Welp, I'm glad I sprung for the Light power :V (Not that I think we'll be using this, but just in case....)

Lunacy of Love: A CYOA Magical Girl Roleplay [Completed]

Alicia Hayden

Name: Alicia Hayden

Age (Magical Girl): 15

Age (Before Magical Girl): 22

Gender: Female

Gender (Before Magical Girl): Female

Appearance:

Untransformed

Transformed

Specialization: Light - Alicia can fire beams of light to attack with modest attack power, single targeting, and long range. Can use a blazing sword of light in melee. Can use spells that see through deceptions like illusions, good at finding things, and capable of Purification (between Fire and reinforcement). At an advanced level she can force others to reveal secrets to her.

Out of costume she is always aware of when people lie to her, with the potential to become more powerful.

Weapon: Ranged, Bow
Star Seraph - An ornately decorated longbow with ammunition both magical and ordinary. It provides quit a bit of a wallop at full draw, to punch through armor and flesh. It makes up for the comparatively low speed of the weapon when it is being used, though she can augment that with magic to increase the firing speed of her weapon and even throw out multiple arrows at once.

Power: Barrage - Specializes in suppression, casting a lot of small spells in a row, and she can add secondary explosions to her larger spells.

Perks: Enhanced Outfit - An improved uniform that channels magic better, and provides serious protection to the point of shrugging off axes and heavy weapons fire.

Sorcery - Alicia has experience with the mystical art of Hoodoo, which she can even teach to normal people after some lessons. It also lets her use magic when untransformed.

Interdimensional Tourist - Alicia knows a traveler from another dimension who lends a hand when she needs it, giving her a place to crash, offering fake ID's, pretending to be her parents, etc.

Get out of jail - When imprisoned or trapped Alicia can rarely choose to teleport to a random safe location, which is guaranteed to have the supplies or facilities she needs to recover. Easy return and the area remaining safe past arrival are not guaranteed.

Blood Magic - Magic can be fueled with health rather than Mana, though obviously this can be dangerous to your general well being
Patron: Beacon

Patron Benefits: Spark - With a small exertion of will Alicia can resist attempts to alter her mind or body

Perfect Life - The Beacon gives you the Fake Parents perk, and will defend them from monsters.

Supplier - The Beacon provides Alicia with a lot of non-magical resources, though it may take some time for her to get them.

Patron Drawbacks: Vow of Patience - Alicia vows to show forgiveness and be merciful to those who do wrong, Build a sense of peaceful stability and harmony, resolve issues and arguments respectfully, and act with a forbearance that comes from moderation
Excommunication - Don't play by the Beacon's rules, get kicked out and killed on sight. No cooperating with Horrrors, dark magical girls, monsters, or the Ebon Mint, no using Black Coins, no killing other Beacon girls.

Fighting Style: Alicia is primarily a ranged fighter par excellence. She will hang back and provide support for melee fighters, taking out mobs and backing up her allies with powerful magic. If fighting solo she will do her best to keep her distance, hammering away at her opponent and wearing them down until she can shift to the offensive and deliver the coup de main with an overwhelming onslaught of magical force. This is augmented by her blood magic, allowing her to keep up the fight for far longer than your average magical girl and ensuring that the strategy is effective by maintaining a consistent power output for longer.

If she is pulled into melee she will use her magic to fight defensive and look for an opportunity to return to long range, or for her opponent to make a mistake so she can finish the fight right then and there.

Stats (Untransformed): These start at 3. CYOA options indicate if they apply out of costume as well.
STR: 3
AGI: 3
VIT: 3
MAG: 4
LCK: 3

Stats (Transformed): These start at 4.
STR: 8
AGI: 7
VIT: 10
MAG: 11
LCK: 6

Personality: Alicia does her best to live up to the virtue that she has taken on as part of Beacon, and she would consider herself a fairly patient person who does not relish the thought of violence. That does not mean she will not act to defend civilians if they are threatened. This she will do with a firm conviction, though there may be some regret depending n the circumstances involved. She is not heartless after all.

As a normal girl Alicia works hard and has an upbeat attitude, always looking forward to whatever the day might bring, even if it's a challenge to look on the sunny side. She tends to be more charitable than is perhaps good for her, but doesn't mind working hard and helping out others if they need assistance. She also has a soft spot for music, specifically soft rock and classical music, and cares a lot about her family. Fortunately being in Beacon means she doesn't have to worry about them, giving her a bit more peace of mind.

History: Alicia grew up with a fairly normal life, the eldest of three siblings and the one who felt the weight of family expectation upon her. She did her best to live up to the family values, and to represent them well. She did not want to let her parents down after all. Yet she always had this nagging suspicion that there was something missing, that she could be something more. She just didn't know what it was. It would take her time to find out. She went to college, planning to become a teacher so she could give back to people much like she had been raised to. Yet she was not content simply giving up her life so easily. During break she went traveling, exploring the world a bit to try and find herself, and to resolve herself to what she was going to do in the future. A fact made all the more ironic when she was approached by a Puchuu from 'The Beacon' one day.

