Fables: Writing The Next Chapter (OPEN)

@sweetserenity I'm more than happy for the help if you really want it.

Fables: Writing The Next Chapter (OPEN)

It looks like spoke too soon, woohoo!!

@sweetserenity I like her, a eco warrior fairy in the heart of New York seems like she will be one interesting character. The CS is a bit on the smaller side, but everything there is pretty great so I will give you my seal of approval.



You are good to move Anna over to the CS tab.

@Majoras End sorry dude, doesn't look like this is going to get much interest

Fables: Writing The Next Chapter (OPEN)

Just a bit of a bump

Fables: Writing The Next Chapter (OPEN)

@Majoras End No problem at all, I would prefer you put your heart into your CS anyways. As for who to choose... that is a hard one. It would be fun to see the twist put on either of them. Personal preference I always liked Red Riding Hood over Alice.

Fables/The Wolf Among Us RP

@Majoras End

I got a bit trigger happy and decided to go ahead and make the OOC, Soooo here it is.

Fables: Writing The Next Chapter (OPEN)

"Not all nightmares are so bad."

Name

The Boogeyman
Booker Babadook Manson

Nickname

Boogie

Species

Monster

Gender

"The name is Boogeyman, take a guess."

"They never expect a thing."

Appearance

Glamor
Boogie is a rather tall individual, standing at a slightly imposing 6'5", with a lean body build, though not overly muscle bound. His eyes are a rather uninteresting light brown, but they shift to a unsettling purple color that gives off a eerie glow whenever his emotions start to run high. Boogie's skin is a rich coffee brown in color and is decorated with a whole assortment of tattoos, all of which fit his more than a bit creepy personality quite well. His hair is a wild mane of dark brown locks and curls that hang down below his neck, he will occasionally tie it back in an attempt to tame it, that is paired with a strip of curly facial hair that runs the length of his jawline. His clothes are rather plain, consisting of an array of T-shirts, jeans, and boots.

No Glamor
Without his illusion Boogie's true form is... less than appealing to look at. Appearing like a monster that just stepped out of a nightmare Boogie truly lives up to the reputation of his name. Towering over others at a mindboggling twelve feet tall the horrifying creature literally fills the room with terror. The living horror is a skeleton like creature that is covered in a thick black pelt and is shrouded by a foul black miasma that seeps out of him at all times. He has a slew of tentacles and arms that are constantly writhing within the miasma. His teeth which are jagged fangs go perfectly with the monstrous claws that make up his hands. He has four horns that sprout and curl from his skull. His three empty eye sockets only hold small purple flames that act as the creature's eyes. Only adding to his unsettling nature the monster glides and slithers across the floor, getting rid of the thought that he has legs. Probably the most horrifying of all is the sights and sounds of snakes, rats, bats, spiders and all other manor of vermin crawling both on and in the creature.

"Appearances can be deceiving."

Job

Owner of a small nightclub called Rumors.

Personality

As you might expect from someone who use to spend his days prowling under the beds of unsuspecting children Boogie is cut from a very... different cloth than most. He has a plethora of what he likes to call quirks, such as his tendency to sleep under beds rather than on them or his sweet-tooth for insects and rats. Boogie has a complete, and more than slightly disturbing, memorization of the big book of phobias, but this doesn't stop him from rereading it. His dark interests are paired with his unnerving cool demeanor, Boogie being able to approach and speak about the most morbid of topics without batting an eye. He has been able to curb his once malicious nature to that of one that is more mischievous, having replaced his former hobby of kidnapping and eating children to simply replacing their candy with chocolate covered bugs. All of his less reputable aspects aside Boogie does have a side that wouldn't make people toss there lunch when it is shown. He has quite the loyal heart and once someone shows that they are worth giving it to nothing in hell would keep Boogie from helping them, though this help would be in Boogie's little twisted way. And quite shocking to most he is quite the romance novel reader, says that those are the true horror stories.

