[OOC] The Legend of Gobbledygook

[The Mad Hatter]

@The Mad Hatter most definitely IC posts will be third person, no worries! Actually, sorry, can I ask for the aspects to be written OOC, for clarity's sake? Alarah shall be approved though :)

@Mokley

No worries, that’s an easy fix. It’d be easier than the way they’re written now, at least 😅

I don't have the time to do it right now, but it will be done ASAP.

[The Mad Hatter]

Double posting to tell you that my CS have been quick-fixed. I might change the wording later, without changing the actual outcome.

@Mokley

How many characters can we have on total? (Can I have two? pretty pleaseeee? XD)

@Moon

So... Finn might enjoy a little friend! Who knows? XD
After seeing your character I'm feeling so compelled to do a pixie just to be together with Finn! <3 lol

Owwnt!

PS: still very, very uncertain about what to do T___T Currently thinking about doing a pixie/fairy to be together with Finn, but that depends on Moon. lol

Any other suggestion is very much appreciated XD

[Opposition]

I'm overly interested in this idea. I've already started drafting a character concept, but I figured I'd get a question answer before I got too far ahead of myself.

How plausible is a character having an extraordinary ability akin to magic? Should I avoid that?

[Mokley]

@The Mad Hatter Hey awesome thanks! That's so much faster to read, haha. Go ahead and post her to the characters tab! :D

@13org Let's see how many characters we have when everyone's got one -- people are still arriving for the first time! :)

@OppositionJ How extraordinary are we talking? :D It'll be hard to be game-breaking, but I haven't thought of everything!

@Mokley

A lot of my character's concept has to do with the dark. I intended to say she could 'pick up shadows', which would entail her being able to manifest grab objects from shadowy spaces. Perhaps to elaborate, she would be able to use it like molding clay.

[Mokley]

@OppositionJ Hmm ok sure! :D I can't see there being a situation where this would be an unfair advantage, and it's rather unique!

[Opposition]

@Mokley

Perfect! I'll get to work finishing up, thanks!

[Moon]

@13orgFeel free to go with something like that if you'd like! I'm sure Finn wouldn't mind someone his own size.

@MokleyI'll PM you some of those ideas soon!

[Girlie1Bomba]

Nvmnd...

[13org]

@Mokley @Moon

Did something XD
Hope it's ok.

PS: Finn should really look at the trouble section of her CS

Lily

So what's your name?
My name? My name is Lily! Just like the flower!

Why do you look like that?
I suppose you are asking this because I'm a bit different from the other fairies you usualy see, right? Did you know that there are a lot of different types of fairies? I am a moth fairy, see? We don't show ourselves as much so we are even rarer to see than normal fairies.

You're weird. I bet you can do some cool stuff.
It is a bit obvious that I can fly, otherwise i wouldn't be flying around you as we speak! giggle But other than that, my voice is not just pretty, but it's also calming! If I sing, I can even put others to sleep pretty fast! Other cool stuff I can do...? Well... I can see really well in the dark and in case someone or something tries to hurt me or catch me I can let out paralyzing poison spores from my wings and I can stab them with tiny rapiers we do from thorns & such, but you wouldn't do that... right?

So where's your home? Is it as weird as you are?
I don't really have a house. I just stay wherever I want. Tree trunks, flower fields or even living near others If they are kind to me. Don't tell anyone, but we fairies love sweet stuff, especially milk and honey! I really shouldn't be talking that, but you're cute and even though you are a bit rude... I don't think you're a bad person, so listen closely! Do you know all the talk about how to summon fairies? All that stuff about a naturally formed ring, salt and offerings such as honey, milk and jewelry? Don't tell anyone, please, but it's actually true! Do that and be kind to us and we will show ourselves.

What's your favorite candy?
Honey, berries and those sweet candies made with chocolate and flowers!

Do you have any?
Sadly no... No honey, and the last berries I had I ate just a few minutes ago. Talking about sweet things... The last time I tasted some of those chocolate thingies made with flowers was a loong time ago when a kind lady offered them to me... I wish I could meet someone who know how to do them...

High Concept: The will of the forest.
Explanation: As a fairy, Lily has a deep connection to the forest and the magical energies that flow through it. She will show her affection, gratitude and favour to those who treat the forest and the other magical beings that help to keep it's balance and punish those who wish evil upon the forest and it's inhabitants.

Trouble: Longs for companionship.

Explanation: Most doesn't even notice Lily's presence, and those who do, often forget about her after some time. Other fairies are also quite rare to see. She longs for someone who would stay by her side and care for her, be it from another race or even another fairy to be her partner.

1st Aspect: Curiosity is in my nature.
Explanation: Fairies are curious by nature, and with Lily, it's not that different.

2nd Aspect: Only those who are truly good deserve my favor.
Explanation: It's hard to earn Lily's trust, especially if you aren't a fairy, but if you do, she will trust you and show you her kindness.

3rd Aspect: Bound by gratitude.
Explanation: If she accepts a gift or an offering done with a ritual or if someone helps her when she is in a difficult situation, she will stand by their side until she repays their kindness.

@Girlie1Bomba Mama Rayn is intriguing! Totally approved -- though could you clarify what her relationship is with the general denizens of the Tangle? How big is The Green Corridor in comparison to the Tangle as a whole? Are her 'children' just a select few, or is this an indication that everyone that lives in the Tangle is her child? If not, would her 'children' include all faeries, like Finn and Lily?

