[hider=Coco] Name: Coco Age (Magical Girl): 15 Age (Before Magical Girl): 23 Gender: Female Gender (Before Magical Girl): Female [b]Appearance: [/b] [hider=Normal] [img]https://i.redd.it/bvo3c9jf06a51.jpg[/img] Coco appears younger then she is, despite the fact that she is in the body of a fifteen year old. People have mistaken her for eleven or twelve and it kind of bugs her.[/hider] [hider=Transformed] [img]https://pm1.narvii.com/6560/c08b123166e07ab297886bcbec85e967f59f4b60_00.jpg[/img] Transforming, Coco looks more mature... but in truth this is something of a deception built into the outfit itself. She's as underdeveloped as she is normally, the dress just gives the impression of a more... robust woman.[/hider] [b]Specialization:[/b] [i]Water[/i] Coco has a deep connection with water and is a rather powerful water mage because of it. [b]Weapon:[/b] Coco's weapon manifests as a Barrett M82 that is proportional to her body. It does match the purple of her dress through. It doesn't have a name because people who name their guns are weird. [b]Power: [/b] [i]Third Eye[/i] A true mage, Coco has a deeper understanding of magic and thus can see and 'read' it. [b]Perks: [/b] [i]Enhanced Transformation[/i] Inline with the phase that triggers it 'Time is Money'. [i]Disguise Artifact[/i] Not everything Greed requests of his agents is, strictly speaking, legal. Being able to wear a different face while doing them is a boon. [i]Familiar[/i] Coco has a Tibetan Mastiff puppy named Rupert. Rupert is in fact a familiar that was granted by Greed as part of the contract; The form is literally because Tibetan Mastiffs are some of the most expensive dogs one can buy. Rupert can transform into a 'beast' mode, basically just going from a 'puppy' to a full grown Tibetan Mastiff. [i]Inter-dimensional Home[/i] Part of the arrangement with Greed is that Coco don't need to pay for rent as they're given a pretty good apartment that they can access just about any time... and can even invite friends over. Pets are even allowed! Just... don't ask what's happening outside the window, you won't get any context. [i]Money[/i] On top of everything else, working for Greed gives a direct monthly paycheck. $3000 (factoring inflation) a month when you don't have to pay for rent or bills for services like electricity or water can build up quickly over time. It's nice being the rich friend. [i]Incognito (Crimson Coin)[/i] In exchange for her dedication and good service, The Spirit of Greed rewarded Coco with a Crimson Coin. After much consideration, Coco decided to use it in order to better serve the Spirit of Greed's agenda by becoming... easy to forget. Difficult to notice in the first place. [b]Patron: [/b] Spirit of Greed [b]Patron Benefits: [/b] [i]Mental Link[/i] The Spirit of Greed likes to keep in touch with their agents and a direct link to their mind is so much easier then trying to call. [i]Payment[/i] It would be a very strange thing if the Spirit of Greed couldn't pay their magical agents in magical coinage. While Greed is well known for being tight on their wallet, the enforces of his will are well paid for their services. [i]Supplier[/i] While it is true that the agents of Greed might not be the greatest of fighters, if they aren't taken out quickly they will simply outlast the opposition due to the abundance of resources coming in. [i]Hidden Death[/i] Greed is eternal. [i]Mystical Might[/i] When Coco requested some additional training in how to make use of her water magics, Greed was willing to assist despite not really having that strong a connection with water in and of itself. [b]Patron Drawbacks:[/b] [i]Rival Force[/i] Socialism has long been a thorn in Capitalism's side... fighting for worker rights and getting in the way of profit. [i]Big Brother[/i] "You signed away your privacy when you were hired." [i]Alien Mind[/i] The best way to describe how Greed thinks and views the world from a human point of view is if a multinational corporation had entered a human vessel that allowed it to speak as an entity in and of itself. It doesn't view people as individuals as much as they are parts of a greater machine. The Magical Girls/Monster Girls on the payroll are merely important pieces of the machine that help ensure the rest of it runs as it should. [i]Vendetta[/i] The Servants of the Beacon are just as frustrating to deal with as the Spirit of Socialism. Trying to enforce their misguided morals and generally getting in the way of profit. [b]Fighting Style:[/b] Coco is, despite appearances, a subtle fighter. She favors a single kill shot without the target ever knowing what hit them before they hit the ground, be it via bullet or usage of her water magics. If caught up in a longer engagement, she will generally prefer fighting from a distance and avoiding being caught up in melee combat. She is not afraid to cut her loses and bail on a fight if it means she'll live to fight another day... and most likely take another crack at the target when they're not expecting it. Stats (Untransformed): These start at 3. CYOA options indicate if they apply out of costume as well. STR: 3 AGI: 3 VIT: 3 MAG: 4 LCK: 3 Stats (Transformed): These start at 4. STR: 5 AGI: 12 VIT: 8 MAG: 12 LCK: 4 Personality: Coco was once a rather timid, fearful woman. Her concerns about what tomorrow might bring haunted her thoughts and plagued her dreams because there was always that worry about where tomorrows rent or