@Suneli

Im not sure what the GMs think, but a friend of mine has a card themed magical girl in another RP (who uses tarot), so it can work. Maybe you can expand on it even further with a seer/fortune teller girl?

So a little new to the forum but rather interested in this, want to check if there are any spots free before I begin work on my sheet. For my basic idea I have something along these lines:

The magical girl in question is about 13 years old, as a child she was abandoned on the streets and to this day doesn't know who her parents are. Fortunately one of the London prostitutes stumbled upon the starving little girl and took her in, convincing the matron she worked for to let her sleep in one of the storerooms at the brothel. That is where the girl crew up as a sort of surrogate daughter of the women who worked there with them teaching her various skills like math and how to read.

At the start of this RP this girl would be a relatively new magical girl, with her working as an assistant to the local doctor who serviced the brothel with the ultimate goal of saving enough money to go to medical school as her adopted family want her to not have to do the work they do.

As for general powers and theme they will be based around medical things. So expect scalpels as melee weapons, maybe a bonesaw and vials of medicine for healing people.

@Suneli That idea has potential if it's fleshed out. While it's pretty complicated, the fact that you're willing to work with GMs shows you're serious about keeping things fair. Plus the randomness could be an interesting weakness, if she gets the wrong type of magic for a particular situation.

It'd be tricky, but as Majora's End said, it can work for RPs. That and yes there could be some low-level prediction involved, although I'd keep it pretty vague and limited to the near future.

Two suggestions for how to make the concept workable and relatively simple: One is her weapon could be a deck of cards that turn into projectiles when thrown (I had a magical girl in another RP who did this with playing cards). Every so often, she can use a card to predict an enemy's move, but the vision is very brief and the ability has a cooldown period of several minutes. Every day, she also gets a random slight boost or alteration to her abilities based on a Major Arcana card, of which she'd only start out with a few. They could also have disadvantages - the Strength card, for example, could trade her predictions for increased attacking power.

The other suggestion is that the random card determines her weapon/item for the day, based on the four Minor Arcana suits: a sword, a baton, a disc or a cup. Each would have their strengths and limits - sword would deal physical damage and be for close combat, wand or staff could channel magical energy attacks, throwing disc would make her a ranged fighter that day, and a cup could contain a potion that would buff or heal allies but would have no offensive use. She'd have to train a lot to adapt her fighting style accordingly. You could also include the prediction thing though, that would be a constant.

Hope that helped, and I'm up for chatting if you want to discuss ideas :)

@Sinsystems Nice, a healer! I was wondering if we were going to get one. That magic is creative, and I like the background, it fits the gritty but ultimately hopeful feel of this RP.

The only issue is, she may be a bit too young. SimpleWriter and I envision the characters generally being between 15-19 years old, although there can be a few older exceptions, like Veronica. So she could be 15, maybe 14 if you feel it'd work best with her being the youngest?

Anyway, looking forward to seeing the CS!

Maybe if I decide not to go through with my vampire girl, I can see about working with an assassin? Or could I play with the whole Jekyll and Hyde thing and see how that goes?

My last magical girl show was probably Sailor Moon related. One of the remakes.

Well, here we go. I'm not sure if I'll use both of these girls, or settle on only one of them. And I'm not sure I've got everything just right, appearance and magic-wise. But here's some things posted for review or whatever else. And the magical girl show i saw most recently was probably Flip Flappers.

Well I'd suggest keeping in mind the time period and setting this RP is set in, since your character is dark skinned that would naturally result in having a more troubled life in London as Racism would still be pretty strong. If you want you could probably swing for a classic of a white noble falling in love with a black servant, a bit of forbidden romance that results in a baby and the resulting scandal that could define your early life.

Also @SimpleWriter the discord link in the first post has expired.

@Sinsystems Seems Alright by me. The only thing that has me confused is this:

these two blades can cut flesh with great ease and are perfect for both combat and healing.


Are you speaking of cutting as healing because of surgery, or do they have magical properties that allow you to heal with them? Just have to be sure here. Wait for @LuckyBlackCat 's approval to post in CS Tab!

@Suneli I feel like you focus a bit too much on being ''fair'' and ''not overpowered''. Those are definetely rules, but they're also much more a guideline. I wouldn't necessarily mind if your Power was a one shot kill anything as long as it's properly used and difficult to perform - high risk/high reward kind of thing. The thing though is people that go that route has to prove they can write compelling characters and fight scenes without abusing their powers. It's very do-able.

I'm saying this mostly because when I read the description for the Hanged Man's, that's what I was feeling with all the restrictions that seems to be a bit random and too complicated for the Magic. I absolutely love the idea of the random powers for the Tarot Cards draw. I do not even deem it necessary to be one power per day.

I would have gone with something more akin to being able to draw cards as much as she wants, but can only draw the same card once per day, let's say. With that route, you could even start with a bigger cards decks and make the pwoers a bit simpler, but have more.

Or you could go with a different limitation - such as your Pixie's magical reserve.

In the end, it's your decision. Your character can be accepted as it is, just keep me updated on what you decide to do, okay? OS: I just love that face claim.

@Mistress Dizzy Hey ! That can happen. Personally, I tend to go fish for pictures or musics that strikes or inspire me, and I flesh out a character from there. I hope that can help.
EDIT:

@Killy Sorry! I missed it ! No personality? Is it still a WIP? Just gotta be sure.

The constructs are a bit liek Green Lantern's constructs? Also, there's one thing bothering me a bit. The Pixie's transformed state is supposed to be something mundane to hide as. Marilyn can totally rock a Crown if you so wish it, I just need to specify.




Did I miss anyone? It would very much be like me. Sorry if I did, just poke me anywhere !

Also, again, I strongly encourage everyone to join the Discord if you are able to. :P Even if you are not too active, I try to build of a small community of nice people and it's easier to everyday discussions as well as RP updates. @Sinsystems THank you for the update, I will see to it to post a non-outdating one.

Ok, sorry for the delay everyone ^^; Anyway...

@Sinsystems I like it, although yeah the "healing cutting" thing needs clearing up. Am I right in thinking you're referring to magically enhanced surgery? Once that detail is clarified, consider the CS accepted.

@Suneli Ah, sorry if I intimidated you yesterday! For the most part it looks good, it's just that yeah, you seem to be a little worried about making your character overpowered, and underpowering her instead. I'd personally relax some of the restrictions on The Hanged Man, especially as she isn't guaranteed to get it at any one time. Very creative though, and I like the personality changes as a side effect of her powers.

@Mistress Dizzy Yep, that suggestion seems like a good one to go with. Considering things weren't at all easy for black people in the 1800s, a servant background would be likely. As for the magic, got to say you need to elaborate on it. The versatility looks good though, and I'm interested in seeing more details.

@Killy Once you write the personality section, your character seems fun, especially with the bug magic! That's pretty unique.

@Vega7285 Hehe, classic light and dark, lawful good and chaotic good duo. I'd recommend having them both as foils, although it's understandable if you only want to go with one. You'd always be able to bring the other in later.

@Majoras End Yup, vampire concept looks good so far! Let us know when the CS is complete.

...

Whew! That's way more characters than we expected. It's probably time to close applications, and start the RP soon.