@13org Lily is wonderful -- approved! Some very interesting potential dynamics are coming to light among the characters so far. :D

[ShwiggityShwah]

A spider, a unicorn, two fairies, a wild feather monster, a sphinx, and an old man walk into a bar...

@Mokley

K soooo like I'm thinking like big city big construction. Some would revere her as a demigoddess; a caretaker of the Greenspaces. Yet others would see her as an obstacle-- an enemy even-- of progress (construction). But all in all, the basic treatise is that for every tree fallen, her Corridor swallows up that much more inbetween space at its boundaries. Does that make sense?

How big is The Green Corridor in comparison to the Tangle as a whole?

@Mokley

As big as you like but I'm thinking that Mama Rayn has the largest or most influential Green Corridor. I'm sure in such a large city, there are other unicorn's with their own Green Corridors.

Are her 'children' just a select few, or is this an indication that everyone that lives in the Tangle is her child? If not, would her 'children' include all faeries, like Finn and Lily?

@Mokley

No, just the ones that call her Mama Rayn would be from her Corridor; I'm thinking there are other Unicorns with their own Corridors. But all wise Fae and Fair would know to address her as Mother in due respect, she is ancient and a unicorn afterall.

Oh and as for calling Sphinx and Reaper her sisters, I don't think they are all 'blood relations' it's just Mama Rayn refers to the ol' Relics as her sisters.

But like just let me know how much leash I got with Mother Ina'Raynjara boss, it's all good.

[Mokley]

@Girlie1Bomba Ok! What is "inbetween space" and "abandoned mortalized dwellings"?

(there's a lotta worldbuild here, I'm thinking xD)

@Mokley

K soooo like going back to the whole: "for every tree fallen, the greenery expands upon its boundaries." The flora takes over the buildings and alleys but not the main road. So imagine a bunch of magical flora(forests) taking over the buildings and alleyways behind the main roads. Vines and branches entwine over the road creating another level of living. Flowers large enough to bed a tiger spring forth from all over and even hang from such intertwinings. Faeries, pixies, magical butterflies buzz and flit about. The wind blows, the trees sing. The Fair children, gnomes, elves, satyrs, centaurs and others traipse about. They are the wards and caretakers of the abandoned buildings so you could imagine just what kind of decor and decorations they have done to thesse "abandoned mortalized dwellings."

Trees, shrub s and bushes line the 'inbetween spaces' of the abandoned buildings and alleyways. Song, dance and love has over taken this construction but should any not being a 'child of Mama Rayn' enter the Greenery, the treatise states that; "The Unicorn owns all that is of her Greenery." Meaning' if you enter her domain, she has all rights to treat you as if she owns you. Thusly, the 'mortalized buildings' have been abandoned. For she owns all that sits on the land, the 'inbetween spaces' included; the alleyways.

Does this make sense?

I see her being all-powerful and all consuming in her domain, but a slave to such a fate; she MUST take care of her station, lest she fade away into nothingness. The main roadway is not hers and she will only traipse upon it in dire circustances. Her children, including the trees and grasses and bushes, are turning to stone and thusly she treads upon the 'mortal domain.' The Mainroad. Cuz she is desperate now and needs help.

I know, I sooooooo know this is soooooo much to ask for in your world but I am willing to downscale it all. Just let me know.

[Mokley]

@Girlie1Bomba I get where ya comin' from! :D

Honestly, I had imagined the Tangle as a whole to be what you describe as The Green Corridor: full of nature and magic, encroaching upon anything broken or destroyed. There really isn't anyone within the Tangle that is destroying nature or would even think of cutting down trees. Everyone lives within the same magical space as Mama Rayn, and in harmony with nature.

What's OUTSIDE the Tangle, though .... well, that's why there's a guardian at the door. That's why the Tangle is an impossible maze: to keep visitors from being able to do much damage.

Perhaps Mama Rayn remembers a time when the Tangle wasn't a maze at all, but a wide lush landscape that stretched on forever. Since then it had shrunk ... and shrunk. And she felt every crack of an axe against a tree. Fairies vanished, lights dimmed. The other unicorns all disappeared. Out of desperation the rocks erected the walls of the maze, entwined them, kept the destructive ones out and hid the magic inside -- and so the Tangle IS Mama Rayn's Green Corridor, the only one left.

Perhaps there are a few relics of that age hidden in the corners of the maze -- strange old buildings and scarred earth, all since reclaimed by green and magic -- but otherwise most have forgotten that old time.

Of course, now that we've established that the Door exists, it's only right that it should open -- and outside it is the 'mortal domain.'

[Girlie1Bomba]

@Mokleyughs... Sooooo embarrassing...

Nevermind I totes envisioned something else entirely. Scrap mama rayn. Imma do up a whole different chara...

Sorry peeps... My bad :\

[Mokley]

@Girlie1Bomba Aaaww but Mama Rayn! ;-; She totally works, if you're willing to expand her territory -- and we will likely be crossing outside. ;)

(for serious though, that scenario that you describe is 10000% up my alley, if you ever wanna mod it I'm in.)

[ShwiggityShwah]

@Girlie1Bomba@Mokley

I imagine the tangle being a mismash of different places terrains and types of buildings. I thought her character would be some grove that encompassed the tangle, like a living forest inside this place that grows despite all odds.

But that just me. ^^
