The Endless Forest: A Tale of Tales (Characters Needed)

Kikikokanut's picture

The Endless Forest has been incubating the still and quiet lives of the creatures within for generations. But the wind is stirring, the silence is shattering, and the Endless Forest may no longer be living up to its name...


The Endless Forest has inspired me to write a novel and bring life to all of the characters in the game world. Of course, The Endless Forest wouldn't be so alive without all of its players! That's where you come in!

I'm going to need a lot of characters in my novel. Instead of making up a whole bunch, I thought it would be fun to include the characters of other players, such as yourselves. Don't worry- this is just for fun, so you don't have to worry about me publishing this and stealing your characters. Plus, I'll make sure to give credit to you all. If you are afraid of my representation of your character, you can tell me to give your character little or no dialogue, or ask for a smaller role in the story. If you're still unsure, however, all I can really do is just give you my word that I'll do my best to represent your character the way that you want it to be. I know that it isn't the strongest guarantee, but it's all that I can do. If you'd like to be included in my novel, please submit the following information:

  • Name - The name of your deer.
  • Age - Either fawn, young adult, adult, or elder.
  • Gender - Either doe, buck, or unspecified.
  • Antlers - Describe the appearance of your deer's antlers, if any.
  • Mask - Describe the appearance of your deer's mask, if any.
  • Pelt - Describe the appearance of your deer's pelt.
  • Personality - Describe the personality of your deer in no more than 50 words.
  • Role - Identify whether or not you want your character to have a speaking role.
  • Other - Anything extra you want to add, like idiosyncrasies, magic ability, etc.
  • Optional - If you want, you may post an image of your deer. This can be either a screenshot or a drawing.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I'll be posting more teasers in the future, so you can check them out through either my profile page or the Wallpaper Category of the Pictures section. I'm excited to see what you all have to offer!

This sounds cool! People

This sounds cool! People might be more forthcoming to offer up their characters if you shared some details about what your plans for the story are, like a little plot synopsis.

Good luck!

Ah, this sounds like a great

Ah, this sounds like a great idea! I'll be definitely stalking this, it's so original.

I personally am a little scared to offer my characters for someone else to write, because I don't know how they'll represent my characters and their personalities. I mean, the main problem here is if the writer can truly get into the head of a character and speak as they would, and adapt to their personality when they don't own that character.

I understand your concern.

I understand your concern. I'm sure I would feel the same way. If you want to participate, but are afraid of my representation of your character, you can tell me to give your character little or no dialogue, or ask for a smaller role in the story. If you're still unsure, however, all I can really do is just give you my word that I'll do my best to represent your character the way that you want it to be. I know that it isn't the strongest guarantee, but it's all that I can do.

I do appreciate you expressing your concern.

I am actually writing a novel based on TEF, but not quite the same. I kinda wanted to keep it quiet, buuuut yeah.
Definitely tracking this, I'd be happy to give tips and help you in any way I can! I might offer a character too...
