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.

More or less, she's not as bad about it as Rokurou (since her world's gone so she can't do anything about it anyway) but boy is she not her dad's biggest fan. Clearly listing things out is needed here. And probably a bingo card.

But YEAH she's definitely going to want to spar with him, then probably laugh off whatever the result is and go out for drinks because what better way is there to end a low stakes fight etc etc. AND YEAH HONESTLY tiny samurai girl is super tempting because she'd definitely mess with it for funsies until she gets birdnapped or dragged off by mice or something.




----and i honestly didn't even notice one being a giant essence and the other being tiny fajkl i just kind of went "WELL SHE TRAVELS TO OTHER WORLDS AND ALSO SWORDS SO THESE TWO I GUESS" whoops

[rokubro]

I look forward to this giant list. Be all "it's like you're my genderbent version this is weird."

/deliberately sets up some kind of thing that requires little people.



LMAO you just wanted her to shift sizes admit it.

[fifthforce]

Even better, she'd find it hilarious because she knows she's the genderbent version of the real Musashi lmao.

also wow i feel targeted how dare



sob I REALLY DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE LIKE it was 1am and these were the only things i could come up with

#stopbullyingkyio2019

[rokubro]

They're all Musashi. THAT'S THE REAL SECRET.

when are you never not targeted i mean

#bullykyio4ever

[fifthforce]

but wow. WOW.

[ricebird]

(Popcorns this.)

And good gravy, give Musashi black hair and this would be a straight up Rule 63 instead of just a crack ship.
