[OOC] Maho no Sedai - A new generation of Magical Girls RP

[Higanbana]

The General Plot

Long ago at the birth of modern society where our civilization made it's foothold in history, the negative emotions of Humanity have pooled and manifested together into great beasts of shadow and hatred that threatened the safety of those who gave rise to them. For Humanity to thrive the presence of such terrible creatures, magic was used to create a great artifact to control the essence of 5 great elements that made up the world and champion those who would stand against the forces of darkness. The essence of Fire, Nature, Lightning, Metal, and Ice were bound into Five Guardian Maidens who watched over the land. Throughout the countless ages the titles of Guardians were passed on to new, young vessels who carried on the task of protecting mankind from it's own dark emotions made manifest. But it was not enough.

They could not keep all of the beasts at bay, and soon a great Calamity came in the form of a beast far too powerful for the Five Guardians to keep at bay. All they could do in a desperate attempt to keep the creature at bay was place it under a great seal and leave it to slumber deep beneath the earth. The Guardians became bound to the land that the seal was placed upon, destined to stand watch over the Five Gates that served to maintain the seal. The calamity slumbering below the earth became known as simply "The Fallen," and with it being sealed away the strength of the other beasts that threatened humanity began to dwindle. With the weakening of the Shadow beasts, and the threat of "The Fallen" forgotten to time, Humanity began to thrive and great city was built around the magical sanctuaries where the gates stood.

It is now the modern era, and Nesel City as it came to be known is thriving. Under the watchful eye of the Five Magical Maidens, the citizens of the city live in ignorant peace as the beasts are kept at bay and hidden from the modern sight with the magical power of the great artifact that grants their power. The time has come, and a new generation of Guardian Maidens have been chosen; obtaining their tokens that bind them to the fate of Guardian. In modern culture, the popular term for their task has been referred to as "Magical Girls." With the old generation to guide them, they must rise to the task of protecting the Gate Seals and hunting the beasts of manifested negativity for the sake of all!

Character Example: An Ancient Magical Girl Guardian

---

---

Name: Aoi Yuri
Age: 20 (When Pictured)
Element: Nature
Championing Artifact: Believed to be a Hairpin
Generation: Ancient
Occupation: Temple Maiden
Appearance:
Pre-Transformation: In her suppressed form Aoi was her natural born self. She had long silky Brown hair that reached down to her ankles, and she wore a standard Miko shrine maiden uniform when attending to her duties at her temple. In her natural form, she had Dark Brown eyes with a wonderfully beautiful complexion. She stood at Five feet, Seven inches, and she was considered to be an incredible beauty in her time.

Post-Transformation (As Pictured): In her Magical Girl form, Aoi's clothes paralleled her shrine maiden attire as they reflected the image of what she thought her attire should be when performing her duties as a guardian. However her entire form took on a light purple aesthetic when she transformed, with her hair, eyes, and clothes becoming nearly lilac in color. In this form, she was significantly more pale and slightly shorter than her normal form.

Biography/Personality:
Aoi was always considered a gentle soul when she was a girl, having a particularly soft spot for Koi and pond lotus that she would make a hobby of tending to on a daily basis after her expected duties were fulfilled. When she was chosen as a guardian, before the times of the great seals, it was of no surprise to her that she was chosen to reflect the element of Nature as she had always felt a calling to the bountiful and beautiful plant life that thrived in her home. As her new duties dictated she left her home to travel the lands and seek out the great artifact that bestowed upon her the powers of the trees and flowers, using her gifts to protect all of humanity from the shadow beasts of old. In her culture they were referred to as Yokai, though you'd be hard pressed to find a guardian who still refers to them as such. She served dutifully, until it was her time to pass on her title and she faded into history like all those who had served before her.
To her friends, she was known as kind, methodical, and prudent in all aspects of her life. She was known to collect flowers in her spare time and studying the arts of medicine in every culture she visited in order to better use her abilities for the sake of others. She was fond of cats, and disliked travelling by sea. Not much else is known about this ancient guardian, though many experts in the historical events of the time note around twenty years after she was chosen as a guardian, the art of Kampo became incredibly popular in her homeland....
It was believed that her championing artifact took the form of a long hairpin that she was often seen wearing in her travels.

