By the way, if anyone wants to make 1-on-1 conversations in the RP I recommend collaborating them through a shared document, like Titanpad, for example. That way we can spare the IC a bit of cluttering. Of course, it can also be used for making conversations between bigger groups if someone wants to go that crazy.

I must admit, I do not believe that the Incubator would tell the “fine print” of the contract which she’d take. I am pretty sure that an Incubator would simply pretend that Magical Girls just vanish if they don’t take care of their Soul Gems with suitably vague sentences like “Your life will end”, which isn’t technically a lie. … Though, Violet may be intelligent enough to figure out the truth on her own before even making her wish, and assuming that this might be possible. However, I can’t ever remember a time where an Incubator has ever said “That wish is impossible”. Well, except the one time he went “That wish shouldn’t be possible!” yet it happened anyways. Honestly, I think the “I wish magical girls, after becoming witches, returned to normal humans and didn't die when they were killed as witches” might actually be a BETTER wish than the one Madoka made at the end of the show. ‘Cause, it can’t be a challenge for the Incubators to just make an additional girl into the world, could it? Oh, well. I have absolutely zero idea what an Incubator does if a wish is “beyond the capability of the Magical Girl”, since neither Magica show I’ve read/watched has any examples of that. Hah.
Other than that, that’s a pretty intimidating character you’ve made there. Even if she didn’t learn of the truth before transforming, her wish itself makes it so she instantly learns the truth anyways. Lies and deceit are no use against her, eh? Does that mean she’d instantly locate a hidden Monika? Haha. Poor girl, her one advantage can get instantly cancelled. In any case. You’ll also get to ask people of their weaknesses and planned futures, because you need them as you can see them instantly. Gosh. XD … Still, yeah, it’s your wish and as such it’s your privilege to do so. It’s a nice wish, and one I can definitely envision a character such as yours making. … Gosh, that’s a harsh story. You sure she only has 21% despair after all that? Gosh. Just… just gosh. In any case. I rather like it, although I’m unsure how it will play in the game itself. I wish you good luck. Haha.

- Actually, that's really brilliant. I'll change that. It never occurred to me to have her learn about Witches because her wish would let her know he was hiding something. I considered something along the lines of "the girl's soul disappears" instead but decided against it, so I'll definitely change it. - I had just planned on using information from posts that Violet wouldn't be aware of to be the weaknesses. Like the witch actually being a familiar, for example. Actually asking everyone about weaknesses seems too OP to me so I wasn't planning on it, and the predicting the future part I plan to do from the same information I just mentioned for weaknesses. Especially since it's just from her estimating likelihood based on information she gets, rather than a direct effect of her wish. - I got 21% from Cleo, so unless that gets changed... I had originally suggested higher but after the first wish got rejected I got scared. :P
@DarkwolfX37 Heh, I'm glad I could be helpful in some way.
...
... Hm, though now that I consider it... What does happen when two wishes clash? Because, Violet here has supreme insight to see through anything, but Monika's wish was pretty straight "Don't let them find me", which prevents her from being found... Would she be able to see through Monika's "illusion"? Which would get priority? Violet's for being more powerful Threads of Fate wise? Monika's due to having a wish that is more focused on it's single goal of not being found? Violet's on the single basis of being a counter? Monika's due to being made later and therefore getting priority over previous wishes? ... Heh.
I think that whichever makes the most sense to win over two wishes should. Considering Monika's wish, Violet would likely take precedence, because seeing truth would make more sense.
It would be the same for, say, someone wishing to shield their soul, or something along those lines that protects their soul. If Megumi were to try and do something to the soul, the other girls would take precedence because of Megumi' wish.
Just an opinion.
In other news, I will have another post up when I get home.
@DarkwolfX37 Violet is still looking cohesive, but going over her backstory again I have a few thoughts to phrase as questions. There's no need to answer these, because the sheet is already fairly clear about them, but they might help add flavour next time you do a sheet.
-Did Violet's abuse from peers stem from select individuals bullying her on a personal level, being ignored or cast out by the wider school(?) community, parental disappointment, or something else? -What was she like before her misanthropy became prevalent, or was it always present and just intensified as others responded to it? -Violet is protective of youth due to her brother's accident. Does she blame the infant's parents for allowing him to go neglected? -How has her ability to detect emotions changed her views towards others, adults, her parents? Does she see the good in some of them or is it drowned out by lies and hate? Is it too early to tell?

