[OOC] Ignite Heart! A Magical Girl RP

[VitaVitaAR]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[BrokenPromise]

• Name: Hana Kasamatsu
• Magical Girl Title: Shining Scales (usually called “Shinscales”)
• Age: 16
• Gender: FemaleWHY EVEN HAVE THIS???
• Appearance: Hana's hair is styles into twin drills that are held securely behind her head and tumble the length of her back. They are usually secured with a hair clip or ribbon. Her eyes are brown, but can appear almost orange in the right light. This is an anime RP, so it's probably worth mentioning that her breasts are a bit larger than the norm. But she tend to wear heavier clothes to hide this fact. When not wearing a school uniform, she tends to dress “punky,” usually stripes shirts and stockings under jeans and a jean jacket.
• Magical Girl Appearance: Hana takes on the magical girl version of a pirate captain. She has a large captain's hat with a coat that seems to always flair out like a bell below her waist. Leather straps, plenty of places to hide weapons, and lots of magical girl jewelry.
  
  Under her seemingly flashy outfit though is scale mail. Form AND function!
• Personality: Hana does not go out of her way to make connections with others. It would not be incorrect to call her a misanthropist. She finds the day to day gossip and stories people tell boring, and would prefer to spend as little time absorbing such gibberish as possible. She will try to disengage from people who talk to her in a nice way, but occasionally feels the need to be blunt with them to get away from the chattier people. Hana almost never apologizes, and is more likely to tell you how you could avoid being offended/hurt/disappointed. Hana doesn't much care for being nagged or mocked either. Hana has no difficulty avoiding these people, but you can be sure she's plotting her revenge. It's a mystery why she ever wanted to become a magical girl.
  
  That is not to say Hana avoids everyone. If Hana feels someone can help her forward her own goals, or finds something they do fascinating, she can tolerate or even become friends with the individual. Hana does not like people, Hana likes what people can do.
  
  Hana can be obsessive when it comes to her hobbies and goals. Her head is filled with pointless trivia as a result of many late night youtube and google hopping expeditions. This is especially true when it comes to her hobbies. She really likes fantasy dramas.
  
  As her Shining Scales persona, Hana is bubbly and “punny.” almost a complete 180 from her true self.
• Skills: Hana spends a lot of time in front of her computer, and is fascinated by them to the point of obsession. She spends a lot of time working with electronics, building everything from custom game controllers to robots. She's knowledgeable about programming, soldering, and micro electronics. She's also great with trivia. She also strength trains in her off time, giving her a sturdy upper body for sports that involve throwing or swinging things.
  
  Many people consider her ability to beguile others a skill as well.
• Abilities: When not in uniform, the only power Hana takes advantage of is her “Captain's Dare.” The attack is silent and has no warning cues, but can only be used when both Hana and the target are making eye contact and are within five feet of each other. After they make eye contact for a few seconds, the victim will enter a sort of paralysis where they can only blink, breath, etc. Closing your eyes does not protect you from it's effects, but if Hana's vision is obstructed or she looks away for more than a few seconds, her target regains use of their body. It's uses are extremely limited, and Hana only really uses it to get away from people she has no interest in talking to. Provided her fairy companion isn't paying attention that is!
  
  When in uniform, Hana gains the same generic speed/strength/vitality boost that most magical girls get. Her durability perhaps increases more than usual because of her scale mail. The real strength of her transformation comes from her ability to pull various gunpowder related items out of her coat. Flintlock pistols, blunderbusses (filled with silverwear!),black powder bombs, even cannons. They all fade away shortly after being fired. The larger the item, the longer it takes to draw out of her coat.
  
  Her ultimate ability, her one true spell, is “Ultimate Fantastic Flying fortress: Fantasia.” (Can be shortened to U4F.) This opens a rift in the sky for a magnificent flying battleship to enter the world. It's armed with about thirty cannons per side, and is manned by an army of pirate skelitons. But the best part of U4F is that it's actually a projectile attack. U4F will eventually dive out of the sky into the designated area and explode. This consumes the entirety of Hana's unusually large mama reserve, forcing her to revert back to her normal self after the spectacular.
• Weapon(s): While Hana primarily fights with her gunpowder gadgetry, she does have a saber for close quarters fighting.
• Brief History: Hana is a rather unremarkable child. Like most teenagers, she has yet to take her life in any real direction. She's just an average, obsessive teenage girl. While there is her interest in electronics, the rest of her past is so generic most wouldn't be able to help but call it boring.
  The only odd thing about Hana is her reluctance to socialize very much. This greatly displeases her parents, who are both wealth overachievers. Why is their child so boring? Why doesn't she desire anything more than simple modes of entertainment? Doesn't she like people?
  
  It might have been her upbringing, maybe a bad run in at school. It's not all that unnatural. But maybe there's more to it than that...
  
  
  • Fairy Name: Isk
  • Fairy Appearance: Isk looks like a blue parrot wearing a winged helm, but is actually a little girl in a feathered suit.
  • Fairy Personality: Isk is actually not capable of speaking, and instead transmits images directly into people's heads.
• Theme Song:Hana's theme? that would be "Opera of the frogs". It's kind of quiet until the 0:20 second mark.

