I think to sell someone on an interest check, it's really important to seem enthusiastic about your own idea. That means writing more than a single sentence to attract potential players.

Bio
W I T H R I G H T E O U S H A N D S
Did you know that Dante's inferno is called a divine comedy because things work out for the protagonist? Back in the day, the only two genres were comedy and drama. The only difference was that in a comedy, the protagonist is better off at the end, and a drama is the opposite. So that's why a story about going through hell can still be considered a comedy, even if it's not funny.
Name:
Broken Promise, BP, Boss
Age:
Old enough to know better, too young to care. (that is to say 30's)
Preferred RPs:
I Prefer to make my own, but will occasionally join something if it looks interesting. I'll join just about anything so long as it isn’t overly edgy/sweet, though it's rare for me to do. I don't do 1x1s too often either.
Preferred Roles:
I tend to play adorable characters everyone wants to befriend or proper assholes everyone wants to stay away from. I try not to play moral paragons or prime evils.
RP Conquests:
I've completed quite a few RP's off site, but most of them are on private forums or have simply been lost to the ravages of server crashes. As for stuff here, I'm sure everyone who sees me post in the off topic sections has seen me find an excuse to talk about Danganronpa: Tower of Carnage. It's a project that took over 4 years to complete and I feel pride not only for myself but all the wonderful people who helped make it enjoyable during its run. Re: Zero: The High Council Is technically my first, but it was just something I kind of took over and ended up ending the story after just six months. It finished, but eh...
For some reason I can't seem to stay away from Ari's magical girl RP, even if I'm not sure why I'm still in it.
As for my own projects, I'm doing Symphony on High to continue the gigachad adventures of the espers in Pax Septimus.
RP Graveyard:
I've been pretty fortunate on this forum. I think I joined one when I first came on the site that didn't really do anything, and there are a few 1x1 things that didn't go anywhere. It's disappointing when an RP ends before it can be finished, but I've come to look at them as learning experiences.
And then there's that london magical girl RP, and that dark magical girl RP. I think I'm done joining magical girl RPs for a while.
Other interests:
Videos
I watch a lot of educational videos on youtube. Usually as research for something I’m writing or purely because a topic interests me. I like channels like Tier Zoo and Daryl Talks Games, and I’ll also watch things like Critical Drinker or Literature Devil to deepen my understanding of story telling. Though I also like memes and jokes, to which I’ll find myself watching stuff like Sseth, but usually find myself surfing through meme videos. I gotta work on that.
Games
I have a rather long history of playing virtually every platformer to come into existence during the indie boom, as well as quite a few other indie games. I’ve played Meatboy, Binding of Issac, Gunvolt, Cuphead, Princess Remedy in a World of Hurt, Classic Metroid, Warcraft 3, Final Fantasy 7,8, and 14, Left 4 Dead, Shantae, Celeste, Danganronpa, God Eater, the list goes on. What I’ve played is kind of all over the place. I don’t play many games these days, I tend to pick things that look interesting and go on a decent steam sale.
Painting Minis
I do this in moderation. Otherwise, it's a pretty expensive hobby to start...
Music
I listen to everything, save most country/rap songs. I have too many favorites to name.
Personality:
Not one to take life or the internet too seriously. Is only serious about writing well and having a good time.
Awakened:0 Mind [10] Body [30] | Spirit [60] Facsimile: N/A
Identity:
Ayana isn’t amongst the tallest individuals, standing at 5’4. However, this has never slowed her down in the past. She doesn’t put much thought into the limitations of her size and stature and will still attempt things better suited for those much taller or much stronger than herself. She is always willing to help and do the most that she can whenever someone else needs help. Even if they need help with something she is totally unfamiliar with, she isn’t likely to back down from the challenge, even if it is completely impossible for her.
Ayana is often well known for all the wrong reasons, though she is good at heart and always intends to do the right thing. Her help usually ends in chaos and more trouble than what it is worth. She is typically outgoing and not shy about meeting new people or trying to make new friends. The biggest issue however is retaining those new friends. As people that often hang out with her end up dragged into her many misfortunes and accidents. Most see her as a walking disaster waiting to happen. Even so, she doesn’t feel any kind of loneliness or sadness, instead it is replaced with a determination to find new friends that drives her.
What makes matters worse is that she seems to feel much fear before doing something. She often doesn’t fully think things through and goes through with it with bold determination. Some may say she is not the brightest because of this fearless tendency. However, when she does give time to think about things or she is going about usual business, her intelligence is just fine. Regardless, she is still prone to moments of throwing herself at something with thoughtless abandon.
She comes from a rather humble and small family that has its own restaurant. She often growing up would help her family running it, until eventually her parents learned it was often better to keep her out of the restaurant if they wanted to keep it up and running. Even so, she has a good relationship with her parents and still tries to do what she can to help them out in her free time.
However, when she becomes Oros The Clumsy, her personality shifts. Becoming more outgoing and intense. Wishing to spread her message to all those around her and to help them see the truth. Wishing to glimpse into their futures in an attempt to open their eyes. Feeling like she has been blessed and honored to be their guide. She struggles to help them come to terms with the truth, to bring out acceptance, to help guide them down the right path to be worthy. This side of her personality she hid away, finding that it often drove others away from her ultimate goal of making friends. Even while within her true original self, her clumsiness persists and it remains a core part of her identity.
Peculiarity:
Ayana’s peculiarity is her inhuman ability for clumsiness and the destruction that often follows her because of this clumsiness. Despite her unusual level of bad luck, she often comes out of her clumsy accidents rather unharmed. Some like to say it is a result of her body being toughened up and hardened by years of various accidents and misfortunes that have befell her. Others say it is just sheer dumb luck. Regardless others will steer well clear of her as those around Ayana usually end up being dragged into whatever mess that she starts. This has caused her some troubles in the past as she finds it hard to retain friends as often it only takes one or two times of being mixed up in the chaos that is Ayana to make them think twice about having a friendship with her. She wields a black rock, glistening like a empty void into a black hole, which she has named Endless Eclipse. Having been bestowed the title of Oros The Clumsy from birth, she hid away this title and all that came with it. Attempting to live a different life in hopes of changing the course of her destiny. However, Oros The Clumsy she shall remain, her destiny and her true self unavoidable. Whether a figment of her own imagination, or the truth, it remains to be seen.
”Oros the Joyful doesn't...sound like a headache.”
”Sounds like you're expecting one.”
”Of course.”
"Oh hey everyone! Is this a party? Because if it's a party I can get some beer and smokes for us!"
”It's uh, not.”
"Woops! haha! You know with all this equipment I thought it was to power up some rave lights. I can get you some beer and smokes anyway though, right?"
”I, erm, I apriciate the offer, but I'm not one to drink or smoke.”
"Then how about a hug? Could I give you a hug?"
”A gentle one?”
"Yea, just tight enough that you feel like you're being swaddled by your mother. You know, if you had a mom that didn't suck."
”Well, that doesn't sound bad.”
”Binky! Don't let her touch you!”
”Knew this, was gunna, happen.”
• Appearance:
• Name: Oyama, Suki “Trixy”
• Title: Oros the Joyful, formerly Nurse Joy
• Age: That age where kissing any of the other characters isn’t considered gross.
• Emblem: A gothic heart tattoo located just a few inches under her belly button, right over her intestines.
• Devil Arm: Formerly, Suki’s sweet arm was a set of heart shaped IV bags that she could control with her mind. Now she wears a bleeding hair pin. Her hands, legs, and dress are always soaked in blood, effectively making them magical weapons. She rarely fights with her pin directly, but can form the blood into other things like claws, blades, and tendrils. Effective range is just a bit longer than the length of her arms, while her tendrils can reach a meter or so further. The more wounded she is, the more numerous her attacks become.
• Magic: When Suki was a pure magical girl, her magic was based around love. Now it’s based around lust. Instead of enabling her allies as a nurse, she disables her enemies as a vampire or succubus. Though most just take to calling her a blood witch.
Anything she touches is slowly overcome by a “geas” that makes them charmed by her presence. The geas can be resisted for a time, but if Suki holds on long enough, even the most resilient magical girl will fall to her charms. She also has vitality sapping kisses, and kissing someone on the lips or neck greatly accelerates the geas, provided they have those features. Once she lets go of someone, the geas fades and her charms slowly wear off.
Miseria react strangely to Suki's lust magic. It confuses them rather than charms them, and her kisses can cause a backlash that charges up nearby monsters.
• Background:
Some girls should have never been magical to begin with.
