That is right people, today we are basing a RP within a lovely little place called Fabletown. For those of you that know the games you get the jist of what is happening, but for those that are unclear, otherwise you may want to research it, it is a town where the fiery tales, and some legends, of old now live within a place called Fabletown due to a invasion of their old homeland by one called The Adversary.

Fabletown is a community located on Bullfinch Street in Manhattan's Upper West Side. To regular people (or mundies), it appears to be an ordinary New York neighborhood. But it is really the home of Fables from many worlds, and within the business office at the Woodlands lies a massive cavern, a vast library, and hundreds of magical items of immense power. All non-human fables live upstate on The Farm, an extension of Fabletown. Also, the farm sucks... Pretty hard.
Basic Info

YOU will be playing these fables, but before you ask sadly no, you can not play Bigby. You will be allowed to play a existing fable, or if you are REALLY good at making a fable, I will allow OC fables to be introduced.

Me and my Co-GM experta will be running this and we already have a story based around a new drug and the reason everyone is worried. All we need now is some players willing to take part in this RP so that we can build it a little more personalized to your characters.

You all know the basic rules of RPing I presume, also you know stuff about the games or the books, but if you need any information then it will be added to the OOC as needed. Also remember to put "My Lips are Sealed" Under your CS

ACCEPTED!








Now for the most important part! Your CS!

Name: {Put your fables real name, and/or a cover name that they use while in the mundane world}
Nickname: {What do your freinds or other fables call you?}
Race: {Not every fable is human. Ent that right Bigby? "Bite me" How...nice ^^; }
Gender: {Male, female or other?}
Appearance: {Picture or Description. No real life pictures please, but any other style is fine}
Personality: {You can do a nice paragraph or just five words. I am a fan of finding out about you in the RP}
Fable: {What is your story? What fable do you come from? Also when you got here what happened?}
Belongings: {What do you own? From the smallest bit of money to your very home}
Theme: {Something just for fun}

King Cole

"Old King Cole was a merry old soul And a merry old soul was he. He called for his bowl and he called for his pipe And he called for his fiddlers three. Every fiddler, he had a fiddle And a very fine fiddle had he. Oh, there's none so rare, as can compare With King Cole and his fiddlers three."



Nickname
Mayor / Cole

Race
Human

Gender
Male

Personality
"A Mayor is a servant of the people, not a ruler"

King Cole is a kind, and well-liked figure in Fabletown. He is the one who is responsible for the founding of Fabletown, and the tales of his selfless deeds whilst he led the initial group of fables to Fabletown had him almost unanimously elected mayor. It is said that while leading his group of fables in an attempt to flee the Adversary, he sacrificed his portion of rations to the rest of the group, demonstrating his selfless nature.

He is a cunning diplomat, and knows how to keep spirits high, allowing him to achieve relative success as the mayor of Fabletown. His darkest moment was undoubtedly having to send the fables unable to make use of the glamor to the farm, a decision that spread doubt about him amongst the residents of Fabletown, and ultimately a decision he loses sleep over to this day.

Nowadays, much of the real work is completed by his deputy-mayor Snow White, albeit he still serves as a good figurehead for the residents of Fabletown and is eager to do what he perceives to be morally right for the residents.

A fan of the fables series wrote a small description of King Cole, which I thought summed up his duty as Mayor quite well;

"but it is easy to assume that the old man is little more than a figurehead allowing Snow White to do all the real work. In large part this is because the man seems so relaxed with power and is so kind that it is difficult to see what he is doing"


Fable
Taken from Fable lore

King Cole was the king of a very small kingdom. He was married and had three daughters, two of whom were married. When the Adversary advanced to his kingdom, it took them only a day to conquer it.

King Cole hidden from the enemy in an abandoned tin mine, where a group of his subjects had hid as well. He decided that they should hide there as long as possible and often skipped meals to make their supplies last. Eventually, they ran out of food, so they began raiding a nearby farm for supplies.

Once the Adversary left only a small occupying force behind and he heard that his family was killed, King Cole decided it was time to leave. They moved along, eventually hearing about the Sanctuary World.

King Cole was able to successfully lead his citizens to Fabletown. He was elected almost unanimously as mayor of the town during it's first election and has been re-elected every time since.

Belongings
Mayoral Office/Business Office
Portrait of his family

I wasn't particularly sure of what else to add in this section. I've read only some of the original comics (aside from having played the wolf among us series) and from what I gathered online, there isn't all that much information surrounding King Cole.

Hmm, nice King Cole, however I must warn thee. You have a big part to play in terms of worrying about fabletown and hearing out the other fables. Though there is little way that I can see of getting him out and about to really do things in concerns to the story. Of course a few scenes will come to him, and if you wish you may have a second char. You being cole takes some weight off me anyway hahah.

