Does a magical girl count as a monster girl for anti-monster girl Patrons if they proc Monstrous Metamorphosis? On that note, if a Beacon-aligned girl allies with Lily and Lily transforms, do they get excommunicated?
No, they wouldn't be excommunicated just for a metamorphosis. Beacon girls can actually use that perk too. Some of the more zealous ones might be prejudiced towards someone they know has it, but they won't see you as a monster.

Ah, so it only becomes a problem if the Monster part is permanent. That makes things easier.
Welp, that took a bit longer than I thought. Anyways, here we go. I'm going to leave Ula and Atlach for possible later use, perhaps, but for now Chloe and Isana are gonna be my main two. Might use Ula as a monster or something later, dunno.

(no she does not have a big scythe)
Name: Chloe Irving
Age (Magical Girl): 12
Age (Before Magical Girl): 23
Gender: Female
Gender (Before Magical Girl): Female
Appearance: Welp, for a twelve year old she's pretty well developed. Not that she particularly minds, she was pretty short and not so well endowed before. Actually, standing at roughly 4'9 she's about the same height. Being a midget sucks, when your not a kid so this is pretty great to her. As far as her costume goes, it leaves fairly little to the imagination, though she doesn't seem to really mind too much. Her dress entirely consists of just long, purple thigh-high stockings, along with long gloves that go to her shoulders. A simple, short skirt is all that covers her backside, and her chest is simply covered by a thin layer of purple metal. She sports blood red eyes, and her hair is typically tied back into a long ponytail. She often wears a somewhat superior, smug look.
A bit surprising, is that she's always had a thing for the more gothic style clothing, even outside of costume. She still continues this trend today, and often dresses up in elaborate styles.
Specialization: Spirit: Chloe has a specialization in spirits. Normally, she employ's it in the manner most might expect. Ghostly servants, poltergeists attacking foes. Things like that. However, she can also condense the Etheric energy that makes up such spirits into more direct attacks. After all, a leader that can't defend themselves and relies on lapdogs is no leader, but a coward hiding behind an army.
Weapon: The orb, was her first weapon and the weapon she was given upon becoming a magical girl. It can fit in the size of ones hand, and is cool to the touch. It's made out of some unknown, impossibly durable material and seems to err on the side of unbreakable. The inside shows a cool, dark void where sometimes things can be seen moving about. It acts as a channel for her magic as well as her favored form of attack.
She can control it with her mind, though it can't stray more than a few feet from its owner.
Her second weapon is a pair of ghoulish gauntlets Aside from massively increasing her physical strength, they tend to work quite well with her Spiritual abilities. They seem to radiate both an aura of terrible fear, and despair - upon looking at them one is filled with a terrible, terrible sense of dread. They are only used by her in the most dire of situations, or when other magical girls other than Isana aren't present.
Power: Third Eye: Chloe is able to sense, see, and basically understand all magic being used and has an extreme understanding of most magical artifacts. Illusions are pointless, know the type of magic someone is using at a glance, and generally be able to make an effective counter for most spells. It is quite useful in a support capacity, though one needs to be rather creative to use it offensively.
Focused Assault: (used gold coin) Chloe is able to condense her magic power into powerful strikes that have incredible piercing ability. This can take many forms - a blast of etheric energy, blasting someone in the face with one of her punches, or even giving a large spirit construct more energy and make it harder to deal with.
Perks: Wings: She has small, crystal looking like wings that grow from the back of the dress. They're able to shrink until they're not visible when not in use, and is able to grow to size to allow for flight fairly easily and within moments.
Enhanced Outfit: The rather, light, outfit of Chloe's allows for easier movement. It also has a small field of etheric energy around it constantly to deflect attacks and allow her to endure hits that might otherwise be problematic. Certainly not going to outlast true endurance, but it helps.
Big Damn Hero: What? Dark magical girls can be heroes too! Granted, perhaps they'll have more selfish reasons for doing such a thing. Giving out tokens to a person or affixing it to a place will allow her to always know when something is about to happen to it - with enough time to get there to defend it or help, if needed. Currently she has given her personal token to Isana, and isn't likely to change it anytime soon. As for the one to defend some place, well, she has yet to place it. Perhaps she could be convinced in some manner.
Blood Magic: (rolled 9 twice) Well, alright. Dark magical girls to tend to err on the darker side of things. Blood magic isn't entirely too farfetched for her, is it? Sacrifice life force for just that little bit more of magic in order to defeat someone. Dangerous, but effective as long as she doesn't get carried away.
Inter-dimensional Home: Her and Isana's personal little love nest slice of heaven. Able to access the simply furnished studio from anywhere with just ten seconds of concentration. Makes getting around fairly easily, no? Instant travel anywhere you want, almost. Just think of where you're trying to go from inside of it and boom, you're there. Pretty neat, huh? Too bad none of you guys will get in it, heh~
(Emergency Background) Sorcery Chloe has a fairly good grasp of all things relating to the spirit, divination, and other such esoteric practices. It allows her to do a number of small trickery things outside of her outfit, and gives her a fairly good grasp of magic in general.
Enhanced Transformation Chloe can transform in a fair few seconds, and doesn't even have to say the incantation, merely think it. Quite useful for surprise attacks and ambushes when people otherwise think you're helpless or unable to transform.
Mutations: Mental: Dominator If there's one thing Chloe likes, it's control. She absolutely craves it. A side effect of the Black Coin, but it's something she's always had a bit of a knack for anyways. She doesn't take orders from anyone fairly well, save Iesud and maybe Isana, but anyone else? No no, she can't do what they say. They'll fuck up. They'll fuck it up somehow. Aside from that, she has a fairly bad sadistic streak because of it.
