@Cleopatra Weird? I thought the power was actually very basic and bland compared to some of the other characters. And shape shifting was intended as a new application of the core ability of manipulating one's physical self.
But fine, I'll think of a more "Meguca" power set. I'm open to suggestions. What would be acceptable "Madoka-like" powers? Gravity control? Telekinesis? Rainbow beams? Is it enough if I shift the core ability to be shape-changing instead? There's canon examples of that like Nagisa in Rebellion, so I think that would fit in.
“Truly I am mankind's natural foe! Evil incarnate! A walking cataclysm! A shapeless insanity! The Beastmaster of DESPAIR!”
Superhero Appearance: Same as above
Personality: Yamato speaks in grand gestures and overblown histrionics, making his every word brim larger than life. He also treats even mundane people and events immensely significant and special, embellishing them and adding his own perceived reality upon them. He considers himself to be quite a ladies-man, though his disjointed perception from reality pushes away anyone he puts his moves on. Though he constantly proclaims himself to be evil and attempting to take over the world, it is a fake persona for his true nature of being kind and caring, especially to his pets whom he treasures, and animals in general due to being an animal breeder.
Equipment: A standard-issue phone and a bag of seeds for feeding his pets.
Abilities: -The Four Dark Devas of Destruction: Yamato's scarf is home to four hamsters who are Yamato's primary means of combating his enemies. They are loyal to him, and come to his aid when called upon. Yamato can use his power as Beastmaster Overlord to awaken all of their true forms, turning them into fearsome creatures of great power, until they revert back when beaten or commanded by Yamato. They include the following members:
*Cham-P: The hamster that fits inside Yamato’s scarf easily despite his large size. His awakened form is Invading Black Dragon, a mythic creature of legendary origin with strength to match it's truck-sized frame. He is able to fly using scaly wings and breathe green fire. Yamato rides on his back when he enters combat, as befits an Overlord.
*San-D: The hamster that always looks like she’s having fun. Her awakened form is Star-Destroyer Grey Fox. She is the swiftest of the four, able to run at the speed of sound despite being the size of a motorcycle, leaving only trails of white light from her glowing fangs. Yamato may ride on her for very fast travel.
*Jan-P: The hamster that’s always taking a nap in a precarious place. His awakened form is Mirage Silver Falcon, an avian predator the size of an aeroplane that soars through the skies. His glistening wings mesmerize, confuse, and can even put to sleep any weak-willed being who looks at them. His feathers can also turn light-refractive, turning him and his rider completely invisible and making him perfect for Yamato to ride on if he needs to travel undetected.
*Maga-Z: The hamster that has a torn ear that makes him look tough. His awakened form is Crimson Steel Elephant, the slowest, but also the most powerful of the Devas, able to shake the ground with walking, shake buildings with a slam of it's imposing frame, and his tusks have considerable piercing power. His trunk can also constrict and crush bones, and his metallic skin can tank a missile barrage. He is often mistaken for one of the monsters that attack the city.
-The Evil Eye: Yamato has a magical eye that allows him to see a far distance, through walls, illusion magic and trickery and hypnotize animals and make them do his bidding. Yamato can also use it to see his opponent's moves before they are done, but continuous use of the power drains him. He also can't avoid moves he physically can't dodge, such as bullets and sound-speed attacks.
-Infinity Unlimited Flame: A dangerous power Yamato only uses as a last resort or in dire circumstances: he releases the magical bindings of his sinister arm, and unleashes an ever-consuming blaze from his cursed palm. The fire replicates through oxygen alone, spreading into the air and to every surface like a wildfire from a nightmare until Yamato stops the spell, is knocked unconscious, or the world has burned to ashes. The power also eats away at Yamato's arm, consuming bits from it as long as the inferno rages on.
Skills: Yamato is the Ultimate Breeder, and thus knows all there is to know about animal breeding and handling. He always has a bag of seeds ready to use, and he can imitate animal and bird calls fluently.
Brief Backstory: Yamato is a Beastmaster, a member of a clan of animal breeders that hide themselves from society and practice the forbidden art of "Awakening", a technique that releases the unbound energy of animals and turns them into Yokai-like entities. Only the greatest Beastmasters, who are titled Overlords, can master the art and have complete control over the awakened beasts. After Yamato gained the title of Overlord he set out with his four trusted companions and use his skills to protect the natural order of the world, and stands vigilantly in watch over the city.
@VitaVitaAR I toned down the power levels of the Devas. They're also that powerful since despite being A-class Yamato himself can only dodge and track an opponent, so he's helpless if separated from his pets or something takes control of them.

@PlatinumSkink Like many other young girls, she didn't think it completely through when she made the wish. As for her currently being in Poland, she moved there with her father.
Antarctic Termite's character Kei at least has suspicions, and knows about the soul quality of the Soul Gems. As for Julia, she may or may not know, but I'll be leaning on "doesn't know" for now, since she's gonna probably get a despair penalty anyway, and I'd rather avoid adding to it before I've even started.