We will have to talk with each other about choices etc ^^.

I get'cha!

I took his role into consideration when creating the character sheet, as I also figured he wouldn't be as outgoing as other characters may be, though I'm happy to adopt a background role within the roleplay, and as you say, perhaps even look at playing a second fable.

Aside from that, I'll happily talk over any fluff with you regarding decisions and so-forth, and when the roleplay starts, I'm happy to do any collabs for the scenes that involve King Cole, since I suspect the majority of scenes involving him will be collaborative posts between several fables.

Name: The Bogeyman, Booker Mathews

Nickname: Boogie

Race: Monster

Gender: The name is Bogeyman take a guess

Appearance:




Personality: As you'd expect Boogie is a mischievous, creepy, and rather childish person, though the word person is only used loosely. What seems to shock most people is his honesty, he rarely lies and seems unable to keep one going. He is rather loyal person, seeing the whole of Fabletown as kind of family that he is apart of. But what really gets people is how he is a hopeless romantic, loving romance novels and movies, sadly though he seems to scar off any potential happy ever afters.

Fable: Before he left the homelands Boogie was a monster that terrorized wicked children with their own fears. He was the being that made people keep the candle on their night stand let all night, the reason parents told their kids to stay in when it was dark, but most importantly he was the reason people checked under his bed before they went to sleep. Despite the horrifying rumors that shrouded his name Boogie never ate the children he took, he merely filled their minds of their greatest fears until they swore they would never misbehave again, nothing to bad. Sadly that all changed when the Adversary started to take control of the homelands. Sure Boogie put up some sort of a fight but like so many Fables he eventually decided to abandon the homelands for somewhere new. He settled in Fabletown like the others, signing the Fabletown Compact. Boogie spent a few centuries doing random jobs just to get by but recently he opened his own Costume/Joke shop called Oogie Boogie's naughty thoughts.

Belongings:
-An average income
-A book of phobias
-His store
-Apartment 49 in the Woodlands

Real Name: ?????? ( only he knows )
Name: Currently calls himself Max ( he constantly changes names, current one is homage to Max from Sam and Max )
Nickname: The Boy Who Cried Wolf
Race: human
Gender: male
Appearance: http://www.wall321.com/thumbnails/detail/20120412/brunettes%20suit%20vector%20kuroshitsuji%20sebastian%20michaelis%20red%20eyes%20anime%20anime%20boys%201480x1406%20wallpa_www.wallpaperto.com_82.jpg

Personality: Don't hate the player, hate the game. A prankster and lier by nature. Loves to toy with other people and watch them suffer. His encounter with Bigby tought him one thing... HE NEEDED TO STEP UP HIS GAME! With time his web got bigger and the practise of the con man became his life and blood. If cheating doesn't work, cheat harder. Rather then learn from his fall he made sure to try even harder in his evil ways. He enjoys all the sins and can't get enough of them. Everything that's fun is on the table as far as he is concerned. He always covers up his tracks and makes sure to keep his nose clean in front of the public with charity. A junky for power he is a menace the city can't get rid of, and he loves to exploit that fact to the fullest.
Fable: The Boy Who Cried Wolf. He was the shepard in the tale until Bigby came along and fucked things up. Ever since that the guy took it upon himself to make himself stronger and more renowened as he started spreading his tale more proactively in the 15th century around the mundies.
Belongings: A few night clubs and bars. His main one is in the fable part of town called classily the Double D's. With high income and a lot of sleezy dealings he is the pest the town can't get rid of and the one pulling strings in the shadows for his own amusement.

Oh, how interesting. Let me have a glance through the fables to see any I'd want to pick.

Side note, are there any fables which are reserved/GM only? I'd quite possibly like to grab Snow White, but she's fairly major, wouldn't want to write a CS for a character the GMs want to keep as an NPC etc.

Hmm the Bogeyman working at a nightclub? I think it might go something like this:
Random club goer: I'd like a beer.
Boogie: Hey I remember you. I use to stay under your bed.

Snow white is allowed, since I allowed King Cole, but reemmber, she has the same ploblem as him, she is not going to get out much, more so since Bigby is taking a back seat in this RP, since you know... Wolf OP XD

As for you two, I like the Idea, I do ,love connections in RPs and remember that most fables do know each other.