Suki was not born into a stable family. Her father was a detective that was never home. When he was around, her parents used that time to argue with one another. It was no secret that her father wasn’t faithful, but they stayed together. Mr. Oyama didn’t want to split his assets with his wife, and Mrs Oyama couldn’t support herself without his lucrative job. This made Suki an undesirable symbol of their unhappy union. Her mother did the bare minimum she needed to keep Suki alive, and otherwise let her fend for herself. This made Suki a very needy girl.
Her parents failed to provide her with any self worth, so she tried to find validation in others. Her desperate behavior was a red flag to most, except to those that weren’t above using her. She fell in with the wrong crowd and became a delinquent. Her parents would scold her, but at least she was getting their attention. She would dye her hair, get piercings, and get into whatever trouble she could. She smoked her first cigarette when she was 11 and had her first beer when she was 13. But the other delinquents didn’t stick around forever. Most of them wised up and started taking school seriously, leaving Suki alone again. She still liked the negative attention she was getting from her parents, and pressed on alone.
Suki would get a reprieve from her mystery when she was greeted by a mascot. Naturally, she wished to be loved. The mascot already had a few magical girls under its wing, and they treated her with respect. What followed were the best years of her life. She was part of a team and was making a change for good. She saved people, even her friends sometimes. They helped her break her alcohol and nicotine addiction. They played arcade games and had sleepovers in place of causing property damage and petty theft.
But Suki wasn’t going to be a girl forever. She was turning into a woman, and her emotional needs were evolving. It wasn’t enough to be loved by a group of friends. They all had boyfriends (or girlfriends) and Suki didn’t want to be left out. She wanted to feel romantic love. The kind of love Suki had never known. She had seen how cruel the real world could be, and knew she had to pick someone from her group.
Suki set her eyes on Lada. She was a foreign transfer student, and a relatively new addition to their group of magical girls. She was kind, confident, and easy on the eyes. A real foreign beauty. When everyone talked about relationships, Lada was silent. Suki talked to the other magical girls and they were all pretty sure she was still available. Suki set out to have Lada join her on a surprise date. She was going to take Lada to a concert and then return to their hangout to ask about their relationship. She spent months saving her money for those tickets. Her other fellow magical girls were in on it, but she insisted on getting the money for the tickets herself.
Lada was surprised that Suki wanted to go to the concert, but it wasn’t hard to convince her to come along. They had a great time, and it seemed like it was all going well. But when Suki asked Lada about being her girlfriend, Lada laughed. She swiftly apologized, then informed Suki she wasn’t into girls. That was devastating on its own, but what was worse was that this all happened in front of her friends, who were hiding around the hangout. Once Lada left for the night, they all came out to cheer her up. But as kind as their words were, they couldn’t cease their snickering. She was just a joke to them.
They had never really been friends..
The following day she relapsed into her old habits as she let her despair fester. It only took a day for her dark emotions to corrupt her, and Nurse Joy became a blood witch: someone that didn’t need to receive love. She could make people love her. With Suki’s new powers, she immediately conspired to get that kiss Lada had denied her. It didn’t take a lot of stalking to find out where she was and jump her. Suki wasn’t good at stealth though, and the ensuing fight was messy. But in the end, Suki got what she wanted.
It didn’t take long for her friends to find out what happened. Suki fled to Hibusa Town where she suspected she would never be discovered, and joined the delinquent club after trying to seduce one of their members.
• Sample Post:
It felt like everything that happened in Suki’s life led up to this moment.
Lada’s room was a mess, but that was bound to happen when two magical girls fought in a small space. The bed had been overturned, the closet doors laid on the floor, and Lada’s dressers were reduced to wood and fabric, scattered to the four winds. In the center of the room sat the victor with their prize.
Lada’s sword had cut Suki deep. The wound ran from the center of her chest down to her right hip. It was a grievous wound, and she wouldn’t had survived it if she wasn’t a magical girl. Lada, comparatively, had no wounds to speak of. But Suki didn’t need to wound her prey to win a fight. She was sitting on Lada’s stomach, with a pair of tendrils reaching out of her wound to pin the girl’s arms over her head. Lada could kick her legs, twist her arms, but she wasn’t getting free. Suki’s hands closed around her face.
”That was a nice fight!” Suki’s voice was sickeningly sweet, but her body lacked any kind of malice. She used her thumbs to follow the curvature of Lada’s cheek bones, then the bridge of her nose. She dragged her index finger down the center of her face, riding over her lips. ”Such beautiful contours, just like the wound you gave me!”
”Don’t.” Was all Lada could manage. Her breathing was becoming ragged. The geas was taking its toll on her mind, but she resisted. That wouldn’t last for long.
”Oh Lada! I couldn’t bring myself to hurt something so pretty! But we’re wasting time, and the anticipation is killing us.” Suki giggled. ”I know your first time is a little scary, but it’s my first time too! So just relax and let it happen.”
Suki closed her eyes and closed the breach between their faces. Lada’s eyes went wide, but if she could have escaped she would have done so already. She opened her mouth to make one last plea, but Suki plunged her tongue inside. Her eyes dilated and her back arched, only for Lada’s eyes to flutter shut. Her entire body relaxed as Suki probed every inch of her mouth. The tendrils released her arms, and she wrapped them around Suki.
Suki pulled her head back with a gasp. ”Oh sweetheart, that was magical!” She wiggled on top of Lada’s stomach. ”Your skin makes me want to cry! You glow like a goddess! You taste like a strawberry! Well, maybe a little more subdued than a strawberry, but-” Suki kissed Lada’s cheek. ”See? You shouldn’t have said no! We could have been having all this fun yesterday!”
”I-” Suki wouldn’t stop laying kisses along Lada’s neck and shoulder. ”I’m sorry, I didn’t, know it, would feel like, this.” Her eyes were half closed. ”But, I’m glad, you-”
Suki placed her finger over Lada’s lips. ”I forgive you. The important part is you came around!” Suki leaned in to give Lada one more kiss, only to notice she fell unconscious in her arms. ”What? We didn’t even get to the spicy part yet!”
But their alone time would be interrupted. The other five members of Suki’s magical girl team piled into the room. They already had their weapons drawn and were ready to fight.
Suki shrugged. ”Yea, she decided to take a nap. I think-”
Penny, the leader of the unit, closed the distance with a swift punch. Powerful enough on its own, more so when you considered the cyborg girl’s fist was powered by its own afterburner. Suki careened into the adjacent wall, and Penny caught Lada in her arms.
”She’s secure!”
Suki didn’t even have time to stand back up before the other four girls stood in front of them. She placed her hand on the window sill to stabilize herself. ”Good evening!”
Penny stepped between the other magical girls and looked at Suki. ”You’ve got ten seconds to tell us what you did to her.”
”Well.” Suki struggled to stand upright. ”I kissed her? A lot? But it kind of tuckered her out? I’m a little new to these powers, so I might have gone overboard. I think she’ll be fine with some rest!” The newly arrived wouldn't notice it, but Suki's wound from earlier had completely healed.
”Not what I meant, but I’m glad that’s the case.” Penny raised her fist and leveled it with Suki’s head. ”Answer this next question very carefully. Were you involved with Nurse Joy’s disappearance?”
Suki tapped her chin. ”Only that we’re the same person.”
Penny’s body tensed up as her allies gave each other confused glances. ”You’re her? Prove it!”
”Let’s see…” Suki looked over her former team. ”Lily’s favorite animal is a wolf, and she still sleeps with stuffed animals. Her boyfriend Alexander got her a plush wolf about a month ago and she wouldn’t shut up about it. Maura likes flowers, but is too shy to tell anyone because she thinks it will ruin her tough girl persona. Samantha wet the bed about a week ago, but she swore me to secrecy. Sorry girl, you understand right? Then there’s-”
”Why?” Penny’s fist was shaking. ”Why did you do this to yourself?”
”I did this?” The corners of Suki’s lips twitched. ”The only reason why I signed up to this outfit was so that I could be around people who loved me. Come on, Penny! You were my friends! I healed you, I helped you out, we did so much stuff together! don’t expect you to get it. Everyone loves you, but me? I can’t get my parents to look at me unless I do something bad. I took Lada to see a concert and the first thing she does is blow me off when we get back. You all laughed at me. A-and I get it, it was sort of funny!” She sniffed, but shed no tears. ”But you’re no different than my parents. You ignore everything I tried to do for you, but the screw ups? The mistakes? the bad behavior? Ohhhh, that’s gotta get corrected right quick! No one’s gunna make you look bad!”