Fable

The creature that stalked those foolish enough to venture out at night, that lurked under the beds of children while they slept awaiting its chance to strike, that breathed fear into anyone that gazed upon it, that devoured whole villages and created cacophonies of shrieks that shattered the minds of the bravest of heroes, all of these were one monster and Boogie was proud to be this monster. The then Bogeyman plagued the Homelands, wandering the lands and spreading fear to anyone that crossed his path. Some nights eating a whole family, others kidnapping children that he had heard were misbehaving, it all depended on the fiend's whim. No one quite knew the monster's origins, till this day he had remained tight lip about it, but one thing for certain is that whatever gave birth to this creature unleashed a horror upon the world. The Monster's rampage would of certainly went on unchecked if it wasn't for the even greater threat of the Adversary's conquest of the Homelands.

War was a whole new form of terror, a form that even the Bogeyman couldn't approve of. So like many of the then monsters of the time Boogie did his best to thwart the Adversary's efforts at any chance he could, the occasional slaughtering of some troops here the devouring of supporters there. But also like many others Boogie realized that he had to leave the Homelands, so with a bitter taste in his mouth Boogie came to the Mundane world and abandoned his monstrous ways in the sake of peace.

Boogie spent decades trying to adapt to human ways of living, in all honesty he has still yet to master it. Doing odd jobs, from trash-man to butcher, to get by. Occasionally having to dip into the less than upstanding fields in order to make ends meat. He has occasionally been called in by the town's sheriff, and others who can afford to hire him, in order to put his old skills of intimidation and fear in order to assist with interrogations. Recently he has been able to save up enough money to open up his own little bar just outside of Fabletown.

"Things aren't looking too good for you."

Abilities

"No Freak Stays Down For Long."
Like many monsters Boogie is made of a sturdier stuff than most, even by Fable standards. Being stronger, faster, and even healing faster than others.
"Can't Touch A Nightmare"
Boogie is able to shift his form to that of a cloud of black fog, identical to the mist that surrounds his true form. While in this state Boogie can move much faster as well as slip through the tiniest of openings.
"It's All In Your Head"
Boogie is able to create allusions within the minds of others so vivid that they are unmistakable to that of real life.
"Let Me slip into something a bit more... comfortable"
Boogie can change his form as he sees fit. Being able to mimic people, animals, or even things that are a bit more... monstrous.
"I Can Smell The Fear On You"
Boogie literally has a sixth sense when it comes to detecting the fears of others. He is able to sense a person's fear manifesting itself in a plethora of ways, for example a person with a fear of being buried alive might reek of dirt or someone afraid of drowning would appear slightly damp to Boogie.

Other

"Once upon a time I was a hell of a Monster"

Fables: Writing The Next Chapter (OPEN)

"Our stories use to be so simple. We had a beginning, a middle, and a end... But ever since we moved to this damned city everything has gotten so confused."

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 come to the mundane world, our world. We will play as the residents of the small community called 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 super-duper-nothing-can-break shield was on!"
2. This one goes hand in hand with the first rule. When you are making a character don't go over board, as in being the Big Bad Wolf is one thing but being the Grim Reaper and embodiment of death is a whole other thing. Trust me it has happened before.
3. 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
4. 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
5. Let us know if you're going to be gone for an extended period of time, I don't mind it just keeps people from being stuck in post lock
6. Put Once upon a time somewhere in your CS to show you read the rules
7. My Co-GM for the RP is @sweetserenity, so feel free to come to use with any questions
8. Feel free to shoot any of your ideas at me at any time I don't mind at all :)
9. Have fun!

