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.

Ruri Hoshino | Martian Successor Nadesico | Legend
Player Pronouns: he/him
Player Contact:
Preferred Tag Style: Generally Prose, but that is because changing font size for action throws me.
Monthly Pacing: I don't expect to get walking Pneumonia again and be medicated for 3 weeks so.... Sane?
OOC Limitations/Disinterests: Please don't make Ruri do tech support.
Permissions: I'm pretty good with anything except murder.
Character Name: Ruri Hoshino
Character Age: 16
Characer Species: Human
Character Details: Everything she says is completely deadpan, and there is almost no emotion shown on her face. Unless specifically specified.
Character Summary: Ruri is a space captain from a world that is a spoof of mecha anime.
Character Role: Legend.
Character Role Deets: Her wings are digital fae ones that if she concentrates on she can hide. Which between that and the loss of the AI who acted as her ID she is a bit distracted.
Character Living Quarters: In the apartments
Character Schools: If someone could convince her to she'd probably go to a school, but right now not so much
Day to Day Life: Ruri is trying to map the area, though mostly she's doing this to distract herself.
Current Mindset/Health: She misses her AI, she's not exactly in a good mental place, but hell will freeze over before she admits this.
Recent Developments: While she doesn't believe in magic, she aquired very simple lightning magic (Like the opening of Big Trouble in Little China at the Law office and that's it) and this has her every exasperated.
Goals For Your Character: I would love CR. Maybe people her age as she has almost no experience with that.
Problems With Your Character: Ruri tends to be passive. People suggest her to do things and she does them. No one is demanding anything from her, annoying her into doing things, or suggesting ideas. She's lost. The map is just because she really doesn't trust any of the data here.
Wanted CR: Yes. CR wanted
Unwanted CR: Tech support.
Open/Closed to New CR: I'm all for everything.
