A NEW YEAR, A FORGOTTEN YOU
Once upon a time, in the continent of Ostorn, there was a town called Haven. After a deadly plague had ravaged the lands, a man decided to strike out and pave a new trade route to cities barred by a lack of roads and an abundance of natural blockades...
Welcome to the first past life plotting post of 2025! Sticks and Bones is a setting where player characters are the reincarnations of previous residents of the town that Aldric founded within the woods as a midway stop between cities on his new trade route. The continent of Ostorn and the world of Sticks and Bones is a magical land inspired by the Tales of series, among other games. Below in the comments are some explanations, locations and pre-existing NPCs who can be referenced!
Players with dropped characters are encouraged to include their dropped characters if only for potential backstory purposes for others, but it is not a requirement.
While we don't want to restrict things a lot, we must ask you keep the following in mind!
When you're ready, please use this form and then tag out!

While we don't want to restrict things a lot, we must ask you keep the following in mind!
- Although this is a magical setting where plant-animals and beasts like the Guardians exist, characters must be human in their past life, with few exceptions. Please speak to the mods if you feel something else is better for your character.
- The level of technology was a bit skewed, but largely it was very basic electricity that just... happened to be magic. Light bulbs, the magic of indoor plumbing.
- Speaking of magic, while there are forms of magic such as enchantment and standard RPG mechanics, the Celestial magic that's been included in the game plot is not open to characters in their past lives.
- You are more than welcome to include new locations or expand on current ones, though if it is noted to reach out to a specific player about it, please do that. Ostorn is a large continent, and there is an even bigger world out there.
- The Goddesses are known, but very distantly as ancient history. Religion depends on the region, but Guardians, being demigod animals, are frequent objects of worship.
- Your past life should not be a 1:1 parallel to your current life! Things change, situations change, and the new reincarnations got off very badly actually.

Min-Gi Park
Place of Birth: Polaris Landing
Reasons for Joining the Grove: They came across it on their travels and ended up sticking around.
History:
Min and Ryan grew up in Polaris Landing, a small riverside settlement in the north. Although they remain the same age they do not share a birthday. They've still known each other since childhood and in this universe actually got their act together and have been dating since their teens. This same date happens to be their birthday in their reincarnation! Min-Gi was and is close with his family, but due to its small size and its only real access being by ferry it's common for people to leave to pursue new careers and opportunities. Both Min and Ryan always dreamed of being musicians, and left pretty much as soon as they were old enough.
They did okay! They travelled for a while, playing in whatever towns they found themselves in before moving along again. It wasn't always easy, but so long as they could play music together they were happy. This only changed once they arrived in the Grove. Travelling had been exciting, but settling down somewhere had its perks too. They could still make music, and without moving from one town to the next they could land work more reliably.
Despite having been together so long and being practically inseparable, the two are in their late 20s by the time they decide it's time to propose. They both had rings and were ready to surprise each other, but ultimately never had time to officially ask the question.
Some Min things:
- Min has an interest in unusual instruments, particularly those with complicated or revolutionary mechanics.
- He's an only child in both lives. In his previous life he (mostly secretly) kind of wishes he wasn't.
- He's great at navigation, and although he much prefers to travel in the day he's particularly good when using the stars. He knows all the constellations, and even uses a few that he and Ryan made up when they were young.
Role: MusicianLooking for: Friends! Presumably there were people to keep them in the Grove after they first arrived. Relationships with venue owners would also be pretty good considering their vocation.