Name: Rozalin the Caged Witch
Nickname: Rose
Race: Human / ???
Gender: Female
Appearance:

Personality: Despite her looks Rozalin is a rather outspoken person, always stating what she wants/means in a very blunt way. She has little respect for the other witches on the 13th floor, and so is much more out going than her 'sisters'. Well this applies to almost everyone else other than King Cole himself as she seems to have a certain amount of respect for him. She is slightly upset she never had a real 'Happily Everafter'
Fable:
There was once a which that spun webs of gold
To make magical gowns, so lovely and renowned
As by the kings word she was told.
To make them vibrant and bold
But a grudge against them she did hold
Curse those that had her chains tightly held
Now only for herself dose she spin her webs of gold

Rozalin was held captive by a evil king and forced to work day and night to make magical clothing for this kingdom, however using the very clothing that she crafted she destroyed the kingdom and fled. During this time she was mistaken for any normal wicked witch, but when she came across King Cole he took her in after hearing her story, treating her like one of his own. At the time of the invasion she helped as many people as she could escape from Cole's kingdom into the tin mine, and then out into the world. She now lives on the 13th floor with the other witches, but often leaves without permission to see others and Cole himself.
Belongings:
Staff
Cane/wand
Witch supplies {Spice, containers, poison apple etc}
13th floor apartment {Contains TV, fridge full of cola and jerky}
Bike: Yamaha V-Max

Name: Gideon Armstrong

Nickname: "Wyldefae"

Race: Half-Human, Half-Faerie

Gender: Male

Appearance:
Gideon in his prime, before the Homelands were conquered and he was driven out.

Personality: Mercurial and inscrutable, Gideon is more often than not jovial to people he meets for the first time, but there is no guarantee that he will treat the person the same way the next time he will meet them based on changing circumstances. He keeps his true intentions hidden, and although he is tough to read, he does have a caring heart for those in need.

Fable: The Changling Child, Gideon was a stolen from his human crib when he was a baby by one of Sidhe, the Fae Lords. Taken into the realm of Tir Na Nog, the realm of the Fairies, he was raised as a Fairy Child, gaining many Faerie characteristics such as black eyes, pointed ears, paler skin, along with agility and finese as his blood transfused with the intense magic to become half-Fae . Upon reaching adulthood, his God-Mother took him under her wing as her personal representative between the Summer and Winter Courts, where he learned the byzantine intrigues of Fairy politics and the constant exchanges and bargains for greater power.
He hated his job as nothing but a dignified half-bred messenger, but being bound to his God-Mother he had little choice, until his God-Mother grew tired of him and gave him to both Queens of the Summer and Winter Courts as a gift they would have equal claim on depending on where his soul lay "hot" or "cold". Seeing the benefit in playing off of both sides, and knowing that even a half-Fae's soul alignment determined which court it was bound to serve, Gideon made certain to keep himself balanced in everything he did. He was inscrutable, one day he would help a particular Fae, the very next he would kick them out of the way. Another day he would kill troll, and in the next hour he would pay living expenses for that troll's wife. It was ludicrous, amoral, and extremely selfish, but that fit him right in with the Faeries and it secured him his position as Mediator between the Faeries of Summer and Winter, with the Queens, Lords, and Ladies of each side bidding with handsome bargains or ransoms for his services. This also included Fae dealings with other non-Fae races, where he kept up his strict philosophy of maintaining balance.
Thing got shaken up quite substantially when the Adversary conquered the Homelands, Tir Na Nog was shattered and the Faerie Queens took off to the Mundy World with as much of their Courts as they could. But even in the Mundy World, their rivalries persisted, and now they had the perfect targets to trick, bargain, and persuade into deals to take advantage of people, Mundies. As for Gideon, he found his role had changed now to that of a Diplomat from the Queens between the newly formed Fabletown and its administration, led by King Cole as Mayor, as the Queens did not wish to bring themselves together for fear of their combined magic causing havoc on the Mundie World at large, or simply drawing unwanted attention to The Woodlands. Now, he represents the interests of the Sidhe Courts working to ensure that they heard, and works to deal with what he calls their "domestic issues". Even having gone to a new world, some things never change.

Belongings: Small one bed-room apartment, number 33 on the third floor of a set of low rent Apartments several blocks away from The Woodlands "Lady Liberty Apartments". There he has an ice chest filled with bread and assorted veggies, dozens of candles, a writer's desk, a small Davenport sofa, and a puzzle-box safe wherein he keeps these items: A Fae-crafted Blade to symbolize his authority as Mediator, 13 ounces of gold exactly, and his records of Fairies and their correspondence, written in Irish Gaelic.

He wears a soul stone necklace (used to keep track of his alignment, it looks similar to a "Mood" stone), a key to the aforementioned safe, one set of jeans, a dark green overcoat, running shoes, and a baseball cap for the Celtics.
