Light at the end of the tunnel






"For all the happiness you wish for someone, someone else gets cursed with equal misery"



Streim: a small settlement on the outskirts of a metropolis, tucked away by intervening wilderness and forgotten by most of the outside world, save for those looking for a rural retreat from their busy city lives. Its inhabitants live slow lives. There's not much excitement to be found here. But at least there's local tv. And cafes.

Behind the dream-like filter of lazy afternoons and beautiful sunsets, however, brews a darker state of affairs. Numerous female residents have vanished, leaving no trace behind. Suicides have been on the rise. But let's not get into the ugly side of things, shall we? The inhabitants of Streim would rather not discuss such things. Anyone investigating these events is likely to be laughed off as a conspiracy theorist. The people of Streim like to believe that they live in a small bubble of safety, a belief they defend even at a subconscious level.

Still, there are those who know the actuality of things. Who know that when the sun sets, the city reeks of despair and misery. There are those who have devoted themselves to a never-ending battle no short of slavery, in exchange for a miracle. These warriors are magical girls. Then there are those who have lost this battle and wreak havoc on the inhabitants, from behind the curtains of darkness. These lost ones are known as witches: sinister beings that are now nothing more than a shadow of the person they were before. They play with the inherent darkness in humans , tugging at their heartstrings when they're weak, till they lead them astray. The magical girls and witches personify the classical tale of light against dark. But unknown to some girls, with each passing day a battle of extreme proportions comes closer. Walpurgisnacht, the strongest witch, has a desire to transform the world into a stage. This bizarre conglomeration of various witches will wipe the town away in a series of "natural" disasters if not stopped.

As a girl living in Streim, your story starts now. You have a wish,a burning desire that makes everything else look insignificant in front it. You'd go to any lengths just to get this one wish. Soon an opportunity will present itself. A contract with a mysterious creature: Kyubey. Your fate is going to become entangled with magic and the stuff of nightmares ,whether you like it or not. Or perhaps you know this already. Maybe your journey has already begun, and you have amassed your share of battle scars .

Regardless of which chapter you are on, the end draws near. Will you fight together with others like you or use them as stepping stones for your own glory? Will you stand tall in the face of adversity and make through it all, or will you crumble before your own despair, surrendering to your own sorrow and shortcomings? Regardless, darkness will soon engulf everyone. Who remains to see the light at the end of this tunnel, only time will tell.




Posting requirements
  • This is a casual roleplay. I'm expecting one or two decent paragraphs per post. Proof-reading your IC posts ONCE before posting will honestly get rid of most mistakes/typos. Collabs are encouraged for battles and the like.
  • All general rp rules apply. Avoid metagaming, bunnying, godmoding etc etc
    Another rp I'm currently in has ideal posting rules (imo), so I'm adding those here as well:
    • Posting at least once a week is encouraged. 0 activity in either OOC/IC for 2 weeks straight gets you dropped.
    • Wait for atleast 2 others players to post before posting again. If 2 players haven't posted in 2 days, you may post again.


The roleplay
  • The roleplay has the same genres as the Puella series: Dark fantasy/Horror/Psychological
  • You need not have completed the series to join. If you're not familiar w/ pmmmverse, pm me & I'll gladly bring you up to speed.
  • Any magical girl can die. It is very much likely that many will eventually end up dead or as witches.
  • Although this is a puella-based rp, going off on tangents is possible.
  • There are going to be np-witches throughout the town as well. The specific locations will not be known to the magical girls, however you can make reasonable guesses: eg dingy ol' abandoned places, etc. I have a map in the works for this.


The characters
  • You can play as a magical girl. If she dies/despairs, you can play her witch or start anew.
  • I don't think there are other possible characters that you could play as, but I'm open to suggestions.

@GreenGoat
Your character is okay save for some very minor things:

1. Can you elaborate a bit more on the fog ability? Its sounds like a cool ability in itself but I'd like to understand it better. Like, how does the fog/vehicles thing work and how you would use it in a fight.

2. You used a 9 out of possible 20 physical stats.
That's completely fine if you intended that. (Just making sure its not a mistake!)




Note: I am starting to move into my (first-ever!!) new apartment, and will be busy and most likely often without internet for the next few days.


No worries! It's alright as long as you pop on here from time to time~
Also your character is pretty much good to go but I feel like she has one too many abilities... Mind removing one?

Sure. It simply surrounds, and then infuses the vehicle and causes all its stuff to function to her will. Meaning it will run without gas, coz magic, and she can control it to her will. Enhancing simply means stuff like making it able to run on vertical surfaces and such. Like a ninja vehicle. Dissolving it means shes able to store multiple vehicles by first surrounding and infusing the fog into it, then dissolving it and anything she puts in it (that is not alive) into the fog to be able to be reformed later, so loose items inside the car remains in the car during and after storage. She CAN bring and control a whole shitload of vehicles at the same time, but that uses a lot of mana, which means her soul gem turns darker sooner. So uhm, thats not really beneficial. Goes without saying that larger vehicles with larger mechanical parts to move needs more mana.

So these vehicles are mostly used to get around faster as well as giving her more options for mobility, more strength behind her slash with the sword as she goes past the enemy, stash stuff she needs in the trunk etc.

And yes, I am aware. I can change some of them if you want. ^^;

Alright, ability's a-ok~
The stats are fine if you're aware of them.

Karmic Potential: 4
That gives you 4 extra points to splurge on the OC

@AtomicNut
I'm still going through your cs but I'm having a hard time believing your character got breast cancer at such a young age. You could have chosen another carcinoma w/ a juvenile-onset or an autoimmune disease ,either would be more likely...It's very, very rare for young women and you have to be like at least 40-50 before the risk is significant. Even the minimum age in the younger age group is at about loosely 21-25.

I get that this is animu~ verse but I hope this doesnt come across as snobby lol, its just that when I read that part, the pathology student in me fired up like BREAST CANCER AT 18??

The hacker and hypocrisy mix are refreshing in their own sense, however.

I admit i did it because "her boobs tried to kill her." And I know that, cause I work in cancer services as a day job.

Edit: I am also seeing anedoctal evidence that it can happen under the 20s, it's just as likely as being splattered by an orca whale. And because it's so unlikely, it would be practically a death sentence...

Working on an idea for an OC. Might have to put it off until a later date this week or on Sunday, though, depending on how tomorrow goes and the res of this work week goes for me as well.