Penny pursed her lips. ”I see.” She closed her eyes. ”Nurse Joy is dead.” When her eyes opened, they were glowing neon blue, and every afterburner on her body fired up. ”The least I can do is avenge her.”
”Oh, uh...” Suki touched the tips of her fingers together. ”Can I have a do over or-”
The speed in which Penny moved could be compared to teleportation. Her metal frame slammed into Suki with enough force to launch her out the window. The shattered glass haloed the blood witch’s form as she was thrown into the darkness. They never found her body, but she was never seen in town again.
”A shame she was brought here drunk. It shouldn't interfere with the scan though. ”
”It might be a good thing that we can't talk to her.”
”Wimp.”
”Says, you!”
The Mundane
Name: Bianchi, Amber
Age: 44
Regular Appearance:
Like any proper Italian, Amber has a fantastic dress sense. Unlike a proper Italian, the way she dresses just barely conforms to school guidelines. She’ll wear a sweater with a low neckline, only to wear a tank underneath to hide her cleavage (as to not “spill” while bowing towards students.) Sometimes she dips more into business casual than formal, and how good her hair is depends on what time of day you check in on her. She looks pretty good in the morning, with her hair becoming all bent and frizzled by the evening.
Subject: Home Economics
Personality: Amber is gruff. She is no student’s favorite teacher as she lacks the bubbly, jovial nature most of the Japanese teachers have. She takes her class seriously and expects her students to do the same. That’s not to say that her classes aren’t well taught. They are made to be as engaging as possible. But Amber knows none of the children will remember her a year from now, and she probably won’t remember them either. She’s just here to give them the skills they need to survive out in the world.
Japanese people tend to view westerners as a little rowdy, and that’s not incorrect for Amber. She’s very hard on delinquents and bullies, and god help you if the student you just gave a wedgie to informs Amber about it. Best case scenario she yells at you. Worst case scenario she does nothing, only to show up at your home while you’re eating dinner to tell your parents how shameful your behavior is. She used to take things a bit further in the past, but no longer does as it gets her in trouble with the principle.
Amber doesn’t go out of her way to get to know the other teachers very well. She’ll greet them in the morning and show up to meetings, but is content to stay out of their lives. She’s a busy body that always has somewhere to be and can only allow so much time on any given interaction. Most who know her regard her as a hard worker that could stand to be a little more polite.
Bio: Amber was born in Italy, but her parents moved to the states while she was quite young. Mr Bianchi was quite the engineer and specialized in the kind of plastic manufacturing plants that were being built in Texas at the time. He did a lot of traveling, but his lucrative job easily supported his family. So well that Mrs Bianchi could spend her days raising their children. They never entered public school as Mrs Bianchi wanted to teach them all herself. She got a hold of all the textbooks and all of her children did very well. The only issue with homeschooling was that none of them had a high school diploma to show their efforts. Once they were of age, they needed to find entry level jobs to get experience and support themselves. College was getting expensive, and Mr Bianchi couldn’t put all three of his children through college. Amber begrudgingly took on a job working retail at a bargain clothes outlet.
That was where she encountered Jomei, her future husband. The boy had taken a shining to Amber, and it wasn’t hard to see why. She was a blond bombshell with a chipper personality. Jomei was a mysterious foreign stud who could speak English better than some of the locals. He was brash and unashamed. The second time he met Amber he asked her out on a date. When she said she was working, he proceeded to stick around the store, occasionally buying things to appear as a normal customer. He even got some Chinese takeout that they ate together during her lunch hour. He was rebellious, and she felt liberated being around him. But he was only in America because of his student visa, and planned to return to Japan someday soon. Amber could keep on working this dead end job, or she could go on an adventure with Jomei. Visit strange new lands, experience cultures, all with a boy that loved her. Amber was 18 when she moved to Japan, and got married in the same year. She gave birth to her first child not even a year later. She was so happy she decided to get out of America.
But it wasn’t meant to last.
Jomei grossly overestimated his ability to sustain a family, and it wasn’t like Amber could bring in the cash as a retail worker. The financial pressure put a lot of strain on their relationship, but Amber refused to get a divorce. Unfortunately for her, it’s not difficult for a Japanese native to file for divorce without their foreign spouse’s consent. She lost custody of her two boys, had no place to live, and had no way to support herself. She was only allowed to live and work in japan because she was married to Jomei. She did not know if she was going to have enough money to buy a flight out of Japan, let alone pay child support. But Amber was too proud to return to her family for help, and too stubborn to let herself get kicked out of Japan.
As it turned out, all of those skills her mother had taught her so long ago made her perfectly suitable for teaching Home Economics and doing odd jobs. Not only that, but there were a lot of things she didn’t have to pay people for because she could do them herself. She was even able to get her marriage visa turned into a work visa so that she could do all of this legally. But it was a lot of work, and she didn’t have much time for leisure or relationships. After a few decades, the bubbly young girl turned into a bitter middle-aged woman. Her dreams of going on an adventure or finding love died with the young woman she used to be.
Other:
Amber is distrustful of most Japanese natives, but reveres the principle. They helped her out when she was at her weakest.
Some of her odd jobs involve patching clothes, working in soup kitchens, and running street stalls.
Amber hasn’t spoken with her family since she was 18.
Likes having her nose booped, but will still retaliate to keep up appearances.
She might be romanceable, but I discourage it.
The Magical
Transformed Appearance:
Her magical form makes her appear a bit younger. Only a bit.
Weapon: Masterwork Great-Bag-of-Infinite-Holding +5 - A giant, durable backpack that’s larger than the tiny adventurer carrying it. It’s heavy and durable enough that it can be used to block attacks. It also comes with various cooking instruments that can double as more practical weapons such as a ladle, frying pan, a mixing spoon, and several small utensils. But Amber’s favorite weapon to use is the pantaku, which is a pair of frying pans bound together with a chain. She can only use it properly when she isn’t wearing her backpack. Alternatively, she can use some vegetables as ranged weapons, like carrots and turnips.
Magic:
Hammerspace - Amber can reach into her bag of holding and draw any mundane item she can think of. The only limit is that it has to be something she’s come in contact with at least once and can’t be larger than her bag.
Mend - Amber’s magic sewing bag lets her use her sewing needle and thread to fix anything. That includes non-cloth items like steel and glass.
Alchemic Genius - Amber can quickly brew potions of Strength, Speed, and Durability. But a recipient of a potion may only be under the effect of a single buff at any one time. She can also brew more harmful things such as potions of alchemic fire, poison, and fog. Her star ladle can be used to lob these potions great distances.
Adventure Financing - Amber can pull golden coins out of her bag of holding and throw them. Minions of the shroud seem to be attracted to them, and are more likely to attack magical girls that are holding them.
Other: Amber goes by the title “Oros the Shrewd” when she’s in her magical girl form, and tends to be far more optimistic. Like a brave adventurer facing the dangers of a dungeon. Her magical girl form looks unusual because she brewed a “potion of lemur” when she first awakened her powers. The potion gave her a youthful appearance, but some unusual animal traits. Her nose can also be safely booped in this form.

Oriko doesn't go out of her way to draw a lot of attention to herself. While she’ll wear flashy kimonos for her videos and fight appearances, she dresses far more casually in most situations. A baseball cap, vest, striped shirt, and jeans are her go-to items for just being out and about. Being that she’s only five feet tall, that baseball cap prevents most people from making eye contact with her. Unless they’re persistent.
Regardless of how she dresses, she always has highlights. She’s always rocking a ponytail, but the stripe of color going through her hair can be any color and shape. Sometimes she has a purple corkscrew pattern that makes it look like her ponytail is twisted up, or maybe she’ll have a red racing stripe that goes from her forehead to the tip of her tail.
PERSONALITY TRAITS
"I don’t drink, but after meeting you I might start." ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
For the most part, Oriko is the dictionary definition of the word stoic. There are no inflections in her voice, and it's rare for the corners of her lips to be doing anything. You need to pay close attention to her eyebrows and hands to get any indication of how she’s feeling. Or pay close attention to her words. She will occasionally joke or give backhanded compliments with a deadpan expression.
That’s not to say Oriko is a robot. Every once in a while something will pique her interest and even her cool exterior won’t hold once that happens. Her interests tend to be kind of childish and she gets excited about things like phone cases that feature her favorite mascots or whatever new device “Insert triple A company here” is pushing.
