[OOC] Fables: After The Ever Afters

[ManoftheNorth]

So, I am still here, been really trying to find something I wanted to do, and then I remembered an ole Romanian Fairy tale I read ages ago called the Golden Stag. Could I by chance play the Stag from that Tale?

For a Synopsis of the story, I looked it up on Wikipedia for you all: The Golden Stag

And if someone felt interested, they could play his Sister.

[Saarebas]

@ManoftheNorth That looks great to me dude =) I have no problem with you playing the golden stag, I never heard of the story before but from that quick summary it seems quite interesting.

[ManoftheNorth]

Yeah, I read it a long time ago in a book while in Middle school, it really stuck out to me and have always liked it.

[Saarebas]

@ManoftheNorth Well glad to hear _{or rather read} that you found a story that clicks with you =)

Hey man-got my post done in regards to Yen Sid/the Woodlands-waitin to see what Yvain says before I finish my side of the post with Mickey (have a big chunka it done, was gonna interact with her char if shes at the roadhouse though.)

Heres what i got for Yen Sid though

Yen Sid

Yen Sid made his way among the Fables of the woodlands with the social grace of an ox; which is to say he had shown up in a suit of mismatched colors. The top part of his outfit was a light blue while his pant legs and shoes were a laughably bright orange; the memorable look topped off by a large white trucker hat that read "Honk for Hooters" that he had picked up lord knows where-Yen Sid had insisted the night before that Mickey let him dress himself for the annual party. After four hours of crying like a child and nine hours shape shifted in the form of a remote his young apprentice Mickey finally broke and granted his request.

Walking hunched over as he commonly did due to his back he talked to literally anyone that would listen-and often time kept talking long after they left. It was actually a sad sight to see for those that noticed; the haggard old man literally talking to chairs and tables half the night while a good number of guests used his odd behavior as an easy talking point. There were many laughs, but Yen Sid seemed not only unaffected but completely oblivious to the fact.

Eventually he made his way over to the table Boogie sat at people watching; his emerald green eyes twinkling in recognition at the odd man. He went to sit down beside the former monster like they were old friends and as he sat his frail hand shakily extended outwards, grasping at Boogies shoulder as he literally grunted himself into the chair with effort. Like most encounters with the old man Yen Sid spoke first. "How goes it Mr. Boogie? Beautiful celebration isn't it? I swear the Queens truly outdone herself for the harvest festival this year." Who or what he was talking about was a total mystery-apparently he was having one his mental episodes, something Boogie was all to familiar with as the old mans psychiatrist.

"Oh! Before I forget!" The old wizard practically shouted out Boogie while grabbing at him. Quickly he took his old wrinkled hands off of Boogies outfit and pulled what looked like a simple small purple "crown royal" bag out from his pants pocket. Whatever paltry gift or token the crazy old man had fit inside the tiny bag probably wasn't worth anyones time. Boogie watched as the old man reached into the tiny palm sized bag...then kept reaching, and reaching...and reaching. After a moment the old mans arm was somehow impossibly and completely engulfed within the small cloth bag, his face wearing an expression of concentration and struggle as he dug around in some unseen effort to find something; obviously magic was at work. "Now where is that...no thats not it...here?" He pulled a black cat out of the sack, the dark feline quickly hissing at him before Yen Sid shoved it back in the bag "No No...Here!" This time he triumphantly pulled out a small fancy looking box made of finely polished and darkly stained wood. He sit the gift infront of Boogie, his eyes looking at the man many people feared with both genuine appreciation and affection. "A gift for a friend, while I can still remember." He knocked the side of his head comically as his eyes began to grow hazy yet again.

Suddenly his eyes locked with Boogies, his face deadly serious as a terrified look came across his face. Just as quickly as the fearful look came it was replaced by one of pure awe, his eyes catching sight of the large elaborate fountain inside the ballroom. "My goodness. Wonderfull harvest festival."

Oh and its a box full of like, a months worth of glamor-buncha little elaborately carved wooden tubes.

@Tuxedo Fox Not gonna lie, that is a pretty great post. Already loving this silly spell slinger of yours XD Feel free to hold off on posting until you get word from Yvain so you can get a better feel what to post and it helps people who still want to join not feel like they are getting left behind.

@Saarebas

Yeah I was gonna wait till I heard from them, just wanted to give ya a taste so you could start thinkin up boogies response (since hes the only one really effected.) Lol mostly just wanted to show ya I had my postready, and like I said Mickeys is mostly ready as well-just gotta nail down the ending.

[Saarebas]

@Tuxedo Fox XD Rodger that dude

[ManoftheNorth]

Name: Eric Napier

Nickname: E, Prancer, Golden-Eyes(Rather rare, and not often said.)

Race: Human/Animal

Gender: Male. (That is a Gender, right?)

