So this is inspired by Fables yes? So if we make a character it doesn't have to follow how Fables has them?

Just wondering, this has gained my interest. In terms of characters I'd like to play Beauty/Belle if possible. Either her or Rapunzel. I got some interesting ideas for both.


Absolutely, Beauty/Belle are open as is Rapunzel

@MissCapnCrunchHm...I intend to make Hansel if you'd want to be his twin, Gretel? I'm making him a vigilante/bounty hunter.

@CrosswireInteresting idea. :)

@Lexicon I'm hoping for a fairly large group of players, that way if anyone has to leave or disappears off the face of the Earth we still have a meaty cast to work with.

Given how many people have shown interest so far however I think this is a good enough time to start. Just need some time to throw everything down with Drag and finish a map of the community/neighborhood the Tales will be centralized in.

Edit: Aaaaand apparently she's dead in the comics. Never mind. Back to the drawing board.


The roleplay is only loosely inspired by Fables/Wolf Among Us, Pugbuetter. So don't worry about any canon stuff from that. As long as the character is from some kind of urban legend or fairy tale regardless of nationality they're fair game.

We'd prefer if you didn't follow or lift how Fables handled certain fairy tales, Fantastychic. Me and Drag would really like to see players doing interesting things with the fairy tale characters they claim and giving them a unique spin.

For example. @MissCapnCrunch wanted to claim Bambi. Normally Bambi is thought of as a meek foal or the Kingly deer he grows up into. However perhaps this Bambi was left deeply haunted by the death of his mother and when he came to the New World the urban environment he was forced to live in left him little chance to escape the guilt and anger he felt turning him into a foul mouthed teenage delinquent.

Or something like that.

My Red Riding Hood and Big Bad Wolf are pretty drastic departures from how they're normally shown, but that's perfectly alright. As long as it's written and well explained then chances are we're willing to accept it if it's interesting.

@Holy Soldier Thank you! Though it was mostly Drag's idea. I just brainstormed with them and helped them out with some of the writing.

@Crosswire Yes, that's why I asked. I had my own idea for how I wanted Belle and/or Rapunzel played. Just wanted clarification

Teamwork makes the dream work, that's for sure. Really excited about this. I have a pretty unique idea for how the Boogeyman will work in this setting.

@Drag Actually, quick question, how much control do we have over who our characters were back in their respective Homelands? And, after re-reading the original post, it looks not everyone decided to participate in the Great Exodus. Is that true? I only ask because it's a fairly important part of the backstory I'm working on for Boogey.

Quite a bit control wise, though your character's Tale should *loosely* follow the series of events. it can happen in various different ways and there's room for stuff to happen after their story is "done"

The Great Exodus took pretty much every Tale to the "real world", leaving The Homelands more or less a barren wasteland, there's just some Tales who believe things were better off back there and value tradition more than anything else, if there's stuff you wanna hash out for your backstory though then feel free to drop me and/or Cross a dm

We're allowed to do double characters, yes?
You kind of sold me on my own idea of doing Bambi-
But I also would love to play with @Holy Soldier's idea of Hansel and Gretel.

@MissCapnCrunch Oh yeah double characters are fine. I'd even be up for allowing people to have three characters
(provided they aren't trying to stack their deck or something like that), but I don't want anyone to overload themselves right off the bat so there might be a bit of a wait on three. I'm glad you're interested in Bambi still XD

Can I play as the poisoned Apple in Snow White? By the magic and ingredients that made it poisonous combined with the purity of the kiss by snow white the Apple was given consciousness. The reason the poison wasn't as effective was because of Snow white's purity and that a part of that purity and clean soul negated the poison bu purging a part of the apple so giving it life. Now the apple is in search of Snow White, to feel those lips again. The apple can teleport anywhere someone thinks about it and the more people eat and die by it the more power it gains. By gathering enough power the Apple can then go and posses the prince in order to be besides snow white, forever more. Killing fairy tail characters gives it more strength. And it has the ability to corrupt people's thoughts so they find it irresistible, like a drug. No matter how much u eat, it regenerates and no matter if u crush it or bury it, as long as at least one person thinks about it, it can revive itself.

No I can't see that working out. A character who exists solely to kill others with absurd powers, no real means of meaningful interaction, and a questionable background premise wouldn't go well. Sorry.

Question: Alice in Wonderland...Fairy tale or nah? I personally don't consider it one, but I dunno. Would that count in this or no? Either way, I am confirming my interest in Beauty/Belle

I mean, it was in Kingdom Hearts which I consider a point in its favor. Personally I'd say it's tale enough for the story but that's just me

This looks fantastic and awesome. Sadly I have too much on my plate to join, but I thought I'd just give some encouragement. Hope this goes well!
