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.

Meghann | Fran, Lorna, Thena
Player Pronouns: She/Her
Player Contact: DM or discord
Preferred Tag Style: Either or, I'll match whatever
Monthly Pacing: Usually get to one or two tags a day! More if we're around at the same time sometimes!
OOC Limitations/Disinterests: Nothing really, though probably going to to try to wrap up the October stuff since it's been A Lot! Other than that definitely open to anything at all.
Lorna
Character Age: 30s
Characer Species: Mutant
Character Details: Very vivid green hair
Character Summary: Lorna is a mutant from a world where the world absolutely hates them. After a disaster involving mutants occured anti-mutant laws were put into effect that made it basically illegal to use your powers or just...be a mutant at all. She fought with the Mutant Underground to try to co-exist until she decided that co-existing probably wasn't actually going to ever work. While she dreams of a mutant homeland where they're free to just be themselves, she couldn't actually bring herself to sacrifice her own kind for that dream.
Character Role: Myth
Character Role Deets: She's got horns that are developing that are shaped like a pronghorn, similar to a headpiece she wore in 616 canon.
Character Living Quarters: She's actually found a place to settle down in Gram and is working on fixing that up. She does have really bad nightmares sometimes so if any neighbors want to say their metal shakes now and then or lightbulbs explode, feel free!
Character Schools: Got a job working at Baba Yaga's school and...badly helping people with their powers. Sometimes not so badly!
Day to Day Life: Due to how paranoid she is, she's spent a lot of time wandering around trying to learn as much as she can. She's also spending a lot of time at the school.
Current Mindset/Health: She's doing alright-ish all things considered. Kind of enjoyed the trials and being able to make it through them even without her powers. Very depressed over the holidays without her family though.
Recent Developments:The trials have given her some power enhancements more inline with her 616 counterpart that she's going to be curious to learn more about. She's also a mixed bag for how she feels about Thirteen. On one hand she gets the trials and how they were run, on the other it seems a bit harsh and she feels a bit like some vital information was left out.
Goals For Your Character: Learning more about her powers and the limits she may have, teaching more people who have powers and taking them under her wing as a big sister type figure, and building more friendships up!
Problems With Your Character: Lorna's just going to completely ignore any sort of problems and bitterness she may have, that's just how she is. She'll probably take her frustrations out on random pieces of metal she finds throughout Folkmore.
Wanted CR: People she can Big Sister in the Worst Way Ever. She's especially fond of people with powers or nonhumans, but humans who have definitely Seen Shit definitely work too. She's protective, supportive towards pushing people to just be themselves no matter what that means, and really openminded towards people's pasts/powers. She's very much the type to encourage someone to not hide parts of themselves no matter what those parts are. Some friends her own age would be great too, as well as people for her to actually talk to about the complexities of her life and the choices she made. People who might challenge her on if she actually made the right choices or not. Also potentially romance or a fling with someone who wouldn't mind that she's a complete and utter disaster with way too many issues. She's lonely. Sarcastic friends to be sarcastic with.
Also people to realize she's given two different names. She needs to pick going with one someday but she's been a bit back and forth.
Unwanted CR: Nothing!
Open/Closed to New CR: Completely open to all new CR. I occasionally draw little cute doodles of CR if I get in the mood so CR for art sometimes haha

Thena
Character Age: 7000+
Characer Species: Eternal
Character Details: Vaguely British accent and uh, check out her permissions, it's got information about her appearance.
Character Summary: It's said in her world that a lot of stories about Athena were based on Thena, though she really likes to remind people to leave out the 'A'. She was known as the warrior Eternal and her role in life for a very long time was war. Unfortunately, this means she kind of has very little experience in just socializing. This was not helped by her development of Mahd W'yry, an illness unique to her kind that basically causes her to forget when she is and to lose control. She enters a trance-like state where she'll just attack anyone around her. To protect everyone around her she and her partner went into exile for the last five-hundred years.
Character Role: Legend
Character Role Deets: She'll be getting wings eventually that resemble owl wings and fold like a cape.
Character Living Quarters: She's trying to find somewhere that's going to be safest and away from people. So any suggestions might be good.
Character Schools: None at the moment
Day to Day Life: Thena's just trying to learn things about this world and well about the world in general. She's trying to master using the relic. She likes the cat café and she really likes Exile.
Current Mindset/Health: Thena is trying her best to adjust to how strange the world is and to being alone. She's never been alone and it's a struggle for her to not juts go off on her own and isolate herself completely.
Recent Developments: Nah, she's still very new so nothing major as of yet.
Goals For Your Character: I would like her to find people she can eventually open up to more about her Mahd W'yry and that may help her to learn how to deal with it. I'd also really like her to fight, to really cement to herself that she is still Thena the Warrior Eternal and for her to find a purpose. What that purpose may be is kinda up in the air, but potentially mentoring some Legendary budding young hero?
Problems With Your Character: Mentally she's just struggling with a need for isolationism and with just how much she misses her partner from her world and the other Eternals. It's weird being without them.
Wanted CR: Friends, people to teach her about modern things and show her how to be 'normal'. Teach Thena how to just go shopping and relax and have fun. Someone please. Maybe introduce her to relaxing hobbies, she likes art and has been shown to draw in canon so maybe expound upon that some. Maybe find some people to teach who want to learn combat from someone that has 7000+ years of experience. Or people that want to fight her in the pits. People she can open up to about the Mahd W'yry, what happened with her partner, and that she can eventually trust to stop her if she needs it. People to teach her what to do now that she has the chance to just choose to do whatever.
Unwanted CR: Nothing!
Open/Closed to New CR: Completely open, she needs friends!
Fran
Character Age: Don't ask
Character Species: Viera
Character Details: She has rabbit features, giant ears, bunny nose, long claw like fingernails, and she wears stiletto's because it's practical to her people! (That is...actually Square's explanation)
Character Summary: Have you played FF14? Half of the ideas from there are just an extension of things from FF12. It's basically Star Wars with some more fantasy elements thrown in. Fran's a Viera that left the woods which is a BIG no no and she travels around with a hume Sky Pirate keeping him out of trouble as best she can. Then they got wrapped up in a major war between the Empire and crazy god things and Freedom.
Character Role: Familiar
Character Role Deets: She can turn into a GIANT bunny and I really want people to see this. It's giant.
Character Living Quarters: ....tbd
Character Schools: She does not
Day to Day Life: At the moment she's exploring and testing out her familiar transformations.
Current Mindset/Health: She's fine, curious about this place and the people here.
Recent Developments: She's super new so nothing recent other than arriving and trying to figure things out.
Goals For Your Character: I'd really love for her to actually make some friends, people she may eventually open up to and discuss the cons that came with her decision to leave the Wood. She's kept most of that to herself for a very long time so it'd be nice for her to have some deeper conversations that touch on her more personal feelings.
Problems With Your Character: Fran is a VERY reserved person so getting her out there will be a tiny bit hard. So anyone that might help in running into her or being perky and forcing themselves on her or anything like that would be great.
Wanted CR: Friends, people to mentor, anything at all really! I'm open to it all. People to talk familiar things with. People that will flirt with her that she can turn down.
Unwanted CR: Nothing really.
Open/Closed to New CR: New always!