Appearance:

Eric

Fable Form

Job: (Unsure.)

Personality: Eric tries to be cheerful and joyful for other, but his nature leaves him mostly dedicated, quiet, vigilant and standing. He often has a posture and an attitude that makes him seem very powerful among others, and he always has keen eyes on broad shoulders. He tries to good by everyone, and protect those who need it most. He is often seen a a caretaker, or a peacekeeper by many means.

Fable: Eric was a boy set out int the wilds with his Sister, left alone to die. His Sister tried to warn him of the dangers of drinking water from the prints of the exalted animals in these wilds, but he finally grew too thirty and could not resist. He drank from the hoof-prints of a Stag and the water changed into a brilliant golden Stag. He lifted his sister into a tree, where he made a nest and grew up in the wilds, with her Brother watching over her. He protected his sister, through all manner of encounters, even a gypsy who tried to replace her a a Prince's Wife.

When the Adversary came knocking on the doors of his homeland, he galloped to the Kingdom of his Sister, her Husband's Father still the king but in hi old age. Stubborn to with the thought that the Adversary could be halted at the foregrounds of his land, he pleaded and begged to take his Sister and Brother-in-Law to safety, the King obliged only in the fact he trusted the Stag, having always been a vigilant and trustworthy entity in the Kingdom. Eric, the Golden Stag, took from the castle with Sister and her Husband on back, and quickly mustered the power that made him be. He looked with now glowing eyes and followed a path that shimmered in the night, it led to a thick fog wall that blanketed the land, when they exited the otherside, he found himelf carrying his Sister and Brother-In-Law on his back, and his knee shaking as he gasped and released them, falling to his knees and grabbing at the dirt, realizing he was now in human form once more. They were now apart of the Mundane world.

Abilities: Eric can speak with animals, as well as his Golden eyes can see through glamour's and magics as he desires.(If the second is too much, I am willing to change it. I just think it fits the character, fitting to his Fable and story.)

Other:
(Anything you think I missed in the other spots and you want to add)

@ManoftheNorth The only problem I have with this is that it seems like Eric and his family have only recently arrived to Fabletown from the Homelands. It is no big deal and is my bad for not saying it earlier, but Fables don't really come from the Homelands anymore and it is an incredibly rare case when they do. So if you change that little bit so he had and his sister/brother-in-law all arrived to Fabletown with everyone else then you should be good to go =) Oh also I really like his powers, they add a nice contrast to Boogie's

[Yvain]

I AM HERE, I WILL NOW READ.

[Yvain]

SORRY FOR DOUBLE POSTING, @Tuxedo Fox What do you have in mind? :)

@Saarebas

I'd like to add to what Saarebas said (although im no gm) but as of right now timeline-wise the adversary is stuck in a stalemate with the magical kingdom of...well...I cant remember the exact name (my drunk as is always...well...drunk lol) but to put it bluntly its an "indian world", characters like Alladin, Genie(?), and Sinbad. Basically the only unconquered worlds left are iether: extremely insignifigant in the Adversarys eyes (ecspecially when it comes to magic, the main reason he never bothered with earth is because we are at first glance a bunch of magicless losers) or vice versa so fucking powerful that they haven't fallen from the endless onslaught of the advessarys armies: again though...im a total drunk who is kinda just ramblin on about my 2 cents.

I would say though that its possible they "Crossed over" recently without really knowing about mundee earth/fable town-like Mickey and Yen Sid didn't meet up with other fables until years after crossing over.

Really hope this all made sense...kinda...drinking

[Tuxedo Fox]

@Yvain

Oh I was just wondering if Lola would be at the roadhouse? If she is Mickey will probably bring her a drink while making some smartass comment about wanting to bring her one before she came and stole his.

[Yvain]

@Tuxedo Fox I know some stuff of fables/the wolf among us but not to deeply. What exactly is the yellow brick roadhouse? If you don't mind me asking ^^;

[Tuxedo Fox]

@Yvain Honestly they dont mention to heavily in Fables, kinda took my own liberties with it- Ill pm ya what I got so far post wise an you should get a way better idea of if Lola would be there or not.

[Tuxedo Fox]

@Saarebas

Wanted to let ya know im super close to postin- sorry its takein so long Boss

-edit: just gotta get the final post okd by Yvain.

[Saarebas]

@Tuxedo Fox No problems dude, I'm honestly good with taking this RP slow. Gives more of a chance to draw others in.

[Tuxedo Fox]

@Saarebas

I honestly think im just paranoid about the rp filling up and me getting left behind like has happened before: just paranoid to stay ontop of it lol

[Saarebas]

@Tuxedo Fox No worries dude I know the dangers of a RP collapsing under its own weight, been there and been crushed by that far too many times. With five official players and six characters at most I would let in three to four more before closing the flood gates.