Oriko also doesn’t like nomads as a general rule, but there are some she likes way less than others. Maybe she doesn’t like the extra competition or their eccentric personalities rub her the wrong way. Only the shadow knows.
She also leads a bit of a double life. “Oros the Swift” tends to be a bit more outgoing and friendly when she’s singing or interacting with the populace, though even she doesn’t look at nomads favorably.
BACKSTORY
"You strike me as a Jaden fan, as he too is loud and incapable of shutting up." ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
Oriko spent her early life as what most people would call a NEET, or a Hikikomori.. She was hardly the only youth in Japan that felt crushed under her parents' expectations for her. Not only that, but society was starting to demand more from its youth, and earlier on in life. But with a strong internet connection and her parents' willingness to assist her lifestyle, she had little reason to leave the house, much less her room. She spent her days watching videos on the internet and reading articles. If this was an uncommon occurrence, her parents might have done something. But with a child like Oriko on nearly every street in the country, what could be done?
But her attachment to her computer would eventually lead to a promising development. Something she really enjoyed listening to were mix tracks made with software like fruity studio. She started top spend less time watching videos and more time making them. Her subscriber pool was small, but she got feedback on everything she put up. As her music got better, her subscriber count grew, and she had a better outlook on the world.
But making frequent uploads was only going to get Oriko so far. She noticed the biggest surge of subscriptions came in when she changed things that weren;t related to her music. Her songs use to play while a loop of a fractal image played in the background, but she had started dressing up and appearing on video, which pushed her subscriptions from five thousand to twenty thousand in a single week. She made up an alternate identity and appeared as “Oros the Swift,” who was a magical girl ninja that sang along to her EDM music. Other teens in her neighborhood would join in as other characters, and Oros would go through arcs that were explored in song. Her parents no longer had to fund her lifestyle, as she was buying her own food, renting an apartment, and paying her help with what she made from her uploads. It didn’t hurt that her songs could also be downloaded from various stores, which helped her bottom line further.
It was good, and Oriko probably would have gone on to be a successful yet unremarkable EDM artist if she stuck with it. But someone had to compare her to Jaden.
Oriko didn’t really care about what some weeaboo rapper did, but he was the real deal. At the end of the day, Oros the swift was just Oriko in some makeup and a kimono. But Jaden was a real ninja. Her followers were loyal, but Jaden’s fans could post videos of several incidents where Jayden had been attacked by ninjas and managed to defend himself. It was stupid, petty internet drama where people were comparing apples to oranges.
And Oriko took that personally.
She sought out Sensei Hirokazu to begin her training. While the old bastard wasn’t known for his generosity, he was able to cut her a better deal than he had for Jaden. Only because Oriko was more polite compared to his last pupil and wasn’t an American. That didn’t mean it was cheap, as Oriko had to auction off some of her older props to cover the cost of her training. But she went through all the bullshit meditation and eventually had some ninja moves to call her own.
But Oros the swift was more than a ninja, she was a magical girl. That meant that she would need magical artifacts. But after last time, Sensei Hirokazu had been pretty mute regarding magical artifacts, requiring Oriko to procure her own. Artifacts like Murakumo were few in number, and who really wanted something that could take over their own will anyway? It seemed like the real big brain strategy was just to collect a lot of smaller, weaker artifacts that nobody wanted. But there was still the question of how to actually get them.
After watching some videos of “magical girl/boy accidents” online, the answer revealed itself. It seemed that most people who got their hands on weaker magical artifacts made the assumption that they were going to turn into nomads overnight, when in truth they were the same impulsive, weak people they were before. They just had some magical powers now. Naturally, that wasn’t the type of person who survived a confrontation with a kaiju, sea monster, or whatever was attacking Japan that second. She just had to be observant and show up after a few of these idiots got themselves killed.
It worked like a charm.
She still makes EDM tracks, but instead of songs exploring the fictional tale of Oros the Swift, they serve as mood music for viewing her very real exploits as a magical girl monster slayer.
The power stone has little use to Oriko. Anything that powerful has to be exaggerated or have one hell of a curse that she wouldn’t want to tangle with. But in winning, she’ll have proved once and for all that Oros the Swift could not only kick Jaden’s ass, but the ass of every other nomad that attended the competition.

As some who studied under the same master as Jaden, creates music, and makes use of magical artifacts, it would not be incorrect to say that they have a similar kit. Running on walls, jumping off walls, and attacking hard and fast is all part of what Oriko can do. But their different backgrounds, music choices, and artifacts lead to two vastly different fighters. Jaden’s strength and longer limbs give him a physical advantage, While Oriko’s stronger focus and numerous artifacts makes her more reliant on her mystical abilities.
For her bread and butter abilities, she relies primarily on a nameless magical katana, her scroll of hammerspace, and the ability to transplace. The scroll of hammerspace is able to store items in an infinitely vast space that she can call to her hands or a portal during a fight. Her nameless katana is her daily driver for all of her sword slashing needs. She prefers to slash from her scabbard, and also learned how to create collapsing vacuums by cutting through the air itself. The blade’s reach is much further than the blade itself. Beyond that she has a stock of smoke bombs, vinyl disks, and her DJing equipment like her mix pad. She can imbue these items with her ki which gives them effective weapons against other nomads.
Among her trove of more magical and dangerous items she has a scroll that contains over a hundred different beasts, a divining sword called Endless Eclipse, and a mask with a deadly curse.
Oriko can switch between her normal form and Oros the Swift. This changes her outfit, arms her with all of her artifacts, and puts her under an identification protection spell. The identification protection spell makes it impossible for people to look at Oros the Swift and think she looks anything like Oriko, despite being the same person. The only way she can be exposed is when it’s the only logical explanation. IE: She transforms in front of someone or Oros walks out of an area that only Oriko was in.
■ Transplace
With some focus, Oriko can snap her fingers and swap places with her opponent. She can also swap places with any item that came from her Scroll of Hammerspace. Swapping with items is near instant while opponents take a bit longer. It has to do with the weight of what she’s trying to transplace, and is exhausting if done too frequently.
■ Scroll of Hammerspace - Store
Oriko can place her hand on an object and have it placed inside her hammerspace for later use. She can only absorb items this way if she can hold them in at least two hands, the item isn’t bolted down/ tied up/ held by or attached to someone else, and can’t be attuned to someone else’s ki like most nomad gear. The exception to these limitations are Oriko’s own ki infused gear.
■ Scroll of Hammerspace - Recall
Oriko waves her hand and conjures a small portal that launches a ki charged vinyl disk from her hammerspace. The longer she conjures, the higher the velocity of the item. Alternatively, she can fire any other item she’s used Scroll of Hammerspace - Store on.
■ Smoke Bomb, Bitch!
Oriko throws a smoke bomb at her feet that briefly obscures her position and can cause opponents that are too close to choke on the fumes.
■ Dive Kick
Oriko can perform a high speed dive into the air before throwing a kick, which can change her trajectory in a way that baffles scientists.
■ Scroll of Hammerspace - Home Run
Oriko gives herself a baseball cap and a bat to swing at her opponent. Works well as an anti-air or to start a juggle.
■ Boing Boing
It’s just wall bounce, I won’t lie.
■ Hentai Haven
Oriko performs a lunging grapple where she locks her thighs around her opponents head and, using her ninja training, summersaults backwards to slam her opponent’s head into the ground.
■ Wall Dash
Like Wallrun, but the name has a space now.
■ Drop The Bass
Oriko pulls out her mix pad and drops the bass so hard that her opponent (and hammerspace’d items) briefly feel an intense amount of gravity. Most nomads standing on the ground can resist the effect, but airborne ones will fall to the ground, and if they’re being juggled, they’ll slam into the ground with enough force to bounce into the air again.
■ Flash Blade
Oriko draws her sword with such speed that it can create a collapsing vacuum a predetermined distance away. It has a bass boosted sound effect so you know it hurts.
■ Chill Beats to Relax and Study to
Oriko pulls out her mix pad and plays a short loop. If she finishes, her attacks get extra lofi girl (cold) damage for a time.
SUPER MOVES

■ Scroll of Beasts - Eviscerate
Oriko opens the Scroll of Beasts and attempts to wrap it around her opponent. If successful, they will be briefly trapped inside the scroll with several angry tigers, monkeys, goats, dragons, roosters, and other zodiac animals.
■ Flash Blade EX
Oriko dashes away, and the aria fills with collapsing vacuums as she draws her sword over and over again. As cool as bass boosted sound effects are you’ll want to lower your volume for this one.
