Drop

[ Full Navigation ]

We are sorry to see you go! We hope you enjoyed your time in Folkmore. Be aware that if you drop entirely (all characters) from Folkmore you will need to be invited back in.

Please let us know you are dropping in the appropriate section below so we can process your drop.


<b>Player:</b> <B>Character Name:</b> <B>Character Journal:</b> <B>Canon:</b> <B>Character Building Status(es):</b> If your character has a building (shop, unique building purchase), do you want it to disappear or are you leaving it with other characters? If you have a building, please provide the building, its status, and if it's staying who it's being left to. <b>Pet Status(es):</b> If your character has any pets and wishes them to pass them along, please provide information about the pet and who it's being left to. <B>Characters still in game:</b>


When a character is dropped, the character will become stardust and return to space. It is unknown if the characters goes home or if they go elsewhere in the universe.

Characters will know when a character has been dropped. They will see their close CR appear to them as a stardust-type ghost, waving, before they vanish. Alternatively, they will see that their Foxi profile is no longer accessible.

Hiatus

Characters on hiatus have two options: they can either go about their daily lives or fall into a deep coma, their bodies shining like starlight, suspended in the air.

We do not allow hiatuses with an estimated period of 3+ months. If you frequently take hiatuses and spend more time on hiatus than in the game, we may ask you to drop until things have cleared up. This is in fairness to other players. We are always willing to make accommodations for unique exceptions: please just let a mod know either on this page or privately.

If on hiatus, the player will not have to check in manually; the mods will take care of it.

Please let us know you are going on a hiatus in the appropriate section below.

<b>Player:</b> <B>Character Name:</b> <B>Will your character fall into a coma or go about daily life?:</b> <B>Estimated Duration:</b> How long will your hiatus last? It's fine if you're unsure. Please understand that we cannot allow a hiatus longer than 3 months

[astralera]

Character Name: Era

Update Details: Going from patch 6.0 to patch 6.2, so she's (physically) recovered from saving the universe (for the most part), and begun adventuring again. Started investigating the Void again with some of the Scions, also has been helping investigate a dangerous research facility in the past, and also has started an adventure with G'raha where they got to meet part of the Eorzean pantheon. She also was gifted a wholeass tropical island by Tataru, which she has developed over the past few months in her downtime.

Mental or Physical Changes: Having the knowledge that she did, in fact, survive her grievous injuries back home will bring a lot of peace of mind to her. Additionally, outside of the adventures with her friends, her focus has been on improving her crafting ability so that she can better help people rebuild. So overall more at peace with things, and more practiced at just sort of... chilling.

[forestwatcher]

Character Name: Tighnari
Update Details: Update to patch 3.1, following Archon Quest Chapter III, Act IV and Cyno's Story Quest Lupus Aureus Chapter: Act I. Tighnari's appearance in this patch was fairly minimal, but it is important in keeping him updated on the current movements of his friends and allies in Sumeru. The Traveller meets him at Pardis Dhyai, a research location for the Amurta Darshan where Tighnari is currently caring for a scholar called Haypasia, and he assists them in fleeing from a group of assassins. He then suggests that the Traveller head to Caravan Ribat, while he stays behind to ensure that Haypasia remains stable. He appears at the end of Cyno's story quest to give him some paralyzing traps in the future should he need them, as he had no use for them. Tighnari also reveals to the Traveler and Paimon that he sent his ward Collei out for some ad hoc lectures about the dangers of Canned Knowledge to increase awareness.
Mental or Physical Changes: No changes!

[forestwatcher]

Player: Fiona
Character Name: Tighnari

Update Details: Update to patch 3.2, Chapter III: Act V - Akasha Pulses, the Kalpa Flame Rises.

Following the events of the 3.1 update, Tighnari stays at Pardis Dhyai tending to Haypasia. While there, he is approached by the Traveller and Dehya asking if he knows anything about the Fatui Harbinger known as The Doctor (Il Dottore). Despite their reluctance to give him all of the details of why they are asking, he agrees to help them with their enquiries and admits that he had been speaking to the man recently - Dottore had been trying to take Haypasia back to Snezhnaya with him, but Tighnari had refused the transfer. He points them in the direction that he had left in not too long ago and they go after him.

