RP

---

The year is 2032. It's been ten years since the first Nephilim arrived. Without warning, without any identifiable reason, the earth came under attack by the immense alien life-form. It devastated Earth's defensive forces and brought immense destruction across the planet. Eventually, it came down to an experimental weapon developed by Doctor Kawaguchi Genji. Doctor Kawaguchi attacked the Nephilim with the weapon. He was successful in driving it off, but not before it took heavy damage and he perished in the fight. The weapon was a highly unique one: It ran on the principles of science, and was constructed with sophisticated technology. However, its methods of running and producing energy were unlike any that had ever been seen before. Only one word could describe the power that Doctor Kawaguchi had harnessed:

Magic.

The scientific community was in shock, but this wasn't the time for such things. Analysis of the attack indicated that this would not be the only Nephilim attack. An estimation of the time it would take for another attack to occur was released: Ten years. In ten years, the Nephilim would return, and it seemed to all that there would be no way to combat it. Worse still, it was speculated that this wouldn't be the only Nephilim.

It seemed like things were as bad as they possibly could be, until Doctor Kawaguchi's daughter, Kawaguchi Sumiko, stepped forward. She declared that she would take Doctor Kawaguchi's damaged weapon and his research, and prepare it for the future. Kawaguchi Sumiko's work received extensive government funding. The organization SEED was formed in order to facilitate her research and study methods to combat the Nephilim. The largest SEED base is in Tokyo, Japan, as that is where Sumiko lives and works. SEED has been preparing since its formation in 2023 for the return of the Nephilim. It has extensive anti-Nephilim measures, based off of data received after the first Nephilim attack. SEED's technology features small mecha and a variety of advanced weaponry. However, SEED's real hope has always laid on Doctor Kawaguchi's weapon.

Ten years later, and the Nephilim are about to attack once more. But that's not the only thing that's gone as predicted.

Kawaguchi Sumiko's work is finished at last.

So, um, some rules first!

-Magitech Girls working with SEED must be female, for reasons that will be revealed in the RP. In addition, they must be aged from ten to eighteen, no younger or older. Reasons for this will be revealed in the RP as well.
-Magitech Girls will start the RP without knowledge of their abilities.
-While magitech girls are the focus, players can play as SEED operatives. At the same time, I would like magical girls to be first character choice, so to speak. In addition, SEED operatives will not be as effective against Nephilim.
-Nephilim are not a playable character group, they will be handled by me.
-While the premise is serious and will be taken seriously, this RP is not intended to be dark and can be light-hearted and humorous at times even. Keep this in mind with signups.
-Realism is not a major concern of this RP at all.

Sci-fi and magical girls in one RP? Dammit Vita, stop making RPs I absolutely have to join!

Just as planned.

But, um, glad to have you on board! ^_^

Not sure if I should be checking the magical_girl or mecha_musume tags :\

Using them both draws up no results, so...

I'd go for mecha_musume, since that gives the more sci-fi stuff and has a lot of options that look magical too. Though I thing magical_girl has some tech-y ones too.

Interested. Already have an idea, just need the time to write it.

Like I said, just need to think up an idea. And not drawing something for this because seriously fuck drawing armour. D:

Armor is tough. ^^;

Wow, the plot of this reminds me heavily of Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Quick questions,
1: Is the "potential" of Magitech Girls something innate, or is it based entirely on the quality of their equipment/training?

2: Assuming things work the way I'm assuming, do things such as Anti-magic fields/particles exist?

3: How strong are we, relative to other Magical Girl series?

4: What is the power scaling of Magitech Girls vs Nephilim? Is it assumed that a single MG can handle one on their own, or is it something that requires teamwork and cooperation?

5: How effective are conventional weapons against Nephilim? Since there seems to be quite a technology-centric theme here, are we going to be seeing nuclear weapons or their like?

It's funny you should notice that, one of the inspirations actually was Evangelion. ^^;

1. The ability to be one is something innate that will be relevant later, the power level of a magitech girl is variable depending on the girl's self-confidence and synchronization with the gear(which has a lot to do with self-confidence).

2. Not as of yet, they don't.

3. Hm. I'm not entirely sure what kind of comparison I have in mind. I suppose I'd compare it to Nanoha(not the Nanoha supermodes, though) to start with? Not that we'll stay there as things go on.

