[OOC] March of the White Rabbit: A Roll-Your-Own Magical Girl Roleplay

[Ariamis]

The world is filled with magical wonders; spirits, gods, elder beings and more, with goals and objectives as varied as life itself. Often, these beings oppose each other, and to succeed they either unleash monsters to the world, or have chosen Mahou who wield magical weapons and powers to fight their battles for them; magical girls and boys. These are people who, through some turning point in their life, have been given a new life with magical powers, a youthful body, and a grand destiny.

The city of Penrose had become a center for repeated attacks by monsters and villains, and so has attracted Mahou from a wide region. This includes the Ascendancy, an inquisitive task force of the Beacon organization, as well as various monster Mahou, who have joined together in the hidden Sanctuary. Tensions between the factions have been compounded by the rising influence of Covington Industries, a company manipulated from the shadows by the mysterious Ebon Mint. While the corporation has revitalized Penrose after a series of magic-induced disasters through its relief efforts and employment, this has only spread the organization's control on the magical populace hidden from society. The situation is complicated by the presence of the Queen of Hearts, an enigmatic entity with interest in the city's inhabitants...



Welcome to March of the White Rabbit (or MWR for short), an RP in the same universe as Darkest Before the Dawn. In this RP, normal people are chosen by Patrons to become magical girls and boys, collectively known as Mahou. Patrons are magically diverse entities, and range from cute and cuddly Puchuu to capricious Lesser Forces, proud Gods, the purifying protectors of Beacon, the dark and mysterious agents of Ebon Mint, and even terrifying Horrors from beyond. A darker than normal setting for a magical girl story, MWR engages in themes of corrupting power, fantastic discrimination, and the challenges of immortality. However, the theme of hope is also central, as is the valiant battle for peace and changing the world for the better. Will you be a defender of justice, an agent of dubious morals, or something completely different like a monster girl?

Character Creation

Characters are created for this RP using the wider setting of the Accidental Magical Girl CYOA module, found in links below. Simply follow the steps given in the module, and fill the results of choices and rolls in the character sheet.

Applicants can also use the Crimson Cradle module when creating a character and rolling for certain tables such as Powers and/or Perks; simply replace the result in the CYOA table with the corresponding one in the CC tables. Any roll that results in creating a new character (such as the Ally Perk or Twin Soul Power) can be rerolled. Note that the coins given for use in the creator can be used at any point of the creation process. All modules listed below may be used for character creation.

Dark Magical Girl/Monster Girl Creation Aid

Setting

The RP is based in the fictional city of Penrose, located somewhere in the Northeast US. Due to the increasing number of monsters in Penrose, the magical girl population is rising as well. Penrose has a population of 600,000 and is located on the east coast. The actual structure and mapping of Penrose will be kept nebulous to allow for player choice. For example, you can describe your character to be located at the hospital or train station without needing to specify further. There is also the Overcity, a magical dimension where the titular city of Mahou is located. While lesser in importance than Penrose, certain characters and events revolve around the arcane metropolis. More details on the Overcity can be found in the CYOA module.

The Rules

1. A maximum of three active characters and Patrons can be actively used at the same time. Any characters and Patrons created afterwards must replace previously created ones. Exceptions to the rule are the Allies-perk and Twin Soul-Power, which work as described in the CYOA rulings. Submit your characters first to OOC or as a PM, and once they have been approved they can be posted to the character tab and you can begin posting in IC.
2. Allies-perk and Twin Soul-power may be rerolled into another perk or power.
3. You must first ask for permission before you can create side characters and events that have a considerable effect on the RP's story. Background characters with little consequence are exempt from the rule. For example, you can have civilians witness a fight, or have a slumber party at a magical girl's house without asking for permission to include the parents. On the other hand, them turning out to be fighters or a villain suddenly causing a city-wide swarm of monsters has to be approved first. However, in general story ideas have a high chance of being approved, so don't be afraid of sharing your ideas.
4. The number of combat-ready NPCs are limited to three NPCs per player. Exceptions can be made in certain cases, such as a higher importance of the NPCs to the overall story.
5. Keep the sexual content within RPG site rulings, with a rating of PG at the very most. Romance is fine as long as it's kept clean.
6. Violence: The world of MWR is definitely darker than the average magical girl show, with violence and death as an intrinsic part of the setting. Still, please keep the gore, body horror, and anything else explicit on the tasteful side. To give an example, the tone MWR is aiming for is late-night anime like Madoka Magica at the most extreme.
7. Post Rate: Try to post at least once every one or two weeks on average. At the beginning things might move more rapidly, but don't be discouraged, as this won't likely last long. If you're not going to be able to post for a while, please let me know.
In general, try to avoid speed posting too much. But most of all, don't sweat too much about keeping a posting schedule, as this is meant to be fun without putting pressure on having to force a post out.
8. Post Standards: Your post should at least be a paragraph or two in length, include your character's thoughts and an action or some dialogue.
9. Collaboration is recommended for dialogue and/or combat between characters when they are expected to run for longer than a couple of posts. For example, Google Docs is a good place to make collaborations.
10. If your character submission is accepted, you will receive an invitation to our Discord channel dedicated for the RP. While participation is not mandatory, it is recommended as I will be making most of my announcements regarding the RP there. It is also a chill place to hang out and discuss the story, characters, or anything at all.
11. Have fun! If you don't, let me know by posting in OOC or sending me a message, and I'll see what I can do to fix the issue. If you have any ideas you want to share in private, feel free to do so as well.

Additional rulings

Luck

Luck is a stat that predictably has no clear, obvious way of being applied to any other situation, especially because suffers from the fact that there’s no actual rolling done. For future cases, Luck will be the stat that gives a small bonus to every other stat when performing an action or reaction, serving as a way to improve one’s success or soften one’s failures. Your accuracy, which the CYOA defines as something based off AGI, is partially improved by your LCK, enabling you to turn a graze into a hit or something like that. Your durability, which the CYOA defines as something based off VIT, is partially improved by your LCK, with an attack just missing your vitals or whatever else. STR and MAG are also benefited by LCK.

As a mathematical representation, imagine it like this…

STR/AGI/VIT/MAG + ¼ LCK = final stat

Stat Costs

The price of raising your stats will be changed to make it easier to get stats up to 20, but more difficult afterwards. Though the shop does not reflect that change yet, it’ll happen soon enough.

1-20: 1 Gold OR 4 Silver OR 16 Bronze
21-30: 2 Gold OR 8 Silver OR 32 Bronze
31-40: 4 Gold OR 16 Silver OR 64 Bronze

These numbers are based off the total of individual stats, taking into consideration the bevy of bonus stats one would get from perks, specializations, benefits, powers, and weapons.

Perk Bonuses

Every Perk, except for Monstrous Metamorphosis, now grants a +1 to a stat. Please go through the list below and input changes where necessary. This is largely to bridge some of the gap between monster girls and other girls, who already benefit from having access to three whole other tables of perks, as well as some hella potent mutations.

Combat Perks

+1 MAG, Mystic Artifact
+1 VIT or MAG, Enhanced Transformation
+1 VIT, Disguise Artifact
+1 LCK, Hammerspace Handbag
+1 VIT or MAG, Healing Artifact
+1 AGI or MAG, Wings
+1 MAG, Purification Artifact
+1 LCK, Awareness
+1 STR or MAG, Power Artifact

Support Perks

+1 LCK, Interdimensional Tourist
+1 STR, AGI, or VIT, Training
+1 LCK, Interdimensional Home
+1 AGI, Incognito
+1 VIT, Environmental Sealing
+1 AGI or LCK, Get Out of Jail
+1 AGI or MAG, Big Damn Hero
+1 LCK, Absolute Direction
+1 LCK, Big Backpack
+1 STR, AGI or VIT, Natural Aging
+1 MAG, Overcity Shift
+1 LCK, Money
+1 Any, Familiar
+1 VIT or MAG, Soul Jar
+1 MAG, Eternal Style
+1 LCK, Fake Parents

Red Perks

+1 Any, Big Friend
+1 LCK, Patron Interference
+1 VIT or MAG, Fix-It Band Aids
+1 MAG, Memory Link
+1 STR or MAG, Leitmotif
+1 AGI or VIT, Transfiguration
+1 LCK, Watcher
+1 MAG, Mirror Move
+1 LCK, Snapshots

Payment

Payment in magical coins will work this way for all events, including the Rave/Cindy shebang. At the end of the event, all participants will receive equal rewards, determined by the GM. Afterwards, the GMs will determine whether or not they’ve progressed their Patron’s three overarching goals. If they have, they will receive additional coinage reflecting that.

An example of overarching goals is this:

Ebon Mint
Beat Up Rival Organizations: Low Reward
Fulfill Mission Objectives: Medium Reward
Recruit New Magical: High Reward

Each of these goals must be pursued separately. If, for example, the mission objective is to recruit a new magical girl, you’ll receive only the ‘mission objective’ reward if you do not then recruit another girl outside the parameters of the mission. Otherwise, however, it is definitely possible to obtain all the goals of your Patron and receive a significant payout at the end of events. GMs will be setting the overarching goals of Beacon and Ebon Mint. Leaders of player organizations can set the overarching goals of their own organization, under the caveat that they cannot pay themselves. Magical girls beholden to a singular patron, whether it be Horror, Deity, Lesser Force, or Puchuu, can set their Patron’s overarching goals.

The more specific or difficult to achieve a goal is, the higher the payout.

The Payment Benefit doubles your rewards from progressing Patron goals. The Empty Pockets Drawback halves your rewards from progressing Patron goals. If you happen to be beholden to multiple Patrons or Organizations, you only receive the Payment/Empty Pockets modifiers for one set of goals, which should be clarified in your sheet, and must choose which set of goals you’ll want to receive rewards from at the start of an event.

Solo girls do not get bonus rewards unless they are working for someone else's Patron/Organization at the start of an event.

Headers

Everyone has a lotta shit on their sheets that GMs can’t memorize. For future posts, please include a header that contains the character’s stats, powers, perks, specializations, mutations, benefits, and drawbacks. We just need the name, not the paragraph or so of detail. Hopefully, this will reduce the amount of times a shapeshifter slips past the detection of 3 Third Eye girls, and similarly reduce incidents where someone is killed when they’re literally unable to die.

---

Patrons are allowed to interact with and even assist their chosen magical girl/s, with the following conditions:

1. Direct interference from Patrons in a combat situation or completing objectives on behalf of their chosen magical girl/s reduces coin payout if their interference is not covered in the magical girl's benefits and drawbacks.
2. This reduction is dependent on how great and/or frequent the interference was, and may affect future coin payouts as well.
3. Repeated violations of Patron interference will end up with reduced magical ability of the chosen girl/s and ultimately loss of magic.

[FamishedPants]

Hell yeah.

Silhouette

Name: Silhouette, Sil, Samantha Howard



Theme

Age (Magical Girl): 15

Age (Before Magical Girl): 28

Gender: Female

Gender (Before Magical Girl): Male

Default

She is a bit taller than other girls her age but is otherwise fairly unremarkable. Her eyes are dark brown, but seem to glow red in the dark. Her attire mostly consists of dark, conservative clothing that fits the weather.

Transformed

Her eyes are perpetually crimson red in this form, though they seem to glow brighter when she's especially focused on using her Third Eye.

Specialization:

Time - A master of her original specialization, Silhouette's skill with Time Manipulation is rarely rivaled. Each and every basic technique a mage of her kind would employ is perfected, her precision is remarkable, her mana consumption is, compared to other time mages, minimal, and she is even capable of a form of time manipulation that she herself invented.

Stasis: A unique form of halting time in which the physical state of something is completely stopped. This makes the subject impossible to alter in any way, although Silhouette is able to choose whether or not the subject can be moved. Utilizing Stasis does not require a continuous supply of mana, but instead needs an "upfront" cost which scales with size. The effect on non living objects is permanent.

Some applications shown so far include:

• Freezing various objects to use as stepping stones to reach the Sky Bastion, which otherwise would have required aid
• Creating an invulnerable barrier out of a thrown table during a fight violent debriefing friendly chat between Silhouette and Veronica
• Utilizing Stasis to change Silhouette's gloves into a passable fake Fist weapon.

Darkness - A combination of natural talent, experience in dealing with the element, tutoring from Veronica, and tireless training has granted her a familiarity with Darkness that would not normally be probable. She is not yet a master, having a noticeable preference for utility over the offensive application of Darkness. Yet, despite this focus and favoritism towards utility, her most unique use of Darkness lends itself almost solely to an offensive mindset.

"Schatten" - A type of clone constructed out of Silhouette's own shadow, and only her own shadow. Because of this, there can only ever be one at a time. It has three "forms" which dictate how it acts and its capabilities. These forms are "Umbra", "Dusk" and "Penumbra". As they are shadows, they thrive in the dark and are likewise weakened in places without. Schatten are not immune to Time Stop.

• "Umbra" acts as a sort of ghost in the likeness of Sil, in that it can move through her person without any complications whatsoever. It is often used to surprise a foe by launching an attack from an unexpected direction or for parrying.
• "Dusk" is a clone created from Sil’s shadow that can move independently. It is capable of following orders so long as they aren’t too complicated.
• "Penumbra" is the strongest form of Schatten that is fully sentient. It can be imbued with a personality of Silhouette’s choosing, including the 'voice'. Unlike the other Schatten, ones created in this way can easily be passed off as a person, though they are not impossible to see through, particularly by those sensitive to magic.

Weapon:

ChronoRend - A shorter blade that has been put into Stasis, allowing it to retain its sharpness and prevents it from being manipulated by others. It is a very simple but effective weapon, capable of being used for silent eliminations or to defend him in a fight, and has proven to channel his mana very well.

Scarlet Avenger (Crimson Cradle) - A high caliber sniper rifle that consumes a large amount of mana per shot in exchange for high stopping power. Its special effect is to inflict wounds that cannot heal while it is being used, but ceases any healing on the user as well.

Knight Fist (Crimson Cradle) - Dark gauntlets with an acceptably edgy backstory. They essentially Imagine Breaker Dark Magical Girls who wear them, although at the cost of hearing a voice whispering "End it all" every now and then.

Powers:

Focused Assault - Sil can opt to dump a decent amount of mana into her blade, which can then be used to strike at time itself, bypassing defenses of a foe by cutting everything in the space the time occupied.

Regeneration (Gold Coin Spent) - Perhaps it is the result of her new body, perhaps it's subconscious use of accelerated time, or perhaps it's a bit of both. Either way, Sil has a healing factor well beyond anything a human can hope for. Cuts, stabs, missing limbs... none of it really seems to last too long. Decapitation or an exploded heart might be the only way to keep her down for good.

Third Eye (Dark Magical Girl) - Special sight that gives her information a normal magical girl does not receive. She is able to pick up on supernatural things, such as magic, even before the spell is cast. This allows her extra time to react.

Teleportation (Ruby Coin) - Mobility is an important tool to have as an assassin, and doubly so is mobility that is practical in a fight. Silhouette is capable of disappearing and then reappearing some distance away to any point she can see, though it requires more time and effort for longer jumps.

Perks:

Enhanced Weapon - Her weapons may look plain, but they do their job excellently.

Enhanced Outfit - Despite appearances, her attire can take a beating.

Enhanced Transformation - Theatrics don't suit Silhouette very well. She's lessened her downtime between transformation and even protects herself with time magic as she transforming.

Martial Training - As someone in the special forces, who became a hired killer due to talent, who also came to work under a deity dealing with war, Sil is very knowledgeable about war, its tools, and how to use them effectively.

Incognito - Her prior life allowed for no recognition, and so she's learned how to keep her head down and not stick out from the crowd, making it rather difficult to recall her face in passing. It also makes her outfit somewhat ironic.

Gifted(Emergency) - Murder is her talent, and she has proved that her specialization in Time Manipulation was a perfect fit. She is capable of Stasis, a self-made variant of stopping time.

Awareness(Emergency) - Details have always been important to her occupation, be they big or small. She is keen on picking up anything out of the ordinary, and, as one who ambushed people for a living, is especially difficult to ambush herself.

Patron: Vermilion Veronica and the Crimson Cradle (not a band, at least not yet)

Patron Benefits:

Vermilion Veronica:

Black Coin - Spent rather early on, after nearly being defeated by a powerful monster. It has granted her power, but also gave something sinister the chance to manifest.

Non-Exclusivity - Sil had the ability to freely choose an employer on a whim, but has stuck with Veronica despite this. Given the nature of their contract, this isn’t really the case anymore.

The Crimson Cradle:

Top Idol - She did it, boys. Pack your bags, it's all downhill from here. It seems Veronica has taken a fancy to her, and provides her with things a lot easier and more often than any of her other agents. Seeing this sort of preferential treatment may cause feelings of happiness and glee in another, lesser individual. But not in Sil, or so she pretends.

