Mahou Shoujo no Hex Night: A Magical Girl Battle RP

(double post because I'm a fucking idiot who forgot to add this lol)

@RolePlayerRoxas So I'm intent on having Nico do a right proper prayer at the shrine, but I want to clarify a few things with it first

Does it have a bell, and if so, can the public touch it or is it only for the shrine operators? I've read that some don't allow it, so I want to double-check with you on that one.

Also, some sources say you need to ring the bell before an offering, others say you need to ring it after an offering. I know it seems like a silly question to ask, and prolly not something you thought of, but I still want to double-check it in which order you'd want it.

EDIT: Oh, and would Himeko stick around to watch Nico's prayer or would she continue on her way? It's not particularly important she stays, but I would need to keep it in mind once Nico turns around to leave as she'd notice if Himeko had been watching.

@ACHTUNG: Will take a look at yours again shortly, but I still really don't feel like your concept works well even with your explanation.

For everyone else, it seems I need to discuss the intended tone of the RP.

I didn't want to nail this down to a specific inspiration because I didn't want to give people too many preconceptions about the tone. I guessed that what would inform tone would at least be in part the rules of the Hex Night as posted in the OP.

The Hex Night itself was established to avoid magical girls being killed because of the monster that would form every twenty years.

I'm absolutely fine with darker moments and nastier, ruthless antagonists(some of the NPCs will be just that) but this isn't Madoka, it's much lighter than that. Even girls who are utterly ruthless in the Hex Night were people the fairy picked because she thought they had potential as magical girls who protect the innocent.

What I'm saying is the tone isn't super light, but it's not incredibly dark like Madoka. It's serious, with darker moments, but also lighter ones.

And super crazy fight scenes between cute girls with crazy powers.

Hopefully this clarifies some things.

Ah, and to help clarify: Magical Girls are pretty hard to kill due to protections granted to them during the transformation, so the no-killing rule isn't all that hard to follow at all. Disabling them and breaking their Hex Orb is the way to go.

@VitaVitaAR

everything here is pretty much exactly what I figured tbh

@LukasVolkov Anya would make a great antagonist, and yeah while this RP isn't Madoka level of grimdark, it seems like it'll have its darker moments. As in people being ruthless even if they don't kill, and moral dilemmas coming up.

If anyone finds out what Sophia's planned wish is, for example, would they be willing to fight her and sentence her to death for their own desires?

@LuckyBlackCat

Well, the idea is that even if one character lets her through, anyone else she fights wouldn't nearly be so sympathetic and she'd need to fight to prove her worth no matter what. Therefor, it's still in your best interest to go all-out, because if she can't fight for that wish, she's not going to get it.

Or at least that's the excuse I'm going to be using when the issue comes up

Christmas came early.

@Burger

Very early, honestly.

@Ammokkx

Its sorta great. Grim as all hell! Kinda based my character off the lore of that world. Oh well, this can still be hella fun. Would you like ot be the first to take Anya up on her offer for battle?

@LukasVolkov

I'd rather avoid fighting straight away, tbh. I'm not really looking for Nico to win it, but I'd still rather not go out in the first fight bc of someone who's way more brutal than her, lmao

@Ammokkx

Thought this was inspired by that really grim magical girls anime. Feels like it. My bad if that's not the case.

@LukasVolkov

you mean madoka? That's the one the GM specifically told me to avoid when doing my research, lol.

I mean, I wound up watching it anyway and finding it a 10/10 anime, but still.

Mahou Shoujo no Hex Night: A Magical Girl Battle RP

Considering the world this is pulled from, magical girls killing each other seems par for the course. Considering how utterly grim the actual source material can get (and people it gets damned grim), I could see bloody battle royal being right at home.

@LukasVolkov

what world is this pulled from

what source material are you talking about

this is an original RP inspired by several media, lmao

@AmmokkxI'll probably reply after work. Himeko will probably recognise Nico's face, but hiw familiar do you want them to be?

@RolePlayerRoxas

Not too familiar. Nico would have visited the shrine a few times already, so they'd know each other's names, but I don't think they'd have talked particularly much. 's why I had her address Himeko by her last name.

Mahou Shoujo no Hex Night: A Magical Girl Battle RP

@RolePlayerRoxas gave me the in I needed, so all's well that ends well.

EDIT: for the record, I didn't really want Nico to be in the chat room like everyone else seems to, because she both isn't the type for it, as well as me not really wanting her to know any other magical girls before the tournament.

EDIT2: And with 'not knowing another magical girl' I don't mean not knowing the person, just not knowing they're a magical girl if that makes any sense.