4. Each Nephilim is unique, but for the most part it will probably take more then one magitech girl to take them out.

5. Again, each Nephilim is unique, so that depends. However, no conventional weapons are going to actually kill one, though they can help give the magitech girls a better chance. Nukes probably would be an absolute last resort, if anything.

Sooo, this is Neon Genesis Evangelion with magical girls. Neat.

Not as dark as Evangelion, but playing itself seriously with some lighthearted bits and humor, and definitely taking some inspiration from Evangelion.

Might as well throw my hat into this ring.

Hmmmmmm, Yes, gooooood. A+++ Vita.

Now I just need to decided on a power/theme...Do you have any examples of what you'd expect or like to see? I'm a little fuzzy on the specifics of the Magitech you are going for here and don't want to put effort in the wrong direction so to speak.

@KiltmanBagz: Well, powers would probably be... stuff like, say, remotely controlling magitech laser cannons. The magical part is how this technology is capable of functioning using magic as a source of power and firing lasers and even getting more powerful with higher confidence levels and that kind of thing.

Name: Musashibo Ayaka
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Appearance: In MagiGear.
Personality: Ayaka is the type to take things aggressively seriously. Her schoolwork, her sports, she's pretty serious about it. Not that she can't relax and calm down otherwise, that's certainly not the case. But when it comes to what she feels is her duty, or something important to her, she's very serious about it. Ayaka can also be rather irritable, insulting others if they get her angry enough and tending to react with great irritation to perceived stupidity. Of course, this is actually because she wants others to be safe and sensible rather then just wanting to insult others. Ayaka can also be rather taunting towards others, something of a tease when she's not annoyed or doing something she feels is serious. Ayaka is driven by a will to succeed and do her best, to keep going and never stop. She does not accept failure from herself.
Brief Backstory: Ayaka was born to a pair of researchers who worked with Kawaguchi Genji on his radical new systems and technologies. Both parents had a high drive for success and were highly intelligent, things they instilled into their daughter from a young age. Especially her father, who encouraged her to always do her best and never accept failure. Her father's drive led to him remaining with Doctor Kawaguchi as he hastily worked to complete his weapon against the Nephilim. Her mother, too, remained. While her mother was injured, but alive after the following attack by the Nephilim, her father disappeared. Since then, Ayaka's drive to succeed has grown even further, to respect the wishes of her disappeared father and her still-present mother and excel beyond anyone else. Her mother has received word from SEED, recently, about something very, very important...
Abilities: Ayaka is a member of the tennis club and is excellent academically.
Powers: Ayaka has high-levels of self-confidence, resulting in a high level of synchronicity for her MagiGear. As with all magitech girls, she is capable of flight in her MagiGear, and her personal ability is the generation of lasers independent of her MagiGear, currently rather small. As per usual, MagiGear is still required to actually make use of this ability, but her weapon is not. Ayaka's MagiGear, labeled Demolition Girl, is decently durable and allows for quick motion.
Weapon(s): Ayaka's weapon is a large sword, charged with energy and capable of dealing a great deal of damage when used as both a slashing or piercing attacks. It has a second mode, where the blade opens and unfurls and it transitions to a fully-ranged energy cannon, producing thick beams of magical energy that tear through opponents. The modes are called Sword Form and Blast Form, respectively, triggered by a voice command.

Work in progress, hopefully will have her up as an example sometime soon.

Ah, okay then, could a characters 'power' then be the use of and manipulation of Magical force fields? (That is sort of where I am leaning character concept wise at the moment.)

That would be fine, yes.

just so I don't come back tomorrow to find someone beat me to it, just putting out there that I'm working on an electric-power girl.

Bio edited. ^^; Backstory still needs to be filled in up there's a good example of abilities now.

You people say Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Me?

I SAY SYMPHOGEAR~! <3

That being said, I think I'll be making a SEED person, because I'm assuming that we'll have a metric ton of magitech girls. Depends on whether the number exceeds 7, I guess. How many magical girls are there, in total? And what's the magical girl distribution, generally? Are they concentrated in certain areas (capital cities, etc)? Or are they spread more thinly out?