■ Endless Eclipse - Divinate
Oriko draws her black sword and peers into its future seeing blade. If an attack comes her way, not only is she able to dodge it, but she can follow up with a decisive thrust from her sword. Endless Eclipse cannot be out of its shieth too long, less it drain all of Oriko’s magic.
■ Mask of the Wicked Concubine - Warpgasm
Oriko nudges her kitsune mask over her face and allows its horrific magic to take over her body. She hulks out as her body is constantly changed and stretched by the magic coursing through her body. She has all of her old moves, only now her limbs are both twice as long and capable of contorting and stretching in unnatural ways. Greatly increased strength and defense, but after ten seconds the mask starts to eat through her remaining vitality if she doesn’t remove it. Oriko also screams the entire time she’s wearing it.

Oriko is a glass cannon. She can dish it out from nearly every range, but as soon as the fight comes to her, it’s time to start sweating. Nomad or not, there’s only so much punishment a diminutive girl can take before deciding it’s time to fall unconscious. Mask of the Wicked Concubine - Warpgasm is the closest thing she has to a quick fix in such situations. But ten seconds is not a long time, and wearing the mask much longer than that threatens to sap away what little vitality she has left. If she can’t finish the fight shortly after putting on the mask, she’s going to lose.
Her parents also didn’t do her any favors doting on her the way they did. While she isn’t outwardly emotional, she is quite vain and can hold a grudge for the pettiest of things. Her pride makes her easy to manipulate and prevents her from allying with people she really should be.

”Don't be silly, Binky. Just because she doesn't call herself Oros doesn't mean that she Isn't an Oros. She holds Endless Eclipse, does she not?”
”It says here that it's a spear.”
”You don't think every Oros is going to have the exact same weapon, do you? She can divine the future, what else-”
"Oh wow, are you guys elves?"
”I assume you're asking that because of the technology rather than the shape of our ears?”
"You could be using illusion magic."
”That's actually a good point.”

Luana Roycroft
Forrest Hermit
Age 24 | Female | 5'10
Appearance
Abilities
Hunter's Spear MasteryLuana is capable with a spear in her hands. She's been using them since she was old enough to hunt and has become proficient in their use. Years of hunts have honed her body, but her athletic prowess is very much in the realm of what a human could normally achieve. She can reliably hold off common ruffians, but she'll need to get creative to overcome foes with enhanced strength.
Endless EclipseA nigh-indestructible spear head that's as broad as her arm. The spear head sparkles like the night sky, but its twinkle is overpowered by sunlight. The spear itself is short (as long as she is tall) but is light and compact enough to be useful in a forest. While the spear head is strong, the shaft is made out of wood and isn't any stronger than a standard spear shaft. The spear's real special ability is to let it's wielder divine information. If they thirst, they can see the location of a pond. If they are hunting someone, they need only think their name to see their location. The visions that Endless Eclipse shows Luana are not accompanied by sound, and it can be difficult to discern something's location if Luana is not familiar with the area. As an example, she could easily see that a bandit hideout resides within a cave, but might have difficulty discerning where the cave was located if there weren't other hints to go by.
Druid CraftAnyone who spends that much time in the wilderness is bound to learn how to control it. Luana has two primary uses for her druid craft. The first is that she can turn into any animal she has seen so long is it's no larger than a bear or smaller than a house cat. Any injury she sustains in an animal form will carry over to her real one when she turns back. She can also give herself small animal traits, such as gills for breathing underwater or light sensitive eyes for dark vision. She can only give herself one of these features at a time. The second aspect of her druid craft is the ability to manipulate plant growth. Vines can spiral out of control in seconds, and acorns can grow into fully fledged trees in minutes. While animal shapes are easy to maintain, plant growth requires quite a bit of concentration, especially if it's being used for more than a few seconds at a time. She does carry a few acorns and vine seeds on herself should she find herself out of the wilderness.
SurvivalLuana knows her way around the wilderness. She knows what's safe to eat and what's poisonous, how to track animals, and the best plants to make antivenoms and salves out of. Even out of the forest, she usually carries a few vials to use in a pinch. But Luana is hardly an alchemist. Her antivenoms are good against most venomous attacks, but are too feeble to treat magical poisons. Salves and the like can stem bleeding and aid recovery, but won't instantly heal a wound.
History
Elves are content to live their entire lives in Lymensari forest, but most humans wouldn't dream of it.
Ever since her parents told her about the betrayed god, she's had a desire to see an elf. Surely they looked more fantastic than any of those scary formorian fellows. Though at such a young age, she wasn't sure how to go about completing such a task. When you were only 6, no one took you too seriously. Sure, there were some boys her age that promised to show her some elves if she married them. Another claimed to be an elf in disguise. That was fascinating, but it was becoming more and more apparent that if Luana was going to see an elf, it was going to have to be something she did herself.
Her desire to see elves shaped a lot of her childhood decisions. Luana spent a lot of time at the outfitters trying to understand how everything worked. What was essential for a trip or what made for the best hunting knife. Her parents refused to buy her anything that might help her run away from home, but they would buy her books that she liked. She read about all kinds of wildlife and plants.
As she got older, her freedoms grew. Her knowledge about the local wildlife made her an asset during hunting expeditions. She insisted on being armed just like the guys, and trained with them extensively. When she wasn't training or hunting, she was practicing other skills. Most girls sewed clothes, but Luana was learning how to sew up wounds and make salves out of the local plant life.
One day the hunting party got a bit too eager while chasing a boar. The frenzied hunters were unaware of how deep into the wood the boar had taken them. The trees were getting thick, but surely a wounded boar wouldn't be that much trouble. And they were right. But the forest was home to many creatures, most more dangerous than a common boar.
What insued was a slaughter.
The hunting spears did little to the creature's hide, and it was famished. The thick forest didn't impede its movement, and a single swing of its tail could break a tree, let alone the bones of the hunters. Everyone was running for their lives. Luana's thirst for adventure had been sated, and her only thought was that she had to survive. The hunting party split up, knowing that this creature was impossible to outrun. Better a few of them perish than all of them. Luana was not lucky enough to avoid the creature's gaze.
She should have died. She was weaker than the other hunters and less experienced to boot. But be it luck or intervention, the creature was felled by a single stroke. A comet fell from the sky and split the creature's head in two. Though what appeared to be a comet had actually been a mighty spear. This was the first time Luana had set her eyes on Endless Eclipse. But what really caught her attention were the silhouettes that must have belonged to her saviors. They must have been elves, but she was too tired to move or talk. They moved deeper into the forest before she could recover. But the spear had been left for her. With the spear in her hands, Luana felt she had little to fear from the forest. She needed to find those elves, and was determined to remain until she saw them.
She got no closer to finding the elves, but the spear revealed its origins to her in a series of dreams. It was an artifact that belonged to a god named Aigorost that resided among the stars. It was too weak to do much, but had been watching Luana for a while and decided to bestow its boon on her in her time of need. This emboldened her, and she had decided that she would not leave the forest before finding the elves. Before long she became a hermit. Her local village spread rumors about a wild spear maiden, but non suspected it could be Luana. She didn't need books anymore. Her spear could show her whatever she wanted to see.
But it couldn't show her what those silhouettes were.
After a few years, and out of the blue, Luana tried asking her spear for some direction. Just the vague request of where she needed to go. And the spear showed her a queen with hair as radiant as the sun. In truth, Luana had no desire to give up her search for those shades, but her spears answer had her interest piqued. She set out to find this queen on the same day.
But she'd need to stop by the outfitters. She'd been wearing the same clothes for some time now.
”What an exciting week! I hadn't expected us to meet like this for some time. But the location is a little strange.”
”Did she talk like this the entire time?”
”Yes.”
”Like what?”
”If you could just tell me what we're doing here, I'd gladly assist as best I can. Otherwise-”
”The scan's complete.”
”So we can get her out of here before she asks too many questions?”
”Yes.”
”Hah! Very well, you can keep your secrets for now. I'll learn of them in time.”
”She was lively! Did she leave on her own?”
”Yes.”
Oros the Wise
Name: Mika Fang • Age: She’s been 16 for a very long time • Nationality: USA(?)
Appearance: Mika wears her very best every day. That is to say that everything in her wardrobe is the exact same dress and even the same color. A white and blue dress with pouches for carrying things through the academy. She’s a native American indian (she claims) and has a darker shade of skin than many other magical girls. Her hair, much like her wardrobe, is not something she fusses over much.
