I was inspired by a recent gag on an anime that could be expanded upon into a possible roleplay idea and had other ideas of my own that could also be used depending on what's voted on by you guys.

The inspired idea is taking magical girls and making them realistic, aka very mundane. They have to fill out job applications, damage reports, patrol around looking for monsters yet nothing comes up, etc. Basically, normal police work they don't show on tv with a few rare fights that end up requiring a whole lot of paperwork. This would be a free roleplay that mainly tries to be comedic based on how boring being a realistic magical girl is. It may even climax with us getting ready to fight the big bad but finding out that we're not the only competent ones and the police already arrested him...spoiler alert! (EDIT: Here is the mundane roleplay)

The historic Japan one is set in the warring states period where samurai were fighting each other from different groups. However, the existence of magical girls threatened to change history as samurai became bodyguards of magical girls who would serve as the main fighting force to decide battles. Oda Nobunaga (a super famous guy from this era) wishes to take over all of Japan with his elite magical girl forces...at any cost. Can our little group survive his onslaught and restore peace to the nation? P.S. Elite samurai can fight on a similar level to magical girls, just with insane fighting ability rather than magic, so this allows male characters to be useful as well.

The deathly serious one is a possible future of the historic Japan one where future was changed due to the existence of magical girls springing up there. They basically took over a third of the world and a rebellion is starting in a conquered territory.

All of your proposed ideas sound really interesting; however, at the moment, I am really in the mood for your first idea with the mundane, realistic magical girls. Therefore, my vote goes to it.

I'm most interested in the historical or mundane one, the other option just in case people wanted a modern version.

I'm hoping for the mundane one we can make it funny rather then be as bored as our characters. There's plenty of humor to be had in the subject matter if we get on a roll but the idea could be a double edged sword. I guess if we got too bored with it then all of our characters die while not paying attention due to being bored and we can start the other one. ;)

Madoka.....

Madoka.....

A Madoka-like roleplay would go along best with the modern "deathly serious" idea.

I believe I'd enjoy the mundane one.

I was just saying it in the whole 'fuck Madoka! Seriously...' kind of way.

Ohh, yea. Brilliant magical girl anime. Amazing new take on a lot of things. But I hated it all the same because it just, fucked everyone.

The historical one will have serious battles like Madoka but there's room for a happy ending.

I think it was more how it just, killed people off without any warning, even in the middle of their 'This is a great day' speech.

Attack. On. Titan.

Has a lot of great death in it as well, yes. And so does Akame Ga Kill.

magic girls fighting giant monsters! I think their called Kaiju?

Either way this looks interesting

I like roleplays that can take a dark turn immediately; let's look at 9/11, for a quick example. I do hope this isn't offensive to anybody, but

So deathly serious, or mundane for me.

Maybe the mundane one could be going on at the same time and go on for all eternity. It won't be my main focus but if people enjoy it they can pop in and post in it as desired. There probably won't be a main story to follow due to there usually not being one in real life so that will help the plan of just going into the roleplay when we feel like it. Also, if I get too busy, someone else can be the main GM if they'd like.

The deathly serious one taking place in ancient Japan could be cool. One minute we're chilling out and the next, our once friendly clan wipes out the village in a single attack from an elite magical girl and we try to escape the devastation. Then Oda Nobunaga shows up and...stands ominously!

I like that idea for the mundane one.

Hey, we could just pull down Oda's pants-- did they have belts back then, by any chance?
maybe it could just be windy
like
blizzard but in wind form
and then
I don't fucking know
oda's pants fall off
and he destroys the universe

I am the single greatest writer in the multiverse.

Maybe the mundane one can have dream sequences such as pulling down his pants. That would break the tone of the other one, which I'm sure you already know.
