Angels exist in this world, and, in the year 2121, progress by scientific and technological experts have created the Lovely Angelica system, a virtual reality that, with the help of brave souls the world over, would drawn in both benevolent and malicious spirits and bond Angels, or the purest of body-less spirits, with a young adult to better fight, contain and reason with dangerous supernatural phenomenons.

Outfitted with a special Angelic Suit, each pure pair would learn to grow with each others, solving mysteries and battling the evil and corrupt in an effort to lessen the growing catastrophes linked to the world due to an overabundance of dark energy. Unfortunately, the opposite of a Lovely Angelica, a Wicked Lucinelle, is a very real thing, when miscalculation are made due to the character of a test subject and temptations are grasped, a dark duo is made, bent of the corruption and destruction of humanity as we know it. Abominations, they are possessed young persons that must be purified of dark and selfish thoughts.

You are one of the initial subjects, and will have to fight your own darker nature to find the light and save the world, will you defeat temptation and become a proud Lovely Angelica? Only time can tell!

With a Karma system and a series of Abilities Cycles, your character will change as the game progress, maturing and bettering him or herself and, hopefully, reaching their full potential. Will you be ready to live a double life for the good of the world?

could you please explain karma system and Ability cycles?

Of course!

The Karma System will be a way to find whether each character is more Lovely or Wicked, with the resolving of each episode or mission being the bringer of either Good or Bad Karma. The whole roleplay will be separated in small episodes, and each episodes will have a series of moral choices that will change the Karma Result at the end of said episode.

Abilities Cycles is a sort of Skill Three, but instead of choosing a particular ability in increasingly powerful forms, each ability will be unique and grow stronger the more Cycles are completed. Each Cycle will have five layers, upon which one ability must be chosen after each episode in subsequent layers, one by one, to reach the Ability Core and complete a cycle. Upon reaching the Ability Core, a small task will be had out of time to reach the next Cycle. Think of it like a side quest or a mini boss, depending.

Do you have other questions?

do you make up abilities cycles or do you? If you do can I see a list of them?

It's still a work in progress, actually, and so I could be swayed to add or remove some on demand. Is there anything you would like to see?

no I am however still interested

Gonna drop some interest into the thread. Grow, blossom, prosper, etc.

Not interested in, but would Wickeds be playable or simply GM controlled antagonists?

interested as well, you had me at Mecha i the title :)

They are playable, but since the focus is on the Lovely, they would become playable antagonists.

I like the look of this, so I'm so In!

Here is the initial Lovely Cycles, everyone! Those will be for the first five Episodes!

LOVELY CYCLES

BUDDING
Cherubic Health – Possess one more Health Attribute
Beginner’s Luck – Guaranteed Item find at the end of each Episodes.
Pure Heart – Ability to understand all living beings.
Melodic Ears – Ears everything that is said about you at all time. Do not work with thoughts.
Eagle Eyes – See far into the distance without straining yourself.

BLOSSOMING
Heavenly Poise – Convince a NPC to do as you say once an Episode, as long as it is not harmful to them.
Contagious Laughter – Diffuse an hostile event by laughing once an Episode.

Heavenly Chant – Boost your fellow Lovely stats by 200% for three turns once an Episode.

GLOWING

Playful – Permanently augment your ability to befriend others by one attempt per potential ally.
Morpheus' Gift – Sleeping do not take any round to end, and takes half as much rounds to complete (2 Health Points regained per Round).

Righteous Command – Take dual control of one of your allies to boost their actions for the next Round.
Mournful Dirge – Bring your fell allies back from the dead in a different body once an Episode. Does not work for other Lovelies.

Okay, so now I'm a bit confused. Just to clarify, we gain an Ability after each episode, so I'm to assume we'll end up with one from Budding, Blossoming, Blooming, Glowing, and Floating by the end of the first five Episodes?

That way each character can be customized as we see fit?

Also, would I be wrong to hope for more offensive related abilites, ie, Holy Smite and the like?

Looks good to me.

Surprisingly, this seems very intriguing to me. I would like to join you, whenever you begin.
