[High Casual]Puella Magi: The Plague Witch IntCheck

[Noel]

OOC Thread. More info inside

TLDR

• This is a Madoka Magica RP, and like the original will have an overarching plot about an absurdly powerful threat, simply known as the plague witch, looming just over the heads of those fighting in the city.
• This RP however will not be entirely about hunting witches, like the anime and manga itself it should mostly be driven by the characters and their own growth and interaction as they live out life in the run down city of Yules.
• Contracted characters will still need to maintain their soul gems or risk becoming witches themselves.
• The setting of this RP is the previously mentioned city of Yules, a western city which appears to thrive on the surface but suffers from a relentless plague. It is a modern city placed on a peninsula with many canals running through the city(think Venice). A final note on setting, the RP will begin in the winter.
• Posting standard here will be at least two to three good paragraphs, one post per round per player and allowing two or three days per round for people to get their posts in.
• Lastly, should enough interest be gathered more information such as the history of Yules will be included in the OOC.
  

Premise

Many years ago the city of Yules was set upon by an inexplicably sudden plague. In the span of a single night many died, vanished or fell deathly ill, showing all manner of terrible symptoms. But none had shown signs of any sickness before hand, and til this day the exact cause of the plague has never been found. However those few girls who had accepted a certain contract in exchange for a single wish would have the answer, yet it was one no one would believe. A world of magic, witches and curses hiding just beneath the ordinary trappings of every day life. Those awakened to this world would be ones who could discover the true cause of the Yules plague. A massively powerful witch, one who claims the entire city as her feeding ground yet has remained hidden for years upon years

Some track and slay the weaker, less crafty witches that feed within the city in hopes of finding some clue towards the bigger target. Others only hunt to protect themselves, having no desire to risk life and limb in search of something no one has ever seen, or at least not seen and lived to tell about it. Either way it would not be long before any girl fighting within within the town of Yules became aware of the plague witch which stalks the streets and canals. Its gaze ever present, no area of the city truly safe from the reach of its deadly grasp. You see, the plague witch of Yules had become something of a folk tale for the empowered girls. To some it was the greatest prize one could earn, ones who dreamed of claiming the plague witches head in battle. Others saw it as a force to be avoided at all cost, never to be trifled with. Even those who took a solitary path would know of the ever present enemy.

This is the world characters within the RP will live in, the plague ridden city of Yules. A place itself which could be considered cursed, despite the peoples best efforts to live normally and the overlaying gloss of acceptance for the circumstances, witches and their mischief are abundant here.

Now then, if anyone is interested CS template and her CS as an example will be below, and feel free to ask any questions! Also one last note about characters, would like to get some characters who are not already contracted, and maybe even some characters that would stay normal. Lastly, as started earlier this is still a work in progress, there will be more information and whatnot once an OOC is up

Name:Gwen Morrows

Age:17

Appearance:

Soul Gem:Gwen's soul gem is a light blue with an iron cross shape on top, it is located on the ribbon of her hat when transformed.

Weapon:

Wish: Gwen's wish was simply to exact revenge on the ones who had destroyed her family.

Personality: Gwen is over all a nice person, or at least tries to be in most cases. She is not the quickest to warm up to people, rather preferring to keep a bit of distance while gauging the quality of the person in questions character. She is a person driven by a stubborn idealistic nature and a great deal of guilt resting under the surface, likely more then she herself admits or even realizes. If something goes against her own ideals she can show a spiteful, even brutal side.

History: Gwen's family was never rich, for her entire life she lived with mother, father and elder brother in a little house along side small canal on the north east end of the city. The Morrows family was one that was just barely brushing up against middle class, but with a careful eye on their wallets they always managed to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. All in all they were a fairly happy family. Through her youngest years Gwen never had reason to know her family may have been hard off for cash and was a happy average child. Though it was never spoke of directly she did however come to realize their financial state was decent at best but still it bothered her little. Her parents worked hard for the children's sake, and when her brother was old enough he followed in those foot steps and began to work as well in order to earn the family a little extra money. They had everything they really needed and she was happy enough for that, even if those around her had more then she did.

