Name: Hansel

First appearance: Hansel and Gretel. Except now, he is a teenager, basically think Hansel and Gretel from Black Lagoon, but with actual pseudo-immortality. Hansel is essentially now looks like a "big, muscular thug." Except he's not.

Personality: a dark, perverted type of young man, he likes to cause destruction and has created a spell that transfers the life energy of people he and his sister kill into their bodies. Thus, these two are very very Ax-Crazy, acting recklessly in fights, and using all kinds of psychotic weapons. Hansel is, by all means, the darker of the two. He really likes his close range bladed glove and a machete.

Goals: "Herr Stranger, we want to live forever."

Alliance: They change their allegiance like the rest of us change socks.

Name: Gretel

First appearance: Hansel and Gretel. Now a teenager like her brother, she has a certain callous, shallow beauty, but a sharp mind and a great skill with a giant halberd.

Personality: She is a Yandere for Hansel, maintaining he should be with her, not all those "loose women." Unfortunate Implications ahoy. She really gets upset when Hansel gets hurt in a fight, showing her psychotic side.

Goals: "I just want to live forever with my brother

Alliance: Her brother and her brother alone.

These two will be fun. Maybe as a sort of showing that this is not a nice fairy tale, we start off with a fat woman, inferred prostitute, who is complimenting Hansel's...package. He kills her after some banter, in very brutal fashion.

Name: Little Red Riding Hood

First appearance: Little Red Riding Hood, duh

Personality: Is very flippant, can go from content to enraged in a matter of second. Highly irritable, but will avoid resorting to violence unless she sees it as absolutely necessary. Very protective over her cloak. Doesn't care about anyone other than her grandmother.

Goals: To find her grandmother at any costs and kill anyone who may have harmed her

Alliance: Her only alliance is to her missing grandmother. She is not with or against BB Wolf, but suspects he was behind her grandmother's disappearance and is eager to take him down should this be the case.

Special Ability: Her cloak protects her from just about everything short of a nuclear explosion and doubles as an invisibility cloak. The goodies she keeps in her basket grant her extra speed / strength temporarily when eaten. She is notably agile. Her basket doubles as a lethal weapon. She also carries around a knife that absorbs her victim's life force (for her grandmother, who isn't entirely human...)

I might make a few changes to it later.

Personality: Completely and totally insane. He sings Nursery Rhymes a lot before 'snapping' so to speak. He has begun to eat other beings in Fairytale Land, for the retribution of his kindred being devoured.

Appearance: He looks like a normal gingerbread man with a few minor exceptions...

  • He is 5'11"
  • He has five arms, each shaped into a weapon. On the right you have:
    • Hammer
    • Axe
    • Fork
  • And on the left you have:
    • Spear
    • Knife
  • In between the spear and knife arms, there is a bizarre looking stump.

Goals: Eat all those who enjoyed his comrades.

Alliance: See his goal.

Special Ability: He can cook himself new limbs and absorb other baked goods. He's also Made Of Gingerbread. Anything that hits near his mouth is absorbed. Also, he isn't the only Gingerbread Man and can transfer his insane soul and existance to another Gingerbread Man.

Motto: "Run, run, run as fast as you can, you can't escape me, I'M THE GINGERBREAD MAN!!"

Added some stuff.

Name: Pinocchio

First Appearance: ...Pinocchio.

Personality: ...actually pretty darn nice when he wants to be. Would want nothing more to help people. Unfortunately, this is not the case...

Goal: To become a real person, of course! And also to become free of his master's grasp.

Alliance: The Big Bad Wolf, against his will. Wolfy found Pinocchio's control bar and made him kill his own maker Gepetto; so long as he has it on his person, he has complete control over Pinocchio's actions, as well as having insight into the puppet's whereabouts, what he sees and hears, and his thoughts.

Special Ability: Though Pinocchio isn't particularly strong, he's quite limber and agile. Plus, while lacking strength, if a weapon is attached to one of his puppet parts (as opposed to simply holding it), he'll be able to swing the weapon with ease. Due to the nature of his body, he can't feel pain but is aware when he's getting damaged, and if his limbs get detached, they can still move and relay information to the main body.

He's weak to fire, termites, and mind control. Whoever has Pinocchio's control bar can exercise whatever degree of control over his body they so choose, from giving him total autonomy, giving him a task but letting him do it how he wants, to complete control over his body but not his mouth, to his body and his mouth. However, Pinocchio can still freely think while under his control bar's owner's power, and is often left horrified at what he cannot stop himself from doing.

Appearance: A human sized puppet with green eyes and clothing and brown hair to help blend in with forest-like areas. Carries an axe, a saw, and a carving knife as well as a treasure chest on his back which carries back up limbs in case any of his current ones get damaged. His nose was broken off his face when the Wolf realized it would grow if Pinocchio lied.

Oh, I forgot to mention. Minor detail, but the axe, saw, and carving knife all have ball joints on the ends which can attach to sockets on Pinocchio's palms. Because objects that count as a part of him don't weigh him down.

The chest probably has a socket which attaches into his back too, then, since a chest full of puppet limbs would probably weigh a fair bit...

For those not in the know, the official RP title is "The Land of Fables."

You can find the discussion thread here.

The RP has started already, and is taking place here.

Michael, you might want to make note of the RP title and the RP and discussion locations in the first post, since I can understand why people haven't started posting yet.

  • Name: Captain Hook

  • Personality: Hook is extremely vicious and ruthless, always determined to reach his goal, no matter the cost. He still has a pathological fear of that one crocodile, as well as a hatred of Disney, for making him look completely ridiculous. He always speaks in... well, piratese, you know what I'm talking about.
  • Goals: Hook wants three things: Power, Money, and Peter Pan's Head On A Spike.

It is simply the best boat there is. Can haz Mooks?
    • Hook's normal hook socket can also hold a crossbow and a sword, also socketed in.

  • Name: Jack of Spades (Was Knave of Hearts, defected)

Name: The Woodsman

First Appearance: Little Red Riding Hood OR Snowwhite. Sources vary.

Personality: Dry and bitter, the woodsman has reluctantly assumed he's a secondary character in many tales and he will never get the girl in the end, either because it's a kid or a stupid prince will woo her. He sometimes works for shady employers, provided the compensation is nice. The woodsman is not bad at heart, however, and despises forebording wickedness.

Allegiance: He has no outstanding allies right now, since Snowwhite left with the prince and Little Red Riding Hood is searching for her grandmother. His drinking buddy, the Pied Piper, is nowhere to be seen. He has a long standing grudge with Big Bad Wolf.

Special Skill: Woodsman is a master of survival and the hunt. He knows how to be stealthy, and track down and kill undesirable foes, with bow and steel if need be. He is also known to be resourceful and quick-witted. Other than that, he's just a grumpy, fit man.
