Workshop #1: October 2018—
§ about.
Greetings, everyone! This is Forgotten Tales first ever 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. This is also doubling as an official interest check, so don't be shy!
Here are some reminders about how essences work in-game:
If you have any further questions about this or anything in general, comment to the Mod Thread.
TDM will be up October 12th. Registration opens October 19th.
Game starts October 21st.
§ the form.
If you're ready, just fill out the following form and discuss away! One character per comment.
Player:
Character:
Canon: (and canon point)
Age: (of the character)
Bio Blurb: Just a quick blurb about the character so everyone can get a basic idea. Feel free to link a wiki and mention canon abilities in here.
Preferred Essence(s): Have one already in mind? List it here!
Looking For: 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 for 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?
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?
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.
Post away and go buzz about everyone else!

This is also doubling as an official interest check, so don't be shy!
Here are some reminders about how essences work in-game:
- All characters will inherit characteristics and themes from a particular storybook character.
- 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.
- The essence doesn't necessarily have to match the character, just make sure you pick one that you can work with.
- Refer to the Abilities section to see how abilities work.
- 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.
- For a complete refresher, refer to the Character section of the Game Info.
- Feel free to hop into the Discord server.
If you have any further questions about this or anything in general, comment to the Mod Thread.

I like the idea of it having two 'modes' though. Not sure about it growing in size, but having it open could change the time around her. Like slow things down? Speed her up? Or something else magically potent that it's part of the reason why the outside case is so strong, just to keep whatever's inside of it in.
Nah see, she would always trying to arrive early to something important. But through some unforeseen circumstance, she would always get hold up by something else and arrive late. Or barely on time after cutting through as many corners possible.Also...if she were to be a technically a rabbit now, and there was potentially wolves coming too, how badly would this exactly go down?
no subject
lol that could definitely work!Eh, shouldn't be too much of a problem, really. Unless the wolves come from stories that are out for rabbits, there's no cause for concern. Even then whether a character tries to "attack" is completely up to them. The essence doesn't take over or completely change their personality. At most it would just make them feel more strongly towards them. Like for example, Big Bad Wolf from Three Little Pigs wouldn't always try to kill pigs. Instead they just might feel an attraction towards pigs in a way of like "Oooh shiny pig" or enjoy eating pork more than usual. Only reason why a character would go after others is if that character is already like that and would behave in a similar way even without the essence.
...Hope that makes sense ah ha.
no subject
Nah that makes sense. I guess I still just find it awkwardly hilarious.
