The world is filled with magical wonders; spirits, gods, elder beings and more, with goals and objectives as varied as life itself. Often, these beings oppose each other, and to succeed they either unleash monsters to the world, or have chosen Mahou who wield magical weapons and powers to fight their battles for them; magical girls and boys. These are people who, through some turning point in their life, have been given a new life with magical powers, a youthful body, and a grand destiny.
The city of Penrose had become a center for repeated attacks by monsters and villains, and so has attracted Mahou from a wide region. This includes the Ascendancy, an inquisitive task force of the Beacon organization, as well as various monster Mahou, who have joined together in the hidden Sanctuary. Tensions between the factions have been compounded by the rising influence of Covington Industries, a company manipulated from the shadows by the mysterious Ebon Mint. While the corporation has revitalized Penrose after a series of magic-induced disasters through its relief efforts and employment, this has only spread the organization's control on the magical populace hidden from society. The situation is complicated by the presence of the Queen of Hearts, an enigmatic entity with interest in the city's inhabitants...
Welcome to March of the White Rabbit (or MWR for short), an RP in the same universe as Darkest Before the Dawn. In this RP, normal people are chosen by Patrons to become magical girls and boys, collectively known as Mahou. Patrons are magically diverse entities, and range from cute and cuddly Puchuu to capricious Lesser Forces, proud Gods, the purifying protectors of Beacon, the dark and mysterious agents of Ebon Mint, and even terrifying Horrors from beyond. A darker than normal setting for a magical girl story, MWR engages in themes of corrupting power, fantastic discrimination, and the challenges of immortality. However, the theme of hope is also central, as is the valiant battle for peace and changing the world for the better. Will you be a defender of justice, an agent of dubious morals, or something completely different like a monster girl?
Characters are created for this RP using the wider setting of the Accidental Magical Girl CYOA module, found in links below. Simply follow the steps given in the module, and fill the results of choices and rolls in the character sheet.
Applicants can also use the Crimson Cradle module when creating a character and rolling for certain tables such as Powers and/or Perks; simply replace the result in the CYOA table with the corresponding one in the CC tables. Any roll that results in creating a new character (such as the Ally Perk or Twin Soul Power) can be rerolled. Note that the coins given for use in the creator can be used at any point of the creation process. All modules listed below may be used for character creation.

(The Dark Magical Girl/Monster Girl Creation Aid module is not fully supported in the RP, but certain content of the link such as Perks and Powers can be approved for the CS submission)
Dark Magical Girl/Monster Girl Creation Aid
The RP is based in the fictional city of Penrose, located somewhere in the Northeast US. Due to the increasing number of monsters in Penrose, the magical girl population is rising as well. Penrose has a population of 800,000 and is located on the east coast. The actual structure and mapping of Penrose will be kept nebulous to allow for player choice. For example, you can describe your character to be located at the hospital or train station without needing to specify further. There is also the Overcity, a magical dimension where the titular city of Mahou is located. While lesser in importance than Penrose, certain characters and events revolve around the arcane metropolis. More details on the Overcity can be found in the CYOA module.
Character creation should be done according to the CYOA module. Please note that the amount of additional benefits and drawbacks you can take on the Patron module depend on what type of patron you have.
1. A maximum of three active characters and Patrons can be actively used at the same time. Any characters and Patrons created afterwards must replace previously created ones. Exceptions to the rule are the Allies-perk and Twin Soul-Power, which work as described in the CYOA rulings. Submit your characters first to OOC or as a PM, and once they have been approved they can be posted to the character tab and you can begin posting in IC.
2. Allies-perk and Twin Soul-power may be rerolled into another perk or power.
3. You must first ask for permission before you can create side characters and events that have a considerable effect on the RP's story. Background characters with little consequence are exempt from the rule. For example, you can have civilians witness a fight, or have a slumber party at a magical girl's house without asking for permission to include the parents. On the other hand, them turning out to be fighters or a villain suddenly causing a city-wide swarm of monsters has to be approved first. However, in general story ideas have a high chance of being approved, so don't be afraid of sharing your ideas.
4. The number of combat-ready NPCs are limited to three NPCs per player. Exceptions can be made in certain cases, such as a higher importance of the NPCs to the overall story.
5. Keep the sexual content within RPG site rulings, with a rating of PG at the very most. Romance is fine as long as it's kept clean.
6. Violence: The world of MWR is definitely darker than the average magical girl show, with violence and death as an intrinsic part of the setting. Still, please keep the gore, body horror, and anything else explicit on the tasteful side. To give an example, the tone MWR is aiming for is late-night anime like Madoka Magica at the most extreme.
7. Post Rate: Try to post at least once every one or two weeks on average. At the beginning things might move more rapidly, but don't be discouraged, as this won't likely last long. If you're not going to be able to post for a while, please let me know.
In general, try to avoid speed posting too much. But most of all, don't sweat too much about keeping a posting schedule, as this is meant to be fun without putting pressure on having to force a post out.
8. Post Standards: Your post should at least be a paragraph or two in length, include your character's thoughts and an action or some dialogue.
9. Collaboration is recommended for dialogue and/or combat between characters when they are expected to run for longer than a couple of posts. For example, Google Docs is a good place to make collaborations.
10. If your character submission is accepted, you will receive an invitation to our Discord channel dedicated for the RP. While participation is not mandatory, it is recommended as I will be making most of my announcements regarding the RP there. It is also a chill place to hang out and discuss the story, characters, or anything at all.
11. Have fun! If you don't, let me know by posting in OOC or sending me a message, and I'll see what I can do to fix the issue. If you have any ideas you want to share in private, feel free to do so as well.