No one knows what her true magical girl form looks like. Her powers enable her to change her appearance at will, and the only thing that makes it evident Mika is "Oros the Wise" is her sword and powers. She's even made her magical girl form mirror her untransformed appearance as a joke.
Description: For the most part Mika is kind, helpful, and energetic. It’s hard not to be captivated by the way she bounds down hallways, waving at everyone she meets. She also knows most of the students by heart and has given each of them cute pet names. This usually involves shortening their name, sometimes to a single letter. As a student counselor, she’s always willing to listen and give advice to students and even her fellow faculty members. Everything feels like it’s going to be okay when talking to Mika regardless of how hard things feel. That is, provided you don’t catch her on one of her off days. While she’s always jovial, she can also come across as condescending and even arrogant at times. It doesn’t happen often but when she gets mad she gets really mad! But that is a rare occurrence, and she would never, ever get upset with a student. There is a certain level of professionalism that she always maintains.
Like so many other faculty members, Mika’s past is shrouded in mystery. Talking about her past usually prompts a joke about jumping to this reality from another one. She never reveals her actual age, but alludes to being centuries old. Though if one chose to parse her stories for what sounds believable, it makes her sound younger than that.
Mika grew up on a farm out in “cow country” and spent most of her time with the animals. It might be fair to say that she loved animals more than other people. She was an odd girl and was picked on by a lot of the other children. When you’re different, it’s harder to get accepted by your classmates. When Mika was given a homework assignment that involved writing a bout a story she read, she took to the library where she found her grimoire, first faced the pageless, and got an “A” on her report card.
Less mysterious have been her years at Marrywell Academy. While she can be eccentric, it hasn’t gotten in the way of her being a student counselor. She’s been there for many young magical girls and has a good reputation with most of the faculty members. Despite this, she has run some student drills in the past when she was still a normal teacher. Her drills were infamous for their punishing difficulty and some were cited as “despair inducing.” That said nothing of her classes, which were also difficult affairs to pass. Perhaps she got her reputation for encouraging others after so many failed to pass her classes. She is seldom brought in to teach anymore.
Mika is very much into whatever the students are into and doesn’t care if her tastes seem childish. She like animals, comics, manga, cartoons, anime, pizza, and anything else you would expect a teenager to be into. Her dislikes are also on the childish side, which is primarily green vegetables.
As part of the Grand Ministry, she thinks they are an alright bunch that do their best. That doesn’t mean that she or one of her clones doesn’t sneak off to do their own thing from time to time. She doesn’t fully trust Liliana’s leadership and thinks it might be time for some reforming so that new blood and new ideas can work their way into the upper echelon of the academy. She’s told Merlin as much, who found the thought funny.
Grimoire's Title: Fenian Cycle (Alter)• Classification: Alter Myth
Description: The Fenian Cycle is a body of Irish literature that was largely composed between the 9th and 14th century with the earliest one going as far back as the 7th century. The poems and tales primarily deals with Fionn Mac Cumhail (Finn McCool) and the Fianna clan’s merry group of warrior-hunters.
Fionn’s father was slain by a member of the Fianna. As his father was a great warrior, there was some concern that someone would go after Fionn just for bragging rights, so he was hidden in the forest and raised by two druids. He became a great warrior, and by the ripe old age of ten he had gained enough renown that the king decided to let Fionn lead the Fianna. They went on many adventures. While most of the adventures focus on Fionn as the main character, there are stories about the other hunter-wariors and even one where Fionn is captured and needs to be rescued by his clan.
While the Fianna’s adventures are best known to those native to Ireland, they have achieved some renown around the world and still make appearances in popular media. There are clear nods to their stories as recently as Adventure Time (Finn is discovered by two dogs in a forest, much like how two druids raised Fionn) And as far back as the tale of King Author, though that particular comparison is disputable as just that, some similarities. Regardless, the Fianna’s exploits have sent ripples through history, and is likely the great grandfather of any story that embodies the spirit of adventure. It’s a myth for sure.
But what of its altered state?
For maximum protection, Fionn is moved to the other side of the world through drudic magic. He is then raised by two shinto shrine maidens (basically Japan’s equivalent of druids) and at the ripe age of ten, decides to sail back to Ireland so that he can avenge his father as a warlord. The poems central themes of love, comradery, and adventure are tainted by hate, revenge, and conquest. More specific changes about the tale can be found listed under each power.
Abilities: This grimoire enables its holder to take on the features of Fionn the Warlord, herein simply referred to as “warlord” as to not be confused with the original Fionn.
• Trout of Wisdom: One of Fionn’s first major stories involves him being tasked with cooking the Salmon of Wisdom for the man who fished it up, while being instructed not to consume it. He accidentally burns himself on its oils and sticks his thumb in his mouth to cool it off. This counts as consuming the fish, and he can now access the knowledge of the world by sticking his thumb in his mouth. In a similar story, warlord vanquishes the hermit fisherman, and then thrusts his katana inside the Rainbow Trout of Wisdom. The fish’s oils are then used to hone the blade, which makes it possible for warlord to view anything he wishes.
For Mika, this makes it possible for her to divine nearly anything she wishes. All she has to do is look into her polished blade to see what’s happening past, present… but not the future, as it only shows her the “world’s knowledge” and does not apply to what has yet to happen. She claims she can look into other realities with it, but she has yet to find the book of Omen with it, so maybe take her claims with a grain of salt.
• Wild Shape: Both Fionn and Warlord were raised by two magical mother figures who taught them magic. There is little difference here, save for the fact that Fionn used his magic to help people while warlord used it to become a more fearsome opponent.
Mika is able to change the shape of her body. This includes subtle changes like increasing her height to more fantastical ones like giving herself the arm of a bear or the head of an owl. She can (and does) frequently mix and match her transformations and can quickly turn into an abomination. She could technically use this to become other people, but Mika isn’t good at impersonations and doesn’t do them unless she’s screwing around.
• Carnage: The most noteworthy part of Fionn’s arsonal is his wits. He did chase a smith for ten days and forced them to make him “Mac An Lúin,” a sword that can kill anything in a single stroke, but he only uses it when in great danger. Some myths have him lifting mountains with his hands and depict the usually human fionn as a giant himself. In fact, some of Ireland’s mountain ranges were rumored to be created by him. Warlord on the other hand is no giant. He slew an oni and stole his strength before trying to get a legendary bladesmith to forge him a sword. When they refused, warlord took the smith’s body and threw it into the furnace, deciding to forge a sword fitting for his conquest. It is also said to kill in one stroke, but this is more attributed to warlord’s strength than his craftsmanship abilities.
Mika’s strength is unmatched, as one would expect from a grimoire of her caliber that offers little in the way of magical attacks. While her attacks do not kill everything in one hit, that largely depends on how sturdy her target is. She also has a katana, but it’s fairly standard as far as magical girl weaponry goes. She’s also far more durable than her nimble frame leads one to believe.
• Onslaught: Fionn eventually led the Fianna after completing a quest and even forgave the man that slew his father. The entire clan went on several adventures together and their respect grew with their conquests. Warlord never forgave the man that killed his father however. Not only did he kill him, he slew the rest of the Fianna as well. The only person warlord needed was himself.
Mika can create her own clan of warrior-hunters…sort of. She can create four clones of herself which are just as strong as she is and share her personality. The only difference is that they know enough to take orders from the original and will sacrifice themselves to keep Mika alive.
• Immortality: Most great heroes end their stories in death, but Fionn and the Fianna slumber under a giant mountain, waiting to awaken in Ireland’s time of need. Warlord on the other hand has left this reality for greater conquests, vowing to come back and sink Ireland once he’s strong enough to do so. Perhaps the two are fated to fight?
Mika is no more immortal than any other magical girl, but she is much more resistant to poisons, hexes, domination spells, or other “crowd control effects" that would make her less effective in combat.
”While Oros is presently dead, we all know that's not going to last forever. A corpse can't join the 7 Nation Army, but a record of her would be good to have.”
”I think I have her old data logs from her time in Penrose.”
”P.T., wanna get me the remnants of her Esper data?”
”No reason, not to, bro.”

Description:
has an Average body shape, though her bestial traits make her appear older than she normally would. She's not tall, but her muscle definition and shape make her appear more like a woman than a girl. Anyone who looks at her knows there's something off. From the wild look in her eyes to the smile that seldom falters. Her black shrine maiden's outfit is Skimpy and cover far less than traditional garbs do. Though this does not bother her. Regardless of her state of mind, she struts around in complete confidence. (+2 AGI)
Her disguise (which she seldom ever uses) is typically dressed up nice. Though she does not shy away from "fetish" outfits or ones that flatter her form. She loves to accessorize and tries to strike a balance between "hot" and "Cute" most of the time.
