Just keeping everyone apprised I'll have an update to the event up either tomorrow or the night after.

One thing is for certain: The tree is riding high on plant power.
@VitaVitaAR - Excellent news. I've posted her to the Characters tab.
  • Name: Sophia Topplepot.
  • Age: 14.
  • Gender: Female
  • Appearance:Normal
  • Personality:

    Quiet. Calm. Stoic.

    Her face is a mask of calm, her emotions hidden well behind it's perfect stillness. She is taciturn, ill inclined to speak and always deliberate with what words she chooses. Despite this she is never very harsh in her tone. She is soft spoken and though she can be caring it is hard for her not to come off as distant or closed off towards others.

    Behind her mask she hides a great deal of pain. Her condition has left her wheelchair bound and with each passing month her body worsens leaving her less and less able. With the knowledge that, as most doctors she's seen have informed her, she is unlikely to live past eighteen her outlook has become rather grim. Despite her severe handicap however she uses her magic powers to help those in need and protect the innocent. She tends to look at the big picture and often considers the greater good but tries not to forget to do right by those close to her. Though selfless in her pursuit in helping mankind with her magic she pays just enough heed to herself to effectively support herself as she is a means to the bigger picture which is the good of all.

    She is fairly studious as well, being well read with a particular eye towards the classics. She has a rich English verbiage which frequently bleeds into her day to day dialect. Due to her severe physical handicap her interests are often fairly insular and passive. She dislikes stress and hardship but is realistic enough to understand that unpleasantness sometimes cannot be avoided, only confronted.

    Her determination to succeed in this Hex Night is strong as it presents one of the only opportunities she'll have of having her wish made reality. Given how long she's expected to live she doesn't see any realistic alternatives.
  • Skills: She's well studied and holds a decent trove of miscellaneous knowledge which leans heavily on history.
  • Brief Backstory:

    Sophia was a sickly child from birth. As it turned out she possessed a genetic defect where her ribcage is too small for her organs. This is known as Thoracic Insufficiency Syndrome. This defect resulted in her ribcage putting pressure on her heart and lungs, leading to constant chest pains and shortness of breath. The weakness in her heart and breath left her enfeebled. She's been wheelchair bound from an early age and it hasn't improved with time.

    A young girl in a wheelchair with an oxygen mask seemed like quite the odd candidate for magic powers indeed. Regardless she accepted her newfound gift and used it to combat the darkness formed from the negative emotions of mankind. She has battled the darkness for some time but with her worsening condition it seemed like she might not have much longer to do battle, her health declining with the steady passage of time. When she got word of this Hex Night taking place she set out from her home in Britain to Japan so she might reach for this grand prize.

    At this point there was little for her to lose.

    • Magical Girl Appearance:Transformed One detail that differs from the image is that her irides are completely black in this form.
    • Concept: The Macabre.
    • Archetype: The Raven's Quill.
    • Abilities:

      Sophia is a rather delicate summoner who's main forms of attack are swarms of shadow based ravens which mob her enemies with their sharp beaks and talons. The ravens are mostly intangible which makes them difficult to damage physically. As they are shadow based light based attacks disperse them the easiest. Other forms of magical attacks vary in their effectiveness against the ravens with physical attacks being the weakest method to use against them. A strong enough melee attack will disperse a raven that's struck but their bodies are fairly fluid, able to reshape quite easily after being struck by physical blows. In addition she can extend her sight through these ravens by closing her eyes and seeing through those of the shadow's own.

      Her other power allows her to blend into the darkness allowing her to hide up a certain amount of mass from sight. The effectiveness of this concealment scales with the size and intensity of the shadow used. Perfect darkness allows for perfect concealment while a dim shadow only allows for partial concealment.

      She does not possess access to her greatest abilities as she is unaware of her Archetype's nature.
Here is the complete CS.

@VitaVitaAR - I have a quick question: Should WIP's be posted to the OOC here or sent to you via PM for early review? The feelings on that differ from thread to thread so I'm just asking to be safe. I have my character mostly finished and I plan to finish her just as soon as I get some rest since my brain is screaming at me for sleep but I want to let it be known what I've written up for the sake of others.

Edit: I must rest for now so I'll leave this WIP here. There's not much left, just the appearance and a small section of the abilities. I'll have the rest up as early as I can when I wake.


Indeed. The dwarves have been the most adversely effected thus far.
@Kalas - I will note that the spire hasn't technically caused any deaths so far as everyone effected is technically still alive. They're just plants now.
I'll have an update on the plant spire event up once Duoya posts.


If this rp isn't full up already I may throw my hat in the ring and make a smol girl to suffer fight to make her dreams come true.

I'm pleased to announce we've officially hit two hundred posts!


I'm very proud of everyone involved for helping us reach this milestone. Let's keep at it and build this universe until it's enviable by even the most venerated of rp's!

In the meanwhile, have a tree! Take your pick! Thanks to the dragons there's all kinds of trees you can find now. They are a little big though.

Edit: Here's a glimpse at the Fate those who are exposed to too much divine plant power will suffer.