the next meal would come from. When the worst happened as she got so badly sick that she lost her job, her depression threatened to consume her completely as she drowned in dread. Meeting Greed changed Coco for the better in that Greed has not only given her a free start, but removed many of the fears that plagued her former life. Her loyalty to the Spirit of Greed is borderline zealous, despite the fact that occasionally she will be asked to do something that her old self would have been horrified at the idea of. [b]History:[/b] Coco was struggling to support herself when a bout of illness resulted in her losing her job and suddenly being buried by medical debt. As she was drowning in depression, she was visited by what would turn out to be the Spirit of Greed who offered her a contract deal. In exchange for becoming his employee, all of her debts would disappear and she would get a fresh start at life. Greed provided all this and more... through Coco hadn't expected the 'new life' to be so literal. Still, as a magical girl her patron has taken great care of her and she intends to prove that she was worth the investment. Incantation: "[color=fff200]Time is money and you're a waste of both.[/color] Additional Info: Magical Coins: [/hider] [hider=Patron Greed] [b]Type:[/b] Lesser Force [b]Name:[/b] The Spirit of Greed (Also goes by the Spirit of Capitalism and many more names) [b]Personality:[/b] On the surface, the Spirit of Greed is a rather pleasant, friendly fellow. A true master of the first impression, those that encounter them often walk away feeling like they've made a friend for life... if they're [i]really[/i] lucky, something will happen that will cause Greed to lose interest in them before the jaws of the trap snap shut. Greed's interest in humans extends only as far as their value to him, be it in furthering his goals, fleecing them for all they are worth, or occasionally as a valued employee/agent and thus the closest to true 'friendship' Greed can get. What matters to Greed at the end of the day is the bottom line. All he cares about are positive results with the methodology and means being almost completely irrelevant. [i]Almost[/i] being the keyword. While one of their agents can be completely successful, if it becomes clear that a more profitable outcome could have been achieved then Greed will almost certainly be inclined towards asking why that path wasn't taken. They won't punish the agent in question directly if the answer isn't good enough as long as it was a positive outcome, but the incident will be remembered as a sign that maybe that agent didn't have the drive and ambition to be a favored agent. Failure is an interesting concept for Greed. While they understand perfectly well that it is possible to make all the right moves and still come up short, Greed sees failure as an opportunity. Namely, it gives Greed the opportunity to declare one of their agents in various degrees of debt, depending on just how big their screw up was and how much time and resources were poured into it and now lost. The first level of debt is simply the agent having to 'pay off' the debt in mana coins, which effectively means they continue to work as normal but don't get paid until the debt is cleared. There are deeper levels of debt that can come about. It is not recommended one falls that far through, because Greed is ruthless and will get what they are owed one way or another. If a debtor dies before their debts are paid, Greed will track down the next of kin who 'inherited' the debt that is now their problem to pay off. [b]History:[/b] The Spirit of Greed has been around for just about as long as humanity, if not longer; Greed as a tactic is largely beneficial to the individual animal in the natural world after all. However, the Spirit has long had a soft spot for Humanity because of just how far they are willing to go in pursuit of what they want. Greed's influence throughout human history cannot be denied after all. Often working alongside the Spirit of Tyranny as the two of them often found their goals aligned, the two of them have a long standing alliance and are fairly friendly with each other... but due to their natures there remains that degree of self interest. Recently, Greed's goals seem to have grown in their ambitions. With many of the old deities having faded away or becoming irrelevant over time, Greed has spent the last few centuries plotting and setting the stage in order to ascend to true deity status. [b]Resources:[/b] Greed rarely has 'normal' magical girls on their payroll... at least not for long. He does however have a rather large collection of Dark Magical Girls and Monster Girls who are more then willing to do their master's bidding in exchange for reward and payment... and Greed pays them well for their good service as he does any enforcer of his will. There are few resources both magical and mundane that are beyond the reach of those dedicated to enforcing the will of Greed upon the world. [b]Additional Info:[/b] While Greed has a direct link to the minds of his agents, he will generally manifest in the world anyway as a freelance accountant operating a small business in which he is the owner and only employee. Occasionally he'll call in his agents for a face to face chat... and privately takes pleasure in watching his agents try to hype up their own achievements while throwing blame for mishaps and failures on their team mates.
