[b]"Final Friendship Banishment!"[/b]

The thirteen year old girl spun in a circle, her skirt flickering in the wind as her teammates surrounded her, joining their powers together in a final, cataclysmic moment.  Their staffs, swords, wands, and other magical implements touched together as their power cojoined - their previous conflicts forgotten as their realization that they must work together to defeat thier foes physically manifesting as a great, magical power!  Spirals of green and blue circled around their foe, containing him.

The dollmaster let out a screech as the girls, together, finished banishing her with the [b]Power of Friendship©[/b].  The city was saved!

It was over, but the girls looked at eachother.  "Friends forever, yeah?"  They all nodded and cheered eachother on, smiling.  The futures for them would be bright and wonderful!

At least if Emily hadn't gotten knocked up by one of her friend's brothers at 18, if her little sister Lucy didn't remain eternally young and develop crippling alcoholism as a result.  Some of them managed their teenage years well, and instead became slaves to the 9-5 work shift or wasted away their days in a lustful and unhealthy pursuit of other women.  Some of their group was a bit more successful, but the reality was that most of them had grown apart from each other, as most children eventually do.

But words had power, and the [b]Power of Friendship©[/b] wasn't going to let them leave the city and get on with their lives normally.  Some of them may fight for justice in their spare time or when its convenient, but the reality is that the group has split apart.  But when a new evil arises, will these women dawn their old (and probably cringey looking on any thirty year old) costumes and get close enough that once again they can use the [b]Power of Friendship©[/b] to defeat their foe and save the city once more?

[hr]

20 years ago the group of Magical Girls known as [b]Justice Heart[/b] formed from a group of various young girls, each with their own powers, origins, and personality.  Working together as a team, they ultimately defeated the Dollmaster Katherine who manipulated her minions in an attempt to take over San Francisco by using the [b]Power of Friendship©[/b].  Now into adulthood, they all still have their powers, but the legendary [b]Power of Friendship©[/b] is gone as most of them don't speak to each other.

[hider=Setting]The Setting is San Fransisco, a large metropolis on the Western Coast of the United States.  In this case, it is more or less acting as a placeholder for 'large generic city' that can suit our purposes as we need it to.  I don't think there is much more to say here, as the focus of this roleplay is not on the city itself.[/hider]
[hider=Magical Girls, and their Powers][b]The Powers Themselves[/b]
I'm not going to try and restrict too much here, but in short every aspect of the powers your magical girl have should be able to be flavored in such a manner that it could show up in a PG children's show of this genre, like Tokyo Mew Mew or Sailor Moon.  When I say 'flavored', I mean that it should be able to displayed in such a manner that it would follow that rule.  Justice Heart's original adventure was closer to Tokyo Mew Mew than Madoka Magica.

That doesn't mean it can't also be 'flavored' towards being a bit more serious now that the characters are older.  As an example, a being who granted you powers and forced you to be eternally a child as a price may be something that could appear on a PG TV show.  But in a more serious context, it has serious life-ruining social implications.  Something like Airbending has the ability to easily appear on a PG TV show, but an adult could easily figure out how to force someone to choke to death with it.  Something like stabbing yourself repetitively to send blood out to attack your foes would NOT be appropriate, given that there isn't really a way to display that in a PG manner.

[b]Why doesn't anyone recognize us?[/b]
The girl's identities, unless revealed, are hidden.  How?  Well, when a Magical Girl transforms, people's ability to link the face they see to the person behind the face is distorted - only those closest to the person might think they seem [i]familiar[/i], but not over television - it would have to be in person.  The usual transformation process also confuses people, as the costumes (same as they had when together as Justice Heart) look drastically different than what each of them would wear day-to-day.

You can still let people know by telling them, and obviously transforming in front of them will make things apparent.

[b]How many Magical Girls are there, and where do they come from?[/b]
It is well known that Magical Girls exist - however in a single city there has never been more than one group, and they only seem to appear when a supernatural evil is about to or has arisen.  Magical Girls also can introduce their friends to the group - and although the girls probably don't directly grant the powers those who do take notice and typically approach them - whether an item, a stuffed animal, or simply the force of justice itself grants the powers, being around other magical girls and knowing their true identities seems to vastly increase the chances that you'll become one too.  It seems by the time they reach 20 however, most of the girls retire from questing and settle down with the supernatural evils being destroyed.

[hider=Character Sheet]
Name:
Appearance: (Either a description or a picture, but I'd prefer the picture to be them as an Adult)
Magical Girl Costume: (I understand it can be hard to find adult magical girls, so instead you have the option of describing a picture or taking one of how it looked as a child.  Keep in mind, the costumes are tied in by the magic and haven't grown up with the characters.)
Powers: (A short description of your powers, abilities, and any signature moves.)
Source: (Where do your powers come from?)
History with Justice Heart: (What was your characters introduction to Justice Heart?  What was their character development arc?)
History after Justice Heart: (What happened afterwards?  How does your character typically view their former teammates and the previous events?)
Relationships: (You probably haven't broken all your ties with the other magical girls - there may be one or two who your are forced to interact with in the mundane world.  You also may have family - exes, children, spouses, parents.  Give quick [1 sentence] descriptions of them.  If it comes to relationships with other magical girls, PM them and come up with something.  I'd like for everyone to at least be on speaking terms with 1 other magical girl.  You may also want to document any major conflicts that have arisen with other magical girls as they show up in the RP or as they occurred in the background)

[b]Rules[/b]
1. Don't be a Dick.
2. Your main character must have been a magical girl that was a member of Justice Hearts (may change this if the story calls for it) 20 years ago.  You are not allowed to have your primary character be male, support, or any similar sort of thing.  They can be background NPCs that exist to enrich your main character, but keep in minds that means they may be [s]decapitated[/s] moved around as the plot demands.  Also, look at what other characters do and consider trying not to step on their toes.
3. Posts are supposed to be a couple paragraphs long.  Quality matters more than quantity, and I don't want to see pointless rambling.  That being said, a good indicator of how long a post should be is looking at those around you to see what they are up to.
