Hello! Thank you for your interest in Fable!
Here are a few tidbits to know before you apply:

player cap: 35/50

✿ Fable's application system is constantly open! This means that there is no set period for applications to come in. Applications can be submitted at any time and are reviewed by mods on Saturday & Sunday.

✿ You do not need a reserve to apply, but you must have an invite. Players in the game can invite 2 people a month! We ask that the person who invites someone into the game replies to their application comment in order to confirm said invite.

✿ We do not accept doubles of characters, nor do we accept app challenges.

✿ Please ensure that your prospective character isn't taken before you apply!

✿ player information
Name: Your name
Invited by: Name the person who invited you
Other characters: Do you have any existing characters in the game? Please list them.
Contact: List your preferred methods of contact.
Are you over 18? It is mandatory that our players are over 18.
✿ character information
Name: Your character's name

Species: Your character's species
Canon: The canon your character is from
Canon point: The point in canon you are applying them from
CRAU: Are they carrying over the memories and experiences from another game? If not, please feel free to delete this section. If yes, please elaborate.

Abilities: A run-down on your character's abilities! Here is something to keep in mind due to the setting of Fable: As the realm is inhabited by fairytale creatures, the Fae NPCs will show interest and friendliness to those who are fully or partially mythological/fae in any way. We also don't nuke powers, so your character will arrive exactly as they are when the Fae take part of them away while they sleep.
History: Just a Wiki link is ok!
Personality: Give us a quick summary of what your character is like! This section should be around 150-200 words.
Arrival item: Characters will be allowed one item to arrive with them when they join the game! This can be a weapon, sentimental item, stuffed animal, or anything else you think they would never be seen without. The Fae will have cast a spell to ensure that any item a new arrival desires comes with them in order to provide them a little bit of comfort from home. Isn't that nice? Sadly, this only applies to tangible things and won't apply to animals, pets or companion creatures like Pokémon.

✿ character information
Name: Lalli Hotakainen
Age: 20
Species: human
Canon: Stand Still Stay Silent
Canon point: post-canon


Abilities: Here is an explanation of mages in Lalli's canon. The sections on Finnish mages are the important ones here, as he is a Finnish mage (and thus has no access to the magic that Icelandic mages do).

Finnish magic comes from two sources: their inner self, and the gods. The magic that comes from within is usually protection magic: sensing the presence of other life forms, hearing the cries of trolls (which sound like wordless screeching to non-mages), putting up both physical and mental barriers to protect themselves from outside attacks, and other small things here and there. A lot of what a mage can do in regards to 'magic from within' depends on what their luonto is though. Lalli's luonto is a lynx, and he can enhance his running speed and climbing capabilities and be particularly loud when he needs to be. He can also sense the presence of both Trolls and living people, and he's pretty good at keeping up barriers. Being the grandson of one of Finland's first post-illness mages, Lalli has both strong blood running through his veins and a lot of special training (first from his grandma, then from his cousin) that makes him particularly adept at being a mage.

The second source of magic is accessed through prayers to the Finnish gods. Pray to the god of weather to bring about a clear night, pray to the god of the hunt to track down non-infected animals to eat, pray to the god of traveling to avoid Trolls during a trip. The gods don't always listen, but usually they do, provided that you know the right words and can say the right prayers to invoke their presence. Lalli has a lot of these prayers memorized, so he can easily recall the prayers to invoke the gods.

(With the note regarding fae in mind, Lalli himself is nothing but an ordinary human, but his magic is granted by the Finnish gods. They're old world pagan gods so they have some similarities with the fae. Some might say that he 'belongs to the forest' too based on his personality and how good he is at magic.)

History: History!
Personality: Lalli is very much like a cat: stubborn, prissy, hesitant around anyone new, and eternally attached to anyone who earns his favor. Which makes sense, given that part of his soul is cat-soul. But honestly it's a really good quick summary of what Lalli is like. He dislikes change, he's very picky about what he eats, he doesn't like loud noises or uncomfortable textures, he likes hiding in tall or narrow spaces (especially under beds), and the best way to gain his loyalty is to feed him.

Lalli might be very catlike and grumpy a lot of the time, but he does have other traits too. He's very loyal to a selected few, to the point where he will walk right into a deadly situation if it means saving someone important to him. He's good at scouting and hunting, and takes pride in his work. He's also generally helpful, even if he might not look like he likes helping. Lalli is kind of a follower, so as long as someone asks him the right way to do stuff he'll generally do it. He's...kind of bad at being independent, honestly.
Arrival item: his rifle
✿ life in fable
Game plans: Lalli lives in a world where he can never relax, because zombies. The first thing Lalli is going to learn is how to chill out. Then maybe he can learn what 'fun' is and how to make friends and be happy for once.
Fruit trees: Oranges
Any final thoughts?
