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.

Jordan's nerds
Player Pronouns: they/them
Player Contact:
Preferred Tag Style: action but I'll match!
Monthly Pacing: I should be my usual speed; working on painting stuff as usual but life is finally settling!
OOC Limitations/Disinterests: Romance, we've got that covered
Permissions: Here!
Flynn Scifo | Tales of Vesperia | Familiar
Character Age: 22
Characer Species: Human
Character Details: He's here, he's stacked, he is 5'11" and most importantly he carries a sword all the time
Character Summary: Give a simple summary of your character, their history maybe, personality, things that you would want people to know right off the bat!
Character Role: Familiar
Character Role Deets: Flynn used to be a Legend! He makes sense as a Legend, but became a Familiar sort of by choice because internally he's tired of putting the world on his shoulders and trying to be perfect. Now he's trying to learn NOT to be perfect, and it's really really hard for him
Character Living Quarters: In Gram in a cute little cottage with Yuri & Raven
Character Schools: Flynn attends fighting classes (mostly swords & battle magic) at Agrona, and political science & debate classes at Kuma Lisa, and magic classes at Baba Yaga! Please come be his class buddy he loves homework SO MUCH.
Day to Day Life: Flynn's a busy boy taking a lot of classes and getting up the courage to be a fighting instructor at Agrona. He can often be found with little glasses doing homework at cafes or in public and if there's an extracurricular activity you can bet your boy Flynn Scifo is getting his overachieving butt involved that.
Current Mindset/Health: Flynn's doing a little better than he has been because he has a goal again: he wants to learn as much as he can here, deconstruct his own ideas of right and wrong, and take all that home with him. That's his goal and he'll do anything to achieve it.
Recent Developments: Flynn has been informed that he can, in fact, go home, or at least he can in theory, and that's huge for him. Also Yuri got back from a canon update and he died several times. He's feeling... just a bit shaky
Goals For Your Character: I want Flynn to stop trying to be perfect. He needs to let go of the stories that he tells about himself and about how the world works, let his proverbial hair down, let himself be a 22-year-old instead of an almost-leader of an Imperial military.
Problems With Your Character: Flynn has no idea how to do any of that. He's wrapped up in what he thinks he should be and what he thinks he should aim for, and he's wrapped himself so tightly in those things that unpicking them is really, really hard. He needs help with it, for sure!
Wanted CR: Folks who also tell a lot of stories about themselves, folks with identity problems, people who need a sword teacher, folks in need of a mentor / older brother figure with identity issues of his own, queer boys to talk about his feelings with???
Unwanted CR: Romance, we're covered
Open/Closed to New CR: Would love new CR and would dearly love to deepen existing CR!

maybe we can pull off a start to proper cr in the december event, whatever it brings us!
no subject
Mako | Legend of Korra / CRAU | Familiar
Character Age: 24
Characer Species: Human / squid??
Character Details: Mako's familiar attributes give him red-gold scales on his face, arms, & hands, and little horns poking up out of his hair.
Character Summary: Mako's a former sports legend & detective turned Guy Just Doing His Best, married to a thankfully-not-in-charge king, and mostly important an awkward grumpy guy with a good heart and a bad temper.
Character Role: Familiar!
Character Role Deets: As mentioned, Mako's got draconic features. While he may seem like a Myth on the surface, the boy is very caught between two worlds, and ultimately is at his happiest when he's supporting the people around him (and handling things for them).
Character Living Quarters: With Wu, currently in a little smial but probably not for long!
Character Schools: Mako hasn't dipped his toes into the school system yet but I would very much like him to
Day to Day Life: Currently, Mako's exploring! He's poking around in places, trying to figure out the lay of the land and what needs doing, probably dropping in on classes and riding the trains as far as they'll go to see what's at the end. He wants to get a lay of the land.
Current Mindset/Health: Suspicious! As! Hell! Having come from not one but TWO previous jamjars, Mako thinks he's genre aware and he's mad about it. He's physically fine, but he's on-edge and he doesn't trust anything here.
Recent Developments: Not much, but that's on me! I haven't gotten him out much.
Goals For Your Character: I'd like Mako to chill the fuck out and go to school! He never really got a chance to as a child and I think it would be good for him. More than that, I want him to establish a network and a life here, and let himself be comfortable and happy for once in his life
Problems With Your Character: Mako doesn't want to do any of that, obviously. He's a former street rat, he doesn't trust anybody but Wu and Manabu, and he isn't about to let his guard down if he can help it, so he needs some folks to help him see this place isn't all bad all the time, and some structure in his life.
Wanted CR: Friends! Little brother figures! People to tease him he's SO AWKWARD! Older mentor figures! Other morally gray folks!
Unwanted CR: He's got a boy so no romance!
Open/Closed to New CR: New new new give it to me come to meeeee