YAY! Excited to see what you come up with, thank you for your interest!

Reposting interest heeeeere.

Still thinking of stuff.

[CelesteEste]

Question, how "raw" should elemental powers be? Like, not what I am thinking of doing, but should fire powers be raw elemental burst of flame / lava or could it be something like, the creation of a fire lance / whip or the ability to throw fireworks and the like?

@CelesteEste

Depends on the generation of the character you're running. Ideally a new generation magical girl is quite literally out of the box so to say, like maybe a week since they were chosen as a guardian. So the extent of their powers will be incredibly raw in practice until they either play around with it and figure it out on their own (which will take a lot longer for them to figure out form and control), or they are instructed directly by their elder.

As for the elders, as creative as you can get. Molten lava can be arguably Fire or Metal depending on perspective. Similarly can the water magical girl control the water inside of plants? My personal take would be yes, with extreme difficulty and imprecision since it's like manipulating a puppet by their strings rather than by their arms directly. If that makes sense.

So, the primary difference is the new fire magical girl would be needing to really focus just to spew fire out of her hands while the elder could say smack her hands together Full Metal Alchemist style and part her hands to a literal fire lance and throw it to cause massive explosions.

So tl:dr, raw or refined relative to their experience. And mind you, the elder magical girls are also "past their prime" and are slowly declining in power while the new ones are slowly rising in power.

I hope it helps!

Biography/Personality
Koharu is a girl who always tries to look on the bright side of things, to always be positive no matter the situation. For those who know of her home life - its a miracle she can be that way. Koharu lives with an alcoholic father and a mother who barely acknowledges her, she finds it difficult to be in the house with either of them and spends a lot of her time outside, not returning home until the last minute and then spending all her time in her room. She struggles with finding a purpose in life. The only thing that Koharu has been able to find a passion for is swords - her grandfather used to make them for shows and props, she loved to watch him and wanted to learn how to swing them just as gracefully as he did. The times she spent with her grandfather were her favorite, when he died it hit her hard. He was the only person in her family who actually paid attention to her.
Koharu never expected to be chosen as a Guardian, to have the fate of protecting a seal thrust upon her. But after holding her artifact and feeling the warmth radiating from them she came to realize that perhaps this was a way for to find her place - she finally had a reason to keep on moving forward. She also sees this as a way to makes friends, something that she has a hard time with. She feels awkward around new people and doesn't know how to talk to people.
On the outside Koharu comes off as obnoxious and loud, she doesn't always think things through and will make mistakes. She is fiercely loyal though and takes her role as a Guardian very seriously, though trying to balance that with high school is harder that it looks. Her artifact tales the appearance of two chopsticks, on a normal day she wears them in her hair as decoration - when she needs to transform they transform with her to look like two katana.

@Allycat

Wonderful! This is a wonderful example of what I had in mind! You can go ahead and place it in the characters section, and when we get a few more approved characters I'll give us a starting post and we'll get this show on the road! I'll be sure to tag you into the post when we're ready.

I'll also claim my Characters and Elements in 2 characters so everyone gets their chance at their preferred elements.

Thank you for your participation!

[CelesteEste]

I have a few ideas for newcomers and I am still trying to decide which one best fits the RP, here is my elder magical girl though.

The steel gourmet, Rin Ishiyama

Name: Rin Ishiyama
Age: 31
Magical Element: Metal
Championing Artifact: A single glove
Gender: Female
Generation of Magical girl: Elder Guardian
Occupation: Waitress / Baker

Appearance:



-Pre-transformation
In her civilian form, Rin is a short woman with wavy brown hair going down to her neck, typically accompanied by a beret or other type of soft-looking hat should she not be on the uniform she uses when working for a local bakery.
-Post-transformation
The transformation makes her a bit taller, her hair getting straighter but being placed in a complex hairdo, her eyes also gain a honey-like colour. Based on a baker's outfit, with a chef's hat and an apron, the orange colour coded uniform gives a feeling of softness and sweetness that might not match how hard her magical, bow-decorated, kitchen utensils can hit.

