I was just talking to Vicier about the Enchantress, and one thought I had about her was what if her true identity was of a fairy tale character we all heard of but maybe never have associated with evil or magic.

Sorry, about that, I had classes today and afterwards I slept...a lot. Anyway, I should have Hansel and my first post up tonight. <3

Appearance:

Name: Hansel Birch

Age: 23

Personality: Traumatized by his dealings with his abusive stepmother and the witch that owned the gingerbread house he and his sister stumbled upon as children, Hansel has a deep hatred for all magic and women, which only got worse when the Enchantress took over. He has also picked up a bit of a drinking problem. He uses it as an escape from his past and his present. He, more often than not, drinks on the job too, but he holds his liquor well enough to get the job done. In addition, Hansel trusts no one. He has become obsessively paranoid and is always looking over his shoulder, watching out for whoever might be out to get him next; especially with that little Alice running loose.

Life in fairytale land: When Hansel was young, he and his sister were abandoned by their parents in the woods because, according to their stepmother, they ate too much. Long story short, he and his sister found a gingerbread house in the woods and began eating it because they were lost, naive, and hungry. She caught them and tried to fatten them up and eat them. Only Hansel escaped. His sister, too young to know better and desiring a mother figure, trusted the old witch and followed her every command. Hansel tried to stop her, but he couldn't do much from the cage he was locked in. Watching his sister get eaten was the most traumatizing thing to ever happen to him. The broken boy was next in line and was let out of his cage several days later to be eaten. He used the opportunity to try to escape. He took advantage of the woman's poor eyesight and shoved her into the fire she was going to use to cook him. After that, he fled and somehow found his way home. His father was shocked, but happy to have him back. His stepmother had died sometime while he and his sister were gone. His father claimed it was illness, but thinking back on it, Hansel suspects it was his father's doing. While Hansel was gone, his father had started drinking heavily. At the time, Hansel didn't understand why.
Hansel was only about 7 years old when the Enchantress and her band of villains rose to power. While Hansel's father started drinking even more, he and his father were safe for a little while (3 years) because they lived deep in the woods, but it was only a matter of time before they were found. His father had been innocently slaughtered by the Enchantress's men and he, himself, was taken captive and dragged back to the palace to be forced into servitude. Due to his father's profession as a woodcutter, they saw it fit to make Hansel one, too, and, to be honest, theoretically it would have been ideal because he had experience in such work. However, the conditions under which he worked were horrible. He was often sent with too few men to bring back wood for the castle in any sort of a timely manner. He does this day in and day out. He doesn't mind it much because it gives him some time away from the castle, a place he often fantasies escaping. The winters, however, are the worst. Trying to carry back arm fulls of wood when the weather was nice was hard enough, but the constant threat of hypothermia made it nearly impossible. It took a lot of convincing, a little liquid courage, and some things he would never admit doing to pursued his superiors to give him a horse and carriage. There was a catch, though. He had to do it all on his own now. His companions were reassigned and he is, more often than not, alone in gathering wood. Hansel also does some hunting here and there, and he's a pretty good shot, when he's sober that is, but let's be honest, that's not very often.

(I figured no one will be playing his sister so I kind of killed her off.)

posted the collaboration with Vicier. I like it and I think a great first chapter for our two characters.

Hey, quick question (I fee like I use that phrase a lot), three different pictures have been shown of castles. Are these all supposed to be the same castle or are they different castles in different places?

They are different castles in the different kingdoms of the fairy tale world. Each of the royals would have had their own castle in which they resided and when the villains took over, they would have made them their own :3

Thank you! <3
and posted! Sorry that took so long.^^;

No problem, glad I could help out! :3

......
^is waiting for something to do...

Alright there is something that I need to be specific about since I noticed your posts.....In fairytale world they have electronics........They are not living in the olden days with a horse and a carriage. sure they are not full of technology with Ipads and military crazy gadgets but they have working bathrooms and no outhouses. Sorry so many things have slipped my mind when I decided on the rp. If you have any questions just ask them so I can make them clear. The main focus is not technology ther but they have it.

Haha, sorry, XD I just assumed since most fairy tales take place in the past (probably because that's when they were made). I kind of just took inspiration from Once Upon a Time and Harry Potter and went with it. So, should I switch the horse and carriage for a pick up truck?

lol sure. I feel bad for forgetting so much and out of the blue I end up remembering and teling you guys. You must feel like your walking on eggshells.

Unless your character just likes old fashioned stuff xD

Hahaha, no that's alright, he'll take anything to make it easier. He would much rather have a pick up truck.
I'll edit both his CS and my post in a little bit <3

I remember you saying that it was modern. Its just when it comes imaging a modern fairy tale world my imagination has fallen short. So I've been pretty vague about describing The Northern Kingdoms for the Huntsman. Though in my last one I did say Earth's shower was similar to his own. I suppose as Vicier and I get more into the Huntsman's homelands though I will have to give the place more detail. For the most part I have taken inspiration from Skyrim in the images I have of the country. Though much of it would be modern, it would still have that ancient feel to it.

Yes. It would have the dark castles and such but with plumbing and no metal armour and swards.

*nods* ... but I'm not sure what a sward is. =p

Oh...you never did say anything about the idea I had.

O.o must have totally missed that! Oops! ^ ^;

My throne will be built into my Throne! It will be gold, and I shall relieve myself upon the Royal Throne!

I wasn't sure what to do so I added another post with Belle. :)
