tipssyCalibrator said This RP would be in the style of Magical Girl anime series, but one that would be more subversive, self aware and deconstruction-ish in regards to the magical girl genre. I don't mean for it to be a ZOMG HARDCORE DARK SUBVERSION like Madoka Magica or something like that however, I want something that can still be seen as a legit MG story, just one that's a little more self aware and smarter about itself by subverting some tropes and poking fun at others. My main idea would be to have the main characters be around college age and/or older. I think that would not only be an interesting subversion of the usual trend, but it would probably make the characters a little more interesting. Having more mature characters would allow them to be handling more serious, young adult problems relating to their point in life (instead of the usual highschool shenanigans/angst that most MG characters go through), such as careers, independence and becoming an adult, figuring out where they want to go in life, maybe a bit of college drama, and many others. It could certainly create some interesting character development, I think. I have quite a bit of other ideas for this RP, but I don't want to turn this into a bigger wall of text than it already is, so I'll leave it there

tipssyCalibrator said In terms of the more magical girl aspects of the story, I imagine some of it can play out rather typically for the genre, such as the powers being given to the mane characters from a magical race of kind, benevolent beings that are at war with a race of evil, malevolent beings and need the mane characters help and stuff. The evil creatures would be invading the good creatures on their own planet, and so some of the good creatures flee to Earth in order to find someone to help, which is why the good creatures find the mane characters. The evil creatures would then follow the good ones and start attacking Earth in order to find them. For the mane characters' powers, I was intending to have more physical combat involved, and have the action, powers and such be more shounen anime inspired (as opposed to most magical girl stories that are usually about casting spells and no real up close physical fighting). I was thinking that they could manifest in different ways based on their characters, so if one character is more physically fit they would have magic abilities based in combat and offense, if they're more mentally advanced they could have psychic or intelligence based powers, and many other things as well. I was also thinking that there could maybe be a medieval theme with the magical girl titles, so like one of them could be "Knight [Name]", another could be "Princess [Name]" and another could be "Duchess [Name]" and so on

The story would play out like most MG anime do. It would start with the characters in their normal life, establishing their characters and relationships with each other and showing what their average life is like in a slice-of-life kind of thing (preferably with them going around in college interacting with each other). Then at a later point in time, one of the beings from the evil magical race attacks the Earth somewhere close to the mane characters, causing them to freak out and wonder what is happening as they flee the scene. Very soon after, they'll run into one of the good magical creatures, who will tell them all about what is happening and explain to them that they need to help

So yeah, THAT is happening.

CS
Name: Jacqui/Jacky Gene Roper
Age: 18 years old
Gender: Male/Female, Admittedly and most frustratingly Female. To be honest, he would have to say that he might be female, even though he identifies as male. He's not a biological, "traditional" transgender/transexual. He's been transformed into his current predicament because of the Magical Girl powers.
Title: Empress Of The Sun And Moon
Class: Stellar Sorceress (Powers based on Stars, the Sun and Moon).
Personality:
Jacky is a master of the arts of Humanities, history, art, literature, and story telling. He loves to use his imagination and is extremely creative and normally very successful in his academics, except for mathematics, which has always been a pain in the ass. He has identified himself as a "horn dog" and has had an obsession with girls, in every way that implies, in a way that his friends has explained to him and each other as "Hysterically pornographic".
He comes off as a pervert and a chauvinist, but he's not. He just has an enormously powerful sex drive. Outside of his creativity, he has a strong interest in maintaining his physical health and athletic ability. He has no interest in fighting, getting hurt or hurting any one, however, as he sees himself as a "Dove". His greatest obstacle as a "Magical Girl" is either the fact that he has to face being both male and female at the same time in ways that are completely alien even to people who are hermaphroditic, or the fact that he may be facing decisions of death or ending someone else's life. Maybe even on a regular basis.
History:
Jacky was born seventeen years ago in Phoenix, Arizona. He enjoyed a happy family life of wealthy and caring parents; made friends easily, and had good times at school, all throughout his academic "career" as an honor student, except for the past three years, where he struggles with all his might to pass even basic math courses. He has been extremely interested in girls in ways very unhealthy for his age since he was twelve years old. Although he doesn't go out and look for them to do anything sexual with, he has gotten in trouble very frequently. Specifically in the past two years, he has had "close" calls, with girls, sometimes around five times a month. One time his sister Nat even caught him nude in bed with a girl, before anything had happened, had to shew his girlfriend "Anne" out of the house, and ultimately explain to him that his parents were fed up with him always being unable to keep himself in control.
He thought he finally had himself in gear with behaving himself around girls until recently when he transformed into a female. Now he has just as much trouble with males, and the problem doesn't go away when he's completely male himself. Nevertheless his parents haven't noticed anything unusual with him and his behavior towards males, since they could pass it off as him just making lewd jokes. They haven't caught him doing anything inappropriate with males, and indeed he has managed to avoid going as far as an attempted sexual encounter with them yet, but he is humiliated and ultimately furious at not just everyone, but also himself and no one in particular at the same time because of his predicament.