Specializations:
Beast: Oros is able to call upon the power of any animal she can think of. Her body can morph partially or in whole to take their strength for herself. She can give herself extra limbs like a tail or a third arm, or replace limbs with entirely different appendages. Oros's reflexes and senses are passively bolstered beyond that of normal magical girls. Even disguised, she retains some of her senses and a bit of her strength. Oros's beast magic goes beyond that of most magi and can transcend mundane creatures. She is capable of transforming into monsters and using their powers for herself, though they are no stronger than what her beast specialization is capable of, and she can't replicate their spells. Only the creature's innate abilities can be replicated. She just needs to have seen a creature to copy it. (+1 STR, VIT, AGI)
The Bestiary presently contains:
Crystal minion: A crystal that can corrupt mundane materials and turn it into black muck, which can then be used to shape its body. the crystal growths appear to be their weak point. Crystal BAMF: A larger version of the crystal minion. Can regenerate its limbs, but is unable to reverse damage to its torso.
Gravity: Oros also has mastery over the fabric of the universe. That is to say mass, or gravity. She primarily uses it to create centralized gravity wells that pull her prey into an area, lock them down, or shove them about. Gravity magic is more of a utility to Oros, and seldom uses it to attack directly. She'd rather hold you in place and chop you up with her katana than "sans slam" her opponents to death. This also passively allows Oros to move with floaty grace and lift things she normally couldn't, even when disguised. Oros also possesses a rare utility for gravity girls called "space slipping." It's a counterspell that lets her "shift along the fourth dimension of the continuum to catch prey." That is to say if someone uses teleportation, dimensional shifting, or an equivalent, Oros can teleport/shift along with them. (+4 MAG)
Weapon:
Endless Eclipse: (copper) Oros's dark katana. (+1 STR AND VIT)
Power:
Oros has the tentacle power that manifests itself as animal appendages. Her tentacles can be manipulated just like her own body, becoming snakes, eels, or even limbs.
Hammer Space: (gold) Oros has access to an infinitely large space where she can instantly call things into her hands.
Oros has raided a shopping center and shoved everything she possibly could into her hammer space. This gives her access to virtually everything from house furnishings to tools to construction materials. This does not give Oros access to rare or specific items, like military grade technology, specialized software, or materials that clearly couldn't be purchased from a shopping center. Everything she has access to is purely civilian grade.
Oros has also been granted a plethora of cages, alters, and knives from her patron. They can be made out of wood, steel, or crystal. The cages come in various sizes.
Perks:
Gifted: Oros has been alive a lot longer than most magical girls. She might be insane, but her most specialized abilities frustrate those who try to copy her. (+1 AGI)(+1 MAG)
Elemental: Oros has honed herself into the perfect life form. She has backup facilities for all of her biological functions. Breathing, eating, sleeping, and even circulating blood are just some of the things that are optional for Oros. (+1 VIT)
Bestial: Unlike most Monster girls, Oros has a very human appearance. The only exception being that her hair is coarse like the coat of a wild animal. It is impossible to tell her apart from a normal magical girl without touching her hair or using magical deviation. The exception is seeing her with her cursed weapon drawn, but that only ousts her as a DMG. (+2 AGI)
Void touched: True predators can hunt their prey wherever they hide. Oros can shift between realities, parallel universes, or shells of worlds lost. This also includes the overcity and pocket dimensions like interdenominational homes, though Oros needs to have personally visited them or be near someone shifting into them to get the coordinates. (+1 LCK)
Innate awareness: Oros is a hunter by nature. She has an innate awareness that draws her towards what sates her desires. This is usually food, waifus, and Beacon/Mint girls. This works so long as Oros doesn't get too specific. She can find Beacon girls if she's hunting for them, but she won't be drawn directly to Alicia if she's hunting her.(+1 LCK)
Awareness (Emergency): Years of fighting and Oros's own keen senses have made her hyper alert to mundane details. (+1 LCK)
Numb (Emergency): Few things bring Oros any pleasure outside of her beastly urges. That said, few things cause her much pain. (+1 VIT)
Mystic Artifact (Gifted Item): Endless Eclipse's blade can show Oros past events. Her blade also remembers things it has cut, and can guide her after her prey.
(+1 MAG)
Patron:Aighorost
Patron Benefits:
Minions: Lesser monsters respond to Oros's mental commands. She is also capable of performing rituals to summon larger monsters, and even behemoths (during events only).
Gifted Item: Endless Eclipse's blade can show Oros past events. Her blade also remembers things it has cut, and can guide her after her prey.
Reasonable: Aighorost does not wish to enslave humanity or otherwise ruin the planet. It just wishes to use earth as a satellite outpost in its quest. Thus, it is possible for Oros to find allies.
Magical overload: Aighorost does not always bestow such boons onto their chosen, but in this case...
Transport: Oros can summon the black lotus, a floating lily pad with a giant lotus flower on top.
Patron Drawbacks:
Insomnia: Oros may not need sleep, but she is never far from the whispers of the collective entities that make up Aighorost. When she blinks, its everyone she can't save looking back at her from behind her eyelids.
Mind bent: Mind bent? No, Oros understands this world better than anyone! It's all a game, and the gods are watching!
Big brother: Aighorost and the players are always watching. it's hard to get anything past them.
Clueless: Aighorost isn't especially vocal. hundreds of voices all saying different things.
Monstrous form: Are you kidding? this is a perk!
Monster features:
Thicc skinned: Oros's hide isn't that thick, but it's dense enough that it counts as the same thing. (+ 3 VIT, +1 STR, -2 AGI)
Second Specialization: Oros has gained the ability to hunt threats beyond her homeworld, and also play with gravity.
Sentinel, Devour: These mutations come together to make Oros behave like an animal. Her main goals are to eat, hunt, and protect her "mate" whoever that happens to be. She's always a little on edge unless she's sating one or all of her desires. She despises long conversations with anyone but her mate and is more likely to act out the longer they carry on.
Fighting Style:
Oros is a versatile mid to close quarters fighter who prefers to fight her opponents with her katana. She primarily uses her magic to self-buff and lock down her prey. This makes her exceptional at chasing slippery targets and denying attacks on her more frail allies.
Her balanced stat parameters enable Oros to adjust for the situation. To name everything she can do with her beast magic would require a lot of time and a very deranged individual. But to name a few things she can do, she can give herself night vision by swapping out her eyes with that of a cat or other nocturnal predator. On the more unorthodox side, she can make herself poisonous, spin silk webs, and pad her feet so that she's quieter when walking over snow. This is without talking about the monsters she's been able to observe.
Gravity magic is expensive, which is why she only uses the basic utility abilities. gravity wells, pushes and pulls, with the occasional hold or weapon weight increase. It's what makes her nigh impossible to escape from and enables her to control the flow of a fight. even teleportation and shifting won't help you escape from Oros.
Base (4) Gravity Spec(+4 MAG) Gifted (+1 MAG) Mystic Artifact (+1 LCK) Total (=10 MAG)
Base (4) Void touched (+1 LCK) Innate awareness (+1 LCK) Awareness (+1 LCK) Total (=7 LCK)
Personality:
It's hard to tell where Oros starts and her mental mutations end, speaking nothing of the delusions Aighorost hampered on her. She very much sees herself as an apex predator in the magical girl world, and has all the animistic desires that come with it. If you can't eat it, fight it, or lay with it, Oros isn't interested. She also tends to treat the world as a game. Death doesn't matter because everyone can respawn, destructible environments are part of the experience. Her views on life are very nihilistic, and believes that pursuing your own desires is the best use of anyone's time. Like any sandbox RPG.
Oros is not good at first impressions. She's bitter, crass, and stubborn. She will awkwardly force sexual innuendos when she can, and uses the word shit liberally. Usually as a prefix. As in shit-sticks, or shit-for-brains. Put downs and insults tumble out of her smiling lips with ease, and she doesn't seem to care about how clever they are. She also talks about things that nobody fully understands, which makes her seem insane.
But she does have positive attributes as well. While clearly not right in the head, she has a better understanding of her world than most and knows how people work. Oros is more intelligent than first impressions would have you believe, and is capable of being nice to people if it gets her what she wants or they do something to put her in a good mood. This goes double for her mate, who she will try extra hard to please. Though it should be noted that Oros picks mates who's goals coincide with her own.