Patron: Lesser Force: Ravager Iesud - an ancient, Grand Dragon, ordained by an ancient coalition of gods to once, long ago to destroy horrors and anything else 'unclean' in the world. Basically, a personal attack dog by the gods to destroy their enemies in exchange for giving the creature immense power. However, these gods do not exist any more and time has unfortunately weathered on both it and its principals, the vast number of evil things in the world tainting its very being. After waking from its long slumber, the dragon sees only one thing - unclean fifth, and those that do not serve it, will be burned to ash. It is patient, however, and is not foolish enough to think its powers rival those of others.
Patron Benefits: Payment Iesud's a dragon. He understands greed better than anyone. While he may have once been a servant of the gods, they paid the giant lizard well. He's amassed almost uncountable fortunes from the gods, as well as those he pillaged and plundered from in their name. He isn't afraid to throw around a few, necessary, assets and things at his servant to make them more...motivated.
Focused Originally a fire breathing dragon, while Iesud can still do that, after fighting so many horrors and other similar creatures it has changed somewhat. While not on the level of some purely-spirit entities, it understands such matters and helps his servant do so as well.
Mental Link Perhaps a bit paranoid, but Iesud always likes to know the status of things he has asked, as well as immediately inform his follower of something should it need it accomplished.
Patron Drawbacks: Rival Force As previously stated, Iesud desires to destroy all that is unclean. Horrors, other gods, and any who does not stand with him. While at one point the ancient dragon might have been much more merciful and allied himself with the Beacon, he only sees them as an opposing force that must be cleansed.
Limited It's just a single dragon, with a single magical girl in its service. It has vast amounts of money and treasure to be certain, but that's all. It can't provide any more. Any assistance and aid will have to come from Chloe's ability to convince others to work by herself.
Loud It's a dragon. It doesn't know the meaning of the word subtle.
Fighting Style: During battle, Chloe prefers a mostly ranged role. Harassing enemies from a distance with blasts of Etheric energy, and raising legions of the dead to attack the enemy while she aids from a distance. If she must, she'll fight at close range with her Gauntlets, which are surprisingly effective and could easily surprise an unprepared foe with their ability. If of course, she senses an opening with her Third Eye, she will change her battle plan accordingly.
Stats (Untransformed): These start at 3. CYOA options indicate if they apply out of costume as well. STR: 3 AGI: 3 VIT: 3 MAG: 3 LCK: 3
Personality: At first, Chloe would likely come off as...well, incredibly smug and high-opinionated. She thinks incredibly highly of herself, and most of the time puts herself on a pedestal. A bit of a cheeky brat as well, she loves causing a bit of mischief and just loves getting on peoples nerves just for the sheer satisfaction of seeing them squirm. In all, she's not exactly a person most people would tolerate being around long-term in case they could help it.
If someone was able to stick around long enough though, they'd find a surprisingly reasonable, calm, and levelheaded individual. A bit of a contradiction maybe? Perhaps, but a good leader doesn't just...not listen to the advice of their subordinates, no. They have the final say in the end of course, and it shouldn't be questioned, but any good leader knows when to heed advice or words of others.
History: Before she was a magical girl, Chloe wasn't much to speak of. A simple student without much prospect for the future, taking as many college courses as she could get grants for just to put off the inevitable. She had always thought, well, somewhat lowly of others and tended to never get along well with them. Well, one night on her way home something happened. She found herself at the mercy of a large, ash-white colored dragon, painful dark crystals were growing from its hide in several places.
It didn't exactly give her much of a choice in the matter, but it didn't matter one bit.
Power at the cost of serving a dragon? Well, who in their right minds would say no? He needed someone, and it had deemed her the best candidate.
After the fact, she was introduced to the Ebon Mint by one of their many agents, and in turn for potentially more power, all she had to do was work for them and inform them a bit about Iesud every now and then. Well. More money, and Iesud didn't seem to care. He'd take as many allies as he could, as temporary as they'd be.
Incantation: "Souls of the damned, dance and rend!"
other: Yandere intensifies
A massive beast, standing at least twice as tall as your average suburban home. Its scales are an ash-white color, and fairly impervious to any simple non-magical weapon. Painful, blood red crystals filled with magic seem to be growing on various parts of the dragons body.
Type: Lesser Force
Name: Iesud, the Ravager
Patron Benefits: Focused Hidden death Physical Prowess
Patron Drawbacks: Limited Loud Rival Force
Personality: Proud, somewhat arrogant and overall none to friendly to those outside of its little circle. Iesud sees everything that doesn't service him as unclean filth to be burned away and he will take whatever methods necessary to achieve that goal. Temporary alliances will be made if it will see to the end of one horror - perhaps even with other horrors, but it will never permanently ally themselves with such a force. In all, the dragon seeks to bring either the entirety of the world under its heel, and burn those that do not follow to nothing but ash.
To its followers, it's surprisingly amicable and friendly, or at least not violent - perhaps some of the dragons old self is still in there, after all these years.
History: Once, an instrument used by the gods to destroy both horrors and their enemies. When corruption and the evil of the horrors began corroding both his mind, principles, and purpose the ancient gods sealed him, unable to kill their once loyal friend and comrade. Years after they fell from their positions as gods, he woke alone - only humans and their filth covering the earth. Seeing no other option, the dragon declared that it would cleanse the humans, and bring about the end.
Resources: Just one magical girl is under his employment, for the moment. Payment comes in the form of money, items of value, as well as Coins. As far as mundane resources, it's rather empty aside from money.
@Rune_Alchemist I can see Iesud and Laat'AlOfan getting along decently
Quite possible. I could see them at least using each others assistance to bring about their desired agendas. Not sure about how it would end, but for awhile I could see them being allies.
