[OOC] Darkest Before the Dawn: A CYOA Magical Girl Roleplay [Completed]

[Majoraa]

Added a counter battle theme to the post for Anaya, now to throw Val in.

[ERode]

@Majoras EndYo, so what's Despair and Focus magic supposed to be? And where's she drawing it from? Also, has the band that Anaya brought in already began playing?

[Majoraa]

Focus magic is reinforcment based, but more...technological, maybe?? And Despair is darkness based, supposed to null any secondary effects, like poison, burn, etc. I should make a list when I can. The former she draws from the fight, and the latter was stored from beforehand.

And yeah, the band should have already started when Viva finished her attack.

[ERode]

It'd be useful if we had a master list of which emotion is related to which specialization @Ariamis cause that way, when empath magic peeps head into a zone, the GM/person in charge of the scenario could just drop down which emotions are in the vicinity n all.

Also I dunno if Focus can be considered an emotion to begin with, but I guess it's not hard to find a synonym of the word that's more emotion-esque.

Empath Magic Transmutations
Anger/Fury = Fire, Beast
Confidence = Fire
Sadness/Sorrow = Water
Joy/Happiness = Light/Air
Wonder = Illusion
Despair, Depression = Darkness
Determination, Grit, Stoicism = Rock
Hype, Energetic = Electricity, Spirit, Sound
Comfort, Resolution = Healing, Reinforcement
Disgust = Metal/Poison
Tranquility, Peace = Wood
Cruelty, Coldheartedness = Ice
Ditzy, airheaded = Air, Gravity
Surprise = Time

[ERode]

Alright, so right now, there's basically a density of Disgust and Disappointment around Celia, which translates as Poison, Metal, and Water. Also, lotsa verbal bullying. Anaya's Knights can pretty easily beat up the mob.

As the Ascendancy moves into the stage, their Spark will shield them from the hypnotic wotagei dance of the Fanclub, but not the very mentally-loud music of Endsinger. Viva's getting the full effects of the hypnotic shenanigans again though, so she'll either self-harm or have to figure out another way to clear herself up. The full effects of the hypnotic pattern will make one move in sync with the music, regardless of what actions they take.

Helga, so long as she doesn't murderize any other spirits around her, will not become more angry and violent than she currently is. It's not Endsinger's rad tunes that makes people pissy, it's vacuuming up the lingering emotions of spirits that do.

I guess Emily's like, bleeding and shit. Little nerd.

[Majoraa]

Got a short thing up for Anaya.

Before anyone says anything. She works for both an embodiment of death and a corrupted business. Let her have a bit of chaotic fun. Besides, she's not really in the mood to murder anyone.

Yet.

Celia's just slightly confused.

There should still be a slight chance the music's effects can still be countered with Anaya's magic. Maybe.

[Majoraa]

So what could be a good gifted ability for Light users? Time's already taken, and I don't wanna rip off Dio.

[Crusader Lord]

@Majoras End Hmm....maybe hard light abilities, similar to the use of a green lantern ring to make constructs and such?

[ERode]

Hard light constructs seem pretty basic tbh.

[Shifter_Master]

Random assortment of potential ideas.

Hard angle turns for in flight spells. Delayed activation on spells. Aura's that either buff or damage. Projectiles that can only contact the target and just phase though everything else. Non-visible light spectrum access? Manipulation of ambient light sources. Light based pseudo-clones.

Avenues of thought; You can either play up the Light = Holy aspect, or you can mess around with light as a particle/wave formation.

[Ariamis]

There's also going for Light's association with enlightenment and knowledge like accurate recognition of enemy magic.

[FamishedPants]

Lasso of truth that shit

Alternatively make them capable of light speed and then hope you never run into a wall of null magic or the RP will end.

[BrokenPromise]

The ability to convert physical matter into energy, by way of breaking it down into energized photons to augment your spells.

Lasso of truth that shit

@FamishedPants

Wonder woman would be a pretty epic addition to Penrose, yes.

[ERode]

A lasso of truth is probably a more humane method of interrogation than what other stuff the Beacon Ascendancy does, ye.

[Majoraa]

"and Tent-rad hangs around street corners making people happy!”

Mika

...

Uh...I don't like the implications of this, Chief. .-.

[Ariamis]

@Majoras End
By the way, I edited my Cindy post a while back to correct the Aurora shenanigans to happen because of a new video instead of a misunderstanding.

[Majoraa]

Kinda tempted to have Anaya snag the halberd/guitar first. Would she be able to fix the strings or...?

[BrokenPromise]

@Majoras End Who cares fam? Snag that sun-gun and do epic stuff with it!
