Fables Among Us

Rightie!

That's the collab between myself & kit posted.

Fables Among Us

Woodlands Business Office, 9PM

Collab between; LeftClick & Kitsune

The business office was, as one might expect, a magical, fantastical room. A cluttered mess of the various trinkets and items saved from the fables previous homelands. It was here that Cole spent most of his time, and it was true that he sometimes lost himself amongst the various texts and artifacts saved from the homelands, engrossed in their histories and meaning to each particular fable. Snow did most of the actual work nowadays anyway, though this is not to say he does not care about the fables under his care, the reality is very much the opposite. Snow always seemed to have a knack for getting things done, and whilst Cole has his heart in the right place, he is blinded with his kindness and it's likely the case that if it weren't for Snows occasional reality checks for Cole, he'd be spending his time going through every minor problem that existed in fabletown, and never even getting around to the most pressing issues.

Cole had been sitting at his desk, only just beginning to relax as the day came to an end. Looking up, and seeing it was Bigby, Cole couldn't help but let out a small sigh. It wasn't that Cole didn't like Bigby, it was more the case that Cole did not like the news that often accompanied the Sheriff, and it was no different this time. As soon as Cole heard the words; 'Another has been found' he knew precisely what Bigby was speaking about.

Cole listened intently as Bigby spoke, before rising from his chair, rubbing his temple as he began to pace around the room. He did that a lot, especially when he was thinking, it was simply an old habit from his days as King that he never quite shook.

"Goodness....Another? This is concerning indeed, Sheriff. Who was she, do you have a name? I do suppose the first thing to do would be to establish an identity, Then I can have Bufkin find some information about them, and in the meantime we can have the drugged fable taken to the doctor...I think he's still around the Woodlands somewhere. "

Bigby nodded, stroking back his hair for a moment, knowing he was worrying Cole with all this and Snow would chew him out later over it but he needed to get things sorted now. "She is already on her way to be looked after by Dr Swineheart... I do have some information this time instead of just some nobod-, I mean, not alone like the last guy. Her name is Sarah, a fable from the hidden lands of japan, like that Momo girl."

Taking out his notepad for the lack of remembering the full facts he listed the few he had. "Apparently she worked as a 'working girl' at The Double D's. Nice name Max... So it seems we have a lead on just where to start." Looking around for a moment he noticed something was off "Snow not in today?" More than likely doing something important, given that she was normally here with Cole and Crane at night, mostly Cole given Crane was lazy at times...

Cole nodded solemnly,

"Well, I'm sure Dr Swineheart will do his best...Indeed, it is unusual for Snow not to be around. I believe she's having a small bit of downtime just now..She should be back soon, however. She never stays away for too long! Anyway, head to this fine establishment run by Max. Find out what you can about this poor girl, Sarah. Make it clear that full co-operation is expected from Max in this investigation!

Oh, and before you go...Try not to hurt anybody, Bigby! Self-restraint is of the utmost importance!"

When given the go ahead Bigby straightened his tie and with a nod he got ready to move out of the office, aiming for Max's place. However he was stopped by Cole as he stated that he shouldn't hurt anyone "Why does everyone always say that?..." That being said he knew why, fear was a hard thing to forget and he did not blame them really. "I will keep in touch if I find out anything important, you do the same with me. I want to see if the Doc picks anything up this time from the girl" Stepping through the door Bigby stopped for a moment before looking back "Oh and Cole... Make sure to get some sleep tonight. I will handle this"

Is it too late for me to join?

Though I'm not a GM, I've not seen anything about deadlines for applications to be in, so I think you're more than welcome to make a sheet!

Hmm, nice King Cole, however I must warn thee. You have a big part to play in terms of worrying about fabletown and hearing out the other fables. Though there is little way that I can see of getting him out and about to really do things in concerns to the story. Of course a few scenes will come to him, and if you wish you may have a second char. You being cole takes some weight off me anyway hahah. We will have to talk with each other about choices etc ^^.

I get'cha!

I took his role into consideration when creating the character sheet, as I also figured he wouldn't be as outgoing as other characters may be, though I'm happy to adopt a background role within the roleplay, and as you say, perhaps even look at playing a second fable.

Aside from that, I'll happily talk over any fluff with you regarding decisions and so-forth, and when the roleplay starts, I'm happy to do any collabs for the scenes that involve King Cole, since I suspect the majority of scenes involving him will be collaborative posts between several fables.

Fables Among Us

King Cole

"Old King Cole was a merry old soul And a merry old soul was he. He called for his bowl and he called for his pipe And he called for his fiddlers three. Every fiddler, he had a fiddle And a very fine fiddle had he. Oh, there's none so rare, as can compare With King Cole and his fiddlers three."



Nickname
Mayor / Cole

Race
Human

Gender
Male

Personality
"A Mayor is a servant of the people, not a ruler"

King Cole is a kind, and well-liked figure in Fabletown. He is the one who is responsible for the founding of Fabletown, and the tales of his selfless deeds whilst he led the initial group of fables to Fabletown had him almost unanimously elected mayor. It is said that while leading his group of fables in an attempt to flee the Adversary, he sacrificed his portion of rations to the rest of the group, demonstrating his selfless nature.

He is a cunning diplomat, and knows how to keep spirits high, allowing him to achieve relative success as the mayor of Fabletown. His darkest moment was undoubtedly having to send the fables unable to make use of the glamor to the farm, a decision that spread doubt about him amongst the residents of Fabletown, and ultimately a decision he loses sleep over to this day.

Nowadays, much of the real work is completed by his deputy-mayor Snow White, albeit he still serves as a good figurehead for the residents of Fabletown and is eager to do what he perceives to be morally right for the residents.

A fan of the fables series wrote a small description of King Cole, which I thought summed up his duty as Mayor quite well;

"but it is easy to assume that the old man is little more than a figurehead allowing Snow White to do all the real work. In large part this is because the man seems so relaxed with power and is so kind that it is difficult to see what he is doing"

Fable
Taken from Fable lore

King Cole was the king of a very small kingdom. He was married and had three daughters, two of whom were married. When the Adversary advanced to his kingdom, it took them only a day to conquer it.

King Cole hidden from the enemy in an abandoned tin mine, where a group of his subjects had hid as well. He decided that they should hide there as long as possible and often skipped meals to make their supplies last. Eventually, they ran out of food, so they began raiding a nearby farm for supplies.

Once the Adversary left only a small occupying force behind and he heard that his family was killed, King Cole decided it was time to leave. They moved along, eventually hearing about the Sanctuary World.

King Cole was able to successfully lead his citizens to Fabletown. He was elected almost unanimously as mayor of the town during it's first election and has been re-elected every time since.

I wasn't particularly sure of what else to add in this section. I've read only some of the original comics (aside from having played the wolf among us series) and from what I gathered online, there isn't all that much information surrounding King Cole.

My lips are sealed

Wolf Among Us {Fabletown RP}

Really interested!

Will King Cole feature in this, or will you be drawing from the Wolf Among Us Game, and instead have Ichabod Crane serving as 'Acting Mayor'?