Cradle Supply - Artifacts, agents, weapons... Veronica has them all and won't charge for a loan, so long as things are returned in pristine condition. Mid-mission resupplies aren't out of the question either, provided she's nearby.

Connected - With both the ability to find a fellow agent wherever they may be and the ability to speak with them at any given moment, team coordination should be easy. Should.

Patron Drawbacks:

Vermillion Veronica:

Debt - After Veronica stuck her neck out to retrieve her after the fight with Justine, Sil feels she owes her a debt.

Betrayal - Silhouette is under no impression that a former Mint broker will suddenly start welcoming agents who are of little to no use to her, and she is okay with this.

The Crimson Cradle

Sadistic - To an outsider, the occasional murder attempt from an employer may be a turn off. To Sam, however, it's almost endearing. Given some of the best loadouts, but also given the most difficult of jobs, and critiqued more than anyone else. It's tough love alright.

Exposed - Sil no longer has a true private life. Her every action seems to be recorded by Veronica. And much like a certain search engine, nothing escapes her sight.

Penance - A tool is thrown away when it has no use. Nothing new or surprising here.

Fighting Style: Not long ago, Silhouette preferred to end each encounter as soon as possible. The ideal fight for her was one her opponent never even knew they were a part of. As expected of an assassin, after all. But things have since changed.

Accepting a darker part of herself that she'd been rejecting up until this point, Silhouette now reluctantly understands that fights are enjoyable to her. Because of this, she's unlikely to launch a surprise attack on an unsuspecting foe if she can help it. A fight to test one's limits is preferable.

For actual battle tactics, Silhouette prefers to get close and personal. Her weapon, even by melee standards, is rather short-range. Thus, she is not much of a threat at a distance. She has the tools necessary to keep close to her target and rush them down.

Her default loadout consists of merely her blade, but she may supplement this with Stasis in some form, such as using Stasis on her other arm or an item to act as a small shield. She is prone to using the environment to her advantage. On top of typical stabs and slashes with her blade, she will throw in some punches, kicks, and even grabs if she can.

Untransformed

Stats:
STR: 3
AGI: 3
VIT: 3
MAG: 3
LCK: 3

Transformed

Stats (Transformed):
STR: 4 (+1 Overdeveloped, +1 Melee, +1 Martial Training, +1 Enhanced Weapon, +1 Enhanced Outfit, +2 1 Silver) = 11
AGI: 4 (+1 Time, +1 Gifted, -1 Platinum Coin, -1 Ruby Coin) = 4
VIT: 4 (+1 Melee, +1 Darkness, -1 Platinum Coin, -1 Ruby Coin) = 4
MAG: 4 (+2 Darkness, +1 Gifted, +8 2 Silver and 4 Bronze Coins) = 15
LCK: 4 (+2 Time, -2 Platinum Coin, -1 Ruby Coin) = 3

Personality: Once upon a time, Samantha Howard was a magical girl who experienced almost no emotions and lived only to complete her jobs. As if she were a robot.

Now, however, that has changed. No longer does she suffer an emotional drought. She has now begun to exhibit more than a few human-like qualities.

Silhouette can come off as cold and unapproachable due to her tendency not to speak much unless spoken to, or when the situation calls for it. She is not often the one to start conversations, at least. But she's not hostile by default. Her mannerisms accurately paint the picture that she is a serious human being. That she is, but she isn't devoid of humor. She pretends otherwise, but she desires to be more like other girls -- more open with how she feels. It's not always easy, at least for her.

She is a bit of a sadist, or at least she thinks she is. Upon first getting a good glimpse of Mika's face, all she could really think about (aside from the crippling pain she was experiencing at the time) was how cute it could look if someone messed with her. Unfortunately (or fortunately) she has yet to act upon these sorts of feelings.

Silhouette is also able to take the initiative and plan something for the sake of another. She took note of Richard Davis' destroyed shop sign, the fact that it was his birthday soon, and then sought to celebrate it by baking him a cake. She then learned her talent was not in the kitchen. But, she employed other people who could help her both make a cake and replace the sign he'd lost. There's some generosity in there somewhere.

History: Once upon a time, Silhouette was a young assassin who was renowned for both his skill at completing a job quickly and efficiently. Tempered over countless murders, Silhouette was essentially a robot in that they only cared about completing their job and being paid, and even then, it never seemed like he had any real ambitions or needs that would require a job that was so dangerous. Still, he continued to do what he knew best until a certain job had a rather unintended and significant impact.

Having been contracted to kill a potentially dangerous (to his client) business rival and anyone else in the house at the time, Silhouette was made to dispatch of a man and his wife and child. He did so, but as it turned out, said child was not normal by any means. Having rid the surrounding area its magical protector, things became rather grim when almost immediately, a monsters began to terrorize the place. Were it not for the timely arrival of a displeased patron, Sil may have been among the many who could have died.

As it later turned out, the girl she had replaced was indebted to the Ebon Mint, and her death meant that her debt was transferred to Silhouette. With no knowledge of the magical world, Sil decided against angering the faction, and worked diligently to repay the debt he owed.

Since Veronica’s falling out and creation of the Crimson Cradle, Silhouette abandoned the Mint and has burned that bridge.

Incantation: "I am a blade. A blade knows no fear. A blade knows no doubt. When faced with my enemy, I hesitate not. Magical Girl Transformation!"

Additional Info:

Shade

Casual

Costume

Shade is a quirky, outgoing idol who acts almost nothing like Silhouette. She utilizes the 'fist' weapon Silhouette did when she donned this disguise during the incident in the Overcity, but prefers to avoid fights wherever possible and would much rather befriend people.

Emily

Name: Emily Ackerson, Lucifer, An actual cinnamon roll

Theme

Age (Magical Girl): 15

Age (Before Magical Girl): 15

Gender: Female

Gender (Before Magical Girl): Female

Default

Transformed

Specialization:

Fire - Despite her mostly timid and gentle nature, Emily’s specialization gives her enemies no quarter. Though her abilities with the power are nothing to scoff at, the most unique trait about her flames are brilliant, turquoise color they take.

Heat Drain/Vision - Particularly gifted as a Fire-user, Emily can sap flames or heat from the surrounding area, converting it to mana for her own use, so she benefits highly in areas she can set ablaze, hot climates, or against foes that provide her with heat in some way. In addition, she is especially sensitive to temperatures, and is able to see heat signatures.

Weapon:

Purgatory - Gauntlets with a demonic appearance. They glow a bright blue and act as a focus for her magics just as good or perhaps even better than any rod or staff could. They also allow her to strike foes that enter melee range, or to defend her from blows.

Power:

Barrage - Excelling at dealing damage in an AOE, Emily can quickly dish out many smaller blasts and fireballs at enemies. And, should she desire, she can turn up the heat by causing her attacks to detonate shortly after being thrown. This makes her especially deadly to clustered monsters.

Daystar - Emily drains the surrounding area of all heat, and begins dumping her mana into Purgatory. As the charge increases, the focused area in her gauntlets begin to glow brighter and brighter, until it approaches the peak of the charge, at which point the glare is no less intense than the sun. Finally, she fires an overwhelming blast of concentrated heat from her hands, likely disintegrating anything it comes into contact with, as well as scorching things in the immediate area of it.

Power of Friendship - Bestowed upon her by Ruby. Emily can sense when people are sad, how to form a positive relationship with people, and is generally on any given person's good side.

Perks:

Gifted - Able to use Heat Drain/Vision, which is elaborated on above.

Dual Weapon - Her weapon, Purgatory, is not only a fist weapon, but also acts as a focus for her magic.

Purification Artifact - A small, hand-made doll that, while cute in design, can keep ward against monsters when charged by the cleansing property of Fire.

Blood Magic - By dedication and will alone, Emily is able to continue using magic without mana, but at a serious cost to her physical health.

Overcity Shift - Sensitive to the presence of the Overcity, Emily has learned how to willingly enter and exit the place. Which has proved helpful in lowering collateral damage on occasion.

Get Out of Jail - While Emily is no coward, she is not a fool either. In bleak situations where victory is impossible, she has a contingency, though it’s not exactly perfect.

Enhanced Weapon - Strong enough to deflect blows for her, and an incredibly good conductor for her magical powers, Purgatory has proven a perfect weapon for her.

Mana Channel (Ruby Coin) - With intimate knowledge of the magic that courses through her, Emily can use it to assist allies, among other uses.

Absolute Direction Locket - A locket formed by the wish Ruby granted. When opened, it acts as a compass that points in the direction of the item Emily wants to find.

Job Satisfaction - Slaying monsters protects people, which gives her a feeling of fulfillment.

Mystic Might - Despite their terrible relationship, Jonald is still obligated to provide Emily with mana.

Mana Font - Read above.

Patron Drawbacks:

Hostile - Jonald is not a friend of Emily's. Misinformation and rumor spreading are the norm with him.

Expendable - Emily is not Jonald’s favorite person, one might gather.

Vendetta - The very reason Jonald has become so petty and malicious is because he believes the Ebon Mint had a hand in his former girl’s demise. Naturally, he loathes the organization.

Fighting Style: Though a relatively simple approach, overwhelming foes with constant barrages of flames tends to have favorable results. Emily has become fairly precise in her application of flames due to a desire to avoid collateral damage where possible, despite Fire potentially being the worst in that regard. Thus, she is most often see specifically throwing fireballs and shorter-ranged spews of flames. But in the event that she needn’t worry about hitting other people or things, she’s liable to go all out. Thus, in general, Emily’s biggest weakness would be hostages of some sort, as she’s not the kind of person who ignores the life of an innocent.

Personality: A strong-willed, kind magical girl who dreams of a world without pain and suffering. Emily is characterized by her selflessness, strong sense of justice, and adorable mannerisms when interacting with other magical girls, whom she considers sisters. Emily treasures any moment she gets to spend time with one of her sisters and loathes the idea of being made to fight against one. She is also willing to lend people in need a helping hand and often does volunteer work to assist those less fortunate.

Emily becomes a lot more aggressive, confident, and condescending towards people she faces in battle when she believes them to be ‘evil’, monsters especially so. It is almost as though a switch is flipped at how sudden it can be, though she retains her sense of justice and reluctance to fight other magical girls. She also keeps a warmer attitude towards friends.

History: Even though she had lost her biological parents at an early age, Emily has always been the kind and caring girl with a strong sense of justice she is now. She was lucky enough to be adopted by a kind family and was ever thankful for the parents who gave her a new home and her sister who accepted her into her life and allowed her to live in bliss. But each time she saw news of some tragedy occurring, she wished she could do something about it. Needless to say, when she was approached by a Puchuu while she was walking through the park, she couldn’t help but accept the offer. She felt guilty for essentially abandoning them, and decided to keep watch over them even if she couldn't be with them anymore.

When she was still relatively new to being a magical girl, her Puchuu asked her to help another magical girl who had bitten off more than she could chew. He seemed especially worried about the girl. Emily, of course, obliged and despite the difficulty they faced, the two of them managed to succeed and come out alive. After that point, Emily and the other girl became fast friends.

Over the course of her relatively normal magical girl life, Emily learned a great deal about her partner. That she wasn’t actually Jonald’s magical girl anymore and only saw him because he seemed to truly care about her, that she was indebted to the Ebon Mint for some reason, and that she’d been trying to find someone. To continue working tirelessly to protect people even despite some of the stuff she had to deal with… inspired Emily to try even harder, so she did. She put her all into fighting monsters and saving people with her partner.

But one night, everything changed. Emily noticed a commotion coming from her own neighborhood and went to investigate. She feared for her family’s safety, so that was the first place she visited. When she arrived at her house, she noticed the silhouette of a magical girl exiting the scene, but was much too concerned with her family to pursue them.

When she finally reached them, she found that she was too late. Her entire family had been lost… she had failed to save them. But even though she would later learn a monster was on the prowl, the fatal wounds her family received were certainly not caused by it. It was suspicious, to say the least. And even more so was the fact that Jonald almost seemed inconsolable. Strangely, Emily and Jonald did not actually understand the exact reason why the other was mourning for a couple of days, but when they finally did…

Emily told Jonald she was crying for her family.

And…

Jonald told Emily he mourned for his former magical girl.

Maybe it was just terrible luck? The truth that came to light was that Emily’s partner, the one she’d saved early on in her career, was none other than the sister she’d abandoned. But none of this information had ever even been intentionally hidden from her. Jonald recruited her away from home, Emily had never personally seen where her partner had lived. And of course, Emily was the person her partner was looking for. With how tight-lipped she’d been about WHO it was she was looking for, nobody was ever able to put the pieces together.

Following this tragedy, Jonald was constantly stuck looking into the situation, but they’d decided to move from Penrose for the time being. Still, he eventually found out that the girl Emily saw leaving was a Mint girl, and so he vowed to make them pay. The assumption was that they’d personally had her eliminated, presumably for debt-related reasons. For Jonald this was enough, but Emily couldn’t understand that. From what she had heard, the Mint wasn’t some bloodthirsty organization, but one that sought profits and information. Her partner never seemed like a person they’d consider dead weight, and even then, rumors suggested the Mint preferred to be a bit more subtle about those things.

Emily and Jonald had a serious falling out then. She wouldn’t be a part of this misguided attempt at vengeance, it’s not what her sister would have wanted, anyways. But Jonald, thinking it appalling that his friend’s very own sister would act that way, came to treat her like garbage, and spread many rumors about her. Theirs became a rather shaky relationship only held together by the fact that it did not seem like the Puchuu’s crusade was in the interest of the others, so he was still obligated to provide her with the bare-minimum assistance.

Thus it was until Emily finally decided to return to Penrose some years later, as stranger and stranger things continued to happen there.

Incantation: "I am the Star of Morning, the Child of Dawn. The Star thrown down to the Earth shall obtain victory!"

Additional Info: Emily was a bit of a chuuni in her human life. She also call her Puchuu Jonald out of spite, so it’s something she came up with.

Hilaria

Name: Hilaria



Theme

Age (Magical Girl): 17

Age (Before Magical Girl): ???

Gender: Female

Gender (Before Magical Girl): Unknown

Default

Her hair is extremely long in her human form and in contrast to her rather conservative appearance in her transformed state, she wears comparatively little clothing when she can, whether or not it is in good condition or not. Since she is rather prone to doing reckless things even in her human form, she is often covered with bandages and forgets to take them off even if the wound has healed.

Transformed

While the strange dress-like armor and the ribbons don't exactly inspire fear from first glance, the juxtaposition from the bloodstains and the disturbingly bright yet twisted expressions she makes might. Aside from her armor, the most notable change from her human form is the shortening of her hair and the tips of each strand that almost seemed to be dyed red from blood.

Monster Metamorphosis

As she succumbs to true madness, her armor almost seems to be corrupted along with her, emanating an ominous purple haze and turning a similar color. Also, it twists to accommodate her new features -- it gains a helmet with openings for the horns she sprouts, as well as spiked gauntlets for her claws. Though it is often quickly hidden, beneath the armor she grows fangs. During this time, her eyes glow an unsettling golden color which can be seen through the visor.

Specialization:

Gravity - As she is not as magically-inclined as other girls, she avoids going overboard with her use of Gravity. That said, she is as experienced as one can be in the specialization, able to use it in any manner a typical user could. She does not commonly use it to directly attack, preferring to use it as a supplement instead. Things such as reducing her weight so she can move faster, increasing an opponent's weight so they're slower, or even increasing the weight of an attack so it hits harder are all things she can be seen doing.

Weapon:

Mars - What appears to simply be a scutum. Naturally, it excels at blocking attacks. Though Hilaria wields it with apparent ease, it is rather heavy and thus can be used for blunt shield attacks. If she so desires, the shield can morph around her hands and become huge gauntlets that allow her to pummel enemies. As with her armor, it seems to be bloodstained.

Vulcan (G) - An odd weapon taking the form of a Spas-12 with what seems to be the head of an axe attached to the underside. Thus is can be used both chop foes to bits or to blast them away at a moderate range. Still, the weapon is most effective in any scenario when it is in close range.

Power:

Third Eye - Hilaria's special eyes allow her to detect magic, among other unnatural things. This allows her to properly identify and respond to spells being used by enemies, or to find Overcity entrances.

Regeneration (Dark Magical Girl) - Healing at a degree not possible by every magical girl, and a side effect of her corruption. What damage she takes is soon healed by her power, and even injuries like missing limbs are only temporary. Fueled by her corruption, she is essentially stitched back together via small black tendrils that extend from the wounds, pulling the wounds closed. Recovering from serious wounds is often accompanied by the unnerving sound of bones snapping back into place and the spurting of blood.

Perks:

Dual Weapon - Hilaria's shotgun, Vulcan, is also part axe. Her shield, Mars, can turn into a fist weapon.

Enhanced Outfit - Her armor provides excellent protection against most attacks.

Big Damn Hero - Hilaria can manage to arrive at the last moment to protect a person or a location, provided she has gifted them with a special curiosity in the form of a gold shotgun shell she has personally made.

