The Fourth Hero

Non-Selective Hero of Bower Lake rp account and ask blog from the game Fable 2 by Lionhead Studios. Est. 2014 / Revived 2023 Will interact with non-rp, and thread with most characters even if I'm fandom blind. OC and duplicate muse friendly.

[heroonlybyblood]

Hi all! I’m Fig (or Sparrow or Sparrow-mun) (he/it/her), 25+, and this is a queer friendly space. I am in Pacific Time Zone (PDT currently (UTC -7)). This blog is an independent Hero of Bower Lake from Lionhead's Fable II. It is 18+, non-selective, and will include some heavy themes such as death, murder, addiction (specifically in reference to adrenaline), and PTSD. I'm open to threading with most characters, even if I'm unfamiliar with the fandom. I am OC, crossover, and duplicate muse friendly.

Please note this blog is revamped from when I previously RPed Sparrow in 2014 to 2016, and I left a good chunk of musings, art, and headcanons. Despite the age of this blog, I use the new beta editor and xkit rewritten to trim posts.

I prefer the message system for out of character chats and plotting, but feel free to shoot me an ask if that's more comfortable for you, just let me know!

Albion door dash

[looking-for-lost-stars]

Farenn's ear twitched, her curiosity peaked, she was wracking her brain for something that might be relevant to as 'Old Kingdom' many things came to mind though none felt like it would be relevant "It can be yes. The art of teleportation has been lost to most. Are you a mage, is this a new spell gone wrong?"

This human reeked of strange magic. Metallic gold eyes studied the man. "If you are in need of assistance, I am willing to provide." That's what she was after all. Hero of Tamriel. It was still in her nature to help.

“I would not consider myself a mage, even with my ability to cast spells.” Sparrow cast his thoughts on how best to describe this predicament. Cullis Gates were the bane of his existence, especially the one at Brightwood Tower. The constant maintenance was draining, and the notes Garth left behind only provided so much information. He was certainly no scholar.

There was nothing for it. He would have to describe everything, including his lack of knowledge.

“Shadows take the Gates,” Sparrow cursed. He despised being out of his depth. It made his skill crawl, forced to be reliant upon other’s information. He glared at the woman. He knew it was hardly her fault that he was displaced, but it was soothing to have something to focus his ire on.

“I was repairing a Cullis Gate. The two-way connection had broken. Again. I do not understand the intricacies needed to repair it to fully functioning— I barely understood the notes to keep it maintained— but I know what the magic should feel like and it certainly was not what deposited me here. This land is far more saturated in magic than Albion, it is almost nauseating,” he snarled.

"That's because I'm one of a kind. No one like me-- except my grandson, but that's a really long story." Wally explained, all smiles nonetheless. He was simply thrilled to have somewhere to crash and people to help.

"So tell me a little about this place-- you guys got a pretty neat aesthetic here. Should I uh-- put on some armor or a vest-- or something? I think I stand out like a sore red thumb compared to everyone else."

Wally was blissfully unaware of where he'd ended up. Bart would retrieve him eventually--- either that or Mr Terrific would figure out how to snatch him back. Biding his time was the best plan.

[heroonlybyblood]

"Those who hide their face are commonly bandits, or cultists from the Temple of Shadows, but it would not matter in the long run I do not think. Albion’s people will judge you regardless of your attire.

“They are a suspicious lot, rightfully so—” There was another smothered scoff that Sparrow pretended to not hear. He certainly didn’t blame them. “—so they will not trust you and may even hinder you at first. You will understand once I go over this position with you. Speaking of which, we have arrived.”

They stopped at a door hidden in a small alcove. Sparrow opened the door to a moderate study. Two full bookcases lined the opposite wall, and a ring of daylight came down from skylights. He gestured to his guest to enter first, fully intending to close the door after they both stepped in.

[I swear I'm here this time. Literally a week after my last update, my spouse had emergency surgery (he's healed up well now), my lead at work quit, and a previous coworker died. I have since been officially made lead this time, and have been struggling to recuperate from burnout part 2: Electric Boogaloo.

