Who is Fey Brother? A note from his creator

When it comes to Theodor-Phillip, it's important to separate what he *thinks* he is and what is actually going on.

He sees himself as this "Forest Merry Spirit", an eternal entity that possesses body after body and needs physical form as a vessel.
This is only a response to traumatic events he witnessed as a fawn. Many fawns lose their mothers at a young age, and Theo wasn't an exception. The picture of a dead doe he beloved shocked the guy, but he was still too little to proceed those feelings.
He just kinda... moved on. Surviving was his top priority, and slowly but surely the grief was supressed. That's when the whole Forest Spirit thing started.
Instead of considering himself an orphan on his own, Theo decided to be optimistic and say he's a child of the Forest. That is also the reason why he sees Forest as a female. Being her ambassador gives Brother Theo a meaning in life, which he otherwise would've lost long time ago. "What do you do if you *don't* make everyone happy all the time", right?
Of course he does not possess multiple bodies: it's just a dissosiation from fatigue he gets from time to time (it's not easy dancing that much!). He might even realize that. But what harm does that little play pretend make? So what if it's not real -- it sooths him and then he does good deeds to others.

In the end does ot really matter if you're a Forest Spirit or just some random deer?

Behold, I am Pilgor The Chaos Harbinger!

I don't remember how I woke up in this Forest, but I know for sure that before being a... pathetic fawn I was once the Mighty Chaos Harbinger! I remember residents screaming, running from me, from my antics. And I. Loved. It. I was The God (or... Goat?) they were afraid of - as they should.
Again, don't know what happened, but I'm not planning on becoming some ordinary deer with a face. Even if it has magic - back in my realm I had powers way more impressive than that! So get ready, The Endless Forest, Pilgor is on their way to destroy you!

NOTE:I saw some others making bios for their deer, so I decided to hop in! Pls bear in mind that this is largely a WIP, and may be messy or inaccurate at times ^^;

Appearance: Artemisia was manifested with the body of a hybrid deer fawn (Whitetail and Thorold's deer) and the head and face of a cherub. While this is how they appear with minimal influence of magic, there's no telling the shapes they'll take once they hone their skill. Regardless of magic, however, Artemisia will always retain a cherub-like face.

I can finally play on windows 11

After troubleshooting TEF on Windows 11...for like six hours (whoops)...the only set up that works at all was manually adding the app into the graphics settings and changing the preference to High Performance, combined with changing the Compatibility to run the game on Windows 7 and deselecting the screen resolution setting (though, I'm not sure if this affected much other than the doubling window display that kept occurring for me).

Windows Search Arrow System > Display > Graphics > [browse and add application] > select "ForestViewer" > Options: High Performance

Right-click Application Arrow Properties > Compatibility tab > 1) Compatibility Mode: Windows 7; and 2) Settings: deselect "Run in 640 x 480 screen resolution"

Worked smooth as long as I didn't disconnect to the network while in-game, otherwise it would crash and refuse to open again. Had to uninstall and reinstall to fix this. Running older games on Windows 11 seemed to be a known issue within the forums so I added the instructions in case it helps anyone!

The only problem I have now is logging in to my old old old account— waiting fifteen minutes of "logging in" without any results! Guess that's my punishment for having a 12yo inactive account lol. In the meantime, exploring as a guest deer ain't so bad (I do still miss my og stags)

Wow my account is still here!

I had a dream about this game a couple days ago so I went looking for it again—my accounts still exist!!

This is a crazy nostalgia trip; I've even gone through my old sketchbooks and found little doodles of my deer from middle school/early high school <3 I'm glad this gem of a game is still around, especially since quite a few of old mmorpgs I used to play are gone now!

This really is The Endless Forest.

he/they. older adult (40s). picto.
BAN pelt / skull mask / kirin antlers.
quiet, easygoing, sociable.
as slow to anger as he is to forgive.

--------------------------------------------

- almost certainly some form of vampire, though he doesn't seem to hunt in the forest...
- ...or if he does, perhaps he preys only upon nameless deer that no-one would miss? perhaps he leaves them wounded but alive and lets them fade out of the forest as if asleep. who can say?
- he will probably sniff you to greet you, particularly if you're injured or there's something otherwise interesting about you to him. it's more out of concern/curiousity than hunger, don't worry.
- body language and positioning are important with him; he'll often place himself in archways/entrances with his back to his company. it's a measure of trust (which he extends easily until given reason not to), and a show of protective instinct. he's used to taking care of large groups of people.
- you're always welcome to sit close to him. he doesn't initiate contact very often himself, but he tends not to mind if other deer do.
- he's just as disappointed as you are that you can't cast spells on him.
- tends to move like he's in some degree of pain; it doesn't seem to affect his mobility much, and is only really apparent when he gets up after sitting for a long time. he'll hiss through his teeth or be very stiff and slow for a few seconds, moving with a sort of heavy, lumbering gait.
- there are scars dotted around his body, but his fur is so thick and glossy that they're more or less covered by it.

Nothing at the moment. He hasn't found anything to catch his eye yet - nor a safe place to stash things away in.
