[OOC] Kurai Majoko: Dark Magical Girls

[KoL]

@Lonewolf685

You're ok.

[TheWendil]

The IC will begin either later today or tomorrow. There’s no rush to anyone still working on their CS though.

[blackdragon]

@TheWindel

Got a backstory idea, just want to run it by you. How about she was in an accident, and cut a deal with the mascot in exchange for healing, Madoka-style?

[TheWendil]

@blackdragon

That's good.

[TheWendil]

The IC is officially up and running.

[Majoraa]

Halfway done with Aiko. Still gotta figure out her magic, and write the sample post.

[Squee]

@KoL Was everything good, here?

Naichingēru

• Appearance:

Appearance - precorruption

Appearance - post corruption

• Name: Sera Naichingēru
• Title: Nightingale
• Age: 14
• Emblem: A small gold chain tied around her wrist.
• Devil Arm: What was once a noble sword used to protect the helpless, the Devil Arm transformed along with the Nightingale's ideals; tearing and shredding into segments able to controlled with the flip of her wrist.
• Magic: Shadow magic - Perhaps the darkness was in her heart from the beginning. Her magic allowed her to make convincing copies of her image form from the shaddow; allowing the magical girl to safely retreat or rush elsewhere. But now her shaddow forms are more violent; able to be manipulated and lash out with physical presence. Although weak to hits, the twisted shaddows are excellent at restraining foes and bare them open to her attacks.
• Background: As she set off on her crusade, she quickly grew tired of having to save the ones unable to stand upon their own two feet. No matter how many times she had to run the same routine over and over; there was always one more person she had to protect. After a long and tiring battle with a Nightmare; all it took was a scared kid to push her over the edge. Taking out her own problems on the one who dared to protest her, the protector of all these ungrateful, sorry, little punks.
• Inventory: Rope - Any good adventurer never underestimates the power of a good, sturdy rope.
Knife - Second only to rope, a good knife is all you need to get out of most situations.

Sample Post:

"Aaah!" Sera was quickly thrown to the side by the brute of a Nightmare as it shambled forward. As much as she stood in its way with her sword drawn, it continued to march forward knocking away both her and her images with ease and no sense of slowing. But she wouldn't give up, she couldn't. Behind her was a young child that couldn't possibly last any longer than she had.

Again, she threw herself against the coming Nightmare; thrusting in with her sword, but only stabbing in tip deep before the foe swung back its arm and brushed her aside with no indication her sword was even having an affect. Tears welled in her eyes as she felt utterly useless, doubled by the pain of being thrown around with such ease and tripled by the thoughts of being unable to protect anyone.

Time was running short and it was now or never if she was going to stop the Nightmare. Once more she jumped into the Nightmare's path, swinging her sword in a mad haze as she gave everything she had. The fist came flying at her as always, but this time she flinched as she let it hit her with full force. The pain hit her whole body at once, but she took the opportunity to grab hold. She was willing to die before she let the monster though. Clinging to the arm, she swung her sword as best she could at the beast; giving it small niks here and there. The Nightmare tired to free itself from the grasp, smashing its arm, and the girl along with it, against the ground repeatedly.

Air sputtered from her lungs and pain wracked her body as she gasped to catch her breath. Her entire body felt like fractured glass; ready to crumble to pieces apart from her will to stop the monster. Though she kept her hold, continuing to swing her sword and jabbing it in the monster's face. Its fist slammed back with full force, pinning the magical girl against the ground and then lifting her into the air. Sera's vision was obscured by the hand that held her into the air, but it was her final chance as her body hanged there to pained to move. She lifted her sword and let it drop with every ounce of force she could muster; slicing the Nightmare in twain as it was finally defeated.

Sera dropped to the ground and peered at the child behind her. He was unharmed, thankfully. Sera stumbled to her feet and offered her hand to the boy. As much trouble as it was, it was worth it.

"No!" A loud slap echoed out as her arm was slapped away from the kid.

But..., why....?

"This is all your fault!" Sera's heart sank into a black hole and her eyes glossed over. A scowl crept over her face as she couldn't take it any further. At once, her latent rage took hold. Powers and fury directed at the young boy without restraint.

Theme

[Karkinos]

Oh, and I should ask: what features do magical girls have in common that they gain after transforming, if at all? Something like "improved muscle strength" -- what sets them apart other than the weapons, costume, and powers.

(And my app should be up pretty soon, it's really just the sample post and then simplifying/writing out some things.)

[KoL]

@Squee

Oh, sorry, I thought that I had evaluated yours already. Nevertheless, your CS is ok on my end.

Apologies for the lateness, once again.

@Karkinos

Enhanced physical attributes (strength, toughness and speed/reaction time) are a given, though the extent of the boost depends on each magical girl's style.

At the very least, all of them are at peak human condition after transforming as far as their bodies are concerned.

[KoL]

By the way, we are going to team people up in pairs to push forth some early interaction. Since we are still waiting a few characters to be ready, the assembled pairings at the moment are:

@floodtalon Ami & @Squee Sera

@Polaris North Alexis & @Rai Hikari

The others are going to be teamed up as more confirmed characters are added.

[Polaris North]

Ooh, team ups. This should be interesting.

Just to make sure, we're a go for posting in the IC right?

[KoL]

@Polaris North

Whoever has been approved up to now, are allowed to post as soon as they want.

[TheWendil]

You’re all free to make up your own team names for me to record.

[KoL]

There's an antagonist in the playground now. In case anyone is interested in taking a look: https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4677070

[Polaris North]

Oooh an antagonist.

This'll be quite fun. She's young though and I can see how that'll affect my character.

[blackdragon]

Edited my character.

[KoL]

@blackdragon

You can keep this background, since it's not unreasonable anymore, but you should take away the part that mentions the robbery being an assignment from the club president.

The Detention club has no use for things such as bank robbery, especially since it risks attracting unwanted attention from the normies. You need a mental image, think of them like a Japanese street gang. They like to be edgy and all that but not commit crimes that would get them on hot water.

After you take that part of, your character should be ok.

For certain reasons, she'll be paired with the next approved one instead of Kanbaru.

[TheWendil]

If anyone was interested, I've decided to give the team names to the teams currently formed right now. Tell me what you think, yay or nay.

[Polaris North]

@TheWindel

I personally like it.
