The General Plot


Long ago at the birth of modern society where our civilization made it's foothold in history, the negative emotions of Humanity have pooled and manifested together into great beasts of shadow and hatred that threatened the safety of those who gave rise to them. For Humanity to thrive the presence of such terrible creatures, magic was used to create a great artifact to control the essence of 5 great elements that made up the world and champion those who would stand against the forces of darkness. The essence of Fire, Nature, Lightning, Metal, and Ice were bound into Five Guardian Maidens who watched over the land. Throughout the countless ages the titles of Guardians were passed on to new, young vessels who carried on the task of protecting mankind from it's own dark emotions made manifest. But it was not enough.

They could not keep all of the beasts at bay, and soon a great Calamity came in the form of a beast far too powerful for the Five Guardians to keep at bay. All they could do in a desperate attempt to keep the creature at bay was place it under a great seal and leave it to slumber deep beneath the earth. The Guardians became bound to the land that the seal was placed upon, destined to stand watch over the Five Gates that served to maintain the seal. The calamity slumbering below the earth became known as simply "The Fallen," and with it being sealed away the strength of the other beasts that threatened humanity began to dwindle. With the weakening of the Shadow beasts, and the threat of "The Fallen" forgotten to time, Humanity began to thrive and great city was built around the magical sanctuaries where the gates stood.

It is now the modern era, and Nesel City as it came to be known is thriving. Under the watchful eye of the Five Magical Maidens, the citizens of the city live in ignorant peace as the beasts are kept at bay and hidden from the modern sight with the magical power of the great artifact that grants their power. The time has come, and a new generation of Guardian Maidens have been chosen; obtaining their tokens that bind them to the fate of Guardian. In modern culture, the popular term for their task has been referred to as "Magical Girls." With the old generation to guide them, they must rise to the task of protecting the Gate Seals and hunting the beasts of manifested negativity for the sake of all!

  • - Please post in a timely manner, if you do not without letting us know you will have to be kicked from the rp
  • - Literacy is important! Nobody will stress the small stuff like minor errors but if your posts are consistently of poor quality you're gonna be out. We have to know what you're doing!
  • - Your character must be approved and added to the character roster before posting in the IC. Please be patient and follow the standard character sheet provided below when submitting.
  • - I can understand when someone has little to work with from post to posts, but try to post at minimum of 1 to 2 paragraphs when posting!
  • - There can be only ONE Magical Girl in each generation of each Element, I'm sorry if you want one that's taken but this is non-negotiable!
  • - You can play up to 2 characters, but you can only play ONE character in each generation and they must be of DIFFERENT elemental types! This is intentionally designed to allow everyone to have someone to interact with at any given time, and allow you to switch off between them as you feel the need to so you can keep things fresh!
  • - Remember to tag the people you're interacting with, it's just polite and keeps everyone focused on their interactions.
  • - Please respect the rules as posted, and remember to have fun!


* If you believe that I should add anything to the rules feel free to discuss it with me publicly or privately in the OOC! *


















As gm I will be selecting my character after all initial submissions so that those who want their choice of element can have the ones they wanted.

Question, how "raw" should elemental powers be? Like, not what I am thinking of doing, but should fire powers be raw elemental burst of flame / lava or could it be something like, the creation of a fire lance / whip or the ability to throw fireworks and the like?

Depends on the generation of the character you're running. Ideally a new generation magical girl is quite literally out of the box so to say, like maybe a week since they were chosen as a guardian. So the extent of their powers will be incredibly raw in practice until they either play around with it and figure it out on their own (which will take a lot longer for them to figure out form and control), or they are instructed directly by their elder.

As for the elders, as creative as you can get. Molten lava can be arguably Fire or Metal depending on perspective. Similarly can the water magical girl control the water inside of plants? My personal take would be yes, with extreme difficulty and imprecision since it's like manipulating a puppet by their strings rather than by their arms directly. If that makes sense.

So, the primary difference is the new fire magical girl would be needing to really focus just to spew fire out of her hands while the elder could say smack her hands together Full Metal Alchemist style and part her hands to a literal fire lance and throw it to cause massive explosions.

So tl:dr, raw or refined relative to their experience. And mind you, the elder magical girls are also "past their prime" and are slowly declining in power while the new ones are slowly rising in power.

I hope it helps!

Wonderful! This is a wonderful example of what I had in mind! You can go ahead and place it in the characters section, and when we get a few more approved characters I'll give us a starting post and we'll get this show on the road! I'll be sure to tag you into the post when we're ready.

I'll also claim my Characters and Elements in 2 characters so everyone gets their chance at their preferred elements.

Thank you for your participation!

I have a few ideas for newcomers and I am still trying to decide which one best fits the RP, here is my elder magical girl though.

This is acceptable!

As I may be asked to address it at some point and I want to be polite and forward in my duties as a GM I feel obligated to note there were some minor grammatical errors present and mixed uses of "in" and "on" may be confusing but these did not impede my ability to understand the text presented. So just be sure to double check and all.

I like her upbeat personality and I am eager to see how she'll use her metal kinetic abilities in fun and unexpected ways. As a mentor character her interactions with the group will be fun to see, but bear in mind they have lives and such so mind her schedules. I look forward to RP'ing with you if you are still ready to play! Feel free to move her to the characters section and I will add you into the roster.

Also, I encourage you all to remember you can play one character in each generation to fill in the times your characters would not be present for. If you feel you would have to force a character into a scenario often feel free to submit a second character and switch them off when you feel the necessity!

Very lovely character sheets! I love them both and I think it'll be an interesting twist to have the generation gap be... Well, familial sometimes. The dynamic still maintains the purpose of the 2 different element rule as well, as the mother would likely want to guide and tutor her daughter but different elements function differently so she likely would only be do so much. This pairing adds a dynamic relationship to the narrative, allows others to easily participate with them with purpose, and overall I love their designs and histories!

Approved. You may move them over to the characters tab and I will add you to our cast list!

And with that, while we're still waiting for Celes to move their approved character to the Character tab, I think my grace period is officially over and I can select my elements if that's alright with everyone! Then from there we'll get this show on the road! Cue the opening!

Oh and as I was writing that, we have another Elder! I love it, fun backstory and a good motivation for justice. Can't wait to see how they interact with the group! Guess this solidifies me as Magical Girl Elder Ice, and new gen Magical Girl of Nature.

Edit - OH GEEZ I FORGOT

Approved! Go ahead and move them over to the Character section and I'll add it into the cast listing!

Unfortunately at this point, I think between all 5 people since one has verbalized their intent to play a new generation magical girl along with me currently making my character, I think we have officially reached our current max capacity.

I'm very sorry! I will properly change the availability as soon as I have my character sheet up.

Thank you for your consideration!

Here you go guys, my characters! I'll move them over to the character section tomorrow.... That took way longer to find the right images than I thought.... I might redo Yuki's bio a little sometime, I feel like my tired-ness effected my writing a bit there. It is 3am after all! Haha... ha...

Welp with that, I'll be doing a quick lore dump on the Shadow Creatures tomorrow in the description, I kinda forgot to do that and that's my bad! And then I'll write us up our introduction Post!

Thank you for being here with me everyone! Lets have fun!

Feel free to comment on my characters if you like. I'd love to hear what you think!~
