Workshop #2: January 2019—

§ about.
Welcome to Forgotten Tales story 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.

Here are some reminders about how this all works:

1. Although not required, participation in the Workshop is highly recommended.
   
   
2. Make sure to check the Character Roster and Essence List to see if your choices are not already taken.
   
   
3. All characters will inherit characteristics and themes from a particular storybook character.
   
   
4. 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.
   
   
5. The essence doesn't necessarily have to match the character, just make sure you pick one that you can work with.
   
   
6. Refer to the Abilities section to see how abilities work.
   
   
7. 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.
   
   
8. For a complete refresher, refer to the Character section of the Game Info.
   
   
9. We have an accompanying Test Drive and Registration is always open.
   
   
10. Feel free to hop into the Discord server for help and questions.

If you have any further questions about this or anything in general, comment to the Mod Thread.

/chants Big Bad Wolf! Big Bad Wolf!

Although now I'm imagining her form as one of the wolf daemons in canon, ha ha.

...Yeah, I got nothing to add since I think you got a lot of good ideas already. WAIT IS SHE GOING TO LOSE HER CLOTHES WHEN SHE TRANSFORMS

/continues chanting.

[oligomania]

As interesting as Pirate Velvet would be, I did sort of cover that in Emp so definitely leaning towards BBW.

HAHA that was also my first thought but actual wolf would be cute and she'd hate it. So.... gotta do that.

I enjoy wolf characters so it was easy coming up with ideas for that part. I MEAN, SHE COULD. ADVERT YOUR EYES WHEN SHE CHANGES BACK, PEOPLE!

[rokubro]

Oh no cute wolf I approve even if Velvet doesn't.

ROKUROU'S NEW DUTY: LEAP IN FRONT TO SHIELD LEADER

But in all seriousness it could be a progression thing. Starts off with little to no clothes and needing new ones all the time to magically keeping them.

[oligomania]

Now I'm just picturing her being just slightly above average size of a regular wolf and Rokurou packing wolf Velvet around.

A HUNTSMAN PROTECTING A WOLF. WHAT HAS THE WORLD COME TO?

lmao, the first time she comes out of the transformation looking like she spent 3 years fighting in a pit.

[rokubro]

LMAO it's even more hilarious because his essence makes it so that he actually has a strong dislike towards wolves and specifically goes after them if they're around. Rokurou himself doesn't care that much so it's an interesting conflict when dealing with actual people, WHICH IS GOING TO GET MORE INTERESTING WITH VELVET LMAO.

Well it's not like she really had that much more on her after so maybe she'll be fine lmao.

[oligomania]

It will be so damn fun. She will constantly have to watch her back around him even if she knows Rokurou would want a straight-on fight, not a sneak attack. Some days Velvet just entertains him and actually fights back.

Yep. She starts carrying around a jacket or cloak or something.

[rokubro]

Why only some days, that's mean 8(

Jacket and cloak sound like a good idea, yes lmao. Now just need more wolves to join—

[oligomania]

Look, she doesn't want to accidentally lose her head.

Form a banBd of wolves. They'll be the Big Bad Wolf pack.

[rokubro]

It wouldn't be an accident...

...So like. Idols?

[oligomania]

No need to tempt the Huntsman into killing her more than necessary.

Except they go door to door like Christmas carolers, sometimes even breaking in to "seranade" the poor families.

[rokubro]

Look, we all know he would have wanted to fight her at some point let him live the dream.

...Sounds like something the wolf from three little pigs would lead lmao.

ALSO WE REALLY NEED TO STOP SPAMMING why are we like this /shoves you out

[oligomania]

He would have, it's true. They've never had a real battle between them yet.

Probably.

NO I WILL NEVER! I was gonna use this to ponder things but then realized, oh yeah, plurk exists. /WANDERS OVER TO THE TDM INSTEAD

[rokubro]

The hunt is afoot!
