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.

Heather's Boys
Player Pronouns: she/her
Player Contact:
Preferred Tag Style: I'm fine matching whatever
Monthly Pacing: Usually, 2-3 days, but November and December, you'd be better served assuming 3-4 (and sometimes 5)
OOC Limitations/Disinterests: While I'm totally fine with the boys having sex, I'm not into threading it out.
Permissions: They have individual permissions pages which will be linked below!
Loki Odinson | Marvel Cinematic Universe
Character Age: 1095 (He looks really good for his age)
Character Species: Jotun (Frost Giant)
Character Details: He rarely sounds sincere, even when he's being sincere. He also has very strong magic, and anyone who's able to sense that would most likely feel it in his presence.
Character Summary: Loki is the literal God of Mischief in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He's playful, flippant, chaotic, and tempestuous. He's strong, he's durable, and he's known as the most powerful magic user in Asgard (which doesn't technically exist anymore, but ya know).
Character Role: Myth
Character Role Deets: Loki is growing horns much like his helmet, but he hides them using his magic, most of the time (unless a mischievous fox decides to disable it)
Character Living Quarters: 22 Gram
Character Schools: He teaches conjuration and astral projection at Baba Yaga
Day to Day Life: Most days of the week, Loki can be found either in his classroom or his office at Baba Yaga. He also has a very nice collection of books in that office, so he's often reading. On the weekends, he spends time at the Prancing Pony as it's become a favorite.
Current Mindset/Health: While still adjusting to life in a place like Folkmore, he's acclimating rather well, making friends, and all around enjoying his time here, all things considered.
Recent Developments: Loki has gained a new ability from the Baba Yaga trials in October: he now has telepathy!
Goals For Your Character: I have nothing planned and will go with whatever flow
Problems With Your Character: He is struggling to master his new ability
Wanted CR: I love found family, and it's tough with Loki being, well, himself, but I'm down with anything
Unwanted CR: anything at all!
Open/Closed to New CR: Always open to new CR

Right now I'm taking advantage of Emporio still being stuck with the Anti-Hero challenge (I THINK? I Think, we'll see if backdated threads make a mess there OOPS) so that I can push him out and about more so hopefully....that in itself means they could feasibly run into the other,
and like honestly, I too am a sucker for found family, (And Emporio's bar is as low as it gets,)
I guess on that particular note, is anything in Loki's current powerset likely to poke uniquely at people dealing with Anti-Hero, you think?

But yeah, I can't see anything that would say otherwise..? I could probably drop in a question but it at least feels like that should be the case, which could make for a neat first encounter!

I can send my top level over if that works?

Balthier | Final Fantasy XII Zodiac Age
Character Age: 22 going on 60
Character Species: Hume (human)
Character Details: Everything about him is sculpted, from his perfectly groomed hair and sideburns to his pressed shirt, clean shoes, and jewelry.
Character Summary: Former noble turned sky pirate/leading man with an eye for treasure and a heart of gold. He's also charming, dashing, and somewhat particular.
Character Role:
Leading ManLegendCharacter Role Deets: He is able to manifesting a pair of tawny wings at his shoulders, but he's yet to do
Character Living Quarters: He and Fran newly reside at Leshy 503
Day to Day Life: While still becoming acclimated in his new life, Balthier is quick to adapt and spends his days either in one tavern or another listening for tidbits of information worthy of exploration or doing that exploration, keeping tabs on the Runic, because it is quite a source of information itself.
Current Mindset/Health: Perturbed at being misled (in his perception) when being lured here, but otherwise acclimating. Fran's presence helps.
Recent Developments: Nothing specific, though he's on the verge of learning he can manifest wings.
Goals for Your Character: Same as Loki, nothing solid, though I'm still establishing connections for him so we'll see if that changes.
Problems with your Character: None, actually
Wanted CR: I'm still getting him established so I welcome any and all CR
Unwanted CR: Flirtation is always going to happen with Balthier, but he has eyes for his viera partner
Open to new CR: always and forever
