November 2022 Story of US
Story of Us: November
Announcements and Feedback
Hello Folkies! This is our monthly Story of Us post where we get together to make game announcements, ask for any feedback or suggestions, partake in character relationship memes and open up our invites for the upcoming application cycle!
Check out the bottom of this post for important dates to keep an eye on!
Announcements / Reminders
As a reminder, Milk has stepped down as the headmod and our mod team has been re-structured. If there are any issues, feel free to contact us at any time through the mod contact page.
One of the changes we are implementing today is the brand new Event suggestion and Player Plot page, which can be found in the Game Navigation from now on. If you have any events you'd like to suggest, or perhaps run a plot on your own, use that post. We would be happy to hear your ideas!
Finally, we are happy to announce the Game Feedback post! We would like to hear what you think of the game so far, possible changes you'd like to see, or perhaps any issues you would want to see addressed. This post is open to our playerbase, and with it we hope to make Folkmore a game everyone can enjoy.
Thank you very much for all of your patience and help!
Upcoming Weather for December
As we enter December, all the glitter from November starts to fade away, but the shinning stars remain, leaving the night sky bright all through the month. Kuma Lisa is still the current iteration of Thirteen, however characters will often see her in her Fox form that has now turned pure white to match the snow that covers most of the land (with the exception of Cruel Summer).
The giddy effects of Kuma Lisa are replaced with a calm and peace that Star Children might find comforting. It's more clear now that the nights are much longer than before, and the cold outside makes Star Children want to cuddle up with someone to keep warm. Despite the cold, however, the night will feel always beautiful and peaceful. Every night paper lanterns will be released to light the streets and stores all around Folkmore; these will magically remain in place until the end of the night, rather than floating away. When the day comes, they will rise up and disappear.
The days, in contrast, will feel a bit more grey and listless. There won't be a lot of light and everything seems a lot slower than usual, lacking the spirit of the night. Star children may feel a bit more depressed than usual but if they reach out to others this feeling may be eased.
As a reminder: the Anti-Hero trial is still on going until January 1st.

Invitations
Our game is invite-only which means in order to make a reserve or apply, you must have an invite from a current player in-game! Players are not required to give invites. Invites are open between the 22nd of every month and close on the 5th of the following month when applications open. All invites expire after that application cycle ends.
Players are limited to one invite per round unless they have purchased an additional invite slot through Spoons. If using an additional invite slot, please make sure to link to your purchase in your invite form.
Invites allow new players to reserve/apply to the game. Invites do not guarantee that new players will get in. Some invites may not be accepted and we will message players on a case-by-case basis if necessary.
Players only require an invite for their first application. Once they are a player in the game, they can apply as more characters at a later date. If a player drops completely from the game, they will require a new invite to get back in.
IF YOU DO NOT KNOW A PLAYER IN OUR GAME BUT ARE INTERESTED, PLEASE SEND OUR MOD JOURNAL A PM WITH YOUR HANDLE AND CONTACT INFORMATION FOR A REQUEST TO AN INVITE.
Fill out the following form and place it down below in the appropriate section.

Juu || Ken Kaneki || Tokyo Ghoul
Player Pronouns: she/her
Player Contact:
Preferred Tag Style: Action/Prose, both work but I usually do action.
Monthly Pacing: My usual pace is always all over the place! my tagging speed varies a lot, and I do not apologize for slowness and late tags. I work full time, I do art, there is always some RL stress - RP is for fun and to relax, and not the opposite. I may spend some days without tagging because of it. Naturally, if you prefer a faster tagger, it's totes fine!
OOC Limitations/Disinterests: No shipping/sex, Kaneki is taken.
Permissions: Permissions. Kaneki comes with content warnings himself, please read here.
Character Name: Ken Kaneki
Character Age: 18
Character Species: Half-ghoul
Character Details: Anything unique about them to immediately know? Maybe that they have a prosthetic, details about their voice, etc.
Character Summary: Eyepatch on the left eye. For first impressions, check here.
Character Role: Familiar
Character Role Deets: Kaneki can turn into a centipede. He has a half-form that allows him to turn into a huge centipede-boy and also a full centipede form anywhere between 12 and 40cm. Kaneki hates his familiar form so I'm always up to have people interact with it more so he doesn't feel so grossed out. He can also turn into a stubby squid if submerged by water/liquid, but this form doesn't have half-forms. More details about the familiar form check here.
