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

Re: Update

Viktor's new body

Even if he seems calm, I believe that Viktor was devastated by Jayce fusing him with the hex core. It means that his entire body is a mix of magic and metal. In gameplay, I'm keen to explore what that means.

The first time Viktor heals people

He first ends up in the leper colony of Shimmer (a street drug) addicts and that is how he starts building his commune. He is also unwittingly creating a hive mind because as he heals the body he's taking over the mind.

Viktor tries to help Warwick

As you can tell, Viktor is himself when on the astral plane. I will play him like his ability to emote is being muffled by the hex core, but he's still in there. It might be possible to remove it in gameplay at a much later date since when he's an old man both his magic looks more unique and he has golden eyes again.

Viktor's ability to know what people are thinking with a touch

Viktor rarely touches people and it's even less likely now that his body has been radically changed to metal. In gameplay this would only be applicable if the other player wants it.

I can't find a YT clip of him using magic to affect the 'real' world while on the astral plane, but that's after the point that he decides human emotion is a problem, which the finale proves otherwise.

Series finale and old man Viktor

After canon update he will have seen that the multiverse is a thing. He's shown to be ridiculously OP which is the polar opposite of being a sick and disabled man who was physically weak. But in gameplay he's now truly terrified to ever use any of the magic he can access on organic people, so he will spend the majority of his time re-learning which emotion goes with what reaction. Right now, it's all a chaotic storm and though he might seem calm, it's overwhelming to him. It may be possible to actually heal AI and robotic people since in season 1 he's shown to have an affinity for making clockwork and robotic toys before he starts studying magic. And he wouldn't be able to take control of their minds if he used his magic to heal them, but again, that would be up to the other player.

Hello Angel,

Thank you for those examples. They are helpful. We are fine with the abilities you've explained happening in canon: healing people (and forming a mental connection), doing magic on the astral plane, reading minds with a touch, and the physical changes in his new form.

We don't see a basis for Viktor to affect AI/robotic people since Arcane, unlike some other parts of the League of Legends multiverse, excluded robots. That is something he would need to learn how to do from another character in Folkmore or purchase as a new ability.

With those notes, this update is approved!

Shoot, the last clip didn't post because of HTML fail and I've since done other stuff on YT and can't find it.

The robot stuff was because Arcane departs so radically from the old lore for League of Legends. I was jazzed for Viktor to become a cyborg, but Riot has since retconned Viktor and changed him into 'The Herald of the Arcane' which has caused a ton of discourse in LoL. But! Learning that robots/AI are safe for his magic from another character can definitely be a thing!

Thanks ya'll :D