History:
Oros's induction into the magical girl world is pretty standard. A puchuu turned her into a magical girl, and she fought for all that was just and right in the world. Magical girl life was great for a while. It's fun to slay monsters, and her patron always praised her. She got to work with other girls, fell in love, she had it all. But it wasn't meant to last.
What got her to sign up with Aighorost was nothing short of an Emergency. Tragedy struck when the war between Beacon and Mint raged out of control. Her friends slain, either turning into full monsters or otherwise forced out of the cycle of rebirth. They kept pulling out bigger toys, until humanity's population dwindled to almost nothing. The monsters had to feed off of each other when humans became scarce. Everyone ignored her plight for an escape. Everyone but Aighorost.
They gave Oros power, most importantly the ability to jump between dimensions. Now Oros had everything she needed to visit other worlds. Places where things weren't quite so shitty. It was like nothing happened. But then it would happen, and Oros would have to try again. Again and again and again and again. She wouldn't give up. Even if none of it was real, even if she had to reset the world a hundred times, she'd keep going until she created an outcome she liked.

NAME:
Oros the Mad
AGE:
Over the hill, appears to be in her 20s, even when out of esper form.
SEX:
Female, we hope
APPEARANCE:
Oros is quite tall, even towering over most men. She dyes her hair pink and isn’t too discerning when it comes to what she wears. Suits, cocktail dresses, so long as it makes her look rich, cool, or cute, she couldn’t care less. Her esper form gives her a Miko outfit, and her movements become more beastly. Sometimes she will drop onto all fours and chase down her prey.
GRIMIORE:
A magatama talisman made from a pink stone.
INSTRUMENT: Endless Eclipse
Tempered from a neutron star and quenched in the cosmos themselves. A katana with an edge as black as night, but shimmers like the stars. It is a ritualistic blade unfit for combat, but in Oros’s hands it’s just as capable as any weapon.
GRADE: Diamond KEYWORD: Greatsword DAMAGE TYPE: Physical DAMAGE: A SPEED: S SENTINEL: E SPECIAL: Arcane Blight: Endless Eclipse can unmake any arcane effects it cuts through. Espers and monsters are stripped of positive melodies/spells, arcane barriers shatter like glass, and melodies can be denied if the projectile/beam/mark/whatever-cast-note-you-use is sliced through or her sword is inside the target. Area abilities like those made with zone and puddle notes can’t be cut, but their effects will stop working on anything Oros’s sword is presently cutting. Glamor specials and ranks granted from glamors are unaffected by Endless Eclipse.
STYLE: Dark Garb
Miko are suppose to be the embodiment of purity, but Oros’s clothes hardly conveys the same feeling.
GRADE: Diamond PHYSICAL: D ARCANE: A CHAOS: B SPECIAL: Number of the Beast: At will, Oros can ignore the damage from 6 attacks, deny 6 magical debuffs, and become invulnerable to all form of damage for 6 seconds. She recovers a single use/second of this special when cannibalizing a mundane target such as a human or animal, and one of each when doing so to a magical one such as a monster or esper. Alternatively, she can recharge all of her uses if she allows her mana to recover to maximum.
GENRE: Inner Beast
Few would suspect such a pretty Miko could be tho host of such hideous beasts. Unless they were Oros the Mad.
SPECIAL: Therianthropy: When Oros uses the [Transform] note, she can alter her anatomy to gain a special feature in place of the damage buff. The [Transform] note does not need to be part of a touch or self note to qualify for this option. The feature gained depends on the grade of the cast note, and a lesser quality special can be selected if desired. All effects last 6 seconds and can be extended with an [Extend] or [Full extend] note. Animal based specials can stack, but powers cannot.
-Bronze: Situational animal based special (gills to breathe underwater, cat eyes for night vision) -Silver: Power of medium sized animal (Strength of an ape, speed of an emu) -Gold: Strong animal based special (extra organs for better survivability, resistances to special damage types like acid or poison, Poisons with additional functions) -Diamond: Power of a large animal (Strength of a bear, speed of an ostrich/horse)
LEITMOTIF: Meta Game
Oros’s blade has the ability to show her visions from the past, present, and future, across dimensions. This gives her knowledge she couldn’t get on her own. The only other explanation is that she is a GMPC in a forum role playing game, but quite frankly that’s absurd. Trust me, her sword is just like a crystal ball.
Grade: Diamond SPECIAL: Oros is acutely aware of events that have and will transpire in the RP, and possibly even other RPs. She’s also seen your character sheets, and wasn’t impressed.
FACTION:
Depraved
TRIVIA:
Like most depraved espers, there’s a lot of people who want Oros dead. It’s a reasonable sentiment, seeing as she openly claims to be serving a horror and doing what she can to summon them. Naturally, neither G.E.M.I.N.I. nor Maverick Alternative are okay with this, nor the freelancers they regularly employ for work. More powerful espers than her have been brought low by hunting parties, but her cunning makes her an elusive target to track.
This would normally just be considered the ramblings of a mad woman or a joke in poor taste, but Oros came from the elemental chaos. No one knows who she was when she entered, but Oros the Mad is all that’s left of them now.
While most depraved try to fade into obscurity, Oros has recently done something that makes no sense for someone with her motivations. Pax Septimus was ruled by a self proclaimed queen who saw fit to let the local monster population do whatever it desired. This is certainly a good thing if you’re trying to summon a horror, but Oros went and put a stop to that. The resulting power vacuum has drawn in the factions along with many freelance espers looking to stay busy.
Oros is pretty jovial for a cultist, if a bit rude. It’s not uncommon for her to poke fun at whoever she’s talking to, and she has a reputation for being something of an instigator. Though she’ll casually talk with other espers even if they are there to kill her.

Binky A very tired, very overworked magical researcher. Her specialty is minting magical coins that scramble and rearrange the magic of those that use them. Is lovingly called Binky because she's a bit of a crybaby. Even though she's come a long way in her fitness and training, she's still a bit timid unless backed into a corner. Not an official member of the 7 Nation Army project, but she's fun to have around. Is also a magical girl.
P.T. An inter dimensional traveler who trains fighters around the multiverse. She talks like a stoner and is always hopped up on questionable substances that enhance her combat capabilities. Or maybe that's because she's using recreational drugs all the time? More research is necessary. Is not a magical girl, but is often confused for one.
Aria Rizzo The big boss. Formerly a magical girl, but recently acquired god-like status. Is too busy messing around with the fabric of distant realities to do anything truly productive. Has an unsavory past, but that's the past. It's all fun and profit now.
”I’m aware of that. I’m just not sure why we’re doing this in such a remote location. We’re nowhere near Penrose!”
”There’s no reason to be excited, Binky. Things like this tend to draw a lot of eyes, and I’d rather conduct my scans away from as many people as possible.”
”There’s still a chance we’ll get noticed!”
”If someone wants to open Pandora’s box, I say let them. The few people from Penrose that might notice what we’re doing here will be thrilled that we’re doing it. But if it helps, we’ll be hiding the really important parts of our research until it’s time to show off.”
”Okay…”
”Let’s just, get started. Daylight, burning, fast.”
Amber stashed her phone in her case and closed down her laptop. All things considered, her morning routine was going a lot more smoothly than it normally did. Usually by this point everyone started exchanging greetings or talking about "the agenda for the day." but it was nice that everyone was being so-
What the hell was everyone doing?
She looked up from her tablet again, this time looking a bit harder. She couldn't see anything with all the teachers gathered around the window, but they were talking about "magical girls" and something about being for "all ages," while accompanying a squeaky voice. They had better not be watching some anime on their phones. They had to be at class before long, and there would be plenty of time to catch up with their childish hobbies over lunch. Though it started to sound like they were thinking about getting back to work. Emiko said something about helping the kids, Yui wanted to know if she was getting weekends off, and it started to sound like they might be getting their head back in the game.
”Sure, I don't mind extra work.” Amber didn't bother looking up from her tablet, which she was still finalizing the schedule on. ”If Yui can't be bothered, I'll take her hours too. I can work weekends.”

I don’t play many games these days, I tend to pick things that look interesting and go on a decent steam sale.</div><br><span class="bb-b">Painting Minis</span><br><div class="bb-indent">I do this in moderation. Otherwise, it's a pretty expensive hobby to start...</div><br><span class="bb-b">Music</span><br><div class="bb-indent">I listen to everything, save most country/rap songs.
