythmic Gymnastics Ribbon: Not the one Maron uses at school, but the weapon she uses after she recieves her second rosary. In order to defeat demons, she unleases the ribbon and ties up the enemy and by saying "Checkmate!" she is able to defeat them.
Angel's Feather: This is Maron's protection. This is what Maron's 2nd rosary originally was. By using this, Maron was able to transform the feather into the rosary to become Jeanne.
Chess Pieces: Maron uses these to seal away the demons when Finn was still with her. By collecting these, she was able to safely seal away the Devil's power."
As I'm not taking her from the anime (though I have anime icons I think, I don't remember it's been so long oh god) I don't have her anime-only abilities here.
Quirks: Uhhh I can't think of any, but hey, if there's any suggestions I am Here for them.
Goal: I love playing Maron in a setting where she can gain new friends and maybe come out of her distrust of FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS, so that's what I'm hoping for mainly, here.
Extra:
Questions: Nope!