The two quickly realise that they have been misled, and return quickly to Pardis Dhyai to find Tighnari in the middle of fighting off a group of Fatui who are trying to take Haypasia by force. The Traveller quickly moves to make sure the woman is still there, and while Dehya and Tighnari are still fighting outside the Traveller converses with Scaramouche, who summons a lightning storm outside to display his power as a new god.

Tighnari is struck by lightning and injured severely enough to cause him obvious physical pain, and though he tries to protest he's fine he eventually relents and agrees to rest while Dehya and the Traveller leave to continue their quest.

Following the conclusion of the main events of the update Tighnari is seen again when the Traveller invites him to a celebration for Cyno's reinstatement as General Mahamatra and he seems to have recovered well, though he is unfortunately too busy to attend the party.

Mental or Physical Changes: Personality-wise Tighnari does not seem to have had any lasting changes, but he will now be sporting a Lichtenberg figure scar which radiates from his left shoulder and across the left side of his chest.

[obeir]

Player: Moz
Character Name: KD6-3.7
Update Details: I would like to update K with some of his memories from Deerington and Deer Country.

I'd like for K to be able to remember his friendship with Manabu Yuuki, who is currently in Folkmore as a Deer Country CRAU, and enough of his memories of Deerington/Deer Country to be able to put it in context and know the memories are real. He canonically has false implanted memories of a life he's never lived, so the distinction will be super important and meaningful to him. This might also help provide a much needed nudge toward achieving personhood here in Folkmore, but I don't intend for it to be a shortcut; I still want to fully play out his personhood arc in Folkmore. As for any other characters K might recognise from Deerington/Deer Country, I'll handle them on a case by case basis according to their players' preferences. Having him manifest his Coldblood abilities from Deer Country (basic fire, ice, lightning elemental abilities) would be fun to play with too, and since Manabu is also a Coldblood they could commiserate. Basically, all of this is meant to supplement K's development in Folkmore in interesting ways without overwriting any of it.

Mental or Physical Changes: Mentally, he'll be happy to remember Manabu and fascinated by the life he had in an alternate universe. Physically, gaining his Coldblood abilities.

[astralera]

Player: Neth
Character Name: Era
Update Details: Buried Memory 6.2 -> Gods Revel, Lands Tremble 6.3

Further investigation into the situation with the Thirteenth (more progress made in terms of understanding Zero, what happened to Vrtra's sister, and Golbez's main goal) and had a brief reunion with the twins in the process that uplifted her spirits, as well as having a chance to bond more with Zero.

Also faced another portion of the Eorzean pantheon in combat and uncovered more about them and their nature, began working with Godbert & Gerolt on relic weapons (after dealing with Hildebrand's latest adventures), and continued improving her overall crafting/gathering skills while helping people rebuild, along with keeping up with her combat training.

Mental or Physical Changes: No significant injuries. Overall her mental health has improved a bit due to having some more healthy distractions, but it's more of a temporary bandage over the trauma she still has yet to fully acknowledge and deal with. Witnessing Zero's growth has set a positive example for her that will encourage her to be more open to reaching out to others in Folkmore.

[twilight_sword]

Player: Fiona
Character Name: Dainsleif

Update Details:

Current canon point; patch 2.6 - Archon Quest Chapter II: Act IV - Requiem of the Echoing Depths
Updating to; patch 3.5 - Archon Quest Chapter III: Act VI - Caribert

Dainsleif’s next appearance in the canon is during the archon quest ‘Caribert’, where he appears in Port Ormos while the Traveller is speaking to Kaeya outside a tavern. On hearing Kaeya speaking about his surname he approaches and very brusquely reveals that Kaeya ancestor - another person carrying that surname - is the very person who originally founded the Abyss Order. Kaeya in turn points out that Dainsleif is a pure-blooded Khaenri’ahn (something that can be seen by the defined star shape of his pupils) unlike Kaeya himself, who is of mixed bloodlines (ostensibly).