So she became a magical girl, learning how to fight, to harness her powers and use them in a manner that lived up to the ideals that Beacon upheld. She also chose her virtue as required by the Beacon, and settled into a new life with her family. She went out to fight, and soon got quite a bit of experience as a magical girl. Along the way she also met a strange traveler who claimed to be from another dimension. After buying them a meal they struck up a good friendship, and now work together when it is needed or convenient. Her friend doesn't go out and fight, but for more covert things it works out well.

Incantation: "Chains of Darkness, break! Light, shine forth!"

The War of the Three

'Why can't the Machina act more strategically?'

Well you see generally speaking strategic level ability is for a theater or a campaign. Tactics are what you're looking for in individual battles.

Epic City: Starburst

And heist begin. I'm lazy though so I won't describe the entire thing. Apologies to anyone hoping for more.

Epic City: Starburst

Finch

While the Epic cats were away, the birds would play.

That was what Finch wanted to think anyways. Crime waited for no man, and even if he was not on the clock with the Epics who ran the place Finch was not going to put a stop to his endeavors. After all, not every crime could be stopped, and it made him look a bit more threatening when he was actually successful. Otherwise the impact would be lost because there would be no reason to care about him. At least in his own mind.

That was why he was at his current location, positioned near the First City Bank, one of the largest banks in the city (hence the name). Knocking over some branch location wouldn't do for his criminal reputation at all, which was why he was going directly for the head. He might not get everything, but he was going to grab as much as he could and then make his escape.All in a hard days work for the Finch.

"Alright boys, just like we rehearsed. Let's go get them," he said to the guys he had brought in for this operation, most of whom were geared up with the best that he could manage from the resources that he still had. They were confident at least, and probably loyal. It'd be enough to knock over a bank if no Epics showed up to stop him.

So they went to work. Some guys would go around back to move in that way while Finch himself walked in through the front door, brazen as could be. "Hello there folks," he said with a bow as he tossed a glass blade at a guard with a snap of the wrist. "This is what we'd call a heist. So if you'd all kindly hand over any electronic devices, weapons, and the like, no one else will have to get hurt." His men moved quickly to do what he had said, as the heist began in earnest.

Meanwhile he went to go find the bank manager. From there it would be a quick trip to the bank vault. Now it was just a race against time, a race he intended to win.

The War of the Three

If Victoire's flowers had won this fight on their own, again, I would have been left to wonder whether this wasn't all some ruse by Eos because of how easy it was :V

Those chains aren't gonna do shit. Eve is 2fast.

But can she drift?

Crucible of Characters

Drake Venlin

Name: Drake Venlin

Epic Identity: Finch

Age: 26

Faction: Epic Villain

Ability: Drake has the ability to manipulate glass at a touch. He can't make it spring into existence from nothing but he can make it change shape and composition to some extent, giving him considerable versatility

Weakness: Sufficient loud noise/vibrations can knock out his ability to manipulate glass. That and the stuff that usually knocks your standard Epic unconscious. Approaching that vibration threshold can cause him to lose control to some extent, though not completely.

Personality: Drake is as you might expect. When the mask is on he is confident to the point of being cocky, with a slight penchant for the dramatic and putting on a show. Needless to say he loves making an entrance, or an exit, He also likes taking valuable things, or at least making the Epics work to stop him from taking those things so they have to earn a days pay.

Outside of public appearances he is more...hostile, jealous to some extent of him being the villain rather than the Robin Hood-esque hero. And yet he can't stop himself either, not with the allure that comes with it and the possibility of the big score. He just can't sit back and let himself relax for long, not with the hope that one day he will succeed in a big way, and leave the entire city shocked at his success.

Appearance: Drake usually wears casual clothes such as polo shirts and jeans, nothing too flashy that would make him stand out, while not looking like a total slob. He has close cropped brown hair and a light tan to go with it, and an above average muscle build from the work that he does. His costume is a bit more on the practical side, with a leather trenchcoat, a fedora, fingerless gloves, the obligatory mask, and specialized pants and shoes. Stylish yet practical, just what a villain should have.

Background: His beginning was unremarkable, with his childhood fairly obscure by city standards. Was one of several siblings, had a mediocre education, with nothing outstanding about him.It was only when his powers developed that things changed. But by that time he had separated from his family, striking out on his own to earn his own path. In doing so he had fallen in with the wrong crowd, and that maintained itself even after he had gained his powers.

Inevitably he came into conflict with the Epics that ran and oversaw the city, with a rough contact. Drake's powers seemed to have aspired him to rise higher, and he grudgingly accepted a role as the 'fall guy' to enforce the rule of the city. Which is the general status quo that he has settled into now. His efforts allowed him to obtain his own crew and network of individuals, while he gets to steal things and is occasionally stopped so the government can look good, or something like that. He lives with it for now, but someday that will change. He's sure of it.