Interdimensional Home - A small studio in a pocket dimension Hilaria has access to. She has decorated the walls with a few weapons from different ages, such as swords, shields, muskets, and assault rifles she has put into cases. It resembles a mini barracks more than anything.

Sturdy (Ruby Coin) - Hilaria is made from tougher stuff than your average magical girl. Able to take a beating and keep on going, and death will not find her without a fight.

Monstrous Metamorphosis (Contract) - Provided there's enough emotional stimulus, Hilaria may enter a berserk state where she becomes more powerful at the cost of rational thought.

Patron, Benefits, and Drawbacks:

Dan:

Interdimensional Archipelago - With contract with Dan, Hilaria has access to the beach dimension whenever she pleases. With ten seconds of concentration, she can open a portal of varying size to it.

Keijo Training - Knowledge of the ancient art of Keijo has helped Hilaria grow stronger at close-combat and, through breathing exercises, has increased her mana expenditure by a bit.

Physical Prowess - She is one tough magical girl.

Supplier - Hilaria isn’t sure where all of this stuff comes from, to be honest.

Retrieval - Dan doesn’t seem like the sort to abandon an ally in need.

Lonely - Dan isn’t too fond of being ignored, and is liable to resort to petty curses if he is neglected for too long.

Joy Eater - As Dan feeds on positive emotions, he grows weaker without them, at a potential cost towards Hilaria the longer he is deprived.

Big Brother - Due to requiring positive emotions, it’s understandable that he’d be more involved in the private life of his magical girls. But some might say it’s a bit too much.

Clueless - Hilaria has to admit that Dan is not the most intelligent Patron she’s worked with, and doesn’t expect too much from him.

Fighting Style: Brutal and unpredictable are the two best words to describe how she fights. She is a physical attacker with both high defense and high attack, and is suited best for close-range combat. She has a couple different ways she can approach any given situation.

Typically, her first instinct is to use her scutum and shotgun-axe in unison. Vicious strikes from her axe, unpredictable blasts from the shotgun it is attached to, and an incredibly strong defense from her shield make head-on assaults a scary idea to most. Though certainly not lacking in offense, this approach is considered a very defensive one, and though she is able to provide quick, agile blows, she is rather slow to pursue or move long distances.

Her other method of fighting would be to transform her scutum, Mars, into a fist weapon, often also forgoing Vulcan, though not always. With this method, she pursues her foes with reckless abandon, putting her all into offense. She’ll throw relentless punches, grapple, and smash with gravity-empowered attacks that can leave craters in the ground. She is also more prone to allowing herself to be hit by an attack if it’ll give her a chance to return the favor, and has on more than one occasion lost limbs because of this.

She would fit the role of a tank or bruiser rather well, if one were to label her. With, perhaps, a side of berserker.

Personality: The first impression Hilaria gives is that she is a rather ditzy, vivacious, but well-meaning magical girl who is always willing to offer a hand to those in need. Her approach to any given situation is often blithe, even pressing matters. She is the sort of person who can talk about anything with a smile on her face, even if the subject itself is considered gruesome or taboo. About the only thing she does take seriously is matters pertaining to food. She is most definitely a glutton, and food would be her top priority 9 times out of 10.

Hilaria has an odd way of speaking, which is one of the first things people will pick up on when interacting with her. Much like herself, her words often have no real sense of urgency and are drawn out, subject to strange modulation wherein she tends to drag out and strengthen her tone at the end of a sentence in particular. But more notable than that is that she always refers to herself in the third person barring special circumstances. The dropping of this particular quirk is often the easiest way to gauge her mood.

Additionally, she is quite the arrogant person. She has no problem dismissing the ideas and opinions of others on the grounds that they are simply 'ignorant' of how things are. In her own opinion, all the other girls are inexperienced and thusly could not know the truth of the world, and how futile certain aspects of it are. Yes, they don't comprehend how utterly pointless fighting each other instead of monsters is, or that attachments will only ever end in pain. But as she has tried and failed to explain on many occasions before, she understands that the other girls would rather learn from experience than to take it from her. She speaks these things as fact, but does not try to force others to accept it.

Her behavior is naturally influenced by these 'truths'. So long as it isn't a mindless monster, Hilaria has no real qualms about assisting any faction. They are all equal in her eyes. She will not directly help in homicide as one of her conditions, but will aid in things that aren't exactly becoming of a typical magical girl. Likewise, due to her understanding that attachments always end poorly, she forms only the most basic of relationships with others. Even if her expression and actions say otherwise, she doesn't particularly care about anyone at all.

Age has certainly corrupted the girl more than any overload of magical energy ever could.

History: A lot of details elude her about her past, but she does recall that at some point she’d been human and a puuchu had approached her. It offered her the ability to become a hero who could save those in need, and at the time this was exactly what she desired. She spent a while playing hero until eventually she had a falling out with her patron, who had betrayed her trust. Sometime after this, she became a member of Beacon and developed a deep bond with her allies there. Yet, after an incident in which she tried to sacrifice herself to save the others, she became a corrupted magical girl, and they didn’t seem to hesitate to ostracize her. Finally, her original goal had been to save humanity from their greatest threats, but the futility of this endeavor had eluded her until she witnessed countless wars and came to the conclusion that the biggest threats to humans were none other than humans themselves.

These events all happening in the span of a few decades, Hilaria found it more and more difficult to remain the blindly optimistic girl she had been, but she continued to try. She would go on to form numerous relationships with people and patrons. Some lovers, too. But no matter what she did, she’d lose the ones she cared for most and would find something unsatisfactory about her employers, all the while humans would continue their wars and people would die meaningless deaths. Hilaria soon found it difficult to motivate herself to help others, and from there apathy set in. Everything seemed so pointless, so futile. And it still does. But what else could she do? Even if it was hard, she may as well help someone.

Incantation: "Nullum magnum ingenium sine mixture dementia fuit.”

Additional Info: Her exact age is unknown, but going off of the armor she recalls seeing humans wear shortly after she was contracted, she was likely born at the beginning or just before the First Crusade. That said, she seems to have some fascination with Rome and the Greek Gods, going off her naming scheme.

Though normally her age would suggest she should own power unrivaled by other magical girls, she never remained loyal to any single patron long enough to gather that sort of power. What coins she did obtain, she frivolously spent on changing aspects about her -- her initial form was much different than the one she has nowadays.

I don't have the energy to apply the coins from the end of the season tonight so these are technically WIPs. I will obviously let you know when that happens.

Alexander Shields

Age (Magical Girl): 13 (used silver) Average +1 Vit

Age (Before Magical Girl): 20

Gender: Male

Gender (Before Magical Girl): Male

Appearance:

Transformed

Only gold instead of black

Beast Mode

Only gold instead of red

Primal Mode

Only gold instead of white

Un-transformed

Outfit Type: Elaborate +1 Mag

Specialization: Reinforcement/Beast.

As a Reinforcement specialist, Alexander's power lie in shield and healing...much to his dismay. From placing shields of any shape in fixed locations, to placing personal force-fields on others. Alexander can also bolster the power of allies (although doing this requires concentrated focus). While his healing isn't fast, it is potent; given enough time, Alexander can heal anything short of death itself.

With a Beast specialization, Alexander can further strengthen his body with beastly might. However, this causes his helmet to vanish, and for him to grow two fuzzy ears and a tail. He also has a pet bunny, weasel and owl

Weapons:

Mystic (chose with silver); Rod. Pretty much just a foci for his magic. It's lackluster at physical attacks, much to Alexander's dismay.
Runic Enchantments:
- Spell Booster.

Melee (bought from store); Sword. A large and heavy magic sword he bought from a store. It's really great at physical attacks, much to Alexander's delight.
Runic Enhantments:
- Swing Speed Booster.

Power: Duplication, Tentacles.

Perks:

Enhanced Sustenance +1 Vit (swapped from Healing Artifact with silver)
Awareness +1 Luk
Masculinity +1 Luk
Fated +1 Luk
Sorcery (Rune magic) +1 Mag
Gifted (Red Coin) +1 Mag, +1 Vit: Primal Mode
Inspired by Lily's Berserker form, and with his power over Reinforcement and Beast magic, Alexander has developed a spell derived from both Specializations that acts as a physical booster. Unlike Monstrous Metamorphose, this super form doesn't come at the cost of sanity. This is different from a normal Beast specialization transformation, as it draws from the target's magic, while also attuning them the closer to their specialization, making them pseudo-elementals. For a Reinforcement/Beast user like Alexander, this is mostly a raw physical booster.
Absolute Direction +1 Luk

Patron: Sol Invictus

Patron Benefits:

Paragon: "No follower of mine can be scrawny!"

Blessing: The blessings of Sol Invictus invoke protection against evil and/or martial might.

Clergy: If Alexander is going to work for him, then Sol Invictus is going to make sure he knows how to do it.

Mana Fount: When Sol Invictus does something, he does it with gusto!

Gifted Item: Disguise Artifact +1 Vit.

Patron Drawbacks:

Arrogance: "Limits...what are those? I'm sure you can handle that endless horde with ease!"

Unknown: He used to be well known many eons ago...but not anymore.

Loud: "What's volume control!?"

Big Brother: To him, it's less 'spying' and more 'getting involved in the life of his follower'

Fighting Style: Alexander's skillset makes him bet suited to the rear. Putting up shields, buffing allies, and healing when need be. Although he really wants to be on the front line. Though Righteous Fury, Alexander has broken through the limits on his magic. While he still heals, shields, and buffs, he can now do so from the front lines.

Personality: Growing up as an orphan has made him used to being own his own. Because of this, Alexander is a grumpy guy, with a bit of an aggressive streak in him. He's quite vocal about his desire to bash the forces of darkness with something heavy, as opposed to playing support. He's not used to having people care for him, or caring for others. That being said, there still lies a guardian spirit inside of him. So may whatever being you worship have mercy on you if you manage to badly hurt someone he comes to care for...because he won't.

History: Alexander never knew his parents. His earliest memories were of the orphanage where he grew up. Because it was overcrowded, the staff were stretched thin, so he had to learn to fend for himself. Alexander never got adopted, and had to get a minimum wage job when he was too old to stay in the orphanage anymore. One night, when he was walking back home from work, he was attacked by magical creatures. Just as he was about to die, Sol Invictus found him and lent him the power to defend himself. Since his attackers weren't expecting Alexander to be able to fight at all, they were quickly dispatched. Sol Invictus than explained to him that he attacked because he was the last decedent of his followers from the days when he was active, and that his parents were most likely killed for the same reason. He than offered to make the powers he lent him permanent if Alexander became his follower. Consider the state his life was already in, Alexander agreed, having nothing to lose.

Being a Magical Boy with no direct offensive powers pissed Alexander off a lot. Being unable to fight on his own, he was forced to partner up with a Magical Girl named Lily. Strangely enough, he wasn't actually bothered by her peppy attitude, and found her not painful to be around. Since she was homeless, he opened up his home (which he had acquired thanks to his Disguise Trinket).

When Lily was kidnapped to be sacrificed in a ritual, Alexander became so enraged, that he managed to break his own magic into becoming capable of 1 on 1 combat, and used that new power to battle a Time Magical Girl. He then assaulted the castle of Justine von Visceral alongside a large group of Magical Girls, never fully understanding why he was risking his life for her. After a heated siege, Lily was saved, and she and Alexander rode off into the sunset on her lightning bike down a road of sparkling magic.

Not long after that, Alexander ended up adopting a few animals, and some new crazy thing attacked Penrose. Right after that however, he and a bunch of other people found themselves on a tropical resort for a vacation. After some shenanigans, they found out that the lesser spirit running the place had hijacked it from the wish twins, who had made it from Lily's wish. However, he folded when confronted pretty easily, and they were able to return home. Also, Alexander is now dating Lily.

However, when they returned home, they found it semi-wrecked. As it turned out, time passed slower inside the resort, so what had been a few days to them were a few months to the outside world, and in that time, things had deteriorated. Things were made tense by a squad of Beacon inquisitors that had been dispatched to Penrose. Tensions rose to the point of a civil war between the magical girls/boys of Penrose. Split between two factions, Justine's and Mariette's. Alexander and Lily accidently joined Mariette's, as they arrived at her castle to talk to her right before it came under attack. The battle came to an end when Lily, in an attempt to help Mariette, abducted her, and took her through a portal to Dan's resort. Some time after that, Mariette's mind was freed from the influence of her patron. After that, tensions cooled down significantly with a Christmas party held in a pocket dimension. While there, Alexander came across a depressed Justine, and attempted to fix that by exposing her to raw unfiltered Lily, a plan which by all accounts worked. However, during the party, an inquisitor named Rachel attempted to take the item maintaining the dimension; a Horror artifact called the Black Mirror. But things got incredibly silly when it turned into a Keijo tournament for said artifact, one that came to a stop when it ended up stolen by an unknow party.

And thus, Alexander's adventures in the bizarre yet beautiful world of social interaction continue...

Sol Invictus

Type: Deity

Name: Sol Invictus, The Cleansing Sun, He who shall smite the darkness with his righteous light.

Personality: Sol Invictus is a very boisterous god. He enjoys good food, good drink, good company and watching the forces of darkness flee in terror! His driving force is being a hero...yeah, he's that kind of guy. He's surprisingly easy going for a god; laughing off his sole follower's complainants. That being said, should his wrath be kindled, he will not hesitate to bring down his light. He is surprisingly friendly for a god; more than willing to have a simple conversation with his followers, or even other gods, and he's always looking for new friends. He is very much like his namesake; warm and inviting, yet harsh relentless to those who cross him.

History: A god from the days when latin wasn't a dead language. He once had many followers, but in a battle with otherworldly Horrors, he was weakened and fell into a deep sleep. When he awoke, he quickly found the sole descendant of his followers; Alexander

Resources: Right now, Alexander is his only follower. However, he still has his wealth, so he can afford to pay him just fine

Additional Info: This is what happens when I take Kamina and Flay Gunnar, shove them both into a blender, add a pinch of "I'm halping!", and pour the result into a paladin god mold.

Connected - You know the drill. Magicoms, red halo, I don't need to say it twice.

Physical Prowess - Gotta balance these stats somehow.

Encore - Finn's been around for a long, long while, ever since Maura kept him from dying. With the current situation in Penrose, he's been called back to help get things back in order.

Patron Drawbacks:
Exposed - Your thoughts aren't safe anymore.

Mercy - Maura. Stop being a mother hen for five minutes. Please.

Solo Performance - He refuses to explain further, but since growing a distain for betrayals and tragedies, Finn prefers to be alone for the most part. Not that he'd complain if anyone approached him, but he won't bother people unless it's needed.

Fighting Style:
Finn tends to take his time durning combat. He likes to make the most of his abilities, from taking some hits with his Regeneration, to borrowing aspects of animals with his Beast spec. Oddly enough, he rarely uses his animals themselves. Save a flock of ravens or crows.

He and Oliver tend to work on par with each other, bouncing strategies off each other to eliminate their target easily, or overwhelm them. Finn acts as offense, Oliver acts as support. If paired up with other teammates; separately or otherwise, they both switch to a more supportive role until the situation calls for them to intervene.

Stats (Transformed):
STR: 11
AGI: 12

LCK: 11

Personality:
At first glance, Finn can come off as intimidating. A clean suit, stoic expression paired with sharp eyes belonging to nothing short of a professional. He's often blunt, but willing to hear others out. Stubborn, with a low tolerance for mindless bullshit.

He's actually a pretty chill person, usually outside of work. Due to how long he's been around, Finn acts as an older brother type of friend around those he knows. His Power of Friendship ability does help with this, and he always looks for a compromise. He's also quite a curious person with a thirst for knowledge, especially when it comes to the magical world. If a topic comes up around Finn that catches his interest, you can expect him to be all ears for a while.

He's also an easily excitable dork, but he wouldn't admit it outright.

History:
A researcher and investigator in his past life, Finn always had a sixth sense for the paranormal and such. He was always aware of the existance of magic, and those who possess it. However, he got too ambitious dealing with things he shouldn't have. And in the end, it costed him his life.

Almost costed him his life.

See, Death had taken notice of him. For some reason she; who he'd soon know as Maura, felt a strange remorse for him. Neither of them knew why, but Maura felt that he didn't deserve that kind of fate. So she used some of her magic to make him into a magical boy.

About a month passed as he got used to his newfound powers, when he ran into Maura again. But something seemed off. The poor woman appeared shaken by something. Once she explained what happened between her and her coven over his circumstance, Finn suggested to her about becoming a patron from what he had gathered about being a magical boy, get more manpower if her sisters decided to retaliate. Though he also told her to choose carefully, as some people could take advantage of such power, and Maura herself to some extent.