Little bit of lore and facts

Lore- Once upon a time all the magical fairy tale characters we grew up reading about, from the fairest Sleeping Beauty to the dastardly Headless Horseman, lived in their equally magical worlds called the Homelands. They all lived their happily ever afters in the Homelands, though in some cases not so happy ever afters, until one day a monstrous being named the Adversary began to conquer their worlds with it's massive army of monsters. As the Adversary took control of more and more of the Homelands his army only grew and became more powerful, destroying or forcing whole kingdoms to join him. Those of whom who managed to escape the Adversary's grasp began looking for somewhere safe to live. Rumors of a sanctuary world began to circulate. The sanctuary world was the Mundy world, our world, where no true magic existed. The refugees who made it to the Mundy world founded a community that they called Fabletown in the 1600s at a spot north of New Amsterdam, the location of present day New York. King Cole, the king known from the Old King Cole nursery rhyme, was elected almost unanimously as their first mayor and served for many years. The Fabletown Compact was the founding document of Fabletown. Every citizen must sign it and under the compact amnesty is granted for all crimes committed in the past, including murder. The only person to be stricken from the compact is Hansel. To help manage and protect the fairy tale characters of Fabletown Snow White, the assistant to the Deputy mayor Ichabod Crane, tracked down the monster wolf known as The Big Bad Wolf and offered him the job as the community's protector, but only if he would be willing to take human form. The wolf accepted, took the name Bigby and the role as the town's sheriff. As the city spread, the fables had to establish The Farm for fables that can't pass as human. Eventually, the entire community was absorbed into New York. The main building of Fabletown is the Woodland apartments, it serves as housing for many of the community's fairy tale characters and is where both the mayor's office and sheriff office is.

What are the Homelands?- The Homelands are a diverse collection of worlds that were the homes to every known Fable. Each type of Fable, Germanic, Arabian, English, etc., has a unique world that houses all of the legends of that culture. There also exist magical gateways that link one world to another.

What is a Fable?- A Fable is what the fairy tale characters and creatures of the Fabletown community call themselves. Fables, unlike normal people, don't age. They tend to stay the same age as they were in their stories, such as Pinocchio stays a small boy and King Cole stays in what appears to be his 50s. Fables are also much more durable than humans, they can take a beating that would kill normal person and keep going.

What is a Mundy?- Mundy is what Fables call normal people and anything that has to do with the normal people's world, it is a shorten nickname for mundane.

What is a Glamor?- A Glamor is a form of spell used to disguise the appearnce a Fable who does not look human naturally or can't do so on their own. Glamors are provided by the witches and warlocks that live on the 13th floor of the Woodlands, though like all of their spells they are expensive.

What is the Farm?- The farm is the up state branch of Fabletown where all of the Fables who can't appear human and can't afford a Glamor are sent to live. Though it is not a prison none of the nonhuman residents are aloud to leave with out a glamor, which means most can't leave. Though there is one exception to this rule in the case of the flying monkey Bufkin, but he stays in the Woodlands 24/7. One of the rules of the farm is that Bigby is forbidden from ever setting foot on it's grounds because he ate many an animal Fable back in the Homelands.

Rule number one for a Fable- The golden rule for all Fables is that they do not exist. They have to do everything in their power to make sure no Mundy finds out about their existence, many dark deeds have happened to keep this a secret.

What is the Fabletown Compact?- The Fabletown compact is the document all residents of Fabletown, whether they live in Fabletown, the farm, or any where else. It erases all the crimes one committed in the Homelands, such as witches cooking kids or giants crushing whole villages.

Fables/The Wolf Among Us RP

@Majoras End

Woo Hoo! The first victim!! XD But seriously I'm ecstatic to have your interest =)

Fables/The Wolf Among Us RP

With the recent announcements made by Telltale games about their upcoming line of new releases I couldn't help but get more than a tad bit excited over the fact that one of these announcements was for no other than season two of The Wolf Among Us. If you are like me you have been waiting for quite a while, that is putting it mildly, for this news and I couldn't think of a better way of celebrating than seeing if I could strike up a good ol' fashion RP! With all that aside lets get down to the real meat and potatoes shall we? This RP will be about the every so amazingly dark and gritty lives of the members of the Fabletown community, for those of you who have no idea what in the hell what I am talking about fear not for I will do everything in my power to explain. We will be dealing with the struggles of being centuries old legends trying to live in modern times, sounds fun right? I am willing to allow people to play as characters that appeared both in the game as well as the comic book series that it was based off of, so if you want to be the fair Snow White or dashing Prince Charming they are fair game, but it is first come first served. I am also allowing OC characters, personally I will be playing one. As for timeline wise this will be taking place before the events of both the game and comics, namely because I wanted to allow people to have the widest range of character selection possible. I'm more than happy to add extra details , but I am going to hold off a bit until I see this get a little bit of interest. If you have any questions I am more than happy to answer =)
