  • Name: Ogata Saya
  • Age: 16
  • Gender: Female
  • Appearance:
  • Personality: "People like to talk a good game about how things like music are universal languages that can reach everyone, but so is war, battle, and compettion. There's some truth to that shounen stuff where you talk with your fists. Throughout all the world, there are stories where warriors respect even their opponent's honor and skill in battle. And hell, sports are all about that without the bodily harm. Or, well, less bodily harm." Saya is a straightforward, warlike person. She's aggressive and active. Saya isn't concerned about the victory, so much as the journey.

    Saya is a bit conflicted about her transformation's appearance. On the one hand, she really likes the darker skin, and is considering trying a tan. On the other hand, cow parts can be very confusing.
  • Skills: Saya has always been an active, sporty girl. She's not afraid to use her enhanced physical prowess in Magical Girl Form, doesn't hesitate from action, and is coordinated. However, she doesn't have any big specialties aside from that, and it's not like she has actual weapons or martial arts training.
  • Brief Backstory: "I'm just here to fight! Whether I win the Hexing Night or not, I still get my wish. Tell you what, if you put up the best fight, and I win, I'll let you have my wish. So, give it your best shot!" Saya is a relatively new magical girl, only a few months under her belt. She hasn't been faced with insurmountable odds or truly felt the horrors of battle yet. Her home life is stable, she has friends on her sports team, and everything's still going well for her. Right now, she's still riding the highs of her newfound power. She's finally allowed to properly fight, not just play at fighting with sports. More than that, now she's got the opportunity to not just fight just monsters, but her fellow Magical Girls. She really wants to get to see and find out what they're all made of!

    • Magical Girl Appearance:
    • Concept: Nursery Rhymes
    • Archetype: Cow Jumped Over The Moon
    • Abilities: Saya is a mostly straightforward physical-type magical girl. In general, she strikes out with her spear and enhanced physical power. Her attacks pierce more easily through barriers and tough armor, but don't have the most raw power behind them compared to some other melee magical girls. She can't smash a wall in one hit, though she could pierce through it. Her primary mixup ability is her jumping. Saya can jump up so high and so quickly, that to many she seems to disappear. Her spear can pull her skyward, and then sending her crashing back to earth. The heavens are definitely within her reach. But, she has two other tricks up her sleeve...
      • Mochi Stealing Spoon: Saya's spear transforms into a great spoon and pulls her into the heavens, where, from the defender's perspective, Saya jumps over the moon and then gathers from the moon a great glowing ball of white energy in her spoon. Rocketing back down, Saya launches the energy at her target to cause an explosion, just before her spoon transforms back into a spear and she drills into the target while they're blinded.
      • The Cat's Fiddle: Once per battle, Saya can hum or sing a song. During the duration of the song, she enhances her physical ability even further than normal. The louder and fiercer she sings, the more powerful she becomes. But also, the more it rebounds on her after the song finishes. Once the final note is sung, she is tired and weakened in equal proportion to how much she boosted herself before. Saya has not fully mastered the potential of this ability, as she's not a trained vocalist, and when she tries to sing too strongly, sometimes makes herself out of breath and prematurely ends it.

Thanks! :3

I'll try and catch up on the IC and make my intro sometime soon.
Alright, I think I've got my character mostly down. Still not 100% sure about Archetype vs Concept, but I gave it a shot. Let me know if anything seems fishy.

Hi, I'm thinking about making an application. But I'm not 100% sure I understand the difference between Concept and Archetype. My idea was something based on the "Hey Diddle Diddle" Nursery Rhyme, specifically the "Cow jumped over the moon" line, with the character kind of functioning like a Final Fantasy Dragoon with a focus on exaggerated jump attacks. But I'm not certain what would be the Concept and what would be the Archetype there.



As Kimura expressed her explanation for the wait, and expressed her excitement, Asami quickly took up position beside her, holding up the umbrella to shield them both, and of course, their partners. Asami nodded to Gūremaru's bark, acknowledging him with a gentle smile. The smile quickly turned more energetic though, as Kimura's excitement and theorizing rubbed off on Asami and set her overactive imagination alight.

"Ooooh! I dunno, that could still be fun. If we were kidnapped by Kirigakure, we could see mountains, and the ocean, right? And I hear they even have a mountain that shoots up fire from the ocean, called a volcano. Can you imagine how much fire a whole mountain could make? It'd be the best firework ever! FWOOOMF!" Asami gestures wildly with her hands to display what she imagines an erupting volcano must look like, resulting in the four of them getting showered with a little bit of rain before Asami quickly steadied herself and began properly holding the umbrella again. Momoko chittered a little at the unexpected wetness, swinging from one of Asami's shoulder's to another.

"On the other hand, Kumogakure sounds like they have the prettiest mountains, at least from what I've heard. And it sounds like it'd be a lot easier to get down from a mountain than it would be to escape across the sea. Even if it is supposedly so high up that it touches the clouds, I know how to climb, but I can't swim. But wouldn't that be fun, Kimura-chan? Getting to be so high up that you can touch the clouds?" Asami once again threatened to drench the four of them by reaching to the sky, but this time she stopped just shy of moving her umbrella out of the way to reach higher. Momoko had to hang on as Asami's head tilted, but Asami didn't seem to mind.

"The other two don't sound quite as interesting to me. What about you, Kimura-chan, which village would prefer to be captured by if it's all a secret ploy to kidnap us? I know you wouldn't want that, but, which one would be the least bad, for you?"

Alas, poor Tree, I hardly knew ye.
Süne had found himself listless after a few weeks in Toran. The Arena Challenge had been trifling, like the Gym Leader hadn't truly been trying. Or had simply given him the win because the first challenge was supposed to be easy? He had sent forth his weakest natrelmon, with a weakness to fire, and had not been hit. He didn't feel strong, he felt like no challenge had been given.

He was also mildly unsettled by the single use magical tomes he had acquired. Who made these, and why? But it didn't seem to be anything malicious. So he went ahead and used them to learn the art of Seedsowing. He wasn't quite as sure about this shadowy one. Darkness wasn't necessarily evil, but ghosts were a bit spooky sometimes.

There was a gathering where special devices was handed out, presided by a very important person, it seemed. But those there hadn't seemed invested in group efforts. Most were too busy with their own affairs, and Süne didn't blame them. It was a seriously difficult affair keeping track of everything as a Natrelmon owner.

Whether by whatever eldritch spell was cast over the night, or his own troubles, Süne found his way to the strange old man of crows, and his offer of special magic. Riding his Frallion, as usual.

"Mmm, thank you for the offer, sir. But I don't think I need supremely powerful magic to fulfill my life's ambitions. These random tome things I keep finding whenever I go to the library to research Natrelmon habitats seem to be a nice enough start to keep me safe." Süne offered a slight incline of the head, before passing. He briefly considered trying to capture one of the Yata-Garasu, but figured that they might be the old man's, and that it might be considered rude.

Then he began to leave.
