@Natsu: When you get the backstory done I'll give it my judgement.

How many more did we want?

Yeah, gonna do my background tonight, but I was concerned if we even had enough to get off the ground

I will be honest and say I was hoping for... at least a few more players.

I need to get stuff figured out I guess. ^^;

I think the issue is that it's a battle RP. I've been waiting for a magical girl game for awhile, but these ten to flare up and not last long. Plus, this doesn't seen to have a lot of rules that moderate battle and player interaction. It sounds like it's gonna be hard to do anything but fight.

Name: Amelia Serrai
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Appearance:Normal
Personality: If there is one word to describe Amelia, it would be 'content'. She is a generally happy person who doesn't stress too much and enjoys the simpler things in life. When doing something she cares about she is passionate and animated, and when she is not she's more willing to just go along with things while wearing a smile, helping out her friends, trying new things, and simply enjoying the world as it is.

Yet even someone like her has a wish. It's just a matter of realizing it
Skills: Writing, music, gaming
Brief Backstory: A girl with no reason to be a magical girl, seemingly, Amelia nonetheless found herself as one through a series of events. Entrusted with a special power and a mission, Amelia was quick to find herself engrossed in the magical girl lifestyle, fighting monsters, protecting people, and serving as the heroine of her town with the help of a few of her friends that she let in on the secret. Having moved up in school, facing increased pressures from homework, activities, and actual work, she has nonetheless done her best to carry on as a magical girl, and do what needs to be done to protect those she cares about

Magical Girl Appearance: Rising light
Concept: Devotion
Archetype: Phoenix
Abilities: Amelia is a fairly balanced magical girl, one that combines decent utility abilities with some offensive power. Her combat focuses on at range battle rather than melee combat, flowing from the staff that she uses in combat. It channels her magic and lets her unleash the majority of her spells, though in a pinch she can use her own body in exchange for a physical cost. Though she is aware that she should have more powerful abilities, she has never been pushed to the point where she has needed to find out what they were.

• Featherfall - Wings of fire are made to sprout from Amelia's back, allowing her to take to the skies and soar
• Fire Burst - Does what it says on the tin, launching a blast if fire from her staff. The size and intensity can vary depending on the amount of energy she puts into it
• Star Ignition - Amelia focuses the rays of the sun through her staff, creating what is effectively a solar powered beam attack that can scorch and burn through whatever it strikes with devastating results.
• Darkened Breath - For those times when Amelia does get in close, this spell unleashes a cloud of ash that engulfs the area, either allowing her to escape or to take the fight to the enemy while they're blinded. It dissipates after a short time if she doesn't use it again.

I think I'm pretty close to done, just might tweak things if I have a better idea but at this point this is what I'm going with. Sorry it took so long

@Natsu: The RP, while it will have battle as a focus, is not purely about battling and nothing else.

@Flamelord: Looks good, accepted!

@VitaVitaARWell, i prob went too nuts, but here's the app so far that i have! Though if there are any suggestions for a second offensive ability...i am very open to things in that regard. If she needs another one, i mean.

Heck, i am open to if i need to make an entirely different magical girl powerset idea and such, if needed.

Oh jeez i am nervous about this app....

• Name: Sakura Miyamoto
•
• Age: 16
•
• Gender: Female
•
• Personality: Sakura is a generally relaxed sort of person, the kind who seems to go with the flow to an extent, popping up their head into the action and conversations and such as she sees fit. In public she has been generally seen as a decent individual, albeit clashing with a few of her more rowdy peers, though behind closed doors she has been dealing with some matters that have weighted heavily on her mind. A crush on one of the most popular girls in school, being crushed on and romantically pressured constantly by her similarly-aged stepsisters (who are twins), and her beloved birth father’s cancer that has caused the man to wither seemingly before her eyes over the years as the most pressing things weighing on her personally.

