Twisted Light - A Dystopic Magical Girl RP

Hmm, Maria would have really benefitted from a guaranteed means of contact with the other factions, though I admit that would have made her goals too easy to accomplish. Still, it's better than having no means whatsoever. Good news about the magic use though, Maria loves her wheelchair.

Twisted Light - A Dystopic Magical Girl RP

I've been thinking of a few questions I'd like to ask, mainly based on what's happened in PMMM:

-Can Magical Girls communicate telepathically between each other once they have met?
-Can Magical Girls summon an Incubator?
-Can they serve as messengers between Magical Girls?
-Can Magical Girls use magic while not transformed, even if just a fraction of it?

Maria won't abuse her precious maid; on the contrary, if anyone even looks at Fantine the wrong way they will be thrown out the window. Maria's HQ will most likely be a mansion with the perimeter consisting of high walls and guards at every corner-tower.

Edit: Depending on if you're going to RP Fantine as a separate character, I might actually make some changes to Maria's characterization and make her a bit more sympathetic, with more of an emphasis on her trust issues and fear of being inferior rather than the sadistic and cruel focus she currently has, since I didn't think she'd have a meaningful relationship where she could develop in the RP. In Tvtropes terms, Fantine could serve the role of a Morality Pet to Maria.

To Maria, something that still has use for her is not expendable, which means as long as she thinks Eponine and Fantine are loyal to her she won't think of them as being expendable. That is, unless her paranoia starts acting up, depending on the circumstances.

This fits Maria very well, since she would be the type to have a strong right-hand man (girl?) at her side in classic mastermind fashion. With your permission, Fantine could also serve as a personal servant to Maria. She loves to be treated like a princess, and makes sure anyone who fills that role for her is kept safe and happy. This could also serve as a source of future tension depending on how Maria and Eponine continue with their relationship.

@Flamelord

Thanks for accepting. I left whether or not Eponine is Maria's subordinate somewhat open-ended since @Ariamis didn't get back to me on that. No rush though.

@Stern Algorithm

Oh, I'm down with that if you want to.

Twisted Light - A Dystopic Magical Girl RP

So long as the Grief Seed tax is paid, there's generally little issue unless there are obvious signs of scheming and treason.

@Flamelord

Why, we're all nice and peace-loving magical girls here, nothing like that could possibly happen...

Maria Goethe

Name: Maria Goethe

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Appearance:
Maria uses a wheelchair to feign the appearance of a paraplegic. She uses her magic to move the wheelchair around.

Personality: Maria casts an outward appearance of a cheery, kind girl, always smiling while talking in a bubbly voice. However, beneath this social mask lies a mind broken by years of abuse into a dark and ruthless girl, her empathy withered away and her trust in other people hard to come by, devolving into paranoia when she is stressed. She has a fear of inferiority, and combats this by being driven by her lust for power, her ambition being her escape from the creeping despair that silently clutches her heart.
While she keeps a sociable appearance about herself, in truth she doesn't have a lot of friends, and keeps her relationships with other people strictly as business.
However, she has started to grow fond of her maid Fantine, and won't tolerate any cases of her mistreatment.

Bio: Maria was thrown into an orphanage before she could even remember the faces of her parents, who died shortly after her birth. She was brutally beaten and abused at a regular pace by the personnel there. However, before she was driven to an abyss of despair, she met a boy by the name of Klaus there, who promised to protect her and get them out of the orphanage. In time, she developed feelings for the boy.
One night they attempted an escape, but were about to be caught when Maria met an Incubator. Seeing that Klaus was caught, she made her wish and the two of them escaped successfully.
Later, Klaus was caught by an anti-MG mob and tortured to death due to his connections to Magical Girls after following Maria. Maria found out about this, and became determined to rule the world and take revenge on the people who took Klaus away from him, by any means possible.
Over the following years, Maria managed to worm her way to the position of a lieutenant in the Aurora City Authority through her persuasion skills, guile and political maneuvers, even resorting to underhanded tactics such as backstabbing and using torture to squeeze valuable secrets out of any hapless victim she managed to capture alive. Of course, she doesn't plan on stopping there, either...

Her domain includes the territory of a magical girl named Eponine, who has requested her home to be placed under Maria's, and by extension, Aurora's protection and rule and that her sister is given a place of refuge in Maria's HQ. In return, Maria demanded Eponine to swear fealty to her, and that Fantine will serve as her personal maid.

Allegiance: Aurora City Authority

Theme: A Stranger I Remain

Skills: Maria could be said to have a silver tongue, for she is very convincing and manipulative with her words, sprouting seeds of doubt and despair in any heart she can pierce with her angelic voice. She also has a profound knowledge of politics and tactics, and specializes in psychological warfare.

Weapons: Maria keeps a small dagger under her dress as a paranoid measure, though due to her status as a Magical Girl, rarely uses it.

Other: Maria loves sweet things such as cakes and cookies, and spends a lot of her free time snacking on them.

Magical Girl Appearance:
Maria keeps her eye-design and creepy demeanour while as a Magical Girl. Her costume also has more shades of dark-green and black.

Wish: "I wish to move Klaus away from his fate."

Weapons: A scythe with an intricate, flowery design going from the hilt all the way to the blade's end. Can be manipulated to change the position of the blade, making for a surprisingly adaptive weapon despite its unwieldiness.

Powers: Telekinesis. Maria may use her magic to control the movement of any object or person in her line of sight, including herself. For example, she can fly through the air, throw and draw distant targets and even freeze people in place. However, she needs to have one of her hands unoccupied and spread open for her to cast the magic from her palm and her fingers for multitasking and subtle movements, making her unable to use this power if her hands are unusable or occupied. Breaking her focus also results in the spell's canceling.
She may also perform a Force Choke-like spell on normal humans which Magical Girls are immune to.

Personality: Maria casts an outward appearance of a cheery, kind girl, always smiling while talking in a bubbly voice. However, beneath this social mask lies a cruel, sadistic monster in human form, her empathy withered away. She is also prone to bouts of paranoia due to being betrayed multiple times in her life, and thus wastes no chance in kissing the asses of her superiors, all the while plotting their downfall behind their backs.

<Snipped quote by Ariamis>

At this point, yes, but I could be convinced otherwise. Particularly for groups like Serenity

@Flamelord

I was planning on creating a power-hungry tyrant Magical girl. Would it be possible for her to be in a position of authority in ACA or Elysium?

Twisted Light - A Dystopic Magical Girl RP

Question: Are there NPC's as leaders of the various factions?
