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.

qi | edward teach | our flag means death | myth
Player Pronouns: she/her
Player Contact:
Preferred Tag Style: Either, but action spam is better for shitposting piracy
Monthly Pacing: Spotty but faster than last month
OOC Limitations/Disinterests: Nothing springs to mind
Permissions: Here
Character Name: Edward Teach aka Blackbeard aka The Kraken aka Jeff the Accountant
Character Age: late 30s-early 40s (37 per the wiki)
Characer Species: Human
Character Details: He's wearing all the leather, and he's wearing black on black on black. Other important trademarks are big ol' beard, big ol' hair, and big ol' covered in tattoos. Now that it's cold, he'll probably be walking a little awkwardly (the brace on his bad knee is visible but also black on black). Also "new" (post-1718) tech is baffling to him, but he's learning in fits and starts because of all his modern friends, and because a kind soul helped set up his relic so he can just yell at it and it'll do reading/writing for him.
Character Summary: Imagine Blackbeard, but make it a pirate romcom but keep the fact that he's legitimately dangerous to other human people in and around alt-history 1717. Essentially he's The Baddest Pirate Of His Era, has recently been turned on to what it is gentlefolk are all about, and is plotting his retirement into that fancy lifestyle (possibly by doing a murder probably not but tbd like circle back on that).
Character Role: Myth
Character Role Deets: He's spent his life literally cultivating this wild and violent aesthetic that already fits, but lately he's been growing horns about it. Also he's spent his life literally cultivating "being the villain" and was just recently confronted with Other Options, so living in that struggle is delicious to me.
Character Living Quarters: A (now solo) cottage in Gram.
Character Schools: His former roommate was dragging him to magic-type classes but he definitely quite post-vanishing.
Day to Day Life: Fight pits, because he's been hemorrhaging people who will punch him in the face and enjoy being punched in the face by him. He also haunts around food and tends to be randomly lounging in high places (particularly his own roof).
Current Mindset/Health: A MESSY ANGRY OLDER GENT WITH LESS OF A HANDLE THAN USUAL ON HIS RAGE ISSUES!! Also though he's moving sort of slow because he did get his buddy to stab him for a talent show (you know, very normal, as you do sort of things), and he's not 100% he trusts magic healing not to vanish abruptly and leave him in a bad way.
Recent Developments: His co-captain vanished! Also several of his good buddies here vanished at roughly the same time! He's sort of lashing out about it and maybe going to be a little possessive about current CR/mistrustful of new CR! Also also at least for a little while he's going to have been disembodied while the most condensed and violent version of himself runs amok, so people may not find him super chill and approachable just now.
Goals For Your Character: Confronting his own narrative! Edward has carefully curated himself into an idea that's bigger than a person. Time with his new canon bestie was beginning to make him question how much he actually is the idea vs a distinct human person and what all that even means for his life. Coming here has upped that ante because it's like! a key PvE question!! Now that his canon bestie is gone, he's regressing, but I'd like to keep pushing him into situations where he keeps grappling with who he's made himself into vs who he actually is vs who he could be vs who he wants to be. It'll require a lot of soft CR growth and also a lot of really ugly CR growth for his backsliding (so anyone who wants to be impressed into a ship that doesn't exist, apply here).
Problems With Your Character: Getting out of his 'Look What You Made Me Do' era, tbh
Wanted CR: Buddies to punch and be punched by. Buddies to drink with. Buddies to tentatively reopen his most recent panics with. Not-quite-buddies who want to be in a pirate crew! Not-at-all-buddies who think he's a bad dude and will tell him to his face (and then there's probably punching)! Misc mentees he can impart his ancient wisdoms to!!
Unwanted CR: Nothing really, but let's be good and ooc-communication-y about negative nonsense. o/
Open/Closed to New CR: Both!

These two don't know each other at all but if Jayce noticed that he's got trouble walking with the brace, he could offer to make Ed a new, better one. He's got experience because his partner in canon wears one as well. And also Jayce likes to help people.
Also if he wants to hang out with another dude who dresses fancy and has the manners of the upper-ish class, Jayce's your guy.
no subject
Also yes hello he is a fan of those are there yet more Posh Trends to learn about
no subject
But that's ok, Jayce is used to his partner Viktor never admitting he needs help, and he knows how to more or less handle difficult people. Rolfmao, Ed. It's not as if Jayce would even expect a thanks in return, he just likes to help improve lives, it's all good. He could spin in it and say he's doing it to keep his forging skills sharp?
Jayce can tell him all about how to behave at social parties, even if Jayce himself hates those with a passion.
no subject
Also wow okay Edward is great at social parties? He's only ever been a very successful guest and only needed to be saved a little bit??
no subject
Honestly, he did great at the party if you ask me. Especially because most of the people there were very punchable.