On top of everything, my decade old laptop was finally retired and had to get a new one, and the seasonal depression started to set in again. I'm going to take things slow and ease back into writing, and update my status to a mid to low activity blog (as much as I would like otherwise.)

But yeah, I'm back again.]

A quick summary of the last 16 months

[cxpedcrusxder]

        🦇—-;; Another name Bruce isn't familiar with, but he can assume that these were places that this stranger was from. "Then I suppose I won't need to advise you to be careful. But just in case." He says, shifting his weight a little bit, "and you should keep your head down and stay out of trouble." Though he supposes that also goes without saying, but he didn't need him running off and doing that, Gotham gets enough trouble as it is.

Beneath the cowl, a brow raises at the name, Bruce doesn't recognise it. Why should he? Those titles don't mean anything to him, but it might help him poke around a bit in where to send him when he helps him find his way back to where he should be. He should reach out to his allies who were more magically inclined for something like this, but, he'll work that out later if it's needed. He makes it clear though that he doesn't recognise the name, if that's the intention behind it being said.

However, he waits a beat before he nods, to show he'll at least remember the name and call him by it from now on. And in turn, Bruce offers his moniker, since his true identity needed to remain secret for right now.

"I'm Batman." He says, his hand moved to the symbol on his chest and he hums. "Vigilante hero, and protector of Gotham." He figures those titles were less like he's boasting right now, besides they're not quite so important right now.

[heroonlybyblood]

Sparrow eyed the symbol, and not for the first time wondered where the Cullis Gate sent him. Tales of displacement were just that, tales. Even Albion’s very own history of the Void and William Black was more akin to myth than fact by Sparrow’s time. He strained to recall any other instance throughout his studies before shooing the thoughts away. He would have plenty of time for that later, once he found a safe spot.

“I suppose that I do not need to tell you that I would have no knowledge of what or where would cause trouble in this city of yours. The sound outside the rain, the way your buildings are constructed, the very smell in the air are unknown to me. For all I know, walking in the street as I am,” Sparrow gestured towards his face, angling his head to show off his horns, “would ‘cause trouble’ as it does in Albion.”

There was little doubt in his mind that he would need to ask for help. He was uncertain if he wanted to return to Albion, not with Theresa’s last prediction for him, but it was still all he knew. At the very least, he would need to sleep on it. And while he was no stranger to sleeping on cold ground, he would vastly prefer walls in such an unfamiliar environment.

Off Hiatus Update / Starter Call

Hi yes hello hi so sorry its taken forever and a day. Finally back to a regular schedule and I'm no longer having to pull double and triple duty due to lack of staffing. Finally able to dedicate brain space to replies and we are pumped! Going to be sending messages out to those I owe replies to but feel free to give this a like if you want me to for sure reach out to you.

[heroonlybyblood]

[Supposedly soon I'll be able to stop pulling double duty at work in about a week, so I'm putting down my tentative return from impromptu hiatus near the end of the month. I am so burnt out y'all. We just wanna playyyyyyy 😭😭😭]

[heroonlybyblood]

[Sorry for disappearing, could have sworn I hit post awhile back. Work has me pulling extra hours for to severe understaffing, and I'm having barely enough energy to read, let alone write. I've been chipping away at drafts once sentence at a time. So I'm not on line, a hiatus or anything, it's just slow going 😅]

[throwingmenthols-deactivated202]

“denied the catharsis of punishment” is an underappreciated but hugely effective narrative consequence imo 

[unabashedlyseveresandwich]

#it’s so tasty and it comes in so many flavors#does the character self-loathe and feel anguished by what others intended as an act of forgiveness and grace?#does the character know they need to change but sort of madly wish they could trade the unceasing exhausting improvement journey#for a flash bang of slate-clearing repentance so they don’t have to *think* about it anymore?#is is a creeping horror as the character realizes no one is going to punish them because everyone else still thinks what they did was okay?#does the character have to live the rest of their life just feeling ever so slightly untrusted by everyone with no way to stop it?#sorry for leaving pretentious tags on tumblr dot com it will happen again