Kaeya leaves and Dainsleif tells the Traveller that he is in Sumeru to investigate the ‘Loom of Fate’ after remembering something while recovering his health following the events in the Chasm (patch 2.6). The Abyss Twin had mentioned the Loom of Fate while they had travelled together some hundreds of years previously, and they had been in Sumeru at the time.

He invites the Traveller and Paimon to come with him to investigate and soon enough they come across a location in the Avidya Forest that Dainsleif realises is familiar. They find a building and an empty field and head inside the building, finding a box containing a broken mirror, a mortar and pestle, and Dainsleif notes that he can smell medicinal herbs.

While nothing seems out of the ordinary, Dainsleif insists that his instincts and his subconscious are telling him that something happened there. Some monsters gather outside, and after dispatching them Dainsleif expresses a belief that their appearance there was not random and that there must be some kind of Ley Line disturbance attracting them to the area. He leaves to explore the area around the house to try and find the source of the problem and the Traveller and Paimon stay behind.

(What follows are the main events of the quest, which Dainsleif is not present for but is filled in on later by the Traveller. There is a brief scene where he is present and speaking to the “Traveller”, trying to wake them and then realising they have been crying about their twin in the night… it is later clear that this was part of the Abyss Twin’s memory and not something experienced by the Traveller.)

The Traveller experiences an extended vision/memory of four hundred years previously, and the events that brought about the founding of the Abyss Order. Dainsleif and Paimon are trying to wake them and eventually succeed, and after being asked about Chlothar Alberich, Dainsleif tells them both that the man eventually went insane after around a century of immortality and disappeared. After relating the entire story to Dainsleif the man is clearly in disbelief despite the turmoil and power of the nearby Ley Lines (Ley Lines being capable of storing memory and emotions over a long period of time). The Abyss Twin who had travelled for so long with Dainsleif had never breathed a word of their experiences to him, but he realises that it was at around that time that they began to pull away from him and the path that they were both on.

The two of them dig up the empty field after the Traveller states that they want to know what is buried under it and find the skeletons of two people - a man and a woman - buried together. The Traveller believes that the male skeleton is the body of Chlothar Alberich, which indicates that at some point he had been able to break his curse of immortality and actually die. Dainsleif is clearly shocked by this revelation as this isn’t something he didn’t believe to be possible. He tells the Traveller that he needs some time to think and search his memories for some missing pieces, and that it would be safer for them to split up for now as “he” (something the Traveller saw in their vision) might have seen the Traveller.

While Dainsleif is not entirely certain who “he” is, he does have his suspicions and needs to confirm some details before he can be sure. He tells the Traveller that he will let them know what he has discovered when they next meet, ‘if the time is right’. Though Paimon tries to press him for more information, he dodges her questions.

(then he just leaves like the enigmatic PoS he is)

Mental or Physical Changes: Nothing in particular except that now, like everyone else in Teyvat (except the Traveller), Dainsleif has no memory of the Balladeer/Wanderer existing or of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.

[forestwatcher]

Player: Fiona
Character Name: Tighnari

Update Details:

Current canon point; patch 3.2 - Archon Quest Chapter III, Act V & inc. Faruzan’s hangout quest
Updating to; patch 3.5 - Windblume's Breath & inc. Faruzan’s hangout quest

Tighnari has a role in the hangout story released for Faruzan, where he asks Collei to bring her to see him and ends up being roped into drafting a proposal for an automated irrigation system for her. She also assists in repairing Karkata, the mechanical crab that Tighnari is keeping safe at Pardis Dhyai.

In the Windblume Festival event in version 3.5, Tighnari accompanies Collei - along with Cyno - to visit Mondstadt for the festival. Ostensibly this is to act as an escort for his young charge but he has full awareness that she has visited Mondstadt by herself many times before. During the event Tighnari has a side role in assisting Collei and the Traveller in solving a mysterious riddle, and also becomes acquainted with Sucrose and Albedo while doing so. He doesn’t have a massive role in this part of the story, but he does have a nice vacation! … Apart from when he’s having to suffer through Cyno’s jokes.

Mental or Physical Changes: As a result of events that took place in patch 3.3, Tighnari now has no memory of The Balladeer/Wanderer, and the scar he has from being struck by lightning due to a lightning storm caused by the Balladeer now occurred due to getting caught in a storm while scouting in the forest.