[VitaVitaAR]

@BrokenPromise: Okay, a couple things.

The medusa stuff does not fit into the rest of the theme at all honestly. ^^; It feels a bit out of place.

Also, the ship probably wouldn't be manned by fairies because they have a job to do. It could be controlled by her mind or by magical constructs of some kind.

Finally, all fairies are tiny girls, universally.

[BrokenPromise]

@VitaVitaAR The medusa theme had more to do with parts of her unrevealed backstory and hobbies, but I removed her snake hair, renamed medusa gaze, and gave her a normal scabbard.

Faeries were replaced with skeletons.

Isk is now a little girl wearing a feathered suit.

How's that?

[VitaVitaAR]

@BrokenPromise: I am very okay with a literal skeleton crew.

Accepted.

[BrokenPromise]

@VitaVitaAR Cool! Glad it was that easy to fix!

So do I post it in the character tab then?

[VitaVitaAR]

Yep, move her over to the character tab.

[VitaVitaAR]

List fully updated, by the way!

[HereComesTheSnow]

Groovy

[HereComesTheSnow]

Question

Will our listed abilities remain constant throughout the game, or should we expect some power creep as the story moves along?

[VitaVitaAR]

As the story goes on, you can expand your powerset and grow more powerful.

[HereComesTheSnow]

Fuck yes I get to write training montages

[BrokenPromise]

@HereComesTheSnow

[HereComesTheSnow]

exactly, but only cuhrayzee-er

[TheFake]

Ugh, so late but I made a push to get it done.

Himura Shizuri/Magical Girl Kuroe The Writer

• Name: Himura Shizuri
• Magical Girl Title: Magical Girl Kuroe the Writer (Also her pen name)
• Age:17
• Gender: Female
• Appearance:
  
• Magical Girl Appearance: In her Transformed state Shizuri wears a black suit with a cream colored vest and pink tie. Her ordinarily messy hair is done up into a ponytail and her glasses are absent entirely.
• Personality:
  In the flesh Shizuri is almost terminally shy, reluctant to act around people that she knows and entirely useless around strangers. Any attention drawn to her is unwelcome and she does not readily express herself without being prompted, even around good friends.
  
  Though the anonymity of the internet she is outgoing and opinionated. Shizuri is passionate about anything that she takes an interest in and can be driven to show her anger with a small amount of provocation. She isn't a naturally angry person but more vibrant emotions more easily rise to the top if she is caught off guard. These traits even carry through to her magical girl form. Nobody could possibly mistake shy Himura Shizuri for Kuroe the brash magical girl.
• Skills: Writing, playing and mixing music and video games.
• Abilities: With her Marker Shizuri can modify the properties of objects by writing on them, even to the point of giving them magical abilities. Longer written passages give more enhanced effects. This can even be used on herself to augment her own abilities but does not work on other people.
• Tool: The Black Marker
• Brief History:
  Himura Shizuri merely passed through life to this point. Her shy nature and inability to make friends meant that she made as little an impact upon those that she crossed paths with as they did upon her. The origin of this might have been her families constant moving with her fathers work and the very brief nature of any friendships early in her life.
  
  With the absence of any other people to spend her time with, Shizuri filled her life with more solitary activities such as writing and other hobbies. Behind her online nickname Kuroe she found a way to express her thoughts and feelings without having to meet face to face with anyone.
  
  While in her first year of high school she published her first romance novel under this same nickname. It was a success and afterone year of high school she dropped out to write full time, moving into an apartment of her own and living a life of solitude. She now publishes at an astounding rate, living out her own fantasies on the pages she writes. Beneath it all, what she possibly desires most is the ability to interact with people face to face, like those in her stories.
  
  It is of course open knowledge that Magical Girl Kuroe and Kuroe the author are one and the same.
  
  • Fairy Name: Fid
  • Fairy Appearance: Fid is a diminutive Fairy, even among her own kind she is considered small. Fids hair is a brilliant white and what passes for her wings and even her clothing is an indistinct darkness that flows around her body like scraps of black silk with her wings coming from four small points on her back. In flight she looks like a pinprick of light followed by a rippling inky trail.
  • Fairy Personality: Fids nature is a direct contrast to that of Shizuri. She is always outgoing and will rise to any challenge, especially anything that might directly go against Shizuri herself. Fid will poke fun at anything and any one meaning that nothing is off limits if the mood strikes her. She is in tune very intimately with Shizuri and is able to convey her feelings for her.
• Theme Song:
  

[VitaVitaAR]

Accepted.

[HereComesTheSnow]

The idea of popularity contests and turf wars is gonna be interesting to explore from Hoshi's "idealistic newbie" perspective

[Crimmy]

Do the girls get merchandising?

[HereComesTheSnow]

down, hat-chan

[VitaVitaAR]

@HereComesTheSnow: Yeah, some magical girls get a little too caught up in the popularity side of things.

There's one from another city who even livestreams her patrols.

@Crimmy: I was considering a couple having obtained sponsoring at least.
