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!

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.

Kazuma Asougi | Dai Gyakuten Saiban
Player: Taisa
Character: Kazuma Asougi
Canon: DGS2-3, before the second day of the trial.
Age: 24
Bio Blurb: (optional: Wiki.) A college student and also a qualified attorney. He has a strong sense of justice and duty, but also can be a bit of a perfectionist and a hot head. He's in that category where people admire and respect his achievements and is even called the pride of the Japanese Empire. So he's cool stuff, the ideal student everyone should strive to be, but under the surface, he has some skeletons hiding in his closet.
When he qualified for the exchange program to study in Great Britain, there was a second part to that deal. Though he tells everyone he wants to change Japan's legal system, his true mission is to find the truth behind his father's death and he's willing to do anything find it, even accept an assassination exchange. Though he says he had no intention of going through with the assassination, he still brought Naruhodou along as a failsafe, but not tell him why. So basically, he's a man of many secrets and wants to do everything himself.
The point I'm pulling him will be when he still has amnesia. I want to see where he ends up developing without all of his memories. Oh, and he is proficient in using a sword.
Preferred Essence(s): I honestly do not have any ideas at the moment. There's too many stories....
Looking For: Stories that involves people becoming demons, curses, memory loss and/or weapons of myth that have special properties. On the opposite spectrum, something that will force him to be sociable.
Appearance: Depends on the essence, but considering I'm going for something darker, this may end up being a suitable appearance.
Abilities: Asougi always had this figurative demon inside him, so it would be neat to have it take on a physical appearance. His family also has a dark secret and been cursed, so it goes well with Asougi becoming a demon when he does a certain thing (In canon, when he felt strongly towards killing someone). His katana, Karuma is also known as the demonslayer, and something that slices through the darkness and reveals the truth.
Since he has trust issues, maybe the demon side triggers less when he starts moving towards depending on others?
Something kind of minor and doesn't happen as often in his current point, but there's a saying that a warm breeze always follows him back in Japan.
Quirks: Bigger appetite, light bothers him, or being somewhere where it's rich in...holiness? This will be expanded once the essence part is worked out.
Extra: End goal is being able to overcome the demon inside, control it, and getting his memories back. Although it would also be interesting to see if he believes the essence of the person is actually who he is...Also learning how to trust others again.
Questions: Do I play anything else besides from DGS? We'll just never know.

He also has had this voice dictating what he needed to do while having amnesia....could easily manipulate that with this essence, yes.