It took awhile, but they did convince several people to become magical girls (and boys, of course). Maura even revived a ghost into a monster boy so they'd have an advantage against a monster attack. This would be Finn's old friend and current partner-in-crime, Oliver.

Over all, life carried on as they worked. Conflicts arose; both magical and mundane, changes big and small occured, and relations were made. Though for the far latter, some relations were...not so good. As disorienting as it all was, Finn grew used to it, eventually not bothering with other people asides his teammates. Asides from Oliver, or Maura.

Incantation:
"Memento Mori."

Additional Info:
- No one really knows how long Finn's been a magical boy, but assuming the remaining Witches have been around for centuries, it's estimated to be around the Victorian Era.
- He used to give some of his earned coins to newer recruits under Maura, to give them some support.
- 5 Silver, 2 Bronze spent on Ouju-Sama
- Gained the Snowbun Perk from winning the Wacky Downhill Race

Oliver Kyle

Name:
Oliver Kyle

Age (Magical Boy):
15

Age (Before Magical Boy):
He's been dead for a long time.

Gender:
Male

Gender (Before Magical Boy):
Male

Appearance:

Disguised

Christmas

Specialization:
Oddball: Chemicals, Spirit

Weapon:
Ranged/Melee: Rememdium
Oliver's rifle. He's made it to where it was chemical-proof, just in case. Looks a bit old.

Power:
Duplication:
Can't be a true haunting with only one ghost!

Perks:
Dual Weapon:
Oliver's rifle has a bayonet knife attached to it. Nothing that eye-catching.

Ally:
As much as I tried to avoid this perk, looks like Finn and Oliver are stuck with each other.

Big Backpack:
Oliver carries a satchel, with all the necessities of a usual big backpack. He also uses it to store chemistry books, for his magic.

Masculinity:
Him? A girl?? Over his dead body!

Blood Magic:
Somehow he can use some of his own vitality to cast spells. Overdoing it won't end well, makes him nauseous.

Enhanced Sustenance:
Does he even need to sleep? Well regardless, he's able to persist without eating much or breathing. The latter's a bit weird, concidering his circumstances.

Awareness:
Oliver's harder to sneak up on. Better know what you're doing before you try attacking him.

True Sight:
Any environmental blinders that affect normal magicals don't work on him and his enhanced sight.

Phylactery:
No one else knows, but he stays by Finn for a reason. If he dies, Oliver goes down with him. They can be separate from each other, so long as they reunite once a year. Maybe it's that mental mutation keeping him from straying too far...

Possession:
One of the hallmarks of ghosts. With a bit of willpower, Oliver can take control of another person's body, even if it's for a minute. If the person he's possessing dies, he's supposed to die too. But with the intervention of a phylactery, who knows?

Intangibility:
Another of the hallmarks of ghosts. Oliver can phase through objects to travel or avoid attacks. Not too much though, it gets disorientating otherwise.

Sixth Sense:
Just cause he's more alive than before, doesn't mean he can't mess with other souls stuck here! With some concentration, he can touch the other spirits, and those astral projecting. And maybe allow them to poke back. Just don't get too touchy.

Patron:
Maura Natalie (Crimson Cradle)

Patron Benefits:
Cradle Supply - Well, Oliver doesn't have an artifact so...
_{Lil' Slugger (Melee/Mystic) - A strange monochrome baseball bat, salvaged from an abandoned universe equally strange. It's most effective against corrupt enemies, and can even hit hard against the unliving. However over time, it'll start to attract more vicious monsters.}

Connected - Cause normal telepathy's too easy.

??? - ????

Magical Overload - It took alot to bring him back from the dead. A whole lot.

Patron Drawbacks:
Exposed - Maura doesn't really like proding her agents for information, but that doesn't mean your thoughts are safe.

Mercy - Genocide is overrated.

??? - ????

Monstrous Form - Something might have gone wrong with his revival. Oliver became a revenant.

Fighting Style:
Oliver's approach to battle is a bit more complex. With his Spirit specialization and Duplication power, he's able to provide alot of back-up for his teammates. Though complicated, his chemical specialization can be used to hinder the target, if not set them on fire. (A usual strategy Oliver uses, that he's aware of.) It's hard to sneak up on him. It's even harder to blind his vision.

And of course, he can always possess them. But is it worth the risk?

Finn and him tend to work on par with each other, bouncing strategies off each other to eliminate their target easily, or overwhelm them. Finn acts as offense, while Oliver acts as support. If paired up with other teammates; separately or otherwise, they both switch to a more supportive role until the situation calls for them to intervene.

VIT: 5
MAG: 3
LCK: 4

Stats (Undisguised):
STR: 10
AGI: 10
VIT: 12
MAG: 12
LCK: 12

Personality:
If Finn's the left brain, Oliver is the right. He's more upbeat and laidback than his partner, and alot more mischevious. He can be smug at times, whether it's taunting his enemies or teasing his friends, but he's usually the one to break up any fights between the latter. Oliver can get bored pretty easily, and he's willing to improvise; Much to his dismay of getting an Oddball specialization.

Though as much of a little shit as he is, Oliver does know when it isn't the time to joke around. As his Mental Mutation suggests, he's especially protective of his friends, putting them first before him. He does try not to get too protective of them. It'd turn weird.

History:
A some point in Maura's past history as a patron, the town they resided in at the time was attacked. Apparently a Monster King had been driven over the edge, and was admant on killing everyone and everything in sight. Of course Maura's chosen few were among those who decided to fend him off, but he and his cronies proved to be quite the challenge. They had to get back-up.

Maura managed to get a couple of people contracted, but most went to other patrons before she could do anything. Then her first recruit, Finn Vanhorn, had an idea.

He had an old friend, one Oliver Kyle, who worked with him until his sudden death few years back. (well, few years at that time.) Something Finn wanted to know is "Can a patron forge a contract with the dead?" He and Maura went to Oliver's final resting place to test that theory.

They did manage to revive Oliver, but not only did it take alot out of Maura, but he became a monster boy. Not to mention he was still a ghost in a way. But in the end, the Monster King was put down. Maura had to be out of commission for awhile after to regain her strength.

What they didn't realize at the time was that to keep Oliver grounded to reality, Finn was made into his Phylactery. Once they caught onto it they made sure not to let anyone else know, and the two decided to stick together, just as they did once in the past.

Life went on. And in the now, it seems things have changed again. In response to the trouble brewing in Penrose, the duo were called in to help keep things in check. And definetly not to help Maura get used to running an official organization.

Monstrous Mutations:
Noncorporeal:
Well, he is undead.

Sentinel:
They've been hurt too much. Why can those jackasses leave scot-free while those he cares about are left scarred and broken? Why should he stand by and do nothing about it while they keep getting hurt? No. He cares too much to let this slide. He'll keep his friends safe.

Broken Incarnation:
Of course, there had to be a drawback to his circumstance. If he ends up dead (double dead??), his reincarnation's a bit...wonky. It may take awhile to get him back completely.

Second Specialization:
Boo.

Additional Info:
- Nothing else to note.

Maura Natalie

Type:
Crimson Cradle

Name:
Throughout centuries, Maura Natalie had taken up many titles. The Mistress of the Styx, the Ferryman of Hades, and the Fourth Horseman to name a few.

Personality:
Formal and noble, Maura can be compared to a knight in personality, despite her history as a witch. Although she can get intimidating at times, she doesn't harm others easily, only when a situation calls for it. She tends to keep an eye on her magical girls when possible, and she keeps a clear head when in combat. Though she does have her moments of naivety.

History:
Maura's past is vague, only those she knows well enough would know about it. She was once a part of a coven, charged with preserving the balance of the world. As the witch of Death, Maura was to guide the deceased to the afterlife when their time was up. No more, no less. However, one day she had took notice of a peculiar soul. For some reason, she took pity to them. They didn't deserved to die, she thought. She couldn't let that happen.

Unfortunately, this didn't sit well with her sisters. She had broke her oath to the coven, she wasn't supposed to meddle with the cycle of Life and Death. Maura was forced to argue against them, but it escalated for the worst. Maura accidentally killed one of her own, the past witch of Dreams.

And in her shock, she fled. Maura had to outrun her sisters' attempts to capture or even kill her, and found herself laying low in Penrose. With current events going on, she offically made her base of operations in the now-desolate town, then found herself working with the Crimson Cradle.

What she didn't expect was being given the role of leader by Veronica herself. Even if Maura was nervous about it at first, or wondered why she chose her, maybe now she can make a change to Penrose.

Resources:
Since inheriting the Cradle, Maura's resources have expanded greatly. She's still getting used to her newfound importance, but she's trying her best. A notable difference is that her own coven sisters have offered to step up and help her, acting as second-in-command.

Additional Info:
- Maura seems to have more advanced magic that bears similarites to normal magical specializations, though no one truely knows the extent of her power.

- It's shown that her main three magic specializations are Darkness, Ice, and Spirit. But with Viridian's intervention, Psychic might end up on that list too.

- Out of the few witches that now reside in Penrose, the Witch of Life, Rowena, seems to be her only biological sister.

Anaya Hathaway

Name:
Anaya Hathaway

Age (Magical Girl):
14

Age (Before Magical Girl):
24

Gender:
Female

Gender (Before Magical Girl):
Female

Appearance:

Untransformed

Specialization:
Spirit and Sound

Weapon:
Ranged: Haunted Gambit
A pair of twin pistols. Said to be made from the souls of brothers, who tried to outsmart the Devil in his own tricks, but failed miserably.

Power:
Regeneration:
Regenerating mana faster, Anaya can survive any near-fatal injury, even ones that have her limbs chopped clean off. Although her neck is a considered weak point now.

Third Eye:
Being no longer corrupted, Anaya has lost the ability to find other magical girls' weaknesses. Luckily she still has the normal abilities that come with her third eye, from piercing through illusions to predicting spells attacks.

Perks:
Enhanced Sustenance:
Anaya doesn't need to sleep much, can suppress her hunger longer, and doesn't even need to breathe.

Disguise Artifact:
A small ring with a morganite cut into a teardrop shape, Anaya can use the ring to disguise herself as another person for a short time, down to the voice.

Soul Jar:
Adding more to her ironic theme of specters, Anaya's soul has been transferred to a small lantern-like soul jar, usually kept around her neck as a necklace.

Interdimentional Home:
Self explanatory, Anaya can warp to an apartment building in what seems to be another dimension. She can bring five other people to her apartment, if she wished.

Closure:
To forgive is to forget. Once Anaya became a magical girl, everything that proved her past self's existence was erased.

Mystic Artifact:
A mysterious antique music box. When Anaya winds it up, she can see what's happening in either the past, present, or future, but only once a week for some reason.

Fake Parents:
She finally has parents!

Patron:
Beacon

Patron Benefits:
Perfect Life:
A home, friends, and family even. Things Anaya never really had until now. Her friends and family are always protected by Beacon from monster attacks.

Shine Spark:
Once the spark was a weak shield to help resist alterations to mind and body, albeit with a bit of willpower. Now it grants complete immunity, as well as a way to counterattack.

Mana Font:
Anaya has more mana than the normal magical girl.

Patron Drawbacks:
Vow of Courage:
All who work under Beacon are to take a vow so they may preserve their humanity. For her determination to protect others at the cost of her own life, Anaya has taken the vow of courage.

Excomunication:
Even if she was once a dark magical girl herself, Anaya cannot cooperate with those she once worked with in darkness. And she cannot kill another beacon girl, or she will be deemed a traitor and to be killed on sight.

Fighting Style:
Not having a set style, Anaya relies on speed, distance, strategy, and adaption to fight.

Stats (Untransformed):
STR:3
AGI:4
VIT:6
MAG:5
LCK:4

Stats (Transformed):
STR:5
AGI:7
VIT:8
MAG:16
LCK:9

Personality:
Tending to speak as little as possible, Anaya is a soft-spoken introvert who gets to her points quick. Her cute demeanor is a guise, hiding her mischevous nature. Since being purified by a white coin, Anaya has been opening up to others more often, and has been able to focus more as the voices in her head were finally silenced.

History:
For as long as she can remember, Anaya had been in the hospital for most of her life, sickly and weak. One night, when she was 24, her patron, Avalon Browen, visted her in hopes of getting a new recruit. Apparently, her mother was a very powerful magical girl, before chosing her father over fighting monsters. Not wanting to stay in the hospital anymore due to cabin fever, she accepted, a coin being placed in her hand before she became a kid again.

The first two months were hard, as she had a rough time fighting monsters with what she had, even from her patrons. So she finally used her black coin, and got a second power. But only for a debt, and becoming a dark magical girl.

A quick visit to the local magic hotspot, Penrose, led to her and her temporary partner Eliza to revolt with a few others against a monster girl named Justine. But Anaya seemed to dissapear before the castle the battle took place in collapsed. For the most part, she just went back to work with her patrons. Yet a premonition from her music box proved that her time in Penrose wasn't over.

So when the call of death reached out to her, she answered, and returned to fight.

Just happens that her screw-up after the fight against the Endsinger had led her right into the hands of the Ascendancy. Anaya didn't understand why they would spare someone like her; A corrupted girl working under both Mint and Horror. But joining Beacon beats having to deal with an angry demon and demented coin broker. It was probably what her mother would have wanted, after all.

Magical Coins:
Platinum: 0, Ruby: 0, Sapphire: 1, Black: 0, Gold: 1, Silver: 8, Bronze: 6

Incantation:
"Kin of corruption, I shall make your purification swift."

Additional Info:
Nothing of note, for now

Penny Asimov 3.2

Name: Penny Asimov. The Builder. Queen of Pentose. Steel Titan.

Theme

Age (Magical Girl):16

Age (Before Magical Girl):Null

Gender: Female

Gender (Before Magical Girl): Null

Appearances

Sealed: Sealed Penny looks to be a rather well developed young woman. She stands at a respectable 5'9" and looks deceptively frail. She continues her trend of wearing baggy and concealing clothes however as her true nature has begun to spill out even when she is sealed up. Gold colored eyes stand out, and most of her joins resemble doll joints. In addition she lacks the correct anatomical features, to say nothing of all of her tattoos.

Online: Not hiding, nor flaunting it, simply Penny as she truly is. standing at 6'0" She a a mechanical powerhouse in a surprisingly cute frame. She is obviously robotic, but not enough to push her into the uncanny valley. Most of her joints are covered in additional layers of armored protection, but one can easily see the seams between her outer plates.

E.o.D.: An entity that is hard to believe exists. Falling straight into the uncanny valley, Penny becomes a mechanical entity that is hard to put to words. Ever growing and adapting, it start off looking vaguely like Penny, but can very swiftly grow into something completely unrecognizable.

Prime: An advance state, and a glimpse into who Penny might be if she was to be capable of growing older. Armed to the teeth, and with a figure to kill for, She stands head and shoulders above her peers. With who knows what hidden capabilities stored within her frame.

Tattos

Due to her augmentations her Sealed state has the following tattoos.

Face: Small gear design centered on her right eye, the tattoo extends onto her eyelid. Red bat wing behind her left ear with a pair of overlapping V's in the center of the wing.

Arms: Left hand has chains wrapped around the palm that circle up the arm to end at the elbow. Right arm has thorny bramble vines spreading from her forearm.

Legs: Computer circuitry styled into the shape of wings. Start from her ankles and run to the lower thighs.

Back: stylized spider silhouette in center of the back with only four legs, two reaching up to the shoulders two reaching down to hips. Two black dots three inches in diameter on either side of the spider. A single red eye positioned just above the Spiders head.

Other: Thurisaz rune on the side of her neck. Tribal chevron tattoo on the back of her neck. A jagged lightning bolt collar tattoo.

Specializations:
Metal & Lightning & Gravity, the hallmarks of future. These are the aspects that Penny's soul best reflect. Thus her body has been forged from what her soul resonates with; a body of steel, blood of lightning, and unyielding grace. Sadly her outward capability for magic is lacking, weak elemental attacks and a handful cantrips are the limits of her casting capabilities. Her real gifts with magic comes from the fact that she herself in made from her elements allowing for truly unique internal expressions of her magic. the standard expression such is her ability as well as the ability to absorb her elements for personal benefit. Rendering her practically immune to to the effects of Lightning and Metal.

Her ability with Gravity is more than the simple manipulation of the fundemntal force.

The insight to machines that comes with the instinct of Metal helps in day to day situations, she is always a bit quicker than expected due to the Lightning in her veins and has a gift for seeming weightlessness that comes from her connection to Gravity.

_[Gifted]

Augments

Due to Penny's unique physiology and altered magical aptitude she has the ability to augment and alter her body so long as she has the resources.

Head: Right eye has a zoom feature added to it, vision magnification resembling high quality binoculars. Teeth have been altered to be able to become razor sharp at will.

Torso: Upgraded plating, two utility ports are still available. Retractable Spider limbs: these limbs have a reach of nine feet and are tipped with a three pronged claw, while retracted they lie seamlessly with her torso.

