[OOC] Ignite Heart! A Magical Girl RP

[NightinGem]

This is the first forum roleplay I've properly joined since a middle school mess of a Kirby roleplay, I'm super excited. I'm working on writing a story with an 11-year-old protagonist right now and this is gonna be some great experience, as well~

[VitaVitaAR]

And the RP has begun!

[VitaVitaAR]

@NightinGem: Looking forward to it!

[Duoya]

What time of the year is it? Is it the beginning of the school year, or has it been going on for a while now?

[VitaVitaAR]

@Duoya: Hmm... let's go with early in the school year, but not the first day.

[Feyblue]

Posted! Looking forward to getting started! :D

[HereComesTheSnow]

Don't worry, we've got a speedrun strat for the first boss.

[Crimmy]

Post will occur after examination.

[Raineh Daze]

And I'll post when I'm not doing D&D elsewhere. :p

[Crusader Lord]

@VitaVitaAR *Glances about* Ooh! This looks like a cool RP! Will keep this place in mind for the future! :)

[Raineh Daze]

Make that tomorrow. I don't think I'm going to be posting tonight.

[Crimmy]

Are we going to be fighting the same monster as last time? The opening IC is beat-for-beat the same.

[VitaVitaAR]

Opening IC is the same.

What happens next may very much not be.

[Crusader Lord]

@VitaVitaAR Do magical girls have to be magical girls at the start, or can they contract early on in the RP or such?

[VitaVitaAR]

@Crusader Lord: They don't have to start as magical girls.

[shagranoz]

Would anyone be interested in bumping into Midori and Megumi?

[Raineh Daze]

I don't have any objections but I'm not a conversation starter here. And she goes to a different school. xD

[Feyblue]

Kyōka will be out wandering around in her next post, so perhaps she'll run into you then. However, I won't post until at least one more person has gotten the chance to start, since it can be kind of awkward for people to catch up afterward.

[NightinGem]

Sorry that I haven't posted yet, had some rl things hold me up.

Post is now up! That's a lot longer than it looked in preview...

Attempt number two! I think this one turned out a lot better, really. Been literally years since I last played the amnesia card though (I think that was about three forums ago too), but yeah. Naturally, I've discussed a lot of this with Vita so hopefully it works out better than the last character I made (at the very least, I think it's less embarrassingly bad) so here we go.

Rei

• Name: Rei Higanbana
• Magical Girl Title: Southern Cross
• Age: 16... Possibly. She's not entirely sure herself.
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: Not much different from her magical girl appearance, really, aside from wearing a cheap, plain sweater and skirt.
• Magical Girl Appearance: Something like this.
• Personality: Whilst she can seem a bit distant at times, Rei isn't really as antisocial as she might first come off as. She's actually a bit shy, and speaks in a soft, quiet voice that betrays her insecurities just a little. Rei is perfectly willing to socialize, however, although she tries to choose her words carefully and thus doesn't always say as much as she wants to. She sometimes seems a little distant, though, most likely due to her inability to remember her past or just why she became a magical girl in the first place. When she is a magical girl, though, she's a bit... Louder, and more violent, and has been known to be especially brutal towards Negari. It's abundantly clear that she utterly despises Negari, although even she isn't sure what causes her to hate them with such intensity.
• Skills: Aside from her ability to fight, Rei doesn't really have many notable skills. She's not exactly dumb but she's not the smartest magical girl out there either, and she only shows average talent for most things she tries. The exception is cooking, something she picked up alarmingly quickly whilst trying to pay back the people who gave her somewhere to stay; she's an excellent cook, and whatever she makes tends to taste absolutely delicious.
• Abilities: Southern Cross is never going to win any awards for being the fastest magical girl around, as she moves with a relatively lumbering pace. Her lack of swiftness is compensated for by the fact that her durability and especially her strength are much higher than that of the average magical girl, to the point that she's probably faster simply jumping from place to place rather than running. Her set of special attacks is as follows:
  • Steel Cyclone: Southern Cross holds out her hammer and spins like a top, sending any enemies unlucky enough to be near her flying off into the distance. After about ten seconds, though, she starts to get a bit dizzy and queazy, losing her balance and leaving her disorientated for a few moments afterwards.
  • Ray Star: Southern Cross charges electrical energy in her hammer before giving it a mighty swing, tossing out a ball of lightning that explodes on contact. It's not very long ranged, however, and the ball will simply dissipate into nothing if it doesn't hit anything after flying for about ten meters.
  • Tectonic Break: Southern Cross raises her hammer to the sky before bringing it crashing down to the ground, causing the earth to quake and and mighty fissure to open up in front of her. This is her most powerful attack at the moment, although the fact that it's so obviously telegraphed and takes a relatively long time to pull off leaves her pretty open whilst using it.
• Weapon(s): Cross Purpose, a collosal hammer that is so heavy most magical girls can barely even budge it. It's a testament to Rei's physical strength that she can swing it about as though it was nothing.
• Brief History: The girl now known as "Rei Higanbana" is a girl without a past. The first thing she can remember is washing up on the shores of Umitori City, bereft of any memories from her life previous to this, the only things even hinting at who she was beforehand being the fact that she was a magical girl and her seemingly overwhelming hatred for the Negari. Even she is not sure how she become a magical girl or why she hates the Negari so much, and the one person who could possibly answer these questions, her fairy, is nowhere to be found. Currently, she lives in a small family-run inn that gave her a free room after she saved their youngest daughter from a Negari attack, and splits her time between fighting as a magical girl and trying to uncover any clues about her past she can find. However, she's constantly plagued by nightmares when she sleeps, terrible dreams of an infinite blackness threatening to devour her, and an unearthly figure she does not recognize but who paralyzes her with fear...
• Fairy: Rei's fairy is mysteriously absent, and most likely missing. Whilst Rei is searching for information as to her whereabouts, this is somewhat hampered by the fact that she can remember neither her name, her appearance or anything else about her.
• Theme Song: Whee~