Biography/Personality:
Rin had a pretty normal early life, she was an average girl with an average family. A happy-go-lucky girl, not exactly shy but very polite and not one to approach others by her own will, very dedicated at whatever she did and one who liked to keep things neat and organized. Like most girls of her time, she liked to watch magical girl shows. Though her favourite shows were the more whimsical ones, once a certain show popularized the concept of teams of magical girl soldiers, she lost interest.

Ironically, she found herself chosen to be a magical girl soldier, and although she had her small defiances here and there, typically by being extra silly in her power usage, she still dedicated all of her time to it. Perhaps too much, sacrificing much of her daily life, her school grades and many personal relationships so she could be out and about patrolling the streets. She didn't land any job like the ones she wanted, ending up working as a waitress in a small bakery near her home and selling her own pastries in the weekends, living in a small house with not many friends outside of other magical girls and even those...

Time always moves forward, and as much as her cheery personality conceals it, there is clearly some reluctance on her part on passing on the torch and accept her diminishing skills, after all, once the torch is gone, will she, the one who spent so much of her time on this, be left in the dark?

@CelesteEste

This is acceptable!

As I may be asked to address it at some point and I want to be polite and forward in my duties as a GM I feel obligated to note there were some minor grammatical errors present and mixed uses of "in" and "on" may be confusing but these did not impede my ability to understand the text presented. So just be sure to double check and all.

I like her upbeat personality and I am eager to see how she'll use her metal kinetic abilities in fun and unexpected ways. As a mentor character her interactions with the group will be fun to see, but bear in mind they have lives and such so mind her schedules. I look forward to RP'ing with you if you are still ready to play! Feel free to move her to the characters section and I will add you into the roster.

Also, I encourage you all to remember you can play one character in each generation to fill in the times your characters would not be present for. If you feel you would have to force a character into a scenario often feel free to submit a second character and switch them off when you feel the necessity!

[Mahou Shoujo]

Anya, Magical Girl of Ice

Name: Roksanya (Anya) Alekseevna Salkova.
Age: 18.
Magical Element: Ice.
Championing Artifact: An antique steel shovel (can be summoned to her side).
Gender: Female.
Generation: New.
Occupation: She is being groomed, along with her siblings, to help in her father's company.

Personality: A girl with an expression that is almost consistently as smooth as the element she controls, she sometimes may be perceived as apathetic. Smiles are not exactly rare, however true ones often are. Anya finds the most fun in being with her family, but as they are all pushed apart by their goal-driven lives, she finds herself smiling less and less these days. When transformed, the atmosphere around Anya can teeter on the edge of eerie. But rest assured, she is on the side of justice... or so she says.

Additional Notes on Appearance: Anya is a pale, slender sort of girl, with no muscles or considerable curves to be spoken of. Her hair, smooth tresses of platinum, is straight and long and doesn't contrast at all with her skin. Her eyes are a lovely blue-violet.

Biography: As a child born into a family with considerable wealth, it was already flowing out of her pockets the moment she was born. It obviously meant Anya didn't have to work as hard as her peers around her but this never stopped her from having the determination that she does today. Ever since her mother became sick, whether it was in school, sports, or simply helping out around the house, she would do it without question. She had few friends, but those that she did have were precious to her. A snowy evening in December marked a moment in her life that would become unforgettable. Anya and friends were marching their way home when they heard terrifying howling similar to that of dogs. It happened quickly, and not a moment later, frightening creatures emerged from the shadows and pounced, snapping at her friends. Anya felt her blood freeze over as she scrambled to help with whatever she could. A sudden voice from above screamed something, but she could not hear. Then, a shovel shot down, striking into the snow. It was obviously horrible for digging snow with its antique metal blade, but she had a feeling it was perfect for digging ice. Anya picked it up, and felt herself transforming immediately.

Here's mine. ^^

@DamnTheGacha

Alright, here we go! I think I got everything, but I'll fix anything I need to tomorrow.