Arms: Left arm has been fitted with a chain knuckle: Firing this system draws power from her gauss system and has a maximum length of 60 ft. Right hand has been altered to allow for a chain saw type attachment along her forearm as well as her inner hand.

Legs: Electromagnetic boosters: Mainly used for midair hovering and at best a double jump. Also increases land speed while moving in a straight line. Parts for this were salvaged from the Sky Bastion's flight engine.

Other: Increased over all height by 3 inches making her stand at 6 feet flat while transformed. Altered plating composition to allow for short controlled bursts of non magical electricity, requires a short cool down between uses. Small com-relay located somewhere within her upper torso, was given to her by Veronica and is capable of inter-dimensional communication.

Note: All of these augments have left visible changes on her sealed state as well resulting in various tattoos depending on what the augment was.

Weapons: Due to that changes that have been forced upon Penny her whole body has become a weapon.

Her Chassis is an Octiron and Etherium alloy with a unique Dilithium lattice weave that lends increased offensive potential to all of her natural attacks. The unique mix stymies external attempts at manipulation while the composition also lends toward her body holding on to positive enchantments placed on it for a much longer time. Additionally, the Electro-Graviton Core she has increases her efficiency, and capability, of transmitting magic through her body even further, resulting in a very potent ability to self enhance/augment with spells.

The Transformation Blade has also been changed by the Power of the Red coin. No longer a Simple blade it has been fused into Penny's systems, reawakening and improving upon an old skill of hers; The projection of energy fields. These field can take the form of additional shielding or augment her currently deployed weaponry but not both at the same time. in addition it has installed a pair of shoulder mounted ray casters capable of firing off accurate and deadly energy blasts.

Once again she has dubbed the use of this system as Assault mode, but no longer is it her only alternate mode, as the Transformation Blade still retains it's unique capability of shifting into different weapon systems. Granting Penny a deep reservoir of offensive and defensive potential.

• Due to her assimilation of Sirkkeli she has gained a auxiliary system to her weapons. Any blades formed on her arms now automatically connect to a in-built injection mechanism that leads to tiny vials stored in her elbows. These vials are slowly filled with special nanites created from specialized fabricators located in her shoulders; normally these nanites are capable of corroding metallic material into a gray metallic sludge and they spread rapidly over a short period of time, but with with effort Penny can temporarily reformat their intended effect.

These nanites require considerable mana to replenish, or alter, due to their unique origins.

.:Powers:.

1^st Regeneration: A fitting Power for Penny to have, as despite everything that has been thrown at her she just keeps on going. The fact that this power helps her recover that much faster from anything that does hit her helps elevate her to a truly dangerous threat.

2^nd Prime: A rare power hidden with the depths of the Red coin. For a short time Penny can channel who it is she will be, or could be, transforming herself into an theoretical adult version of herself. Harder, better, faster, stronger. It doesn't last a long time, and requires a long time to recharge between uses.

• Her original second power, Copy cat, was replaced due to the instability it was enforcing onto her systems.

.:Perks:.

Bile: A monstrous auxiliary system and proof that Penny is not human. It is an interwoven offensive system, fired from the mouth, which can either be used as either a shotgun blast of flechette, arching electricity intermingled with a concussive gravity shock-wave. Or as a long range gauss cannon round, infused with lightning and coated with chaotic gravitational fields, or even as a focused stream of high voltage lightning, condensed gravitational distortions and jagged metal shrapnel that can discharge contiguously for several seconds and redirect easily.

A thing to note is that this system is not a magical in nature, thus takes no mana to use. Its impact is also based on her Vitality rather than Magic. The down side is this attack takes time to recharge, thus cannot be used in rapid succession, and while the cool down can be shortened by limiting the number of elements that are fired off she will never be able to fire it back to back.

• Due to her assimilation of Sirkkeli she has gained a second, weaker, bile attack. It fires off a quick acting glue like substance, that can immobilize weaker targets. This ability has a much longer cool down due to it's unique origin.

Tooth and Claw: Humans fight in dozens of ways, many that they have perfected over centuries of conflict. But Penny isn't human, and fighting like one would only hold her back. The reforging she undertook fixed that issue, and now Penny fights like what she is, a monster and a machine.

She still has all of her old combat training, all the same understanding of how to break someone she just has an understanding how to add her monstrous limbs and capabilities to those situations. With just as much proficiency as her human ones, possibly even more, and just like before it is deeply imprinted, so she always knows how to fight regardless of what form she is in.

Elemental: Penny is not human, even though she looks like one. Once you get past the surface she is a advanced, futuristic, high spec combat machine, with all the benefits that such would entail. She doesn't need to breath, eat, or sleep. All she really needs to continue to exist is the magic flowing within her as she is made of her element.

• This perk was originally Evolution, but was replaced to removed the inherent instability that Evolution was causing in her systems.

Enhanced Uniform: Her new body was crafted by a combination of her own will and magic, bolstered by the White Coin of Beacon and then perfected by the Red coin. Penny's metal form is stronger, and more durable then equivalent compositions and builds purely because she designed it to be perfect for herself. She is inevitably a one of a kind, top of the line type of girl and her incredible resilience is just further proof of it.

• Due to her assimilation of Sirkkeli her armor has gained a unique function. Once activated her armor plate become reactive, turning into small spikes, shells, and even interlocked scales in response to attacks, effectively automating her defenses. This ability drains mana rapidly due to its unique origin.

Immortality: To many, being composed of advanced magical metals would be enough. For others it would be the innate power of rapid regeneration. For others still to have both would be as far as they would think to take it. Penny has all of that and yet still more. For whatever reason, perhaps it has something to do with her status as a mechanical entity, or her unwillingness to give in, or some unexplained aspect of her magic, Penny is insanely difficult to kill.

She is capable of continuing to function long past the point at which others would have fallen to the wayside, and what should be killing blows will simply fail to keep her down as very little is truly needed for her to keep functional.

Monstrous Metamorphoses: What once used to be a dangerous high stress fight or flight has, to a small degree, been tempered to a potent and still dangerous ace in the hole. Everything that Penny is returns to her origin point as all humanity is temporally suspended and she becomes an unrelenting Engine of Destruction.

She can still be pushed into this transformation, but it has become much more difficult.

Legacy: Due to the fact she has exorcised her human elements something fundamental about her has shifted, a lasting effect of her splitting and reforming. It can't be hidden, but neither can it really be seen, but something within Penny has been irrevocably changed, and anyone with a even a simple amount of skill in magic can tell. A persistent mark of all she has accomplished in a very short time.

There are some benefits to this however. Debilitating magics don't stick as well to her anymore. The debuffs either burn off at an accelerated rate or simply lack their intended potency. She also retains some portion of her Mind when she undergoes a metamorphosis, though how much is hard to quantify. Lastly more of her impressive physicality bleeds over into her Sealed state thus even when she is playing at humanity she is not to be taken lightly.

The final down side to all of this is that Penny can never truly be anything other then a Monster Girl. Ever.

Awareness: A magical sharpening of ones mundane senses. In and of itself not a powerful magical effect, but for someone like Penny it is nearly invaluable. Her senses were already attuned to more then normal, both by her strong connection to her elements and her status as something more than human. So this just brings all of that to even greater heights.

Intuition: A potent sixth sense, one Monstrous in origin as well, it allows Penny to divine what it is people are after, or what it is they actually want. Not always the most precise of understandings, often times little more than just vague hunches. But for one who has so many targets on her back it is a boon not to be underestimated. Also helps in getting those who aren't yet aware of what they need some assistance as well, which helps in the managing of the Sanctuary.

In addition, when paired with her Awareness, it grants another useful little trick. Penny is always aware of if she is being lied to, not matter the kind of lie.

Patron: Beacon

Patron Benefits

Shine Spark: The spark has always been a powerful thing, but as times move forward even the strongest things can be beaten. This was Beacons answer to all those that were finding ways to subvert the Spark defenses.

Alongside it's normal benefits, this upgraded Spark grants immunity to any attempt to forcibly change or control Penny's mind and rather than being a gentle shield it is capable of retaliating with force against the would be assailants.

Due to Penny's unique nature she can spur the Shine to even greater heights, unleashing a grand burst of Beacon's Light. Though she can usually only do so once per day.

Perfect life: The gift a picturesque family life. A Mother, a Father, possibly a pet. Alongside promised protections to those you befriend that are not in the know. A tempting offer, that Penny can't help but find tastes sour. Perhaps it's because she's not human, perhaps it’s due to how her life has been within the magical community thus far, but Penny does not care for having a family to go back to.

She appreciates the thought, but will never take the offered home.

Mana Font: Some are blessed with more than others; And Penny's reserves are vastly larger then one might expect due to her low casting capability.

Patron Drawbacks:

Excommunication: For siding with Beacon comes a few hard rules they will not tolerate being broken; No cooperating with Horrors, Dark Magical's, Monsters, or the Mint, the use of a Black Coin and the killing of another Beacon member. All of these land you on the kill on sight list and all prior privileges revoked.

Sadly Penny is already breaking a couple of these rules and has no plans to stop. For one She is a Monster girl still and knows that not all of her kind are bad and the same goes for Dark Magical girls.

She is in complete agreeance on all of the other rules however.

Vow: Hope: The very thing that allowed her to join Beacon in the first place, her never ending hope, is now her Vow. Despair is understood and allowed, but never can it rule over her. Nor can she allow other to give in to that abyss. She is to be the light that reminds others that tomorrow can be a better day, and to be the hand that is offered to help them back up.

~Other~ Because of odd circumstances or events Penny has benefits and drawback outside the normal Patron arrangements.

Transportation: Earth Bastion
Luck, timing, and a touch of insanity have caused Penny to acquire something beyond her normal limits. In the haze of her monstrous transformation Penny cannibalized the Earth Bastion seeking more metal to work with in effort to kill her target, at the same time Amber, to original owner of the ship, was killed weakening the magic binding it to the Pirate. This has made Penny the sole owner of this mobile fortress.

When not in use Penny pulls the magic of the ship inside her, storing the Earth Bastion somewhere else until she calls for it, while stored in this way it gains her regenerative capability.

Through use of the Sapphire coin Penny has further augmented her stolen ship, both binding it more fully to her and stocking it with a small selection of other vehicles. Two six persona Bowriders, six motorcycles, and an APC. All of them are connected to the Earth Bastion but can't be summoned independently of the greater ship, and when the Earth Bastion gets dismissed so too do the auxiliary vehicles.

+Magical Overload-: A blessing, originally granted Laat’AlOfan. Penny has come to enjoy the things that it grants; superior Physical talent at the cost of overt magical skill, and the radiance of a multifaceted soul. Penny is loathe to lose that which has come to identify with herself now.

-Monstrous Form+: Her curse, though you would not be able to convince Penny of that anymore. Her body is still made of Metal and runs off Lightning, but no longer does she need to tear things apart.

Yet due to the assimilation of Sirkkeli her soul has become even more twisted. Penny's reincarnation cycle is now anything but ordinary. She starts each new life as a full monster of very little danger or threat and must work towards refashioning herself into the Monster-girl that she truly is.

Debt: Cast off with no point of contact and no want to contact them. Penny leaves the Ebon mint with a small unpaid debt to the shadowy organization, one she has no intention of paying off.

Fighting Style: Penny's fighting style is a utterly unique to herself. On the surface she is fights using her superior physical capability in combination with her considerable skill at hand to hand to tear apart her foes. But the longer a fight goes on the more dangerous she becomes as she starts incorporating more and more of her opponents abilities into her own repertoire, if only temporarily.

More then that her body and on-board weapon platforms are not limited to their default configurations. Allowing her to alter her available tools at a moments notice. Add in the fact that any source of metal or electricity in the area are additional sources of potential for Penny and it becomes very obvious that the longer a fight goes on the more dangerous an opponent she becomes. The fact that she in nearly impossible to take out quickly just exacerbates the problems for her enemies.

And while her external magical talent is near useless in a straight fight, as she had been built for the purpose of physically destroying that which stands in her way, the fact that she can use her elements to augment her already fearsome physical capabilities, in a number of vast ways, the real danger of her magic is her ability to sense her elements making it near impossible to hide from her at close range.

All of this becomes exponentially more when she retreats into her E.o.D. as her natural elements are drawn to her and her mechanical nature reaches it's apex pushing her mental and magical utilization to their limit.

Personality:

What once was

Kind and altruistic, Penny always tries to look on the bright side of things and is always willing to help out those she can. Seemingly naive, She is always trusting of people at first meeting, though that comes more from her ability to take care of herself than of lack of judgment.

Unafraid and outgoing she will be the first to introduce herself and to try and make friends. That being said she is very hesitant to talk about who she used to be and has a good deal of empathy for those that have had their lives radically altered.

She is also a hopeless romantic, and unashamed to admit it if asked, and while this has caused her a recent heart break she is never the less happy with Chloe and is willing to give her all towards their new relationship.

All of this hides the fact that Penny is very much a broken individual. Her traumatic induction to the magical world has left her with many unseen scars, which leads her towards rapidly forming deep attachments to people in effort to gain some sense of stability in the chaotic world.

Once again a whole entity Penny is much as she used to be. Still kind, outgoing and altruistic she has nevertheless become more reserved, less inclined to blind trust yet also more willing to speak about herself and her past experiences. She still loves deeply and fiercely but is not so prone to giving away her heart to anyone who shows her a modicum of affection.

No longer burdened by her traumatic and pain filled origins Penny has set her sights on the future both near and far, no longer content to simply be a follower. With this new found sense of direction however a stubborn streak has reveal itself. One that has all the unyielding nature of steel.

And there are still hidden dangers within her psyche. Both left overs from Jason, and those that are uniquely her own.

History:

Starting

Few people, if any, are willingly inducted to carry out Laat'AlOfan’s will. Penny is no different. Back when ‘She’ was ‘He’ it was a simple case of wrong place wrong time. The Girl that Penny has replaced, like many before her, found a way to slip out from Laat's grasp, and chose to do such in defiance of the destructive God.

Were it at a different time, Jason would have kept his normal life; He worked as a Computer Engineer, tasked with developing and building new hardware and software. It was a simple life with no great appeal beyond the fact that it was his.

But it was a crucial time, and 'AlOfan rarely asks for permission from those he chooses to aid him, He sought the closest person who soul resonated with his intention and acted. Penny doesn’t recall her first night as chosen, and that does worry her.

Old

Since then Penny has found herself in a unique and dangerous position of being allied with both the Ebon Mint and The Beacon. Both of these groups sought her out due more to Laat'AlOfan's interactions then her own. Still she has proven to be a capable, if destructive, ally and help bring down Justine's forces and demolished the dark girl’s castle single handed.
Tired of being trapped under Laat and his machinations Penny ousted herself to Beacon. Not in hopes of mercy, but in hopes that her friends within the age old institution would not be caught flatfooted again by duplicity, as well as to spare more stigma against Monstergirls throughout Penrose.

Afterwards was a short stint of peace followed by one whirlwind of emotion after another. An old friend appeared, Chloe, at the same time that Penny was dealing with a frazzled and confused heart. Yet it was the intervention of a less force and a surprise Beach trip that helped settle things. Her love has been pledged to Chloe for better or for worse.

Cool acceptance by the Ascendancy has cooled Penny's first impression of the Fundamentalists but she is still wary of the militant force as she is a Monstergirl, possibly more. Never the less she trusts Alicia and her vision for the future of Beacon.

Recent

Once split and now reformed Penny is planning to more actively pursue her goal of building a safe haven for those seeking to stay out of the vast array of political machinations that plague Penrose. Even though she is a firm supporter of Beacon, she is not opposed to stepping away from the strict rules of the light of humanity if it means helping those who are too afraid to seek it themselves.

Now

Her prominence as Queen of Penrose is on the rise, for both good and ill. Penny is well aware of all those that are watching her. But that won't stop her, as even now she presses ever forward to secure a safe haven for those that don't want to be used or unfairly prosecuted for simply having magic of a darker flavor.

But she knowns that she is walking a tight rope, with plenty of people looking to see her fail. Not that she has any intention of stopping. But as she solidifies her position she is starting to turn her gaze outward looking to find and crush those that have already attacked her and her Sanctuary.

These Two Goofballs

Connie Williams

Name: Connie Williams (Empress of Nightmares)

Age (Magical Girl): 16

Age (Before Magical Girl): 16

Gender: Female

Gender (Before Magical Girl): Female

Appearance:

Normal

Transformed

The Perception

The Reality

“H-Hello. O-Oh? W-What? T-There’s s-something behind me?

As you can see, Connie has an average body for someone her age, and as the Empress of Nightmares wears a flowing robe in the style of a kimono.

