—Player Intros: October 2020—

Hey guys, and welcome to forgottentales's Player Introduction post for public registrations! Thanks to everyone who has joined so far, and looking forward for those who may come later.

To keep the OOC spam to a minimum, everyone can use this post to say hello and introduce themselves, and for current players to greet them, especially as public registration goes on! Be sure to include your name, what character(s) your bringing, their essences, a little about themselves, and share your contact if you'd like! To help jumpstart plotting, please include things you'd be interested in doing while in the game. We'll have a formal intro log posted once the registration period ends, but we also have the Commission Board with tasks that last throughout the entire Break.

We hope you enjoy your time in our little game, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask us! We also recommend joining our Discord server.

Hello, this is Nikil and a newbie here. I'm bringing in Ren Amamiya aka Joker from Persona 5. Mainly from the true ending in the Royal version.

His essence is Robin Hood, which is ironic considering that's Akechi's persona.

Anyway, I am hoping to have some fun with him, and get him into all sorts of trouble like maybe say get him poisoned by Adachi?. Especially with his usual bad luck.

Hello, Nikil! Welcome to the game. I'm Mary, and I right now I just play Wembley here, from the Jim Henson series Fraggle Rock, but I'm also working on bringing in Disney's Rapunzel.

I'm definitely excited to see Ren in the game, and I hope you have fun here!

[schrodingers_joker]

I remember growing up on the Muppets though I don't think I ever saw Fraggle Rock. Kermit was and still is my favorite. Rapunzel is fun though I really outta sit down and watch the movie in full (I've only seen it in bits and pieces, including the ending).

[forachange]

Fraggle Rock was an HBO series, so I don't think it was as widely seen as say, The Muppet Show. And I will definitely agree that watching all of Tangled is a good idea. Very sweet movie!

Hi my name is Batty. I'm new here and I'll be bringing Edelgard from Fire Emblem: Three houses! Her essence is Hikoboshi (Altair) from the Tanabata myth and hopefully that'll make this ice queen a little more personable.

I look forward to her (reluctantly) making friends and loosening up.

Hello and welcome Nikil! I'm Taisa, helper mod and playing Kazuma Asougi from Dai Gyakuten Saiban here! He's got the essence of Dr. Jeykll&Mr. Hyde, so you can imagine how things go for him. The Hyde side of him actually opened a tavern with an underground fighting arena, which...I feel Ren might find useful.

[chippedsoul]

Hello and welcome to the reluctant friend making club! I'm Taisa, helper mod and playing Kazuma Asougi from Dai Gyakuten Saiban here. His essence is Dr. Jekyll&Mr. Hyde, and he's been here long enough that his appearance has changed a lot as Hyde. I think it would probably be reminiscent to Edelgard, so I look forward to seeing how things go when they meet.

[schrodingers_joker]

I really should get back into watching that translated walkthrough of the first game. I've already watched walkthroughs of most Ace Attorney games and some episodes of the anime.

Oh for sure and I could see Ren making friends, or at least get along well enough with Hyde. After all, one of his confidants is an ex-yakuza. And it would help him get used to fighting with a bow and arrow, and eventually a sword. He's more used to fighting with a knife and a hand gun.

Hey there, it's Laena (Rokurou, Shizuo) dropping one character to bring in two more. ...I think I did this wrong. Anyway, I've dropped Eustace to bring in Eugene from Tangled and Helios (helisyon) from Sailor Moon.

Eugene's essence is the Magic Mirror from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and that's going to be a lot of fun I think. Especially with who the Evil Queen is /cough. Not only will he be able to turn into a mirror, but he can also conjure mirrors, travel through them, have fun with reflections, and even create bladed weapons made of mirror glass. Which will improve over time. I also plan to have him be able to see the reflections of people, possibly seeing the truth of things, and kind of be able to look through mirrors like a network, but that's down the road and with player permission. Otherwise, although a former thief he's a nice, fun guy who is head over heels in love with Rapunzel. I look forward to just getting into silly shenanigans and maybe have him deal with past stuff because that's always fun. His quirk is reflecting gestures when getting into a heated, emotional discussion. Also, if anyone asks who the fairest of them all is, he will either say Rapunzel or himself. (Or if we get someone with the Snow White essence, that person.) Though he may flatter someone if they're nice—

Helios's essence is Merlin from the Arthurian legends. Although he looks somewhere between 12-15, he's actually ancient old as he has protected the Earth for millennia. Alas, he is no longer connected to Elysion so he'll be a bit sad but he'll be happy knowing he's doing something to protect his beloved home and people. Helios is what I would call a priest class, so now he's switching to a mage class and needing to learn all the magic spells that go with it. He'll also be able to transform into animals, though he'll favor his usual Pegasus form. He'll be able to do some healing and purification, and over time be able to enter dreams and have small prophetic glimpses. Otherwise he's really more like a Disney princess— Anyway, hoping to just get him out there and make friends.

