The year is 2032.

Throughout human history, there have been incursions by the Phase. A strange, alien race of beings located in a dimension out of line with our reality, the Phase are impervious to conventional weaponry entirely. A single touch from the Phase causes a catastrophic chain reaction, the human body rendered into a fragile glass-like substance that soon crumbles into tiny shards. History has proven that, time and time again, any attempt to stop the Phase has ended in tragedy. The only saving grace has been the rarity of their emergence: Decades can go by without a single sight of the Phase.

And yet... in the last twenty years, there has been a sudden increase in Phase incursions. More and more Phase have emerged into the world and wreaked havoc, their attacks costing countless lives before they disappear as suddenly as they came. These newest attacks have most frequently surfaced in the nation of Japan, and it is for that reason that certain dark, secret projects have resurfaced.

The RELIC system. Using the ancient relics, even degraded as they are, as the catalyst to clad those on the appropriate wavelength in anti-Phase armor and equip them with weapons operating in both our reality and the out-of-phase sublayer inhabited by the Phase. A secret project designed to bring humanity's future into sharp relief, to provide a future for the human race.

A weapon to destroy the Phase.

But using the RELIC system is not so simple. Only those who operate on the appropriate wavelength and can properly communicate with these ancient artifacts and be clad in radiant anti-phase armor. Only girls known as Tuners can use the system. Extensive tests were conducted, every possible outcome studied, but only these girls can wear the Relic System made to destroy the Phase.

It is for this reason that the Kondo Academy for Girls was established, a girls school both intended for education and to gather potential Tuners for the use of the projection.

The Special Disaster Recovery Agency, known as SDRA, secretly constructed a base beneath the Academy, in order to monitor any potential candidates...

It's also a place of education for those who are already a part of the project.

But even in spite of the confidential nature of the Relic System, can it be truly said that the SDRA and the Japanese Government are the only ones privy to knowledge of the system itself?

Or even the only ones who have those who can wield it?

Will you become a Valkyrie clad in legends?

So, this is a new, heavily-Symphogear-inspired RP!

It's basically Symphogear, for that matter. ^^; The only reason it's not [i]actually[/i] Symphogear is due to how heavily involved music is with the series I believe it's impossible to do as an RP proper.

For anyone who doesn't know about the series that I used as inspiration, this RP will be a high-impact, fairly serious(but mostly not particularly dark) magitech magical girl RP mostly based around fighting strange extradimensional monsters known as the Phase. Naturally, you'll be playing as the girls using the RELIC system, some who have not yet learned about their potential and others who are already part of the project.

Additionally, I'll be allowing people to play members of SDRA as well as friends of the RELIC users, and on top of that I'll also allow antagonists(whose details will be revealed privately to those players) to be played, though there will be some limitations on their ability to post for a period of time.

Additionally, [@Raineh Daze] will be my co-GM for this RP.

[list][*][u][b]Phase:[/b][/u] Bizarre extradimensional beings that obsessively pursue humans soon as they materialize in the world through "cracking air". Indeed, on their appearance, the very air seems to break apart like fragmenting glass. This is the way the human eye perceives their entrance into this reality. Upon their entry, Phase appear as strange, semi-humanoid or animalistic, brightly colored shapes. Upon any contact with a human body, that human's body is converted into a glasslike substance which soon cracks and breaks apart. Only those clad in the RELIC system can touch them without being killed. Due to their out-of-phase nature with reality, conventional weaponry cannot harm them. Only the RELIC system is cable of damaging a Phase. Phase are categorized from least to most dangerous, ascending from TYPE: WOLF, to TYPE: KRAKEN, and finally TYPE: DRAGON.
[*][u][b]RELIC System[/b][/u]: Relic Energized Linked Internal Computer, or RELIC, is a system utilizing ancient artifacts to form a suit or armor and weapons capable of resisting and destroying the Phase. These artifacts heard of only in legend have most frequently degraded to the point where they are absolutely useless on their own, but when a Tuner equipped with the RELIC system aligns with a relic this internal energy is converted int a suit of armor and weapons, that are used to destroy the Phase. The system also allows for special, named attacks that are more powerful then normal blows. (Given this is basically Symphogear, I fully encourage people to come up with attack name cards)[/list]