Specialization: Oddball (Nightmares)-

Has the power to give people nightmares, as well as increase said nightmares' strength and realism. In a way, she can conjure up illusions and hallucinations for people in the waking world, but they are (normally) nowhere near as strong as those created by someone with the Illusion power set. They essentially tap into the fears and phobias already present in the individual and make them real. Connie has very little (if any) control over what form they take or what they do after being created, which can sometimes be a problem, since if they are tied to/powered by strong enough fears, the illusions can have a tangible effect on the physical world (in this way, they act rather like spirits as described by the Spirit specialization). Finally, in times of danger, Connie can surround herself with something resembling a pocket dimension, somewhat akin to a witch's barrier from Madoka, albeit nowhere near as powerful. It simply amplifies her nightmare aura and the strength of her illusions in its small area of effect.

Weapon: The Mask of the Endless Nightmare (Mystic)-

This is the terrifying artifact through which Connie was imbued with her dark powers, and which now amplifies these already considerable mystical abilities.

Power: Tendrils of Eternal Darkness (Tentacles)-

They manifest as inky black tendrils that can appear from any nearby surface, including Connie's outfit, and even small portals in the fabric of reality itself.

Perks:

Enhanced Weapon- The Mask of the Endless Nightmare is imbued with all the reality shattering power of The Lord of Nightmares. As such, it provides a greatly amplified level of power to its chosen wearer.

Power Artifact- The Diadem of Eternal Horror is an amethyst gemstone set upon the forehead of the Mask of the Endless Nightmare. If a strong enough fear is detected, it empowers Connie's illusions enough to solidify them into tangible entities.

Mystic Artifact- The Eye of Fear is a small pendant that Connie keeps hidden in the voluminous folds of her robe. Resembling a creepy crystalline eye glowing with sickly energies, it permits the user to peer into the psyches of nearby targets, allowing her to view traumatic events in their pasts, their presents, and even events they fear may come to pass in their futures, so as to better mold suitable nightmares for them.

Ally- Mia Cooper (Gaia, Daughter of Mother Earth) See attached character sheet.

Interdimensional Home- Ostensibly a small place where Connie can relax and recuperate, unbothered by the usual unpleasantness of her unusually unpleasant life, in actuality, since this space was created by the powers of the Lord of Nightmares, it is far too terrifying for someone like Connie. Thus, it is seldom visited. Or, at least, it was, before it got upgraded during a Christmas Party gift exchange. Now it has expanded into a full-sized house, which appears however Connie wishes it to (usually something excessively cute and cozy).

Patron: The Lord of Nightmares (Lesser Force)

Patron Benefits:

Focused- The Lord of Nightmares is the embodiment of Connie’s specialization and is only too willing to aid her in getting the most out of it. Her magic flows easily, and, with her patron’s guidance, she has the potential to wield her element with great efficiency. Spells cost her less mana.

Mental Link- Some Lesser Forces know spells or have abilities to communicate in subtle ways. The Lord of Nightmares is one of them. It can always communicate with Connie, at any time. This may not always constitute a benefit (Connie certainly hates it…), but means that she won’t be caught off guard if it discovers new information, and it is able to notify her if it requires her assistance immediately.

Hidden Death- As it is linked to a universal constant, if the Lord of Nightmares is somehow killed, it will come back in time. Connie won’t be called on to fight in heavy combat to defend it, instead her task will be to ensure it will return.

Mana Font- The Lord of Nightmares is capable of channeling massive quantities of energy to its chosen champion. As such, Connie has more mana than normal.

Mystic Might- The Lord of Nightmares has drastically improved Connie’s mystic abilities.

Patron Drawbacks:

Alien Mind- The Lord of Nightmares does not think in ways that make sense to a human mind. It has little to no understanding of the human experience. While it desires Connie’s well being it does not understand why she find its requests objectionable, and will not always know how to help her.

Formless- Since its essence is contained within the Mask of the Endless Nightmare, the Lord of Nightmares has no physical body. It cannot speak to Connie without employing its Mental Link with her, indicate things via pointing, or affect things directly without her aid.

Rival Force- Sweet Dreams are the antithesis of the Lord of Nightmares. Thus, it holds great animosity towards any beings who promote/are empowered by them. For her part, Connie will have to defend her patron often, and will likely be called on to make attacks on the agents of this rival.

Clueless- The Lord of Nightmares doesn’t know how other magic, monsters, or mystic phenomena in general work. It can’t offer Connie any meaningful advice on these topics.

Fighting Style:

Due to her timid and gentle nature, Connie tried to avoid combat, if at all possible. However, if her friends or innocents are in danger, she won’t hesitate to defend them. This mainly involves using her “Nightmare Barrier” to amplify the fear hallucinations produced by her opponents into tangible threats for them to face, allowing the conjured horrors to overwhelm her foes with sheer weight of numbers. Her tentacles can also assist in this regard, as well as helping to pull others to safety.

VIT: 4
MAG: 3
LCK: 3

Stats (Transformed):
STR: 5
AGI: 4
VIT: 6
MAG: 22
LCK: 5

Personality:

A gentle, kindhearted, and incredibly shy girl, Connie has always been easily frightened and embarrassed. Indeed, a list of her various phobias could easily stretch for half a mile. Having long been the victim of frequent bullying, she hates violence and wishes people would just get along. Even when she has to employ somewhat violent methods herself, she always feels bad about it and frequently apologizes to those she attacks or gives nightmares to.

Being more than a little naive, Connie is a big believer in the idea that the power of friendship can conquer anything. Thus, she deeply cherishes every one of her friends, although she holds a particularly special fondness for her best friend, and unofficial big sister, Mia. In contrast to Mia’s pragmatism, and in spite of her own fears and insecurities, Connie will always rush to help a friend in need, no matter the danger, a trait that Mia finds both admirable and more than a little concerning…

Despite appearances, Connie’s personality stays exactly the same in her magical girl form, something those who've encountered her often find quite incongruous.

History:

Connie never knew her parents. For as long as she can remember, she has lived in the Penrose Orphanage, bereft (with one notable exception) of family or friends. Often teased mercilessly by the other children because of her fragile and easily frightened nature, "Cowardly Connie the Crybaby" had only one small respite from this torment in the form of her best friend, and fellow orphan, Mia Cooper. Mia was always swift to jump to her defense, and provided poor Connie a much-needed source of care and encouragement in her otherwise bleak and miserable life. But Mia wasn't always around, and it was on one of these occasions that a group of Connie's most vicious tormentors decided to play their cruelest trick yet.

Dragging her to the orphanage's cellar, they shoved her inside and locked the door. Connie was completely terrified, but despite her sobs and desperate pleas, the door remained firmly secured against her escape. Beginning to hyperventilate, she franticly began searching for some other way out of the nightmare she found herself in. It was then that she saw it, an eerie glow emanating from the farthest depths of the cellar's suffocating confines. Hesitantly approaching it, she soon discovered that its source was an old mask. Being particularly terrified of them, she gave a shriek and fell over backwards, but before she could attempt to crawl away, a deep and sinister voice sounded within her mind. It announced itself as the Lord of Nightmares, and since she had discovered the mask within which its essence resided, she would be its new champion. Connie couldn't believe what she was hearing. She tried to protest, but before she could get out more than a feeble whimper, the mask launched itself at her face, and upon clamping tight upon it, flooded the pitiful girl with unimaginable quantities of dark power. Mere moments later, the horrifying transformation was complete. The shrinking violet Connie was no more, in her place stood the imposing Empress of Nightmares.

Connie's tormentors were in the midst of laughing at their pathetic victim's plight, when the Empress appeared before them. Not uttering a word, she spread her arms wide and unleashed a torrent of horrors dredged up from the darkest recesses of their minds. Once they had all been reduced to quivering cationic wrecks the Empress departed. While it seemed as if a wicked tyrant had been unleashed upon an unsuspecting world, nothing could have been further from the case. Even as the Empress of Nightmares, Connie was still the same timid girl she had always been. Utterly horrified by what had happened to her (and by what she had inadvertently done to the bullies), she went to the one place she felt safe- the room she shared with Mia. The room was empty, so she waited. When her roommate returned, she was initially taken aback by what her friend had become, but after quelling her shock, she gently helped Connie to get her bearings. It didn’t hurt that Mia herself was also secretly a magical girl and had been one for several years, a fact she now revealed to Connie. After telling her friend all she knew about life as a magical girl, and helping her change back to normal, Mia worked with Connie to develop a plan for navigating this new phase of her life.

In the relatively short time since she became a magical girl, Connie’s life has drastically changed. Rather ironically, these changes have been almost entirely for the better. She has made several new friends, gained increased confidence and control over her powers, and has even, along with Mia, been adopted by a veteran magical girl/woman and given a home of her very own. Of course, that’s not to say there haven’t been any problems, but Connie has been doing her very best to overcome each adversity, and become stronger as a result. For far too long now, she’s seen herself as little more than a burden to those she cares about, and so she has firmly dedicated herself to conquering her fears and further improving her control over her magical abilities. In this way, she hopes to become someone her friends can rely on, someone who can help to make her small corner of the world a better place.

We’ll see how it goes…

Incantation:

From the pitch black obsidian depths of your feverish and tormented minds I come! Phobias and lamentations are my gifts to all! Let your hands claw at your eyes and your wails deafen the multitudes! Tremble O World, for the Empress of Nightmares is upon you!

Note- This is said in a deep, imperious voice, with notably sensual undertones, as though she is clearly reveling in the power coursing through her. This could not be further from the truth. In fact, this incantation is spoken completely unwillingly on Connie’s part. She can’t help herself. She simply HAS to say it at the culmination of every transformation, whether she wants to or not, and she REALLY doesn’t want to. It creeps her the hell out.

Additional Info:

Connie is an aspiring artist who likes to paint pictures of cute and happy things, although her powers tended make these paintings turn out somewhat creepier than she intended, much to her disappointment. Thankfully, and to Connie’s immense joy, with her increased level of control, this is no longer the case. She also likes cute stuffed animals and frequently cuddles with her small collection when she's feeling particularly depressed/frightened (which was sadly quite often, but now happens significantly less).

As one might suspect, Connie absolutely HATES being the Empress of Nightmares. Even when transformed, she prefers to go by her real name. Of particular note, she is extremely terrified of masks, and since she wears a mask in her magical girl form, one of the weaknesses she’s trying (and failing) to overcome is being confronted with her own reflection (the first time she saw herself as the Empress, she nearly gave herself a heart attack).

Patron: The Lord of Nightmares

Type: Lesser Force

Name: The Lord of Nightmares

Appearance

You really don't want to know…

Don’t say I didn’t warn you…

Personality:

Tyrannical and demanding, the Lord of Nightmares is single-minded in its pursuit of eternally increasing the quantity and strength of intelligent beings’ nightmares. In this way, it is less of a thinking being and more of an elemental force.

History:

Not much is known about the Lord of Nightmares. It reveals its history to no one, not even its chosen champion, although, admittedly, Connie has never dared to ask it.

Resources:

Although staggeringly powerful in its focused area, the Lord of Nightmares’ resources are virtually non-existent. Despite what one would think regarding such a being, the Lord of Nightmares has no army of monsters or web of agents (other than Connie), and has very little presence in, or effect on, the world outside the realm of nightmares. On the other hand, since every creature has dreams, and thus nightmares as well, this has the potential to be a very mighty realm indeed.

Goals:

Give crippling nightmares to multiple (over twenty, at once) mundanes: Low?

Give crippling nightmares to a magical/dark magical/monster girl: Medium?

Give crippling nightmares to multiple magical/dark magical/monster girls: High?

Additional Info:

Bonded to the Mask of the Endless Nightmare, the Lord of Nightmares manifests itself to Connie as an inky black wraith-like being. Its form is amorphous and constantly shifting, but sometimes, on particularly unpleasant (and thankfully quite rare) occasions, Connie has seen what appears to be a face emerge from the darkness. What that visage depicts only Connie knows, but since it takes several hours of Gaia’s comfort to even begin to calm her, it’s probably best if we don’t find out.

Mia Cooper

Name: Mia Cooper (Gaia, Daughter of Mother Earth)

Age (Magical Girl): 15

Age (Before Magical Girl): 14

Gender: Female

Gender (Before Magical Girl): Female

Appearance:

Normal

Transformed

Mia has an average body type for her age, and as Gaia, wears an extremely skimpy outfit, usually consisting of little more than a skimpy bikini made of leaves and vines. On certain occasions, she might also wear a verdant flowing silky robe, but it is so thin, and it clings to her body to such a degree, that it still leaves very little to the imagination.

Specialization: Wood

Weapon: Nature’s Blossom (Mystic/Ranged)-

This is a green staff wrapped in leafy vines and small flowers. The leaves grow larger the closer they are to the top of the staff. It is here that a large multicolored flower blooms. Nature’s Blossom not only aids in focusing Gaia’s mystical power, but also serves as a ranged weapon, capable of shooting emerald beams of potent magical energy.

Power: Nature’s Fury (Barrage)-

Gaia can put out a staggering volume of offensive magical power. This mostly takes the form of swirling whirlwinds and surging torrents of vines, branches, and tendril-like beams of pure life energy. She can even cause roots and vines to shoot up from underneath her foes as well, assailing them from all angles.

Perks:

Dual Weapon- As noted above, Nature’s Blossom is a Mystic Weapon whose power is so great, that its normally weak magical beam is amplified into something far more impressive.

Enhanced Weapon- Nature’s Blossom is an extraordinarily powerful nexus of natural life energies. It is Mother Earth’s generous gift to her daughter, and it is Gaia’s great honor to wield it.

Purification Artifact- The Orb of Spring is a verdant, flower covered sphere that greatly amplifies Gaia’s already prodigious ability to purify an area of both pollution and unnatural entities. While it can keep an area clear of monsters, Gaia still needs to charge it and it only works in a fixed radius around the Orb itself. It also doesn't force monsters to leave an area they are already in, but it will make them uncomfortable and they’ll likely want to leave.

Big Red Button- Received during the Christmas Party gift exchange, pushing this button allows Gaia to teleport far outside the area of any danger, much like the Retrieval patron benefit. While it prevents her from being easily followed, it also prevents her from easily returning, and so must be used with care. It is not currently known if others in physical contact can be transported as well.

Patron: Mother Earth (Deity)

Patron Benefits:

Blessing- Gaia is capable of bestowing Mother Earth’s blessing on a person or place. This requires a special rite, but will have subtle but real effects, like purifying air and water, as well as promoting thriving and abundant plant life. In particular, this blessing is capable of Cleansing a person or place of unnatural energies, as described in the MG Rulings DOC, as well as Purifying an area of unnatural energies, in much the same way as a Purification Artifact. The effects of this second ability become even more pronounced when channeled through Gaia's own Purification Artifact, The Orb of Spring.

Divine Competence- Gaia is competent in several areas of skill and study associated with the natural world, especially plant life. This is no substitute for proper training and experience, but even in her untransformed state, she can be expected to manage without complete failure.

Mana Font- Mother Earth is capable of channeling massive quantities of energy to her chosen champion. As such, Gaia has more mana than normal.

Mystic Might- Mother Earth has drastically improved Gaia’s mystic abilities. She is truly a force of nature.

Gifted Item- Mother Earth has gifted her daughter with The Orb of Spring, a powerful Purification Artifact, described above.

Patron Drawbacks:

Rites- Gaia is the daughter of Mother Earth, thus there are rituals that she is expected to observe. Some are relatively easy, like tending a garden. Others require her to do things rather bizarre for modern society, like performing somewhat suggestive fertility dances.

Arrogance- While Gaia is undeniably precious to her, Mother Earth does regrettably tend towards arrogance. She frequently overestimates what her daughter is capable of and dismisses what her enemies are capable of. The demands she makes of her daughter may not actually be achievable for Gaia on her own, or even with help.

Big Brother (Overbearing Mother)- Mother Earth will often poke her nose into her daughter’s personal life, and be constantly checking up on her and observing.

Clueless- Mother Earth doesn’t know how other magic, monsters, or mystic phenomena in general work. She can’t offer Gaia any meaningful advice on these topics.

Fighting Style:

When Gaia needs to engage in combat, she employs every aspect of the natural world around her. From the tiniest blade of grass to the mightiest tree, all come to her aid in battle. Using her considerable command over plant life, Gaia can mold these allies into fearsome monstrosities. Coupled with magical blasts from Nature’s Blossom and barrages of branches, roots, and vines, the Daughter of Mother Earth can easily make short work of her would-be opponents.

VIT: 3

LCK: 3

Stats (Transformed):
STR: 5
AGI: 8

LCK: 5

Personality:

A brash, short-tempered tomboy, who always seems to be getting into trouble. Tough, abrasive, and holding a low opinion of pretty much everyone (and authority figures in particular), Mia usually isn’t a very pleasant person to be around. Her one soft spot is for her best friend, and fellow orphan, Connie Williams. She cares for her deeply, always offering talk with her about any and all of her myriad problems, and fully prepared to help her in any way she can.