Sarah Mulryan, Tyrant of Lightning

Name: Sarah Mulryan
Age: 35
Magical Element: Lightning
Championing Artifact: An old Necklace
Gender: Female
Generation of Magical girl: Old
Occupation: Museum Curator/Private Tutor
Appearance:
Pre-transformation:
A tall, imposing woman Miss Mulryan stands at a sold five nine, about your average height for a male. Often found dressed in business attire, fancy dresses, with a well kept and immaculate appearance one would expect of any socialite. With a toned, healthy body, its clear she takes great care of her physical abilities and self despite being a single mother.

post transformation

Post transformation...well...this probably isn't too appropriate for a single, widowed mother? Not that she cares. Sarah's transformed appearance leaves very little to her imagination. With attire evoking some sort of ancient culture, her dress is airy, easy to move in, and allows for maximum flexibility and allows for her to fight optimally.

Personality:
Ask almost anyone of the old generation, and they'd tell you that your friendly socialite wasn't always so. In fact, in her youth she was quite the troublemaker. A delinquent even, leaving many wondering why she had even been chosen in the first place. Violent, selfish, and mildly cruel in her early to mid teen years, she did fight a particularly vicious Shadow Beast, but always ended up seeming to cause just as many problems as she solved. It wasn't until she turned 18 did she finally literally get some sense beaten into her - still, best not to piss her off. Under her friendly, motherly exterior, that old rough and tumble personality still shines through every now and then. The 'Tyrant of Lightning' title wasn't simply given lightly.

Now, Sarah is a far more approachable person. A wealthy socialite, she spends her days doing private tutoring in history, as well as being a curator at a local museum, often coordinating exhibits and making sure all the artifacts are taken care of and other general duties. She cares greatly for both her daughter and any children, and often makes regular donations to orphanages and other homeless shelters. Has trained and studied several forms of combat, mostly involving martial weapons.

Biography:
Sarah has had a rough upbringing. Orphaned at a young age, but soon adopted by a military family, her rebellious attitude during her teen years might seem somewhat understandable. Sarah was a nightmare of a child, often getting into fights, got expelled from several school and overall simply was not a very good person to be around. Even becoming a magical girl couldn't seem to curb her more violent tendencies, though she did have something to direct all that energy towards now - the evil creatures plaguing the city. Her aggressive, merciless nature towards them made her a bit of a shunned element even among the other magical girls. Didn't help she was kind of an ass to all of them.

Things change though, and after getting nearly killed and another magical girl rescuing her, she managed to clean up her act. She even met a man when she was 20, and intended to start a family, though such hopes were dashed when he was killed by some rogue shadow beasts. Now with a child to take care of, she landed a job as first as a teacher, then a museum curator where she still works.

She personally, has no qualms with passing the torch to others. She is entirely fine with letting the new generation handle things. She's an old woman now, and the future is always something that belongs to the new...but why, does it have to be her own daughter?

Isana Mulryan, Fledgling Tyrant

Name: Isana Mulryan
Age: 15
Magical Element: Metal
Championing Artifact: Ruby Red Earrings
Gender: Female
Generation of Magical girl: New
Occupation: High School Student/part time museum worker
Apperance:
Out of Costume
Taking after her mother, Isana is fairly lucky in the gene pool. A bit taller than guys her age, she dresses as one might expect of her more well off station. White hair, amber colored eyes and pale skin, she gives off a rather wealthy and exotic look until she opens her mouth and shatters any princessy appearance she might have given.

Transformed

Transformed:
Taking cues from military uniforms, her transformed appearance seems to embrace her somewhat fighty nature in that regard. A black uniform with a simple rain cloak, red trimmed fur collar, military cap, tights with heavy duty military boots.

Personality:
Isana takes a bit from her mother, though thankfully she's a lot more chill when she was her age. A tomboy through and through, Isana could care less for girly things. She prefers spending her time fighting, playing sports, and you can bet your butt she's eagerly looking forward to wet her blade on some shadow beast blood. Friendly, upbeat, and generally good-natured, you can find her when she's out always looking for something to get her blood boiling. At school she often gets into trouble for starting fights, much to her mothers amused chagrin because she knows exactly where she gets it from, but aside from that is a fairly exemplary student with high grades. A model student, especially in the athletics department.

