[OOC] Fables: After The Ever Afters

[Phloem]

Cool, would Thoth be a viable choice for a character? Just so he isn't totally overpowered, I was thinking of having his powers be prayer-based, since Ancient Egyptian polytheism hasn't been a thing for about a thousand years or so. He'll probably be pretty close to a regular Fable, with technological abilities. And maybe some minor shape-shifting into an ibis/baboon? Of course, if that's a no-go, I'd be happy to come up with something else. :D

[Red Wizard]

Not trying to interfere with the GM, but gods... are they to be considered as Fables? If so, could a player have Jesus as a character?

[TimeToRP]

Not interested anymore! Sorry!

[Zobozun]

Well, Great Bird Spirit, the Devil, and the Winds. The Fates, Herakles, and Tiamat are also mentioned at points IIRC.
Of course they're all bastardized to the point of being unrecognizable but that's par for the course in Fables.

[Saarebas]

@Phloem Hmm I am not sure if I can allow a full fledge god into the RP. I was iffy on letting Guan Yu because of his "god" statues but given that he is just a very honored warrior, to the point he is worshipped like a god, he is less imposing. Thoth on the other hand is a full fledge deity, not just thought of as a god but actually is one. Sorry but I won't be able to allow him though I am more than open to allowing one of the many heroes and monsters that are also in Egyptian mythology

@TimeToRP Sorry to hear that and no problem, best of luck to you in your other RPs :)

[Zobozun]

I think it's less he's a very revered warrior and more that he's an actual god, but the eastern definition of "god" is very different from Judeo-Christian or Greek gods. Minor Shinto gods especially are a lot closer to guardian spirits or ancestor worship than full-fledged deities.

[Saarebas]

@Zobozun That is what I meant, sorry if I was unclear or offended you with that definition. What I meant as god is immensely powerful being with unmeasurable amount of power, such as the Egyptian who are known to do incredible nearly unthinkable things with a wave of the hand.

[Professor_Wyvern]

Eh asking a quick side question but when would we expect the game to start?

[Saarebas]

@Professor_Wyvern I am still waiting on two people who showed interest to throw up their CSs, but if they don't get them up in time I will start it up Monday or Tuesday

[Dirty Dan]

Ah, I should get Bigby up soon. My bad.

Edit: Actually, I fear that, if I join, I may not stay faithful [ pun there ] so I must give up the Bigby spot.

[Saarebas]

@Dirty Dan That is no problem, but just to clarify does that mean you are just not playing as Bigby or you are withdrawing your interest altogether?

Biancabella & (Samaritana)

Nickname:
Bianca or Bella

Race:
Humanoid Fable; Chimera/Hybrid

Gender:
Female

Appearance:


Job:
Zoo Reptile Handler/Presenter

Personality:
Bianca is gentle and kind, loving to all those around her even when they mean to do her harm since she is very trusting. Bubbly and always on the bright side even with all her quirks or dark days. She isn't the only one to worry about though since Samaritana is still just below the surface, protective and vicious especially when angered wither it be her own anger or Bianca's.

Fable:

Once Upon A Time

Original Fable Link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biancabella_and_the_Snake

Once upon a time....there was a girl born with a snake around her neck and people were in fear by the strangeness of it. The snake quickly fled to the garden for safety, harming not one person on its way out though that didn't stop them from trying to kill it. The newborn was named Biancabella and many stayed away from the young girl, the story of her birth spreading.
When she was but the age of ten, a snake from the family garden spoke to her and told the young girl that she was her sister,Samaritana. She told Biancabella that if she obeyed her every word, that her life would always be filled with happiness but that if she did not obey, that misery would be her life. This brought distress to Biancabella and she promise to obey what ever her sister asked of her. The snake then ordered her to bring two buckets, one of milk and one of rosewater. When Biancabella returned to the house, she was still so distressed that her mother asked her what made her so sad. Biancabella asked for the buckets, which her mother gave her just wanting to see the other smile and Biancabella carried them into the garden. The snake then had Biancabella bathe in the buckets. She became even more beautiful, and then magically when her hair was combed it shed jewels, and when her hands were washed, they shed flowers.

This attracted many suitors. Finally, her father agreed to marry her to Ferrandino, King of Naples. After the wedding, Biancabella called on Samaritana, but the snake did not come to her. Biancabella realized she must have disobeyed her and grieved for the snake but ended up leaving with her new husband. Ferrandino's stepmother, who wanted to marry him to one of her ugly daughters, was enraged. Some time later, Ferrandino had to go to war; while he was gone, his stepmother ordered her servants to take Biancabella away and kill her, bringing back proof of her death. They took her away, and while they did not kill her, they gouged out her eyes and cut off her hands. Little did the stepmother know that her plan was of no consequence since Ferrandino was killed in battle.

Biancabella called on Samaritana, who still did not come. She wandered around aimlessly, trying to find safety but she had no way to see and no hands to feel her way around. She wanted to give up, just quit and lay down to die but she fought on. She hoped that maybe Ferrandino would find out of his step mother's treachery and be punished. Would he look for her or even still love her with this horrible appearance? She continued to wander for days, finally reaching a small cottage. The old man that lived there found pity on her, planning on inviting her in to stay for a bit but the man's wife rebuked the offer the man had implied. The man's wife feared that he was letting a punished criminal into their home and made him remember to think of his daughters. Biancabella said she would go but asked kindly if they would give her a small amount of food to spare and in return she would reward them. The woman refused, slamming the door shut. Biancabella could shed no tears but the pain of their actions felt like a stab at an already bleeding wound.

She fell to the ground, calling on Samaritana over and over till her voice was lost. She finally couldn't take it anymore and thought to kill herself this time. Samaritana appeared to stop her, and Biancabella appealed for forgiveness for whatever she had done to make her sister leave her. Samaritana restored her eyes and hands but at a cost to herself. Biancabella was healed but Samaritana was dying and in an effort to save her sister, Biancabella took the others soul into her own body. Samaritana was in despair at the lost of her body, taking control of Biancabella's body to get revenge on the ones that had ruined her sister's life and lead to her own.

Abilities:

• Summon and speak to reptiles
• Venomous bite
• Jewels shed from her hair when brushed
• Flowers shed from her hands when washed

Other:
We shall see...

Okay, sorry it took so long Saarebas. I hope this is okay and let me know what I might need to fix and such ^-^

[Saarebas]

@Akayaofthemoon Looks great :) approved

[Akayaofthemoon]

Yay! I'll get it moved over to character tab then ^_^

[Saarebas]

Just to give fair warning to everyone I planned on the opening post to take place at the Remembrance Day celebration, for those of you who aren't sure what that is it is basically this large ball that is held every year in Fabletown in order to honor what they have lost do to the Adversary's conquering of the Homelands. I hope that is okay with everyone.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Saarebas

That sounds completely epic so I am in for the idea ^-^

[Leolycan]

No arguments here.

[Professor_Wyvern]

Right, what's the atmosphere of the party? More dignified or lowbrow?

[Saarebas]

@Professor_Wyvern It is a high class affair, somewhere Grey would blend in well.

[Professor_Wyvern]

Right. Yeah just asking out of curiosity.

So it appears that once more, Grey returns to dancing about through the Court of the fellow Idle Aristocrat.
