@Mae

Do we have guns here for guardians? Or do we have to stick to bows and arrows?

[Letter Bee]

Still have room for one more?

[Mae]

@sakurasan sounds so perfect for this roleplay xD

@SilverDawn me either! I'm just like magical girl yay!

@Polaris NorthHell yes guns are allowed. Since this is anime style you can go pretty crazy with it if you wanted - i'd even make some adjustments to allow someone to have a tank if they wanted. (with major debuffs to alot of things to balance, but still. tanks.)

as a general rule the RP is alternate history, every-so-slightly futuristic. So all modern day stuff plus a lil extra.

@Letter BeeYes we are!! please join us :D still working on some system stuff atm

[Letter Bee]

@Mae, What about Power Armor? Is the setting futuristic enough for that? If not, I'll settle for guns.

[Mae]

@Letter BeeCan you elaborate on Power Armour :D? I should think it'd be fine, but i don't know exactly what it does compared to normal armour xD

[Zardoric]

I would guess that it depends on what you call power armor. Are you talking Fallout type Power Armor, which we aren't to far away from, needing only an effective power supply (magic maybe?) and lots of money. Not cost effective with current tech, but a few years and Magic could make it so; or something closer to the Mjolnir Power Armor (Master Chief's) from Halo?

I just read this, grammar fail. Oh well.

[Letter Bee]

@Mae@Zardoric:

I keep thinking of Halo-type Mjolnir Power Armor, but Fallout-type armor would do as well.

[Zardoric]

Maybe Halo Sized but have the specs dropped? Strict carry weight, strength, speed, agility, and other capabilities? Air tight and limited Air supplies are obvious.

I could work to Design something that could work without being overpowered...@Mae?@Letter Bee?

@Zardoric

That works! Thanks!

Anyway, my larger character concept involves belonging to a traditionalist rich family who is able to afford the power armor, while at the same time, is opposed to the Guardians and Magical Girls being 'cheapened' by being celebrities, and wants to restore the 'old days' and the 'old traditions'. @Mae

[Zardoric]

@Letter Bee Traditionalist using advanced technology... May I suggest something more along the lines of 'Believes that Magical girls and Guardians should work more like a Unified Force working together to protect the people instead of competing with each other for wealth and fame.'? Traditionalist traditionally believe in the old ways, methods, and traditions and would neither attempt to get rich due to anything modern (nor would they be likely to sell of family artefacts) nor would traditionalist use top of the line Technology. A traditionally trained and taught Guardian would likely use old style weapons and not go to a school like the one in the RP. Instead being matched with a similarly trained Magical Girl. I suspect that there are a few families like this in this world but that we won't see them any time soon.

Btw, getting to work on that design. Will use Real world stats to be converted to game stats at a later point, once they are known. I will point out that the armor will be costly to repair and maintain (Your character should probably set aside about $2,000 (or more) each month for maintenance alone) and take time. Estimated cost of each suit (you will need multiple to stay battle ready) could be in the millions, and minor repair work (just the plating) could cost thousands. System damage would be even more costly to fix. Tech is expensive (just look at basic car repairs, and those will be cheep and easy in comparison). Any problems with these basics? @Mae?

[Mae]

@ZardoricI'll probably be using a simpler system for money - If you've heard of World of Darkness/Vampire The Requiem, that sort of system.

There'll be "levels" to finances - you'll have a certain amount of points you can split between money, assets, connections, retainers, ect. at the start of the game to keep it simple. Fame will play a big part into these.

You might need one point to keep a knife, for example, since they're cheaper to get hold off. To own Power Armour you'd need 3 points, or something, just as an example.

I have a roleplay running already with specific prices ect. and I think that's all I can manage on that front.

[Letter Bee]

@Zardoric, Yes, that's what I meant. My character's family believes that Guardians and Magical Girls should unite to help the people once more.

@Mae, thanks!

[KnightShade]

@Letter Bee if you want to match powered armor with traditionalism, it could be more like an old fashioned suit of samurai armor and it's powered aspects come largely from enchantments. That way it could be a family heirloom associated with ancient guardians from the family, too.

[Letter Bee]

@KnightShade, Possible, but as Zardoric said, by 'tradition', I merely meant that my character's family is against the celebrity culture surrounding Magical Girls and Guardians, and that they should go back to working together to help people, as despite the fact that 'monsters' are weaker or nonexistent now, Humans still have plenty of problems to be helped with.

[Card Captor]

*Tosses in hat of interest*

I like this idea. I'm thinking I'd like to play a boy who really wants to be a hero.

[Polaris North]

Am I the only one who noticed that most of the characters actually don't care about fame... or am I missing someone? Other than that magical girl who isn't what she seems.

[Letter Bee]

@Mae, question; what's your Timezone? I'm UTC 8.

[thewizardguy]

Hmmmm..... Consider me interested.

Must admit, I'm biased towards this RP for mentioning both Madoka Magica and Sleepless Domain in the OP. Both are awesome.

[duskshine749]

@Polaris North My character will enjoy the fame, he just doesn't have a dedicated group. He much prefers being a drifter

@Letter Bee she is in England, so it's midnight for her right now

[Letter Bee]

@duskshine749, Ah, so, my early mornings and late afternoons, just like many friends of mine.
