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.

Emizel | Disgaea 4
Character: Emizel
Canon: Disgaea 4, Post Game
Age: 1324, 13-ish physically/mentally
Bio Blurb: Wiki. Son of the former President of the Netherworld and spoiled until he became black mail in a coup d'etat-esque scheme. Between that and all his other failures, the Corrupternment wanted nothing to do with him and his father thought it was better to abandon him than give into demands. Word soon spread that Emizel had died unexpectedly, and when he had gone to the information bureau prove that he was still alive, tl;dr he was going to be executed. From that point on, he joined Valvatorez's team and been trying his damndest to be a better person...er, demon ever since. And that eventually he will be recognized/remembered and accepted somewhere.
Also side story of working towards becoming the next President, now that Axel is the one running the place and is incompetent and Emizel doesn't want to see his whole lineage get run into the ground. And it is something to stride for.
Preferred Essence(s): I don't know why, but one of my first thoughts was something Prince and the Pauper related. Although, Emizel never switched roles with anybody so it doesn't really tie to his character arc.
Looking For: Any story that has to do with learning humility would work I think. I know there's also like, at least a dozen stories relating to secret royal family members, with or without aspiring to the throne because they may or may not be the next rightful heir. I am just brain farting hard to come up with any good ones.
Appearance: Open to any animal features, or clothing changes if it's significant in some way.
Abilities: Canon reaper and spellcaster. Not sure how these would translate over to an essence, but some kind of blend would be amazing.
Quirks: Yes. 8D
Extra: ...Is absolutely not a kitton. Whoever told you such lies is....lying B|
Questions: I still have mostly a brigade of smols and I don't know how I feel about it.

There also quite a few non-royal stories involving lessons in hard work, humility, and politeness, like Mother Holle and Diamonds and Toads, often with one kind and hardworking sibling and one rude and lazy sibling so Emi could go into either role. There’s also Bearskin, where a soldier is cursed by the devil for being cocky and has to survive seven years by being kind and virtuous. And if you wanna play with his Reaper side more, there’s Godfather Death, where a baby is given Death as a godfather and grows up to be a doctor with Death’s help and... also features a humbling lesson of a sort~