When she becomes Gaia, her personality drastically changes. Gone is the flippant, tough talking tomboy, replaced by a serene, refined, elegant and unfailingly polite nymph-like demigoddess. She speaks calmly in this form, her voice sounding like a blissful sigh. As Gaia, it takes a lot to truly anger her, but if this is accomplished, her roars of displeasure have been known to take on the tone of a raging hurricane. Also, her affection for Connie is massively increased in this form, and she often cuddles with her friend, caressing her, giving her frequent hugs, gently stroking her hair, and even providing full body massages to help her relax.

Note that this affection is purely platonic. She thinks of Connie as a little sister, not as a romantic interest.

Since Connie’s induction into the magical world, Mia has mellowed considerably, with her mundane and magical selves increasingly blending into one another. Where once they might have seemed like two different people, now they are more like different facets of the same individual.

History:

An orphan, like Connie, Mia has known the former ever since they were little kids. Seeing how frequently bullied her friend was, Mia was always quick to leap to Connie’s defense, serving as her protector and the orphanage’s most feared bully hunter. Several years ago, while in the midst of a particularly vivid dream, she was visited by a being claiming herself to be Mother Earth. This being warmly informed Mia that she was the chosen recipient of her power, and that she would not only become her champion, but her daughter as well. Now, one might think an orphan would leap at the opportunity to have a kind and loving mother, but not Mia. She basically told the absurdly powerful goddess to go screw herself. Mother Earth, however, would not take “no” for an answer. Heedless of Mia’s increasingly stronger worded protests, the goddess flooded the unwilling girl with every ounce of her staggering power. When she had finished, Mia had been utterly transformed into the embodiment of nature’s power and beauty. The mouthy tomboy was no more. In her place was an otherworldly beautiful demigoddess, Gaia, Daughter of Mother Earth.

Although Mia hated being Gaia, she didn’t really have much choice in the matter and so grudgingly resigned herself to her fate, performing her missions for Mother Earth, while still trying to maintain some semblance of her former life. This continued for several years, until one fateful day, when she discovered that her best friend had also found herself in a similar predicament. Now, Mia helps Connie to acclimate to life as a magical girl as best she can. It has certainly been a bumpy ride so far, but not one bereft of benefits. Thanks to Connie’s desire to make new friends, Mia has found herself with a few of her own (including a boyfriend!), as well as a new home and family.

Perhaps becoming a magical girl wasn’t so bad, after all…

Incantation:

Nature’s beauty! Nature’s grace! Nature’s power! Behold! I am Gaia, Daughter of Mother Earth!

Additional Info:

Initially, Mia hated everything about being a magical girl and was greatly embarrassed by her magical girl persona (especially the outfit, or lack thereof). Nowadays, she is increasingly thankful she ended up becoming Gaia, as it allows her to keep watch over Connie and make some new friends in the process. She still gets a little embarrassed when she turns into Gaia, though. Mia also has a somewhat resentful relationship with Mother Earth, seeing her as highly annoying and controlling.

As Gaia, however, Mia absolutely loves Mother Earth, carrying out her wishes without question and eagerly striving to be the best daughter she can be. In this form she is not at all embarrassed by her skimpy outfit, viewing it as an opportunity to show the beauty of Mother Earth to all who gaze upon her. Also, as Gaia, Mia never goes by her civilian name, for various reasons. Even if the individual addressing her knows her civilian identity, she insists that they refer to her as Gaia, or sometimes even “Lady” Gaia. The only exception to this is (unsurprisingly) Connie, who she allows to call her Mia for old times sake (and because she often simply forgets Mia’s magical girl name in the first place).

Type: Deity

Name: Mother Earth

Appearance

Personality:

Kind, loving, warm and generous, but in an overbearing, smothering, highly controlling way. Mother knows what’s best and others will simply have to endure it, whether they like it or not.

History:

Apparently the sentient consciousness of Earth itself, she is the personification and protector of the natural world. Due to reasons too complex to note here, she is unable to exercise the totality of her vast power herself, but must instead imbue a chosen young woman with her massive mystical might. This “Daughter of Mother Earth” then acts as her agent, carrying out her bidding in the world.

Goals:

Cleanse/Preserve the natural world from mundane pollution: Low?

Cleanse/Preserve the natural world from magical pollution/corruption: Medium?

Defeat unnatural abominations (Horrors/Monsters) causing magical pollution/corruption: High?

Resources:

Mother Earth’s resources are as vast as the Earth itself. All of nature is hers to rule and command, and this authority now extends to Gaia as well. Of course, with pollution, deforestation, and various other environmental ills at an all time high, Mother Earth’s powers are not nearly as strong as they once were. Nevertheless, they are still not to be taken lightly.

Additional Info:

Mother Earth is quite pleased that her daughter has decided to take her friend Connie under her branches, so to speak. She is a goddess who seeks to nurture growth, after all, and what better growth to nurture than the potential of a dear friend?

Everyone's Favorite Character!

Violet Covington

Name: Violet Covington (Super Cute Pretty Pretty Magical Dream Princess)

Age (Magical Girl): 16

Age (Before Magical Girl): 16

Gender: Female

Gender (Before Magical Girl): Female

Appearance:

Violet

Hmmm... This situation with the Mint is quite the perplexing conundrum. How to proceed?

Magical Dream Princess

Wowie Zowie~! Like, Oh Em Gee~! Magical Dream Princess is, like, sooo super duper cute~! (giggle!)

Specialization: Oddball (Sweet Dreams)

Has the power to give people sweet dreams, as well as increase said dreams' strength and realism in order to inspire/comfort the dreamer and help them overcome nightmares. In a way, she can conjure up illusions and hallucinations for people in the waking world, but they are (normally) nowhere near as strong as those created by someone with the Illusion power set. They essentially tap into the hopes and, well, dreams already present in the individual and make them real. Violet has very little (if any) control over what form they take or what they do after being created, which can sometimes be a problem, since if they are tied to/powered by strong enough hopes, the illusions can have a tangible effect on the physical world, although, bering fueled by positive emotions, the effects are never all that bad (in this way, they act rather like spirits as described by the Spirit specialization). Finally, in times of danger, Violet can surround herself with something resembling a pocket dimension, somewhat akin to a witch's barrier from Madoka (a "Dream Barrier", if you will), albeit nowhere near as powerful. It simply amplifies her Sweet Dream aura and the strength of her illusions in its small area of effect.

Weapon: The Wand of Sweetest Dreams (Mystic/Ranged)

This incredibly cute and sparkly wand greatly amplifies Violet's already impressive mystical abilities. It can also fire powerful blasts of raw dream energy over a not inconsiderable distance.

Power: Deluge of Cuteness (Barrage)

In times of great danger, Violet can go all-out with her dream magic, expelling it in a mighty barrage of swirling, sparkling energy and a dizzying array of cute and whimsical objects and creatures. It is quite overwhelming, but Violet is left nearly exhausted afterwards. Or, as she likes to say "Magical Dream Princess needs a nappy wappy time..."

Perks:

Wealth and Resources- As heiress to a multi-billion dollar megacorporation, Violet has no lack of wealth or resources. Whatever she requests, her doting father quickly lavishes upon her. Thus, she effectively has access to all of Covington Industries' advanced (including experimental) technology and highly trained personnel. Although, with her recent investigation into supernatural concerns, she must be careful on how she phrases these requests. After all, she won't make any progress from inside a padded room. Note- Only usable when untransformed.

Enhanced Weapon- The Wand of Sweetest Dreams is an extraordinarily powerful nexus of dream energies, imbued with all the reality shattering power of The Sovereign of Sweet Dreams. As such, it provides a greatly amplified level of power to its wielder.

Dual Weapon- As noted above, The Wand of Sweetest Dreams is a Mystic Weapon whose power is so great, that its normally weak magical beam is amplified into something far more impressive.

Power Artifact- The Sphere of Happy Thoughts is a shimmering crystal pendant Violet wears around her neck. If strong enough hopes and dreams are detected, it will empower Violet's illusions enough to solidify them into tangible entities. Violet loves the pendent, because she thinks it's the "super duper pretty wittiest~!" She also likes how it draws attention to her chest...

Natural Aging- One of Violet's dreams is to be able to succeed her father as both head of the Covington family and CEO of Covington Industries. To permit her to do this even as a magical girl, Violet has been given the ability to continue aging like a normal human. Of course, when she is in her magical girl form she will always be a vivacious sixteen year old. After all, no one wants to see an old woman magical girl (or maybe they do, but Violet sure doesn't want to be one).

Money- As heiress to a multi-billion dollar megacorporation, Violet has no lack of wealth or resources. Still, she has always secretly wished to have her own source of income, separate from what her father lavishes upon her. Income she can use for her own secret endeavors that would be untraceable to him or to Covington Industries. Upon becoming a magical girl, this wish has been granted. Thus, Violet now has access to $3000 USD every month. The money is deposited into a secret bank account and adjusts for inflation.

Intuition- After reading through a book of wisdom she received during the Christmas Party gift exchange, Violet has gained the ability to sense the true motives of others, especially if they are harboring dark thoughts or ill intentions. This is extremely helpful for someone like Violet, who becomes so very naive and childish in her magical girl form.

Patron: The Sovereign of Sweet Dreams (Lesser Force)

Patron Benefits:

Focused- The Sovereign of Sweet Dreams is the embodiment of Violet's specialization and is only too willing to aid her in getting the most out of it. Her magic flows easily, and, with her patron’s guidance, she has the potential to wield her element with great efficiency. Spells cost her less mana.

Mental Link- Some Lesser Forces know spells or have abilities to communicate in subtle ways. The Sovereign of Sweet Dreams is one of them. As long as Violet possesses The Dreamscape Almanac, it can communicate with her at any time. This may not always constitute a benefit (Violet is rather ambivalent about it), but means that she won’t be caught off guard if it discovers new information, and it is able to notify her if it requires her assistance immediately.

Hidden Death- As it is linked to a universal constant, if the Sovereign of Sweet Dreams is somehow killed, it will come back in time. Violet won’t be called on to fight in heavy combat to defend it, instead her task will be to ensure it will return.

Mystic Might- The Sovereign of Sweet Dreams has drastically improved Violet's mystic abilities.

Manna Font- The Sovereign of Sweet Dreams is capable of channeling massive quantities of energy to its chosen champion. As such, Violet has more mana than normal.

Patron Drawbacks:

Clueless- The Sovereign of Sweet Dreams doesn’t know how other magic, monsters, or mystic phenomena in general work. It can’t offer Violet any meaningful advice on these topics.

Rival Force- Nightmares are the antithesis of the Sovereign of Sweet Dreams. Thus, it holds great animosity towards any beings who promote/are empowered by them. For her part, Violet will have to defend her patron often, and will likely be called on to make attacks on the agents of this rival.

Alien Mind- The Sovereign of Sweet Dreams does not think in ways that make sense to a human mind. It has little to no understanding of the human experience. While it desires Violet's well being it does not understand why she might find some of its requests objectionable, and will not always know how to help her.

Formless- The Sovereign of Sweet Dreams has no physical body. It cannot speak to Violet without employing its Mental Link with her, indicate things via pointing, or affect things directly without her aid.

Fighting Style:

When she needs to fight ”meanie weanie nightmares" and the beings who cause them, Magical Dream Princess primarily relies on the might of her magic to win the day. A mystic powerhouse, she can craft all kinds of dream constructs to suit any situation. She usually lets these do the bulk of the fighting, while she backs them up with blasts from her wand. If her enemies get too close, she will form her dream barrier around herself, within which her dream manifestations are even more powerful. Finally, in times of last resort, Magical Dream Princess can let loose a massive barrage of raw dream energy, but such an enormous expulsion of power is very draining for her, leaving her exhausted and vulnerable.

Stats (Transformed):
STR: 4
AGI: 9
VIT: 4

Personality:

Violet is calm, cool, and refined. She is always perfectly poised, always in control of her emotions and actions, as is expected of the daughter of Thane Covington and heiress of the respected Covington family. She is very smart and calculating, deeply invested in fully preparing for her future role as CEO of Covington Industries, and Head of the Covington Family. Incredibly mature, she has no time for games or other childish foolishness. She often comes across as haughty and arrogant, but she likes to think of herself as simply confident in her own abilities, and mindful of the respect she should be afforded due to her high station.

In her Magical Girl form, however, Violet's personality changes completely. She becomes incredibly childish and ditzy, acting like a sickeningly sweet and cutesy valley girl. Staggeringly bubbly and hyper, she goes from being rigidly focused to having the worst case of ADHD imaginable. She finds it almost impossible to concentrate, never thinks before she speaks, and often forgets things mid sentence. Even her voice changes from her usual deep and mature tone to a high-pitched girly one. She also often speaks in the third person in this form. Her usual seriousness is replaced by an upbeat, carefree, and extraordinarily playful attitude. When she's in this form, she just wants to have fun and it's almost impossible to get her to take anything seriously (her father's wellbeing is a notable exception to this).

Since becoming a magical girl, Violet has slowly allowed small traces of her transformed persona to influence her mundane self. In particular, she has been making a determined effort to treat others with greater respect and kindness.

History:

Violet is the daughter (and only child) of Thane Covington, CEO of Covington Industries, a powerful corporation involved in a myriad of pollutive industries (pollutive not only in the sense that they damage the natural world, but also in the negative effect they have on quality of life/international relations. In particular, since they manufacture a LOT of weapons they are always on the lookout for ways to increase the market for them). In her efforts to help Connie make the best use of her powers, Gaia had her plague the elder Covington with horrific nightmares about the results of his environmental destruction. Seeing her father continually plagued by them to the point of insomnia, Violet sought out ways for dealing with the unusually vivid and persistent nightmares. Possessing an abundance of resources as a wealthy heiress (including a recent deal with the Ebon Mint), she soon found what she was looking for-The Dreamscape Almanac, an ancient tome, said to contain the secrets of dream magic. Tasking a pair of Mint agents to retrieve the book from Mariette Pedersen, the ancient tome was soon delivered into her possession (although not soon enough for Violet's liking). Opening the book, she was amazed to discover that its pages held the power to communicate with a powerful mystical being, trapped within its pages. This "Sovereign of Sweet Dreams", as it called itself, informed the heiress that it could imbue her with the power to help her father, if she would only agree to become its new champion. After some intense deliberation, Violet agreed to the being's terms and was flooded with powerful energies, until she had been utterly transformed. Gone was the haughty, refined heiress. In her place was the bubbly, hyperactive, and incredibly ditzy Super Cute Pretty Pretty Magical Dream Princess! Happily thanking her Patron for her new abilities, Violet set out to "Save Daddy Waddy from those meanie weanie nightmares~!”

However, that task turned out to be a fair bit more complicated than it had initially seemed. For one thing, Violet soon discovered that Connie was just as much a victim as her father, and, in addition, she was forced to confront the truth of the elder Covington’s less than noble actions. There was also the revelation that the Ebon Mint were a far more sinister force than she had initially believed. Now, with her father recovering from a curse secretly placed upon him by the Mint itself, Violet finds herself leading a double life, walking a treacherous tightrope between serving as the interim head of Covington Industries (and secret partner of the Mint), and being an idealistic magical girl, who wants everyone to live in peace and love.

Fortunately, Violet is not without friends (including a girlfriend) to lend a helping hand. She still must be cautious, of course, but now she has the opportunity to beat the Mint at their own game of deception, while restoring the hopes and dreams of her beloved city in the process.

No matter what the future may hold, one thing is certain- she has a lot of work to do...

Incantation:

"Hearts, Candy, Sparkles, and Balloons~! Sunshine, Glitter, Unicorns, and Rainbows~! Taaa daaa~! Magical Girl Super Cute Pretty Pretty Magical Dream Princess is here~! (giggle!)"

Additional Info:

Violet has always been aware of the mystical nature of the world. She can "peer behind the veil" and perceive supernatural occurrences where others would just see some mundane analogue.

She also has a photographic memory, although only when untransformed. As Magical Dream Princess, her memory can sometimes be compared to that of a goldfish...

One might think that Violet would completely despise her magical girl persona, but they would be wrong. In reality, Violet absolutely LOVES being Magical Dream Princess, since it lets her finally be free to express all the parts of herself she had been forced to keep hidden all her life. It's the ultimate form of stress relief for such an uptight and emotionally repressed girl, and she is loving every minute of it!

Patron- The Sovereign of Sweet Dreams

Type: Lesser Force

Name: The Sovereign of Sweet Dreams

Appearance

Personality:

Fun-loving and carefree, the Sovereign of Sweet Dreams is nevertheless single-minded in its pursuit of eternally increasing the quantity and strength of intelligent beings’ sweet dreams. In this way, it is less of a thinking being and more of an elemental force.

History:

Not much is known about the Sovereign of Sweet Dreams. It claims to have no knowledge of its past. It has simply existed, and will continue to exist, as long as people continue to have sweet dreams.

