[OOC] Fables: After The Ever Afters

[Saarebas]

"Our stories use to be so simple. We had a beginning, a middle, and a end... But ever since we left the Homelands everything has gotten so twisted."


This RP is about the lives of the fairytale characters we all read about growing up and the struggles and hardships their nearly eternal lives have fallen on ever since they had to came to the mundane world, our world. We will play as the residents of the small community Fabletown which is secretly nestled in the great city of New York. You have the choice of playing as a canon character like Bigby, Snow, Beauty, Beast etc. And as this RP takes place around the same time as the Wolf Among Us did all the characters that died over the course of the game and comics are currently alive. You can also use Fables that weren't in the game or comics, either already known fairytale characters who just happen to not be in the game or comics or ones you made up yourself. This RP is based on the game and comics, but that does not mean it is the same. As in the characters may be the same, but the events that happened in the comics and game may change or not happen altogether. But that is enough of that it is time to move on to the fun part, yes that's right kids it's time for... *drum roll* The Rules!

The Rules:
1. First off the time honored one for all RPs, no godmodding or powerplaying. If there are fights in the IC, and I hope there are, just try not to be like the kid on the play ground that says "You didn't hit me because of my supersheild was on!"
2. I don't mind drama in the IC, it's suppose to be there, but let's keep it out of the OOC, good vibes only dudes and dudettes
3. PG-13 guys, that goes for romance and fighting. No all out bloods baths in the IC and keep the serious romance in the PMs
4. Let us know if you're going to be gone for more than a day or so, I don't mind it just keeps people from being stuck in post lock
5. Put Once upon a time somewhere in your CS to show you read the rules
6. My Co-GM spot is currently open if any one is interested
7. Feel free to shoot any of your ideas at me at any time I don't mind at all :)
8. Have fun!

[Saarebas]

Name
The Bogeyman, goes by Booker Manson when speaking to mundies

Nickname
Boogie

Race
Monster

Gender
The name is Bogeyman take a guess

Appearance
Glamor- Boogie is 6'3 in height with a thin body build. His skin is a very light pale color, almost rivaling Snow's, and his hair is a ebony black color. His eyes are hazel, but change to a bright yellow when he gets angry or feels like making a point. He normally wears punkish clothes, them usually being black and slightly torn. He has several piercings in both of his ears along with one on his bottom lip and one on his tongue. He has a large tattoo on his back of a horned skull that is crawling with spiders and has a snake coiling in and out of it's mouth and eye sockets

No Glamor- Without his glamor Boogie is literally something out of nightmares. He is a shadowy monster that stands 9 feet tall and is shrouded in a thick smog. In the mist is a monstrous skeleton with large horns, long arms that end with large claws instead of hands, and empty eye sockets that have two yellow glowing orbs like fires that act as it's eyes. He glides and floats through the air instead of walking which add to his unsettling nature.

Job
Nightclub Owner/Musician

Personality
As you'd expect Boogie is a mischievous, creepy, and rather immature person, though the word person is only used very loosely. He is fiercely loyal, seeing the whole of Fabletown as kind of family that he is a part of and needs to help protect. He loves music and plays whenever he gets the chance to, which usually is early in the morning when he gets off work much to the distain of his neighbors. He has a strong sympathy for the less fortunate Fables in town, especially the girls who work at Porgie's though only people who know him well know why. He has a certain respect for Bigby most of the other Fables don't have, seeing as Boogie knows how it is to "be the monster trying to make it in Prince Charming's world" as he puts it. He puts on the air of a relentless flirt, hitting on almost every female Fable that he meets, but really 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, kidnapped, and ate the people of the land. He was the being that made everyone keep the candle on their nightstand lit 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 their bed before they went to sleep. Sadly that all changed when the Adversary started to take control of the Homelands. Sure Boogie put up a fight, protecting the weaker Fables and attacking the Adversary's forces when he could, but like so many Fables he eventually had 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, his lowest moments were when he had to work at Georgie Porgie's as a "entertainer" on ladies night or for anyone else with that certain "taste". But eventually he saved up enough money open his own nightclub just outside Fabletown, he called it Rumors and it has become a real hit with the mundies, he works as both the club's owner and a musician to help bring in more crowds. He has occasionally been called in by Bigby and sometimes Bluebeard, though Boogie doesn't like him much but he does pay well, to help with interrogations of suspect Fables, he seems to know the perfect way to get anyone to talk.

Abilities
Fable Physiology- Boogie has the inhuman endurance, strength, and healing that most monster Fables have.
Levitation- When in his true form Boogie floats through the air rather than walk, no one sure if he really has legs or not as no one has seen past the smog that covers him clearly enough to tell.
Invisibility/Intangibility- Boogie is able to disappear completely from view or turn his body into pure smog that can slip through small openings.
Shapeshifting- Boogie is able to change his shape at will from things like humans to animals and sometime even more monstrous forms. Though in recent years he has only been making use of his human form.
Illusion Creation- Boogie is able to cast images, sounds, feelings, and smells into the minds of others that are so realistic that they are unmistakable as real, he use to use this to terrorize the people of the Homeland.
Fear Sense- Boogie is quite literally the origin of the phrase "it can smell your fear". He has the bizarre sixth sense of being able to sense the fears of those around him. The best way he has ever described it as was when he said people's fear appeared in subtle ways, like someone with a fear of fire would appear to have a few embers coming off them or another person who is afraid of drowning would smell of sea water.

[Saarebas]

Hmmm... I'm going to guess you are trying to say he is the grim reaper then and if so I'm on the fence on accepting him, the Primordial entity thing is not helping much either. I'd have to see his abilities first before I say anything

lets say the abiltys are quite nerfed... he is restricted by much much higher powers...

[Saarebas]

Still very cryptic... I'll need to know what he can do exactly, nerfed or the grim reaper may be a little much.

Yep :), but we still need more people though

((Will mostly play it out))

But not all was lost, Kuro still had a sweet side to her, though she would only show it when she was alone. She would play with her pet black cat, Lamia. When her castle was raided Kuro was forced to flee. She went to the mundane world and began living there. She settled in Fabletown and when Boogie opened a nightclub she went to work there.

Bump plus letting everyone know I plan on starting this RP after school tomorrow, which will be about 4 or 5 pm

[Saarebas]

Scratch that, I got bored and wrote up a kind of crappy into post

[The Red Seelie]

da ta character sheet completed

[Saarebas]

Hmm I'm still on the fence about accepting the grim reaper. I just think there is a chance of being OP seeing as he's you know... death itself. Plus I was going to introduce the Fables' universe form of "primordial entities", that are known as the great powers, to add some drama. Also since he is death itself wouldn't him being forced to leave the Homelands mean no one in the Homelands would die anymore?