Things continued normally through her highschool years, she had some friends, she landed a simple job at a bookstore to earn some money of her own, she kept decent grades. Normal was truly the best way to describe it. However, they eventually came into some trouble. Her brother had unintentionally fallen into some less then reputable work and managed to piss off the wrong people in the process. While working at one of the city ports he managed to uncover an illegal shipment of weapons and miscellaneous contraband. The authorities mounted an investigation which lasted several long weeks, during this time tension within the family was high, mostly due to worry. When the investigation ended Gwen's brother was deemed innocent and two smugglers were arrested for the crime.

Things seemed to be normal for a time but as the months went by her brother began to grow more nervous, insisting there were people tailing him. Gwen eventually began to notice people apparently stalking around the home in the dead of night, then her parents began to take note of some shady people around their work places. Finally the rising events culminated in a late night break in of their home. Her brother and father attempted to fend off the intruders but said intruders had come armed. It became quickly apparent that this was no random robbery but an act of revenge by the gang who had their plans foiled several months ago. Her mother, father and brother were all killed that night, Gwen herself only holding onto her own life by a thread. The home was looted of its few valuables and things soon went quiet, that was when Gwen had her first meeting with a certain strange white animal.

The dieing girl was offered a single wish by the animal which introduced itself as Kyuubey. With her body aching in potent pain and the bodies of her family before her a single thought rose in her mind, without a single hesitant thought she spoke the words, “I want to take make them pay”. Those words which surely would have been her last sealed her contract with the strange white animal. Grasping the newly formed soul gem her body was yanked back from the edge of death with new found power. The girl moved instantly, chasing after and tracking the ones who had taken everything she cared for in a matter of moments. One by one she hunted them down and killed them with her own hands. After each kill she disposed of the body, dumping it in a river or leaving it to be devoured by rats. By the time it was dawn four were dead by her hands, the only thing left of each of them being a splatter of blood and a discarded corpse.

It however granted her little solace, she could no longer return home, it would be mere hours until her families bodies were found. And she had now awakened to a hidden world most would never know of, the world of magic and witches, all due to a single desperate wish. But still, she would not let herself regret it. Foolish as it may have been, hat wish had pulled her from the clutches of death and she would do all she could to not waste that new life. The girl has since lived day by day hunting witches within the city of Yules, the abilities granted from her wish giving her easy access to food and shelter, though where it would come from would vary day to day.

Weapon Abilities: A chain can be extended from the hilt of Gwen's sickle allowing it to be swung as a ranged weapon.

Magic Abilities:
Gwen's first ability is one she refers to as phasing or blinking. Through the use of her magic she has the ability to pass through solid objects at will and rapidly travel from one point to another. To one unaware of the world of magic it would appear that she merely vanished but to something such as another magi or a witch it would be recognizable blurred outline of herself moving from one point or another, however for most it would be too fast for the eye to follow. The maximum range of her blink is around one city block if entirely unobstructed or only obstructed by small objects(such as a light poll or mail box), but this is lessened depending on the amount of times she may need to phase through something like a wall. In addition, the thicker the object she wishes to phase through is the more energy she expends doing so, the same is applicable for the range of her blink, expending more energy the longer the range of the blink.

Her second ability is augmented vision, her magic allows her eyes to function in a way similar to infra-red technology if willed, allowing her to peer through solid objects. The ability however is not restricted to heat signatures, allowing her to do things like single out humans, animals, objects or magical signatures in her augmented vision. In her augmented vision ordinary humans and animals have a color signature of white, witches and those bearing a witches kiss being black, familiars being gray and other magical girls having a unique color signature which matches the color of their soul gem. This abilities maximum range is half a block but often becomes muddled and incomprehensible at such ranges if not focused directly on a single target. If active her augmented vision can also be overwhelmed by large amounts of magic resulting in searing headaches.