Resources:

Although staggeringly powerful in its focused area, the Sovereign of Sweet Dreams' resources are virtually non-existent. Despite what one would think regarding such a being, the Sovereign of Sweet Dreams has no army of cutesy creatures or network of agents (other than Violet), and has very little presence in, or effect on, the world outside the realm of dreams. On the other hand, since every creature has dreams, this has the potential to be a very mighty realm indeed.

Goals:

Give sweet dreams/banish nightmares to/from multiple (over twenty, at once) mundanes: Low?

Give sweet dreams/banish nightmares to/from a magical/dark magical/monster girl: Medium?

Give sweet dreams/banish nightmares to/from multiple magical/dark magical/monster girls: High?

Additional Info:

The Sovereign of Sweet Dreams manifests itself to Violet as a colorful mixture of whimsical creatures and objects. Sometimes it is a unicorn rainbow with butterfly wings. At other times, it might resemble a cupcake with cat ears and a tail. Regardless, it is always something sickeningly cute.

It should also be noted that, although Violet freed it from many of its shackles, the Sovereign is still bound to The Dreamscape Almanac. If Violet were to lose possession of the book, the Sovereign could potentially be sealed away once more. If this happens, Violet would completely lose all her magical power, until such time as the Sovereign could be freed once more.

A New Challenger Approaches!

The Angel of Hope

Name: Angela Rei Sakatori (The Angel of Hope)

Age (Magical Girl): 16

Age (Before Magical Girl): 16

Gender: Female

Gender (Before Magical Girl): Female

Appearance:

Angela

The Guardian Angel

As you might be able to tell from the above image, in her magical girl form, Angela is Overdeveloped and wears a Skimpy outfit.

Specialization: Reinforcement

Angela chose this because she's always been one to think outside the box. Not only did she see how it would give her stat boosts in more categories than any other Spec, but she was also aware of how creative individuals (like herself) could use the Spec to boost her own capabilities even further as well as to create weapons and armor to help her attack enemies directly. Of course, as the Angel of Hope, she uses her Spec in a more traditional, if still overpowered, way. Chiichuu likes this choice because it means his operative will need to work with other magical girls in order to be most effective, thus granting him the opportunity to attempt to recruit them.

Weapon: The Celestial Staff of Radiant Empowerment (Mystic)

Angela wanted to be a magical powerhouse, so she chose a Mystic Weapon. She had hoped it would be a dark and edgy scepter, but she got this instead. It has no offensive abilities whatsoever, but it does greatly enhance her magical power (for purely defensive spells, of course).

Power: Third Eye

Angela has the Sight, allowing her to see the flows and after effects of magic. Her sense of magic is extremely precise - she can pierce illusions, trace the effects of faded rituals, or know the type of magic being used at a glance. Most helpfully, her highly attuned magic sense allows her to predict incoming spells. If she is quick enough (which she almost always is), this can let her dodge attacks or counter them with her own. She can also easily tell when an Overcity entrance is nearby, though it will take her some time to determine exactly how to activate it. This works even out of costume.

Perks:

Enhanced Weapon- Angela figured the best magical girl should have the best weapon, and so the Celestial Staff of Radiant Empowerment has been enhanced to it's fullest potential.

Enhanced Outfit- Same goes for her outfit. It provides even an even greater boost to her agility than it would normally.

Enhanced Sustenance- Angela mainly chose this so she could stay up all night to play video games. Being able to go on longer missions was a cool side benefit, and not needing air to breath was always nice, too.

Wings- Angela was initially planning on a demoness aesthetic, so wings were a necessity. Unfortunately for her, they came out a lot more angelic in appearance than she was hoping for.

Gifted- An obvious choice. Her barriers are stronger than normal and she can create more of them. She can also heal others much faster than normal and her healing and augmentation abilities can affect multiple people at once.

Patron: Chiichuu (Puchuu)

Patron Benefits:

Job Satisfaction- This manifests itself as far more than a simple joy in defeating monsters. Rather, Angela's entire attitude and outlook is drastically altered. Upon transforming, she goes from a selfish, obnoxious brat to someone who is utterly selfless, humble, and heroic. Angela is not a particularly large fan of this, although she does enjoy the feeling of rapturous bliss she receives when she completes her objectives.

Chatty- Chiichuu is quite the amiable little fellow, at least most of the time. He will happily tell Angela all sorts of tales about magical realms and treasures, but his own personal history, and especially the events leading to the death of his old team, are completely off limits. Also, the tales he loves to tell are often complete bullshit. They're simply ways to motivate Angela to go to the places and do the things he wants her to.

Mystic Might- As his only magical operative at the time of her empowerment, Chiichuu wanted to make Angela the best magical girl she could be, so he greatly increased her already substantial mystical abilities.

Manna Font- In the same way, he has also granted her an increased supply of mana.

Patron Drawbacks:

Cagey- While certainly talkative, there are some topics Chiichuu will simply not discuss under any circumstances. In addition, much of what he says often fails to convey the full picture of a situation. Other times, his "information" is just complete bullshit.

Expendable- While Chiichuu's pool of agents numbers a mere two, the furry creature still sees Angela as expendable, especially if there's an opportunity to contract with more fitting girls. As far as Chiichuu is concerned, Angela is little more than a placeholder until he can put together a proper team once more. For her part, Angela is so full of herself that she has a hard time believing any opponent would be too much for her to handle, and as the Angel of Hope, she is only too willing to give up her life for the sake of others.

Big Brother- Chiichuu was once the supervisor of a very active squad of girls, and he expects the same level of activity and training from Angela. He's often close by, advising her, admonishing her for her poor attitude and mistakes, and pressuring her to perform more training and go on more missions.

Fighting Style: She's a Reinforcement Specialist. Thus, she mainly assumes a support role, healing her allies, enhancing their abilities, and providing barriers to shield them from even the strongest attacks. If Angela had her way, she would use her Spec to boost her own combat abilities and create weapons and armor for herself, but as the Angel of Hope, she finds herself utterly incapable of performing any offensive or aggressive actions whatsoever, refusing to directly harm even the most threatening of monsters.

Personality:

In her mundane form, Angela is loud, obnoxious, and completely full of herself. She thinks that she is the greatest magical girl ever, and loves to tell people that fact, whether they want to hear it or not. An avid video gamer, she treats being a magical girl like a game and constantly brags about her exploits on chatrooms like Glimmer.

As the Angel of Hope, Angela is kind, motherly, modest, and humble, always trying to help others to the best of her ability and constantly offering words of encouragement. She will happily offer advice but is reluctant to take charge of a situation, preferring a supportive role. She has the appearance, attitude, and demeanor of a guardian angel. Despite her power and experience, she is highly submissive around others and obeying nearly every command issued to her.

History:

The Angel of Hope

Not much is known about her. She appears before other magical girls when things are at their worst and does her best to protect her new allies (as well as any civilians, of course) and turn the tide of battle in their favor. After victory has been attained she disappears as mysteriously as she arrived.

The Best Magical Girl

Although she constantly fills the chatrooms and message boards of Glimmer with her loud boasts and obnoxious self-aggrandizement, no one really seems to know too much about her. In fact, it seems that no one has ever even seen her in person, and many believe that she isn't even a magical girl at all. Not that such accusations really bother her. Despite the low opinion everyone else seems to have of her, she keeps on telling all who will listen how much better she is than them, and how lucky they are that she decided to grace their humble chatroom with her illustrious presence.

The Real Story

Our story really begins a few years ago, in the prosperous city of Hydrangopolis on the west coast of the United States. A major hub of biotech research, the city was on the cutting edge of advances in environmental restoration and genetic engineering. One corporation in particular, Eden Enterprises, was on the cusp of its greatest breakthrough yet, the development of a true panacea, a cure for every ailment known to humanity. Naturally, they kept the project under a veil of the strictest secrecy, but despite all their precautions, someone, or rather, something did take notice. And it was not at all pleased by what it saw. The eldritch entity known only as The Blight could not allow such a creation to come into existence, and so it took drastic steps to prevent this.

An army of its monstrous minions descended upon Hydrangopolis, and the Eden Enterprises research complex, in particular, causing untold destruction. Every magical girl and heroic magical being in the area rushed to the city’s defense. Some of these defenders came from even farther afield, including Gaia, who helped defeat an infernal behemoth in the process of igniting the volcano within nearby Mount Folkelin. However, this was but a prelude of what was to come. Just as the monster threat seemed to be under control, The Blight itself made its grand appearance. None could stand against its power, and all seemed lost, but then, like a ray of purest sunlight, a squad of the city’s greatest magical girls charged forth to deliver a final, desperate, last-ditch attack. Every last ounce of the quartet’s power was put into that single combined strike, and even then, it almost wasn’t enough.

Almost.

Ultimately, The Blight was annihilated for all time, but, sadly, so were the ones who had slain it. Not even dust remained. It was as if every trace of them had ceased to exist. No one, magical or mundane, even remembered their names. No one, except for Chiichuu. The girls’ Puchuu had watched with both sorrow and admiration as his charges had performed their heroic sacrifice. They had been his best, the best he had ever known in all the long millennia of his life. And now they were gone. Now, as the city of Hydrangopolis began the long, slow process of recovery, so would he. He knew he would never find anyone as capable as his former team, but there had to be a worthy candidate somewhere amongst the surviving inhabitants of the city, and so he began his search…

Unfortunately, after days of looking, he had come up empty-handed. It appeared as though every potential candidate had already been claimed by one Patron or another in a mad dash to replace their fallen champions. Chiichuu, being the calm and methodical creature that he was, had simply been too slow. Now all that were left to him were the dregs, people completely unsuited to the role of magical protector. One such person was a teenage girl named Angela. At the end of his proverbial rope, Chiichuu had decided to test out the admittedly dubious idea that an exceptional video game player might also make for at least a decent magical warrior, and so, he had researched the various leader boards to see if any locals were in the top spots. To his surprise, someone was, and on multiple games as well. Angela Rei Sakatori.

Traveling to her house, he was disappointed to discover a mouthy, self-obsessed brat, who only seemed to care about stroking her own hyper-inflated ego. She was a far cry from the members of his previous squad that was for sure… Still, he could work with this. Since she was so interested in being the best, he told her that she could become the best magical girl. This, and the fact that she would have magical super powers, was quite appealing to someone like Angela, so she smugly accepted the furry creature’s offer. However, although she was told that she would have complete control over the transformation process, this was only true up to a point… While she would pick the options, he would choose how they were implemented.

For instance, while Angela wanted to appear like an ultra-edgy and super-sexy demoness/dominatrix, Chiichuu had something a bit more angelic in mind. And so it went. The biggest change would be the affect the transformation would have on her personality. Normally, the benefit of “Job Satisfaction” would simply make the recipient more amenable to their task of slaying monsters, but Chiichuu decided to go a bit further, giving Angela a complete change in outlook and behavior. The obnoxious and self-centered girl would now become someone far more selfless and heroic. When the transformation was complete, Angela, or rather the Angel of Hope, as she now called herself, still wasn’t a match for any of the Puchuu’s former champions, but she was close enough.

Staggeringly kind and submissive, the Angel of Hope profusely thanked “Master” Chiichuu for his “wondrous gift”, and immediately set out to help those in need. Naturally, when she returned and changed back into Angela, she was none too pleased by what the Puchuu had done to her. But there was no going back now, Chiichuu informed her. She was a magical girl, and that was that. Since then, the ever-competitive Angela has strived to be the best magical girl possible, despite the annoying problem of her massive attitude change when she enters her magical form. She constantly brags about and over inflates her exploits on every Glimmer chatroom and message board she can find, to the great displeasure of everyone who has misfortune of encountering her. Meanwhile, the Angel of Hope continues to be a mysterious savior to all those in need, whether mundane or magical, never seeking praise, but simply disappearing after the battle in her usual humble fashion.

Chiichuu, for his part, is still looking for prospective candidates to fill the vacancies remaining in his team. Fortunately, a recent (and, in Angela’s case, incredibly embarrassing) visit to Penrose actually led to the recruitment of a second magical girl, one whom Angela utterly despises. Unfortunately, despite her constant desire to beat the crap out of her smug new teammate, she has found herself completely unable to lay a hand on her. Indeed, life has recently become so intolerable for poor Angela that she frequently finds herself wishing that she could leave annoying, insipid Hydrangopolis behind and go somewhere, anywhere, else. Little does Angela realize, but her wish is about to be granted…

Incantation:

“Radiant power of the celestial heights, fill every fiber of my being! Remake my mortal shell into a fitting vessel for your splendor! To all those in despair, take heart and fear not! For I, the Angel of Hope, have arrived!”

Additional Info:

Loves video games and is obsessed with being the best at them. Hates her magical girl persona, but tolerates it for the sake of having magical powers.

Magical Coins: 0

Patron-Chiichuu

Type: Puchuu

Name: Chiichuu

Personality:

Polite to those he feels deserving, otherwise he can be very snide, condescending and rude to those beneath his respect (especially those he considers to be failures).

History:

Having been in the business of supervising magical teams for several centuries, Chiichuu reached his pinnacle about a decade ago, when he recruited what was, in his humble opinion, the greatest squad of magical defenders in this, or any other universe. Those were glorious days indeed, but, sadly, they have faded into history. Now begins the time of Chiichuu's decline, as other, more influential powers eclipse his once mighty influence and prestige. Although perhaps his luck may be returning... after all, a recent trip to Penrose provide the opportunity to recruit a powerful and skilled magical girl ( who came with the added bonus of having a much more tolerable personality than Angela). Perhaps his dream of a return to glory may soon be attained…

Resources:

Once Chiichuu's resources were many and vast. Now they are few and greatly restricted. He currently has only two agents, although he is constantly on the look out to increase that number, and in a stroke of supernaturally bad luck, all of his former contacts, friends and associates cut off all ties and refuse to even chat with him. All very distressing... For his part, Chiichuu believes that The Blight cursed him in a final act of defiance just before his former squad vanquished the horror for all eternity.

Based on his current situation, it certainly seems that way...

Additional Info: He likes Veggie Pizza

Howdy - I gave the OP a cursory look-over and the RP seems like a fun time. I'm curious, though, what's with all the multi-character sheet submissions? If I'm reading the rules right, we can have two active/main characters at a time. So what's with all the applications with a bajillion characters?

I am also confused, how are people getting like three specializations and up to nine perks, et cetera? Unless I'm missing something, the default perk amount is five - seven with a gold coin. I can't find a way to gain more than one specialization either; gold just lets you choose among the list.

One last question: how much do stats actually matter? I'm under the assumption this is a play-by-post, narrative RP, so are stats just like a guideline to be used in the background, or are there tangible mechanics to this?

[FamishedPants]

We are a few seasons into this universe and everyone who has submitted an application so far is a returning player who is migrating their applications from the former RP to this one. Not all of the characters you see are actual PCs and may just be NPCs or familiars, though your confusion is understandable and perhaps brings to light the need for clarification on the player's end of who is what. Also, I think the two PC rule is a typo and is meant to be three.

Stats are generally negligible unless there's a big disparity between two given characters/monsters/whatever is relevant. With a few exceptions, fights generally aren't reliant on stat checks.

But of course, Ari can go ahead and give you an official GM-sponsored answer, I'm just some guy being a dude.

@Slamurai

Hello there, thanks for checking this out. The reason people have submitted more than three player characters or NPC's is because they are either rotating their player characters or using them as established NPCs. While players are limited to playing a certain number of them at a time, they can create as many as they want and swap between them.

As for additional stats, people have earned them for playing in the RP as rewards in the form of magical coins. However, in this RP, stats serve more as a guideline for the character than hard-set ruling. For example, a character with less strength than an opposing character can overcome the difference by applying another advantage or a clever solution. In general, the RP focuses on the narrative rather than crunch.

Hopefully this cleared up some of the confusion regarding the RP. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them.

[Slamurai]

Gotcha, so this is a continuation of a pre-existing RP. That clears it up for me.
So going in fresh with a new character, can I expect to write up an introductory arc where they actually gain their powers and come to terms with being a magical girl, or start already having taken up the magical girl mantle?
& Do you have an anticipated start date for the IC itself?

Before I got ham on the sheet, I want to ask about the Emergency choice at the start. It reads "Choose two non-artifact combat perks. You may shift other perk rolls to the combat table for free."
Are those two combat perks you pick in *addition* to the five you roll for, or do they just replace the first two on the combat table?

[Ariamis]

@Slamurai
You can introduce the character with the origin of how they came to receive their powers or as having a past in the magical community before taking part in the events at Penrose. You can even have them start as a normal person who happens to be magic-sensitive and sees past the Masquerade, and later receives their powers. Most players have started with established bonds with their Patrons, but opening up by showing how the bond was formed or before they have met is also valid.

I'll be giving this one more week before I'll start the IC, or earlier if the RP player slots end up filled.

The Emergency choice grants two additional combat Perks, for a total of seven.