I was going to go with it as Violet not actually seeing Monika, but seeing how the things around her were affected as if there was something there if such a situation occurred.
I've been feeling like the sheet was a bit small, so I'll add some more detail. Thank you for the methods to do that. None of that had even crossed my mind.
@DarkwolfX37 Well, that was mostly because having her COMPLETELY erased from the world of detection would make Monika's power pretty unfair, I feel. Haha.
@PlatinumSkink If she had enough ToF I think that could be possible. Similar to how Reimu has the power to "fly" in Touhou; she can extend the power to fly out of reality, practically making herself invincible.
To be fair, all of the 2hus have insane amounts of power that would be considered OP if they weren't all kept in check by each other and the spell card system.
The playable characters would have 10 ToF and some of the final bosses would number in the three digit figures, if that makes any sense.
Personality: Lidia is a determined, slightly shy girl with a big(ish) heart. She isn't overly malicious, but she isn't afraid to take drastic action if she is required to. She takes being a Magical Girl very seriously, even if she hasn't been one for very long. Thanks to her experience, she lost the consciousness of her body, despite still keeping up appearances. She is still training, and has been trying to spend more time fighting Witches. However, it's still hard for her, and she isn't very experienced at winning, and more losing.
Afflictions: None yet
Wish: "I wish people would stop being mean, and just be attracted to me... I want them to be my friends, not my enemies!"
This wish made her a center of attention, and pretty much caused everyone she met to like her. However, it also attracted a lot of unwanted attention (read bio). Her wish, though, seemed to relate to her emotions, as after the incident the effects seemingly wore off.
Biography: Lidia was born as the only child in Danzig. She has spent all her life so far living with her parents, so there was almost nothing to trigger the Incubators arrival.
When it did arrive, though, Lidia had been living through a time where she was constantly bullied. It was mainly because of her tastes in music, fashion, entertainment, everything. When the Incubator did come, bearing a wish, she spent a while considering. She refused to make a wish to fix the bullying, since it would mold her to be a stronger person. However, past that type of wish, she could think of no alternatives.
So, she made the wish, making sure to word it carefully as to not cause problems.
The next day of school, people flocked to her, talking with her, complimenting her tastes; being genuinely friendly for the first time. There was a significant increase in people asking her out, writing love letters, etcetera - all of which she turned down. She felt she wasn't ready for a relationship at that time.
About a couple months after becoming a Magical Girl, and still being terrible at Witch killing, she was attacked. It was some guy from a higher year, who she had previously turned down. Quite harshly me might I add, even though she didn't mean to.
He drugged her with something, and forced himself onto her. When she awoke, she realised something inside of her; a determination she never knew she had, past her broken spirit and terrified mind. It made her realise what people were like, and what she would have to do to be stronger.
Lidia had her parents enroll her in self-defence classes, which she excelled in, and she eventually moved on to sword fighting. As she did, though, her hold on people around her began to deteriorate. Her friends left, and the bullying resumed. Her wish collapsed in on itself, but she refused to let it break her.
It's been about a year, and she is still bad at killing Witches. Somehow, the training just hasn't translated.
Skills: Just gonna keep this short.
She is excellent at sword fighting (and I mean, very, very good. Scarily good. She could cut your head off in a flash with her blade, so… Don't get on her bad side). She is a very skilled fighter, especially self defence wise, and has a high pain tolerance. She is decent at academics, and has quite high stamina. As well, she is quite determined and charismatic, so she could be a leader if she really wanted.
She is still shit at Witch killing.
Threads of Fate: 5
Magical Weapon:
A short sword, with a long enough hilt to double as a spear. The sword always has a magnetic attraction to Lidia, so she can retrieve her weapon from seemingly anywhere. She also has a metal gauntlet on her left hand, which is used as a type of shield.
Experience: 2
Magical Ability:Magnetos: Lidia can create and control a magnetic charge, which she can manipulate within a small radius around herself. This ability allows manipulation of metallic objects, even those that are not normally affected by magnetic influence. As well, by overworking the ability, she can cause static build up and create electricity, which she can also manipulate (think the Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars 6, provided there is enough build up before hand). This electricity can be stored in somewhat of a buffer, to be used at a later date.
Secondary - Leaps and Bounds: By utilising the static build up, Lidia can give herself controlled electric shocks to stimulate parts of her body. Thanks to this, she has seemingly unlimited energy, and can fight long after she should have been put out of action from fatigue or injury. She can use it to give herself different sensations, elicit different emotions, and cause a variety of other effects.
