[OOC] Mahou Shoujo no Hex Night: A Magical Girl Battle RP

[RolePlayerRoxas]

I was considering having Himeko drag Hanako into town with her, so I guess you could have something happen there for them, or at the shrine?

[VitaVitaAR]

@RolePlayerRoxas: Town would help me quite a bit there.

Hi, I'm thinking about making an application. But I'm not 100% sure I understand the difference between Concept and Archetype. My idea was something based on the "Hey Diddle Diddle" Nursery Rhyme, specifically the "Cow jumped over the moon" line, with the character kind of functioning like a Final Fantasy Dragoon with a focus on exaggerated jump attacks. But I'm not certain what would be the Concept and what would be the Archetype there.

@The 42nd Gecko

Concept is a theme while the archetype is a specific object or person. If you go over the current sheets, you can easily tell the difference. Mine, for example, has 'cats' as a general concept while 'Cat Sith' is the archetype.

@The 42nd Gecko

Concept: Nursery Rhymes.

Archetype: Cat and the Fiddle? You'd get the jumping.

And possibly final fantasy fight music.

[VitaVitaAR]

@The 42nd Gecko: Everyone's suggestions are pretty much what I'd say, so listen to them. ^^;

[Ammokkx]

Still around, for the record. Just a reminder I'm keeping Nico out of pretty much anything rn until time advances as I can't think of anything to do with her stuck at school.

[VitaVitaAR]

@Ammokkx: I could just move the school stuff ahead, it seems like a barrier in general.

@VitaVitaAR

Unless you have an event at it, yeah. School's kind of a really boring place to set stuff at if your characters aren't overly familiar with each-other, especially for someone like Nico who's only forged relations with characters that are outside of the walls currently. I'm stuck doing anything with her because she has nothing interesting to do, nor can she organically encounter others.

But you and Fake have something going so, idk. Up to what everyone else thinks.

[A Lowly Wretch]

Sophia will remain distant until events transpire worthy of spectating.

[VitaVitaAR]

@Ammokkx: I'll see what Fake says first, but I'm considering skipping through the school day in that case. Does anyone have anything they'd like to do after that? I'm trying to adjust the RP a bit to give people more posting fuel. ^^;

[LuckyBlackCat]

@VitaVitaAR Hey, just letting you know I'm still in this, just catching up with RPs and wondering what Fuyuko should do, now she's seen the mansion. I'm thinking she should maybe interact with some other magical girls, but I don't want to leave the subplot with the masked stranger hanging, so I'm debating having her contact Shining Fist to discuss the matter. What sounds best?

[VitaVitaAR]

@LuckyBlackCat: You could have her contact some other magical girls to ask about the mysterious figure and the mansion, then see if Shining Fist has found anything new?

[LuckyBlackCat]

@VitaVitaAR Yep! That sounds good. Got a few days off work soon, so will try to get a post up before long.

[Raineh Daze]

That's a cute cat.

[VitaVitaAR]

@LuckyBlackCat: Missed mentioning you, sorry!

@Raineh Daze, @RolePlayerRoxas: You scene can continue as it is, a little retconning means it can be taking place currently rather than during the school day.

[Ammokkx]

@VitaVitaAR Well, I can make Nico do basically anything right now (thank god), but I'm still not entirely sure on what. Don't really want to send her in Hanako and Himeko's direction and Sophia's a mite too out-of-the-way for me to justify Nico just happening to be there. Are there any other NPC's unaccounted for atm that I could send her towards?

...Or if there's a PC any other person here has an idea of how I could make her run into, that's fine by me too.

I'm really starting to regret the decision of not making her aware of the group chat and most other magical girls, even if it's perfectly in character lmao.

[VitaVitaAR]

@Ammokkx: Naoko's wandering around, there's a few other NPCs that exist but are currently inactive(I could even just post sketches of them and have you pick the one you like the most at that rate).

Hikari's nearby, still, as well, if that helps.

[The 42nd Gecko]

Alright, I think I've got my character mostly down. Still not 100% sure about Archetype vs Concept, but I gave it a shot. Let me know if anything seems fishy.

Kept you waiting, huh?

• Name: Ogata Saya
• Age: 16
• Gender: Female
• Appearance:
  
• Personality: "People like to talk a good game about how things like music are universal languages that can reach everyone, but so is war, battle, and compettion. There's some truth to that shounen stuff where you talk with your fists. Throughout all the world, there are stories where warriors respect even their opponent's honor and skill in battle. And hell, sports are all about that without the bodily harm. Or, well, less bodily harm." Saya is a straightforward, warlike person. She's aggressive and active. Saya isn't concerned about the victory, so much as the journey.
  
  Saya is a bit conflicted about her transformation's appearance. On the one hand, she really likes the darker skin, and is considering trying a tan. On the other hand, cow parts can be very confusing.
• Skills: Saya has always been an active, sporty girl. She's not afraid to use her enhanced physical prowess in Magical Girl Form, doesn't hesitate from action, and is coordinated. However, she doesn't have any big specialties aside from that, and it's not like she has actual weapons or martial arts training.
• Brief Backstory: "I'm just here to fight! Whether I win the Hexing Night or not, I still get my wish. Tell you what, if you put up the best fight, and I win, I'll let you have my wish. So, give it your best shot!" Saya is a relatively new magical girl, only a few months under her belt. She hasn't been faced with insurmountable odds or truly felt the horrors of battle yet. Her home life is stable, she has friends on her sports team, and everything's still going well for her. Right now, she's still riding the highs of her newfound power. She's finally allowed to properly fight, not just play at fighting with sports. More than that, now she's got the opportunity to not just fight just monsters, but her fellow Magical Girls. She really wants to get to see and find out what they're all made of!
  
  
  • Magical Girl Appearance:
    
  • Concept: Nursery Rhymes
  • Archetype: Cow Jumped Over The Moon
  • Abilities: Saya is a mostly straightforward physical-type magical girl. In general, she strikes out with her spear and enhanced physical power. Her attacks pierce more easily through barriers and tough armor, but don't have the most raw power behind them compared to some other melee magical girls. She can't smash a wall in one hit, though she could pierce through it. Her primary mixup ability is her jumping. Saya can jump up so high and so quickly, that to many she seems to disappear. Her spear can pull her skyward, and then sending her crashing back to earth. The heavens are definitely within her reach. But, she has two other tricks up her sleeve...
    • Mochi Stealing Spoon: Saya's spear transforms into a great spoon and pulls her into the heavens, where, from the defender's perspective, Saya jumps over the moon and then gathers from the moon a great glowing ball of white energy in her spoon. Rocketing back down, Saya launches the energy at her target to cause an explosion, just before her spoon transforms back into a spear and she drills into the target while they're blinded.
    • The Cat's Fiddle: Once per battle, Saya can hum or sing a song. During the duration of the song, she enhances her physical ability even further than normal. The louder and fiercer she sings, the more powerful she becomes. But also, the more it rebounds on her after the song finishes. Once the final note is sung, she is tired and weakened in equal proportion to how much she boosted herself before. Saya has not fully mastered the potential of this ability, as she's not a trained vocalist, and when she tries to sing too strongly, sometimes makes herself out of breath and prematurely ends it.

[VitaVitaAR]

@The 42nd Gecko: That looks good to me, accepted!
