In short, this is a magical girl roleplay. Magic's always around and draining into the world from somewhere, but occasionally there's 'bursts' and if this burst catches a living organism it can, under the right conditions, turn it into a ravenous monstrosity that wants nothing more than to consume. Generally life, but there are exceptions. These are Voids.
To combat this, people developed martial arts techniques that unknowingly hacked into magic, leading to such scenarios as jumping to the top of a building, or using a tree as a club. Unlike actual brute force, the magic involved meant this could hurt Voids, who left behind pure raw materials for again unknown reasons. There's almost nobody left who can do this, because it takes an immense amount of focused training and the right aptitude, and...
The raw materials got turned into items, which can bond with people on unknown criteria. Through some method--at first generally 'desperation' due to being about to be devoured but later fine-tuned--these objects can induce transformations. Mostly armour and weaponry, with more special attacks being developed as you get used to controlling magic and the weapon itself. These are known as Relics. Given the lack of training, they supplanted martial arts.
Because they were made at wildly different times, as different items, the scope for transformed appearances is huge. With religious idols, you can get relics patterned after gods, for instance. The relics can either be some legendary item, or something more generic. The only gap is steampunk, since it went from around Newton to modern-day.
Character Options:
I'll be accepting at most eight people, if there's that much interest, and everyone's got to have someone that can do something. Nobody playing all-support, for instance.
*Excalibur, Pandora's Box, and the Aegis. Excalibur has particular character requirements, too.

Character Options:
- SAGA Magical Girl: Three of these, whose Relics are all newly-developed and probably the most magitechy of the lot.
- Martial Artist: Only one, this is the person that dealt with the initial reappearance.
- Unaware Magical Girls: The people who, currently unaware of SAGA, nevertheless have both the ability to use a Relic and own one. Unless the potential relic is one of those in SAGA's possession*, or the Imperial Regalia of Japan (for obvious reasons, nobody's getting to use those three)
- Support: Supporting characters! Can be anything.