In her attempt to cope she has taken to using her healthy allowance from her wealthy stepfather to indulge much more in “pleasures” to de-stress herself. Such “pleasures” include various chocolates, silk robes, and similar things that her stepfather and her own mother have shrugged off as normal without seeing the real problems she is facing emotionally. Even so, she feels she is managing in keeping “afloat” generally speaking, and has taken to the idea of being a magical girl with gusto. However, she also feels a burning desire to acquire her wish as well, that of restoring her birth father to full health.
•
• Skills: She is a good swimmer, and has some surprising “rich girl” funds that could be useful for her as well. Overall a good student, she can be relied on as a generally intelligent person...albeit she isn’t a valedictorian.
•
• Brief Backstory: Sakura was born the daughter of American mother and immigrant Holly Masterson and birth father Jonathan Miyamoto (a Japanese-descended American man). However, her birth father was diagnosed with cancer when she was aged at 7 years old, to which her mother decided to divorce the man to “avoid the heartache”. It broke her birth father’s heart, and Sakura’s as well, though her mother was hiding all the hurt underneath as she put on a stoic face in front of everyone. Then her mother then remarried to a close penpal/friend she had made many years ago on a trip to Japan, which friend was now a Japanese billionaire named Morimoto Homura. Morimoto’s wife had died due to cancer herself, and left him with two twin stepdaughters, Kohaku and Hana, to care for alone. This resulted in Sakura and her mother moving to Japan and into Morimoto’s luxurious home.

Sakura struggled to adjust at first, though she thought it a blessing of being allowed to visit her birth father back home often as a condition of her mother’s divorce, with her stepfather calmly helping her pay for these trips to America out of sincere goodwill. Her father, despite at times being bedridden, started off decently well in health, playing with her, telling her stories before bed and tucking her in with a kiss on the forehead. To be truthful, she loved her birth father more than her stepfather, though her stepfather proved to be a kind man at heart who managed to get on her good side over time. This all being said, as Sakura’s birth father’s health deteriorated, her new stepsisters began to gain an unwanted and taboo “interest” in her personally despite being “sisters” legally speaking.

Combined with a crush she has had on a girl at her home school for wealthy children as she turned 13, these combined things in her life have put immense pressure on her by this point in time. However, with an opportunnity presenting itself to get a heartfelt wish completed, she has gone off to participate in a certain event as a result.
•
• Magical Girl Appearance:

•
• Concept: Flow
•
• Archetype: Laplace’s Demon
•
• Abilities: Her powers as a magical girl allow her to, in summary, alter the “state” of things to a past or future state via the reversal or acceleration or other alteration of the flow of time. This power is normally enacted on targets via “time bullets” she fires from her weapons, which only affect what they physically touch or pass through rather than behaving like normal firearm bullets. For example, one of these “time bullets” would pass through the wall of a building they were fired at, leaving an eroded empty hole where the part of the wall was eroded away, whilst the rest of the wall remained normal and intact without issue. She can also enact her powers’ effects through physical touch.

Her weapons can also alternately fire regular magical energy “bullets” to cause damage and such as well, mainly as a built-in measure to avoid dealing too much environmental damage with her weapons when using.

This all being said, as a rule of thumb her powers cannot alter the chronological age of other living people, including magical girls, save for herself alone if she wills it. However, this “cannot alter other peoples’ age” rule does not apply to monsters or beasts or similar non-human things.

She uses a pair of sleek, futuristic looking pistols as her main weapons, and has a gatling-gun-styled rifle on her back that she can bring out to fire at an extremely rapid rate.

Sea of Time- Her most common combat move for offense. She temporarily summons multiple gatling-gun style rifles like hers in the air, essentially summoning many future states of the weapons she has all at once temporarily using her power. Upon doing so they all fire a barrage of magical bullets in a constant stream for a temporary time. Overall this is just a big but temporary area attack, albeit more like a “bullet hell” in effect as well.

