Zeroth
The world is filled with magical wonders; spirits and gods with various goals and objectives. Often, these beings oppose each other, and to succeed they either unleash monsters to the world, or have chosen Mahou who wield magical weapons and powers to fight their battles for them; magical girls and boys. These are people who, through some turning point in their life, have been given a new life with magical powers, a youthful body, and a grand destiny.

The city of Penrose had become a center for repeated attacks by monsters and villains, and so has attracted Mahou from a wide region. Tensions are brewing on numerous sides, and some factions are on the brink of being split apart from the inside as ideals clash. And in the middle of it all, the Reflective Witch casts an ominous shadow on Penrose...




Welcome to Beyond the Looking Glass (or BLG for short), an RP in the same universe as Lunacy of Love. In this RP, normal people are chosen by magical Patrons, which include cute and cuddly Puchuu, capricious Lesser Forces, proud Gods and even terrifying Horrors from beyond, to become magical girls and boys. Will you be a defender of justice, an agent of dubious morals, or something completely different like a monster girl?


Character Creation and Setting

Characters are created for this RP using the wider setting of the Accidental Magical Girl CYOA, found in links below:

Character Creation
(Note that the coins given for use in the creator can be used at any point of the creation process.)
Patron Creation

(The third link is not fully supported, but the contents of the link such as Perks and Powers can be obtained by permission)
Dark Magical Girl Aid

Crimson Cradle Module (includes mechanics for how to reroll a character)

The setting of the RP is in the fictional city of Penrose, located somewhere in the Northeast US. Due to the increasing number of monsters in Penrose, the magical girl population is rising as well. Penrose has a population of 600,000 and is located on the east coast. The actual structure of Penrose will be kept nebulous to allow for player choice.


Character Sheet

Character creation should be done according to the CYOA. Please note that the amount of additional benefits and drawbacks you can take on the Patron module depend on what type of patron you have. If you roll Allies or Twin Soul and don't want to play with the additional characters, you can reroll that power or perk for another of the same category.
If anyone sees room for improvement, feel free to give suggestions.







The Rules

1. A maximum of two active characters and Patrons can be created. Any characters and Patrons created afterwards must replace previously created ones. Exceptions to the rule are Allies-perk and Twin Soul-power, which work as described in the CYOA. Submit your characters first to OOC, and once they have been approved they can be posted to the character tab.
2. Allies-perk and Twin Soul-power may be rerolled into another perk or power.
3. You must first ask for permission before you can create side characters and events that have a considerable effect on the RP's story. Background characters with little consequence are exempt from the rule. For example, you can have civilians witness a fight, or have a slumber party at a magical girl's house without asking for permission to include the parents. On the other hand, them turning out to be fighters or a villain suddenly causing a city-wide swarm of monsters has to be approved first.
4. The number of combat-ready NPCs are limited to three per player. Exceptions can be made if you ask me for permission.
5. Keep the sexual content PG. Even though the characters may be mentally older on average, they are still in children's bodies. Romance is fine as long as it's kept clean.
6. Violence: The world of BLG is definitely darker than the average magical girl show, with death as an intrinsic part of the setting. Still, please keep the gore, body horror, and anything else explicit on the tasteful side.
7. Post Rate: Try to post at least once every one or two weeks on average. At the beginning things might move more rapidly. If you're not going to be able to post for a while, let me know. Try to avoid speed posting too much. But most of all, don't sweat too much about keeping a posting schedule, as this is meant to be fun.
8. Post Standards: Your post should at least be a paragraph or two in length, include your character's thoughts and an action or some dialogue.
9. Collaboration is recommended for dialogue and/or combat between characters when they are expected to run for longer than a couple of posts. Meetingwords is a good place to make collaborations, for example.
10. Have fun! If you don't, let me know by posting in OOC or sending me a PM, and I'll see what I can do to fix the issue. If you have any ideas you want to share in private, feel free to do so as well.

Working on my character sheet, just need to decide on a few more details. I'm looking forward to being back in this for the next go around.

is this open to new people as well?
because I may have taken the CYOA system for making magical girls and somehow used it to make a one girl pack of werewolves instead

Absolutely. That's part of the reason we made this new thread for the second season. Figured it would look less intimidating for people who might be interested in joining.

here's Eliza and Maura, back for round two. Used the platinum coin to give Eliza a boost in her stats and the dual weapon perk in exchange for the enhanced outfit.

edit: added stuff from season one, and removed the incantation part since she's a monster girl now.

My character sheets are almost done, mostly I'm just spending the platinum coins. But I've got one question...

For the allied perk, do the allies share the patron benefits? I would assume the black coin from the mint is off limits as monster girls are given different coin allowances than normal magical girls, but I'm assuming they serve a patron of some kind, or are they all considered freelancers?

@DracoLunaris That's strictly for additional girls made using the ally perk. But yea, on the second page for the second table, it tells you that your ally can be an experienced magical girl, or a monster girl. It then further explains that monster girl allies get no coins, and normal magical girls get 2 silver and 3 bronze.

Well I did the rolls again for fun.

I'm a little on the fence...but, damn it. I've already done the rolls and I like the character I rolled. Suppose I can stick around for the second season.

I'll write up the full CS tomorrow with those rolls tomorrow.
