Human emotions are one of the things that makes people who they are. While many animals can feel emotions and experience emotional thought, human beings are among those most capable of expressing these feelings.

Indeed, this sort of expression is intrinsic to human nature.

Happiness. Comfort. Kindness. Love.

Positive human emotions are only one side of the coin, however.

A student stresses out over her upcoming test. A salaryman resents his boss. A young couple has a fight that, even for a moment, they're scared that they'll never recover from.

Fears. Stress. Frustration. Anger.

Negative human emotions that coalesce like shadows in dark places.

Certainly, they are a part of what makes someone a human being, but in concentrated numbers they can become something far darker.

Shades form of negative human emotions, composed of darkness. At their weakest they can drain the energy from people and cause them to become increasingly depressed and beaten down by their mere existence. The stronger they get, the more capable of causing real physical harm they become.

They can even kill someone.

Composed of negative energies, it isn't possible to harm a Shade with conventional weaponry.

But that's why magical girls exist.

Sought out from young girls with high potential by fairies, magical girls are capable of destroying Shades, dispelling the energies composing their bodies permanently. These girls are capable of defending the world from the destructive influence of Shades.

But in a large city, like Tokyo, the sheer number of human beings populating it results in negative emotions building up at a high rate, producing dangerous Shades far more quickly.

And so, that's why such a city needs plenty of magical girls to keep these monsters in check.

And in Tokyo, there is a certain group of these magical girls.

This is their story.




The abilities of magical girls come from a conceptual source of power. That is, each magical girl has their own Concept as a source of power. For example, a Magical Girl with the Concept of a fairytale as their source of power would have abilities based on that fairytale. Concepts can range wildly, from weapons to events to stories to nearly anything in history.

But this is not the end of the powers of a magical girl.

All magical girls wield some sort of item, be it a tool or a weapon or something else entirely. This item is their Archetype, something from stories or myths that grants them further powers, something related to their concept. A girl whose Concept is Cinderella could perhaps have the Pumpkin Carriage as her Archetype. However, when a girl first becomes a magical girl, they will not be aware of their Archetype. They must figure out what their Archetype's nature is on their own. This will unlock their most powerful abilities.

The Power of a magical girl's Concept and Archetype are influenced by a variety of factors. Age and fame are strong influences, but so to is the imagination inspired by them. This allows for more recent concepts, such as Wonderland, to be quite powerful in their own right.

The powers exhibited by magical girls are vast and broad. Some are straightforward, whereas some are more strange and difficult to use.

@VitaVitaAR Can an Archetype be a living thing? Like a familiar, instead of an item?

Alright, I've got an idea in mind so I'll make a start on the sheet.

@VitaVitaAR, will there be a discord for this?

...Oh shoot! I remember this. Well, not this, but something similar to it. I think I ended up dropping it at the time but uuuuuuuuuh

I'm half-tempted to slightly mod my old character for it and sign up with that again... that is, if you'd still have me, Vita?

Well in that case... here she is!



EDIT: Since a discord was mentioned, I'm fine either way. I think in recent years I've gravitated more to wanting a discord rather than not, but I'm perfectly okay just using the OOC too.

I'm almost certainly going with my old idea, I'm just deciding if I want to go with a less experienced version of her.

@Ammokkx: Looks good! I do want to let some people who posted interest first get their bios up before I start formally accepting characters, but I still like her just as much as the first time.

This is a lot of interest! I really don't like having to reject people, but just as forewarning I'll probably have to start picking and choosing when bios start coming in.

I'll also be putting up a discord soon.

Interested, if you're still accepting! I won't bring back my old character though. Considering she had a sister who was a magical girl NPC... Well, that worked for the tournament RP because the NPC wasn't a participant, but not sure it'd work in this RP, it'd be like having two characters as there wouldn't be a reason to keep her in the background. And retconning her existence wouldn't really work either, family was a major theme for my tournament character, who wouldn't be the same without her.

Instead, I briefly mentioned a Little Red Riding Hood themed magical girl in the other RP, so would like to play her if that's ok.

Btw, question, how does a magical girl discover her archetype?

@LuckyBlackCat: Ooops, forgot to answer your question.

Magical girls usually figure out their Archetype through various means. Maybe they recognize it immediately, maybe they do research to figure it out, maybe it clicks to them as they're using their powers.

@VitaVitaAR

Okaaaay, here we are! A more supporty type mage with some more explosive one-time attacks for most of her offense. I got a bit wordy when describing the Arcana, but I think it got my point across well enough, I think? Feel free to tell me if I got anything wrong or if something is a bit much.