Name: Kassandra Keigwan
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Title: Lady Kaia
Class: Mage of Mirage
Personality: Kassy is gentle hearted and sweet. While she seems to have a quiet confidence on the outside, she suffers from very low self worth. She tends to see things in a very black and white manner, and has difficulty accepting acts that she deplores as 'wrong' or 'evil'. However, she's more prone to seeing the gray areas in people, rather than actions.
History: Kassy's mother was a famed occultist said to speak with the spirits of the dead. She grew up traveling with her parents from place to place while her mother worked. Unfortunately, her mother fell ill and died when Kassy was about eight. Her distraught father dropped her off at her aunt's home, and never returned.

Kassy's aunt despised her mother, believing her a fraud. This hatred carried over to her niece, and Kassy was treated very poorly during her childhood and adolescence. Her uncle ignored his niece's treatment, unwilling to stand up to his wife. Kassy's only solace was her cousin Leonce, who treated her like the sister he'd always wanted. They grew up sheltering each other, until Leonce escaped to college. Kassy suffered alone a while longer before escaping to school herself, promising to never look back.

Posting this here to mark my place.

I thought this setting was in college?

Name: Curtis Wenger

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Title: Count Aleister

Class: Brawler of Stone

Personality: Dark sense of humor; is more interested in drugs and music than his school work; is a very good friend to people he likes, but that isn't a great amount of people; has trouble trusting people; is normally a little too pessimistic and skeptical for his own good; isn't aggressive, but absolutely refuses to allow other people to push him around and isn't afraid to resort to violence if he feels its needed.

History: Grew up in a ghetto, and was targeted because he was one of the few white people in his area. After almost being killed when he got attacked by a group, he began to study martial arts which he excelled at, and received several black belts in different styles. He continued to be attacked, but was able to fight back. When he was 16, he was expelled from his high school for his involvement in a brawl between classes, and he began attending a private school. He was intelligent, so he put minimal effort into school and still managed a B/C average.

Once he graduated and went to college, he continued taking martial arts classes in the town the school was in. He made most of his money by dabbling in drug dealing, mostly pot and the occasional bit of hallucinogens that come his way. His ability is pulling material from whatever is around him to make an armor-like second skin to protect him from damage. This armor can be broken, but he can continue to pull material in order to fix it, though this takes time and he has to be away from the fight for this to happen. His primary role during fights is to distract the opponent by being damn near unkillable while his teammates come up with ways to destroy it.

Hey C W, is your username a Discworld reference?

*hugs* I had to think about it, but it was the "Nobbs" bit that made me sure.

Do you have a bit of paper on you proving you are, in fact, human?

I had my chitty revoked when I was disqualified from the human race for tripping.

*cracks up* I think I'm going to like you, Nobbs.

Even though I am more of a Vimes man, myself.

Him, and Vetinari...

I've always wondered if Pratchett ever plans to let the Patrician have his own novel... though I don't know what it would be about..

Yeah, this takes place in atleast second year of college and I doubt that the super advanced race of Benevolent Beings would accidentally make you a female.

Also, being a pervert is acceptable but being a womanizer has never been acceptable.

Oh- and this goes to everyone- titles work how they work in real life (Mrs/Mr Name, Lord/Lady name) otherwise they wouldn't really be titles.

So, yeah. :T

So... I'm supposed to put Lady Kassandra, then?

I like to think that it would be a satirical version of The Prince, but The Prince is already satire, so I dunno. I think he works better as a bit player in all the novels. Otherwise you'd get too clear a picture of how he works, and his mystique is half the reason he works as a character for me.

Placemarker. Something came up just as I was about to start working on this.

Sorry I disappeared from the interest check thread

Alright, so I don't really blame you for starting the RP without me since I disappeared for almost a week. I also don't mind the idea of other people running the RP along with me, and I would actually prefer it in fact, since RPs ran by just me have a bad habit of dying really quickly. At the same time however, I would like to ask to have some control over this RP, including the opening post, the character template, the accepting of the characters (including the ones that have been posted) and the story. This was my idea, after all. I'm not saying I won't let anyone else have any control over those things I listed, I just want some say in those subjects

Alright then. I'll work on an opening post and PM it to you, and you can change the OP to what I send you. I'll start accepting the characters after that

SO! Starting tomorrow, I will be disappearing into the woods for an as of yet undetermined amount of time. Could be for three days, could be for three months. Probably leaning a bit more towards the "three days" side of the spectrum, but I'm just letting you all know the possibilities. If I am gone longer than three or four days, I am totally okay with getting kicked out of the RP.
