I took a lot of interest in the Telltale Game called The Wolf Among Us, and fell in love with the lore! So I started to do some (very small) research on the comics the game was based off of, "Fables"

For those who don't know, the plot goes something along the lines of this:

All the fairy tales and folklore, and nursery rhymes that people have been telling for years are actually real, and live in a place called the Homelands, a very large world separated in kingdoms and regions. Most of the Fables were exiled from the Homelands by the Adversary, who conquered most of the kingdoms. Most of the Fables moved to North America, and settled in what would eventually become New York City in 1665.

Fabletown is split in to two regions, Bullfinch Street in the Upper West side of New York, and a place called The Farm, a place where animal Fables and fables who can't be disguised with magic live.

For centuries the Fables have lived here, and have been ruled by a democratic type government lead by King (now Governor) Cole, Ichabod Crane, and Snow White. And the person in charge of keeping all these fables from killing each other is the legendary and feared Big Bad Wolf, known today as Sheriff Bigby Wolf. The town goes through things just like any other place, corrupt government, gangs, poverty, and all are trying to make it through their very long lives.


--

That's the main plot! I really think this would be a fun RP to do! I'll provide a list of all the fables and their backstories if you have one in mind, and I want it to be very clear that we don't have to follow any of the games/ comics play by play, we can always mix up the characters a bit, and make it our own while still giving credit to the characters created haha

Here's a very large list

I'd also like to point out that Fables are very tough to kill, but they can be. Some even can be brought back to life if their legend is still popular with non-Fables,(AKA: Mundanes, or "Mundy's") For example, characters like Snow White or Beast from Beauty and the Beast could possibly come back to life after a while if somehow killed.

And some characters didn't make it to Fabletown, or went somewhere else in the world, or just died long before the Adversary took control!


is anyone interested SO FAR? If you have any questions i'll do my best to answer them, and in the OOC it'll be more detailed haha

Just a little research? There is quite a lot of lore to the comic series to just gloss over. Which is something I've seen a lot of lately. People getting interested only after the game, then they realize there is some 150 + total issues and shirk away from all that reading. But I will keep an eye on this and make my decision later.

Don't need to get so hostile man haha. Its true, a lot of people got a spark of interest after the game because it was awesome! And thanks to the game it got me interested in to the comics!

It's also true that i will probably never have enough free time to read all of those comics that have such a deep story line to them, but that doesn't mean i won't stop trying to understand the world! And It'll be interesting to play in this, and have others have their own spins on characters, you know?? The point of this site is to have fun, so me starting to learn about this world and try to make a fun RP out of it shouldn't be a bad thing haha

Feel free to join in though if you're interested later on though man! It'd be nice to have someone help out if i do make a mistake on this great series!
