Welcome to MSO, the public beta of STARsoft's latest and greatest open-world combat rpg. Become a Magical Girl to defeat the DarkSpawn of evil, connect with other magical girls to defeat bosses harboring WishSouls to make your dreams come true, discover the secrets of Myso and find the greatest treasure of all. This MMORPG uses the latest in NeuroReality technology, compatible with any third-generation neurogenerative interface decks or higher, with forward facing architectural designs to ensure compatibility and updates for years to come.


However, the public beta would end up being the last development of the game and any like it. Political tensions rose following its release as nations went on lockdown and the sky became lit by flames worldwide. No one today is quite sure of the events leading up to the largest revolt in human history, but tales speak caution of breaking the black veil. And with the world's population settling at 1/300th of what it once was, everyone had shifted their focus to their survival. Nations that once stood proud had lost all meaning; and in it's place rose communities forming around their skills, talents, and overall usefulness.


In a broken world, education and supporting the youth has become one of the pillars of hope for humankind. Youth are sent to an inner city and automatically enrolled into the local academy of their parent's choosing, or otherwise availability, while they continue to work in support of the region without further contact with their child until their graduation; where children become fully recognized citizens and given the opportunity, based on academic merit, live in the region of their choice.

It is in this city that the youth learn to exist and govern themselves before joining the working class of the adults. Though somewhat small, most of the needs for survival are abundant thanks to the working adults on the outside. Food kiosks are plentiful and automatically stocked from the inner workings of the city. And while there is no direct factory supplying basic commodities, most mundane items can be ordered and delivered to an individual's dorm overnight from the outside. Most youth are enrolled into the academy at age 8, graduate at age 20, and spend the next 5 years supporting the city and honing their merit and interests. It isn't until they reach their 25th birthday that they are required to submit their academic merit and live the rest of their lives away from the youth. Though, access to the network remains until they leave the city.

Kame Academy is the region's leading learning institution. For the most part, there are little to no classrooms. And only a few common areas, the main public gathering spot being the cafeteria. Most of the students spend their time either in their dorms, or out exploring the cities. Lessons are handed out via their in-dorm computer, and, for the most part, can be accessed and even completed while logged on. The main activity for students, and even most of those already graduated, is the world of Myso.


Myso is the entirety of the world created in Mahou Shoujo Online. What was originally built as a public beta test a century ago has evolved steadily without credit over the years. No one knows how the changes are implemented, or if they were there from the start and only discovered in a random moment. Most traces of its scripted narration has been replaced with expansive customization features allowing for a more personalized online avatar than what was clearly intended to be designed for a magical girl. Over the years, the genre of individual characters has been shown to expand all the way from the mundane to steampunk to even the facsimile of famous characters. Though, the avatar in itself remains unique to the user's personality and doesn't seem to be influenced into change easily.

There are many environments to the world of Myso. At it's center is a town not too dissimilar to Kame City, dubbed Myso City or Myso Proper. This is also the log in point for most avatars. Expanding out clockwise is six other regions; starting with the Ruined Kingdom of the north, followed by the Great Sea, Mountain of Ygirr, Valley Demise, Ignis Mines, and the Roving Planes. Monsters known as the DarkSpawn seem to reemerge enmasse nightly but can appear anywhere seemingly at anytime that is outside of Myso Proper, the only safe haven against the beasts of evil.

_{(details to come)}

Characters in this rp come in two identities; an academy student and online persona. Online persona can come in any flavor identity you can dream up; it can be, but doesn't have to be a magical girl- that is just the setting this world takes place in. If you want to make a superhero-esque character or other media-lite ripoff, feel free. The power is in the narrative, not the technicality; and for the most part isn't geared to be important to the plot for the most part.


As listed, this is mostly just a school/academy slice of life with the ability to hang around town and enter MSO to go on fantastical adventures. There are secrets and plots to discover, especially in the world of MSO, and events to help push the story along.

I'll update as I can, as this is primarily an interest check. Though please feel free to ask any specific questions regarding anything.