[shikanoinheizou]

Player: Fiona
Character Name: Shikanoin Heizou

Update Details:

Current canon point; patch 2.8 following the end of Summertime Odyssey & Heizou's hangout quest
Updating to; patch 3.3, Akitsu Kimodameshi

Heizou appears in the 3.3 event Akitsu Kimodameshi, where he assists the Traveller in unravelling a mystery and getting to the bottom of the strange, spooky events surrounding the competition taking place in Inazuma. His logical mindset and the meticulous way that he works through the clues offered to him play a vital role in the eventual resolution of the story, after which he can be found speaking to Kazuha and asking the other man if he would like to work together to solve a few cases some time.

Mental or Physical Changes: n/a

[whowillmourn]

Player: Sil
Character Name: Mayerling
Update Details: Mayerling is gaining his memories/experiences at Deer Country. That includes meeting D from an alternate universe and (months later) learning what happened to him and Charlotte in that universe, briefly being a human version of himself, being an arcane scholar, and exploring the world within Trench and beyond. He even got to meet his parents again long after they've been dead. Overall it's a very eventful less than a year's worth of memories.
Mental or Physical Changes: Mentally, Mayerling has gained new memories. Physically, his warmblood has the ability to help halt people turning into beasts and his soul can manifest an omen (in the shape of a bat). He can also turn into a squid...

Update

[scienceofthearcane]

Player: Angel
Character Name: Viktor
Update Details: Through season 2 of Arcane Viktor is systematically giving up parts of his humanity or his ability to feel any emotion when he was already isolated because of his disability. He had Jayce promise him in season one that Jayce would destroy the hex core. Season two starts on the cliffhanger that was between the seasons and the council room where Jayce, Mel, and Viktor are is hit with a rocket blast. We learned through the season that thanks to Mel's unwitting intervention Jayce is able to walk away without a scratch. But Viktor was (I believe) killed in the rocket blast. This would mean that Jayce performed some crazy necromancy on Viktor that ended up with him being fused with the hex core. So now his entire body has been changed into a mix of magic and metal. By the finale of the series, Viktor has God-like magic powers but to allow for that he has little to no human emotion. In fact, he doesn't look even remotely human. The very end of the series shows him getting Ekko's Z-drive thrown at his face, which does the impossible of breaking through the Herald enough to reach Viktor himself and then turning back the clock on whether or not Viktor can feel emotion. With that ability given back to him, he is able to see the end of the story a hair's breadth before he would have done it. The story ends with the void magic sterilizing the entire world of life. Though he thought he was following his logical side, he was really being manipulated by the hex core. And Viktor is horrified. Horrified enough to be willing to do what he is afraid of the most, die alone with no one to remember him so it will unmake the anomaly under the hex gates. In the end, Jayce wasn't willing to let Viktor die alone and both were pulled into the acceleration rune. Since that is how interdimensional travel is shown in the League of Legends franchise, I suspect we'll see one or both again sometime later. It was a really lovely ending for the show.

Mental or Physical Changes: He's been fused with the hex core and so has god-like (there is quite a bit of Messiah imagery) magic powers. From what seems like healing and creating a peaceful commune at first, we see him unwittingly making a hive-mind and it's not really that clear when he realizes what it was he was doing but still choosing to keep doing it.

He is a self-nerf in that he has these phenomenal cosmic powers but is terrified of ever using them. In gameplay, I will always get the other person's permission before he ever uses his magic on someone specific since it concerns the mind and knowing something in their memories through a single touch.
Power Changes: Yes, there definitely has been a change in the power level. The show keeps specifics very vague but we've seen several examples of him using magic on even more than one plane of existence. And I believe everyone who was connected to that same hive mind in the very end knew exactly what happened to Viktor and Jayce. Well right up until they teleported.


(I've not done a canon update in over a decade, please forgive me if I've done something wrong)

Re: Update

[folkie]

Hi Angel,

Since not all of us have seen S2 yet, can we ask for a few examples of what Viktor's new abilities can do and what its practical limitations are?

Thanks!
