NPCs
non-playable characters
the inhabitants of the game!
Characters that exist in-game without a player who help advance the plot or provide interactions for your character! There are main NPCs who are more plot-related than others, and miscellaneous mythological creature & anthropomorphic animal characters who live as residents in the respective regions of the game.
Improvisation with these residental NPCs is accepted and encouraged! There are, however, some outlines on what they can and cannot do. We trust that players can make these choices sensibly when writing NPC interactions into tags!
Residential NPCs CAN:
❖ Participate in your character's business (customers of food or taverns, clients of attorneys, students of tutors, etc.)
❖ Play tricks on your character. This is a land inhabited by fae, after all...! They might misplace belongings or pull pranks.
❖ Show fear and discomfort over your character's presence if your character is not transformed. Please read the rewards guide on transformations for more information on this!
❖ In regards to the above, they may chase your character out of forests or close their shops and refuse service to them if they're afraid. They feel nervous around non-magical beings and some critters are sadly less open minded than others.
Residential NPCs CANNOT:
❖ Cause death or severe injury to your character.
❖ Show extreme forms of discrimination or aggression towards your character.
❖ Harass your character to the point of extreme upset or annoyance. Some fae may like to play tricks, but they get bored easily.
❖ Sleep with your character. (OH NO I'm sorry, monsterfuckers!! But trust me, you will have opportunities to have your monster banging needs met in future events and TDMs!)

prism
Prism is the main NPC in all of Fable. He is the realm's overseer and the one who created it many moons ago along with the help of his brothers and sisters. He is a very large white dragon with fur, feathers and a tail tip stylised like a paint brush.
Prism is a dragon who cannot create magic by himself. But once he consumes the fruit grown by his siblings, he is capable of using their magic in the form of paint by using his tail brush. But sadly, his siblings were stolen by an evil Witch who came to Rhyme in search of a pet. Entranced by the luminous colourful scales of his siblings, she stole them all and keeps them in her castle.
He has the ability to dreamwalk - allowing him to visit characters and creatures in their dreams. Through this method, he frequently visits his siblings in their dreams in order to see how they're doing in the Witch's keep. They are chained and held against their will, but healthy and in no risk of further harm otherwise, which does put his mind at ease.
Curiously, human arrivals into their realm come with a natural ability to grow fruit the way his siblings did. By helping him gain magic so that he can rescue his siblings, he rewards the new inhabitants with a comfortable life and anything they wish for.

the dragon siblings
These faerie dragons are the siblings of Prism. They are tiny, unlike Prism, and each dragon has beautiful shining scales corresponding with a different colour of the rainbow. Each dragon has their own unique personality, along with a favourite kind of fruit that they loved to grow. In some way, they were magically connected to the fruit.
Once the siblings fed the fruit to Prism, he could magically create paint in order to create a world for them all to live in. Sadly, an Evil Witch appeared one day seeking a pet to capture, and she stole all of the dragons. They're still in the Witch's keep, but Prism knows that they are not being harmed. Their big brother dragon aspires to rescue them, but he can only do this once he has enough magic. Could this happen one day? Will he ever see them again?

the mayor of fable
This is Bluebell, the current mayor of Fable! Does she seem familiar somehow...? Well, uh. Maybe a little! Her role in Fable is to serve as the Town Mayor, and she works alongside Tanook the Tanuki. Since characters are pretty independent in Fable, she doesn't have a whole lot to do apart from spin in her office chair and drink coffee. But she is the first NPC your character meets formally!
As mayor, she welcomes your character to Fable, explains its history and how the fruit reward system works, and introduces your character's starter cottage. She doesn't dive too deeply into the story of the Evil Witch and the missing dragon siblings, in order to make her new residents feel comfortable about settling in.
Overall she is a helpful, happy dog who will always have her door open for any enquiries or concerned newcomers.
She's only around 4ft in height, so be careful not to step on her!

tanook
This is Tanook the Tanuki, and he is in charge of residential homes! Hang on, isn't there another Tanuki out there who also concerns himself with loans and business over houses? Probably! Maybe they're related.
Anyway, Tanook is the one in charge of house upgrades and residential placements. Don't ask how he works - because no one knows. When you cash in your rewards to upgrade your house, you will wake up the next day to see it completely revamped! He's certainly a clever Tanuki, isn't he?
You'll end up indebted to him, but don't worry about it, he's not in any rush to be paid over it. One can only wonder how he's so relaxed over late payments ...

❖ Elves
❖ Pixies
❖ Gnomes

❖ Satyrs
