      That’s pretty great actually! I came up Beast from Beauty and the Beast, who was forced out of his castle. He then wished to fix everything, by finding by Belle. Thankfully, he figured out another way to change.
      He’s an inverse druid, he has to wolf shape to be human, and cast spells. I thought it was cool change to the druid formula.

      this season feels.... different than the others. by starstruck it was made very apparent that the intrepid gang was gonna put on a masterclass for us, and they definitely delivered. but now this season feels like brennan saying "oh? you fucked me up last season? good luck for round 2..." and now it's his turn. excited for tonight for sure, and for anyone that hasn't gotten a dropout subscription yet, i would highly recommend doing so before you get heavily spoiled in the comment section lol.

    UGHHH the editing this season is impeccable! The intro, the character introductions, the little effects over Brennan, it adds so much flavor! Absolutely love Lou’s Pinocchio voice, Ally and Emily’s lil familial dynamic is so cute, Siobhan as Rosamund is so dainty and gentle, Gerard being a frog with a midlife crisis oml, and Zac Obama being the best lil catboy-literal perfection.

      I would play one of the Lost Boys(Feytouched Urchin Rogue) he discovered Peter Pan not only is the one stealing the kids from their mothers but is also killing any of the boys that reach puberty, he’s 16 now and has been on the run from a flying imortal with a living shadow and a replaceable pet pixie since he was 13, while also trying to find his mother, my end goal with this character would be to actually grow him into Captain Hook
      Edit: other similar options(mostly changes to backstory) would be to base the character around Wendy or one of her brothers, same settings for Peter Pan, but if you’re Wendy you’re running away from an immortal creep in the body of a child who doesn’t want you to grow up, while being her brother would mean you’re actually hunting down Peter Pan after he kidnaped your sister

    I’m going to be honest and say I wish this was a tv series. Like have the story/backstory/plot-without the game aspect-be acted out by actors because I really enjoyed watching it❤️. I feel like it could potentially be up there, or even above, Once Upon A Time. I’m a huge fan of watching or reading any version of fairytales. So, when I listened to Mo Mo O’Brien’s Neverafter tribute song collab with R. Morgan Slade I knew I had to check out Dimension 20’s Neverafter. And I’m so happy that I did.