Still setting up their journals, but looking forward to seeing all the new people! Feel free to add me on laenavesse or hit me up on the Discord.

Oooh I will try my best to avoid spoilers of the second game then. Although I can't really get around his icons sadly.

Both Hyde and Kazuma are always up for a spar, so I'm sure they'll find even ground there! Oh and at his current point in development, the personalities are "working together" right now, so he may not see full Hyde personality anytime soon. Everything seems fine and Hyde is under control on the surface, but it's really not basically.

[saveoften]

Or if we get someone with the Snow White essence, that person

BOY DO I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU......

[saveoften]

YO WHAT'S UP I'm Alba and I'm bringing in Prince Alexander of Daventry from King's Quest to this game. He'll be arriving with his sister Rosella, and he has the Essence of Snow White, which means he can:
- Tame and speak to animals by singing to them
- Cannot be poisoned, as any attempt will just make him go to sleep

He's a curious, nervous, and shy lad, but he genuinely is eager to help out where he can!

[smolders]

LMAO I SAW AND GIGGLED.

Eugene will be like, "Well. ...Yeah, I guess I can call him 'fair'" and probably have fun with it lmfao

Also occurs to me that so far Snow White has an all male cast LMFAO

[schrodingers_joker]

Oh don't worry, I don't mind spoilers. I have a hard time resisting them honestly.

That's fine by me. Either way, Ren will be willing to spar with him.

[saveoften]

he will blush horribly about it

Oh god how did it come to this

[smolders]

Don't worry, Alexander, Eugene will make sure he stays the "fairest"—although Rapunzel will always be his personal bias /cough.

[tantailizing]

Suuuup nerds. No one new, just me, your local player VG and bringing someone here who's the complete opposite of Oswald (though I am sad to let that boy go).

This is Zidane Tribal from Final Fantasy IX, you know, one of those numbered games with 'final' in the title where you get a fantasy party together and save the world from a god, gods, or someone who wants to be god. Spoilers: this game series is never 'Final'. Anyway, he is a thief-y protagonist that's also an actor... and an alien, but don't ask too many questions here. His essence is Aladdin from One Thousand and One Nights who's actually less of a thief in book and more on the lazy side of life. Always expect him to have a Stand Jinni with him because they live in his ring.

Anyway, get to know him. He likes getting to know people... whether you want him to or not.

[savewell]

Hey there, I'm Alex and I'm bringing in Princess Rosella of Daventry from King's Quest! She's Alexander's twin sister (fraternal, obviously) and goes from Damsel in Distress™ in King's Quest 3 to being a protagonist in her own right in King's Quest 4! So she's kind of run the spectrum of Fabulous Hostage to Princess Who Gets Some Shit Done.

Her Essence is Artemis from Greek Mythology for a handful of reasons that make me feel very clever (twins, archery, an extreme reluctance to get married), and her powers include:

♘ The ability to summon a silver bow that acts as both a weapon and a focus for her abilities
♘ Arrows that, when shot, produce effects in line with typical Artemisian qualities, such as:

o) Producing a burst of light (one of her associations is Phaesporia — the "Lightbringer")
o) Charming a wild animal to befriend her (goddess of wild animals)
o) Killing peacefully and without pain (the effects of her silver arrows of legend)

♘ A soft, ethereal glow to her skin akin to moonlight

She's an upbeat, good-mannered, outgoing, and sociable sort of girl, courtesy of a loving upbringing; like all of her family, she adores reading, puns, and grand adventures, so I feel like she'll really take to the setting here!

Unless there are dragons. She's still, uh. Pretty averse to dragons.

Hello friends! It's Pixle and now I will be bringing this very nice detective boy who is totally not a psychopath Persona answer to Vegeta tsundere bad-boy. I am taking him from Royal, right before Maruki's world crumbled and he 'died' again.

His essence is going to be The Shadow, because it's a great idea to give him the powers of a rich pretty boy that has a hard-on for justice and totally not Batman's predecessor. There's Radio shows! a 1990s movie, and a lot of comic books. At first he will get the outfit, his guns and the ability to project his voice and mimic others.

Because he's terrible in general he will cause issues I have no doubt. But you know, also he's polite and nice, but please do not feed him pancakes after midnight.

[schrodingers_joker]

No pancakes after midnight? Okay, Ren will just bake him some for his next birthday then. >=3

[policedefective]

No. No pancakes from Ren ever.

[policedefective]

Ironic in that Akechi is totally low-key (see what I did there) jealous of him.

[policedefective]

Helios being Merlin is so perfect for him.

Please flatter Akechi he's weak against people who praise him.

[schrodingers_joker]

But it's delicious.

Honestly it'll be a matter of time before Ren either teases him about pancakes, or finds a way to give him some to dunk on him.

[policedefective]

"Friendship is overrated" - Akechi probably.

Hello! It is nice to meet you. Maybe they can at least meet and not kill each other (I'm sorry about Akechi existing)