Character Living Quarters: Dirk's ranch in Cruel Summer
Character Schools: Kuma Lisa, mostly taking literature classes. He also takes few classes over Agrona to learn how to fight better.
Day to Day Life: Kaneki spends a lot of time over Dirk's ranch, however he goes to school every day and likes to spend time at the library there as well. Because he cooks for Dirk, he also spends a lot of time looking up recipes and getting ingredients. he and John run a tiny stall where they sell baked goods (by john) and coffee/latte art (by ken); he is also willing to deliver home-made meals and coffee to whoever asks. And OF COURSE!!! Cooking lessons (: Also, given he is scared of his ghoul side and his familiar form as well, sometimes Kaneki just goes out into the woods or secluded areas to train or transform when he is alone.
Current Mindset/Health: Surprisingly okay! Very happy too. He has a boyfriend (who is his Myth and his soul mate) and it has been a really healthy relationship for him. Sadly Kaneki always ends up falling back into doubt and fear, so that kind of plagues him all the time - he is afraid of not being real since in their world, a version of them was left there; he is afraid this is all a made up lie by the Fox and he is afraid there is something nefarious going on.
Recent Developments: He and Sunny became brothers (adoptive!), and at the end of the month we probably will have that officially happening. Some people found out he is a ghoul and the world didn't end, which was cool!
Goals For Your Character: To eventually bite someone because of course.
Problems With Your Character: Not a lot right now, mostly it's always hunger related.
Wanted CR: I really want to get him settled with CR Kaneki can trust enough to open up more. He is introvert, has a very hard time getting close to people despite being nice to everyone and so I want him to meet others he can talk to, feel close to and be with. because Kaneki without people to rely on is like someone spiraling down he is terrible at being alone; kaneki has a lot of trauma going on and he is a sad boy who tries his hardest to be kind and gentle towards e v e r y o n e. He is very VERY lonely too, and while he has a hard time connecting to other people, he just wants to be loved.
- Non humans: Non humans, monsters, and alike. Negative or positive, it's all good.
- Monster hunters or people who'd not like to know there is a cannibal around GUESS WHAT MY ARMS ARE OPEN (kaneki's not so much )= )
- Manipulation~ basically Kaneki is way too fucking nice and while that's!! great!! it also means there is a big chance here to manipulate this boy. Kaneki is easily manipulated and makes some bad choices in life; I'm 100% okay with someone making use of that.
- Mentors, parental figures, FAMILY. oh boy do you know how desperate kaneki is for those please adopt him
- Friends because FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC even when your friend eats people so basically be his friend pls
- Big brother. Kaneki likes children and is willing to adopt younger kids and take care of them!
- Training, because kaneki really wants to get stronger and get a hold of his powers better
- Extroverts! Someone to get him out of his shell. Look, I admit, it will be hard, he is a wallflower, but that of course means he needs someone to push him around and get him to do silly stuff
- BOOK CLUB. Kaneki loves books, if you mention them, get ready for him to nerd at you nonstop
- PHILOSOPHY TIME? Philosophy time. If anyone wants to have a more deeper conversation about nature and what makes someone a "person" he is your guy too. He has been transformed into a ghoul and then into a squid and then back into a ghoul THERE ARE A LOT OF FEELINGS HERE. Kaneki is also the epitome of loneliness and trauma, and he just... really is desperate for a connection, but tends to be quite nice towards those who feel the same as he do.
- Trauma train! Kaneki has SHIT LOADS of trauma, from parental trauma to dating trauma (last pretty girl he went on a day with tried to eat him), to loneliness, abuse, torture, etc, etc etc. Kaneki does not think he is traumatized but holy hell he is a mess. If anyone wants to try touching that - or even call out Kaneki on his denial - absolutely up for it!
- Healing magic!! Kaneki got a fancy new power in October and still needs to train it better.
- Plants, food, coffee and more! Kaneki has a greenhouse and does amazing coffee, it's always a good excuse to meet people.
Unwanted CR: none!
Open/Closed to New CR: Always open!
no subject
Also if you're interested in having him train with Thena I'd be down for that!
