Queen Victoria was crowned some 48 years ago and England, as well as the world, has known relative peace under the British Empire world’s Hegemony. Under such peace the land prospered and it’s people were propulsed into the future through the advancements in technology and industry. People were attracted to cities, and it’s opportunities, like moths to light. Although, as moths sometime dies by the heat of the light’s flame, so too does the English people. The rapid expansion of industries did little in the way of safety procedures and, frankly, seemed to care little in the safety, or lack thereof, of the people who worked for them. Similarily, the general living conditions for the new middle class and working class in cities were abysmal. As such, a majority of the people who came to cities for it’s many opportunities ended up… discouraged, to say the least. An air of depression fell on these poor people, with no one to really care about them...but posivity was not to be destroyed utterly. In these times of scientifical discoveries and industrialization there remained a speck of magic - a drop of unknown and mysticism. Magic, as it was, exists and always has. In a way. Magic, of course, for the lack of a better word. Even in this atmosphere of hard and tough reality, children could still be found running around, playing and being kids. Happy. This is why, most probably, the mentioned magic was most often found in younger folks. More precisely, young girls from early teens to young adulthood, mostly. Their nomenclature might change from one place to another, but it would always remain something along the lines of [center]"[color=f6989d][b]Magical Girls[/b][/color]" [/center] or a variation of something Magical in the region’s lore. Here, they are known as Magical Girls to themselves, but also "[color=f6989d]Witches[/color]". They didn’t come to exists out of thins air. Creatures known as "[color=a2d39c]Pixies[/color]", feary like little creatures, give those humans their powers. Why? To fight off creatures of Darkness, of course. Creatures that come to existence through human negative thoughts and emotions and feeds off of them until, eventually, they consume their host and take physical form. The duty of a Witch is to stops these creatures from taking Physical form, or destroying them as quickly as possible if they reach such a state. Those creatures are known as "[color=black][b]Hydes[/b][/color]".

Can be called as such, or as Witches in this universe. Their age can vary from young teen to young adult, but only girls are targeted. They gain their powers from Pixies. Their magics vary from one Witch to another, but they all take their magics from their Pixies companions. The magic powers are limited to the Pixie's reserves. [/cell] [cell] Pixies [sub][sup][color=black]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub] Small entities of light, positivism and generally, all things Good. Nevertheless, they live hidden from Humans and the Darkness they often bring. They are veiled in mystery and not much is known of their society. The only certain thing is that that come to humans when they need a new Witch and enhances them with their magic to allow them to fight Hydes; their polar opposites and nemesis. [/cell] [cell] Hydes [sub][sup][color=black]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub] They are born from Human's negativity and darkness and feed on misery, pain and suffering of others. They are invisible to anyone and anything except for Witches and Pixies, whom they fight almost on sight. A Hyde can become visible by humans, and also extremely more dangerous, if they feed enough that they can consume the Human that spawned them. Hydes are the polar opposites of Pixies.

That was until Veronica and Sophia, two of the elder Witches in the area, grouped together to form a sort of group or 'covent' in order to unify their forces and more easily dispatch any threats that might appears. Every Witch in the area were invited, regardless of social class. Maybe there would be frictions, maybe they wouldn't all initially be comfortable around each others...but in the end, they had the same goal, did they not? As such, the Witches of this story mostly knows one another already. They would have hunted together and spoke to eachothers at least a few times before the beginning of this tale. As it stands out, to facilitate their reunions, they just decided on a location to be their '[i]Headquarters[/i]'...Sophia's home. A large and well placed estate in a quiet place in a rich neighborhood, near the edge of town. That is where the group agreed to meet up tonight, in order to discuss the coming night's event: a joint hunt for a larger than normal herd of Hydes.

This is a RP idea from LuckyBlackCat and myself that we've been working on for a while and wanted to try out. Our names might be interchangeable because sometimes one will have written something the other will post, so don't mind that too much. Ultimately, it's a Magical Girl's story Roleplay, but with a twist as it takes place in the past - the Victorian Era. We are looking for a small group for this RP - anywhere between 5 to 7 persons on top of ourselves. We intend for the Story to revolve around the players' characters and they give/feed us to work with, so it's not going to just be a straightforward line where you follow a premade story. There will be a premade story and general guideline, but players input and characters will influence events and story a lot. As such, we are looking for players that are willing to work with us and give as much as they receive. We're looking for people that will not ghost on us. If you have to or want to for any reasons at all then please, please tell us. We will understand, we just want to know so that we can adapt ! We will keep this Interest Short with all that's necessary and not much more until we find enough persons to build up the OOC. See you around ! [/right] [b][u][h3]Rules:[/h3][/u][/b] [list] [*] No godmodding, metagaming, powergaming or anything of the sort. Even magical girls have their weaknesses. [*] Post your CS in the OOC, and move it to the Characters section once I and SimpleWriter approve it. [*] Each player may have a maximum of two characters each. [*] Posts don't have to be super long, but please write at least a paragraph, give other players a decent amount to work with. Quality and content is encouraged over quantity for the sake of quantity. [*] Be respectful of each other OOC. If issues come up, please try to resolve them calmly and without drama. Drama won't be tolerated in OOC or the coming Discord. [*] Please, please, please don't ghost on us! Life happens, we understand that, but if you have to take a break or drop out, please let us know. [*] Violence, swearing and innuendo are fine to an extent, the feel of this RP will get quite gritty at times after all. However, we don't want excessive descriptions of gore, graphic sexual content etc, so refer to the guild's rules. [*] To confirm that you've read the rules, put the title of the last magical girl anime/manga you watched/read somewhere in your application post. If you're new to magical girl stuff, put the last anime or manga you watched or read instead. [*] If you have any questions, ask away. [*] First and foremost, have fun![/list] [h2][b][i]CS Skeleton:[/i][/b][/h2] Without Tables [hider] [u]Regular Identity[/u] [color=cadetblue][i]• Name • Age • Personality • Interests • Strengths • Fears • History [u][color=white]Magical Identity[/color][/u] • Witch Name • Weapon • Pixie • Transformed State • Magic[/i][/color] [/hider] With Tables [hider] [code] [center][h1][b][u][color=cadetblue]Name Placement[/color][/u][/b][/h1][/center] [hr] [center][img]https://i.ibb.co/t4Pm5Z1/my-hero-academia-1131468-1280x0.jpg[/img][/center] [table][row][/row][row][cell] [color=cadetblue][h3]name Placement[/h3][/color] Additional Infos [sub][sup][color=white]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub] [/cell] [cell] [h3][color=cadetblue]Personality:[/color][/h3] Proin interdum vel elit nec placerat.