Giga Timebreaker- A “desperation move” of hers, only used in such a capacity to finish off foes or in a desperate situation or if she feels finishing off an opponent fast is her only chance or similar situations. She affects the flow of time around (but not inside) her body, speeding it up or slowing it, to cause her to move faster or slower as a result to some exponential extent. It puts a lot of physical strain on her even as a magical girl, but can prove handy in facing speedy or tough foes. This move also produces illusory clones taking different potential moves that she could have when this power is activated. This means the move is also meant to confuse the enemy, though again the strain limits her to less than 1 minute bursts of use at most.

Cloak of Time’s Perdition- A clear, watery-like barrier forms around her protectively, and in the thin space in which the barrier’s exists time is completely frozen. Attacks and things like bullets and swords are as such literally stopped in place by the barrier, rather than being “blocked” like a normal barrier might do. From here, any trapped attacks/weapons are redirected into the ground or are dissipated (in the case of something like an energy attack) when the barrier is deactivated or dissipated itself, but until then remain trapped in frozen time in contact with the outside of the barrier.

Retroactive Restoration- Through physical touch or contact with one of her “bullets” fired with this attack imbued into it, a target’s body’s healing abilities are stimulated (including the production of stem cells oddly enough) and then are accelerated extremely through the acceleration of time in order to mend them of injuries and damage they took. This does not age the target(s) of this ability at all, but acts as a potent healing ability that can even regenerate organs or regrow limbs. Of course, using this ability too often can drain her stamina and power as a magical girl, due to its innate potency.

Reconstitute Restructuring- An area-of-effect power used via physical touch to “repair” nonliving things and other objects by reverting them to a past “optimal” state of existence. Something like restoring a trashed building to its former glory is one example, or repairing a broken bridge, etc. Though this could also be used on something like a modern firearm to revert it to a “state” where it was still loaded as well, to give a potential combat use.

Stagnation of Self- A temporary “invulnerability”-like state of sorts tied to locking her into her current state of being at the point in time she activates this. This ability lasts for one minute. Whilst it is active it means that even conceptually her existence cannot be “changed” at all during that time, for change requires the passage of time to go from one state of existence to another, this ability has one major flaw.

When the ability’s effect fades, all the things that were done to her body by other attacks and such are all enacted on her......simultaneously. So being hit by 100 bullets and a transformation-canceling power would all hit her at once after this ability’s effects fades, as one example of a potential situation she could run into. It is better noted as an ability for “stalling the effects of other abilities and the damage of attacks” in being applied to her for a brief time. However, if she is already hurt when using this ability she remains hurt of course.

This ability can be a double edged sword depending on the situation in which it is used.

@Crusader Lord: Hmmm...

This is a bit difficult to judge, because time powers are always a bit of a sketchy area. I can't... quite decide how to go with this, so take this as an update to let you know I'm considering the bio rather then a decision one way or another.

@VitaVitaAR I mean, if the powers are a no-go i'll make a new set altogether. It's no problem. ;)

I hope the bio isn't too nuts, though, having a bit of darkness in it and all. ^^;

@VitaVitaAR and me?

@Crusader Lord: I'm focusing on the powerset for now. I'm kind of uncertain because again, time stuff, but not 100% one way or the other yet.

For anyone else, I'd *really* like one or two more characters, so if you can rope anyone else in...

@Natsu: Oh right, sorry.

If she's not going to be Japanese, can you explain how she ended up here? I should have asked the same of @Flamelord.

There's magical girls from other countries, but it's just that Japan doesn't have as many different ethnic communities as a country like, say, the US.

Ah, I wasn't sure how international the event was supposed to be, given the description that was involved in the OP (the amount of magical girls involved and this being a once every 20 years type thing. I'd say her parents relocated for work then, though I'm not opposed to just changing the name.

@Flamelord: It is open to anyone to show up, but this particular Hex Night is specifically held in Japan.

I thought it was implied by the end of my Back Story that, once she heard the Hex Night was happening, she went to Japan, but if it's not, I can make it explicit.

@Natsu: I didn't realize. ^^;

@Natsu: But to elaborate that explanation is fine.