At home though, she's basically a lazy neet that wants to do nothing but laze around and eat junk food all day. The only thing that seems to get her motivated is the thought of a fun little brawl.

Biography:
Born to a twenty year old mother and magical girl Sarah Mulryan, Isana's had a fairly normal life growing up, aside from her rebellious tendencies. School life, friends, getting into fights, sports, and being trained in a few forms of martial combat by her mother. A fairly normal life and normal upbringing, not particularly aware of her mothers magical girl past, something Sarah wasn't too keen on letting her even know about until fate deemed Isana worthy of being one herself.

Walking home from a friends house after watching a sporting event on TV with them, was when she was set on by a rather vicious beast. Most people would have probably freaked and run. Perhaps it was because she was just as mildly insane as her mother was at that age, but she stood her ground - and in the midst of it, she was blessed with her artifact.

She likes to say, if asked about this particular encounter
"Ahahaha, what? Scared? Naaah, if anything it was exciting. Watching its head go 'plllbt' was hilarious."

I did have her as lightning, but someone snagged the role before I could so I changed her to nature :3

Sara was born and raised with a strong sense of justice. Her mother worked at the local hospital, spending long hours saving the lives of so many people as a heart surgeon. Her father worked as a wonderful and dedicated police detective, catching criminals that always seemed to elude others. Seeing both of her parents doing such good work inspired Sara to do the same, she was always kind to others and helped anyone she saw in trouble. She was the girl that stood up to the bullies - and got teased because of it. Sara never let if faze her though, she kept doing what she thought was right and just. Going down such a path it was only natural that after graduation high school Sara choose to go to the police academy.
When she was chosen to become a Guardian Sara saw it as an opportunity, a chance for her to protect the people, to be a "Warrior of Justice" as she always put it. She worked hard at helping and working with her fellow Guardians, seeing them as her closest friends. However just because she was Guardian it didn't mean that Sara stopped perusing her dream at become a great detective like her father. It was hard and there were many times she didn't think she could balance the two jobs - but she did it.
Now that it is time for her to pass the torch Sara can finally concentrate fully on the dream she had set for her. Sara realizes that she can't continue being a Guardian forever and gladly accepts the role of being a teacher for the new generation.

Post transformation...well...this probably isn't too appropriate for a single, widowed mother? Not that she cares. Sarah's transformed appearance leaves very little to her imagination. With attire evoking some sort of ancient culture, her dress is airy, easy to move in, and allows for maximum flexibility and allows for her to fight optimally.

Personality:
Ask almost anyone of the old generation, and they'd tell you that your friendly socialite wasn't always so. In fact, in her youth she was quite the troublemaker. A delinquent even, leaving many wondering why she had even been chosen in the first place. Violent, selfish, and mildly cruel in her early to mid teen years, she did fight a particularly vicious Shadow Beast, but always ended up seeming to cause just as many problems as she solved. It wasn't until she turned 18 did she finally literally get some sense beaten into her - still, best not to piss her off. Under her friendly, motherly exterior, that old rough and tumble personality still shines through every now and then. The 'Tyrant of Lightning' title wasn't simply given lightly.

Now, Sarah is a far more approachable person. A wealthy socialite, she spends her days doing private tutoring in history, as well as being a curator at a local museum, often coordinating exhibits and making sure all the artifacts are taken care of and other general duties. She cares greatly for both her daughter and any children, and often makes regular donations to orphanages and other homeless shelters. Has trained and studied several forms of combat, mostly involving martial weapons.

Biography:
Sarah has had a rough upbringing. Orphaned at a young age, but soon adopted by a military family, her rebellious attitude during her teen years might seem somewhat understandable. Sarah was a nightmare of a child, often getting into fights, got expelled from several school and overall simply was not a very good person to be around. Even becoming a magical girl couldn't seem to curb her more violent tendencies, though she did have something to direct all that energy towards now - the evil creatures plaguing the city. Her aggressive, merciless nature towards them made her a bit of a shunned element even among the other magical girls. Didn't help she was kind of an ass to all of them.

Things change though, and after getting nearly killed and another magical girl rescuing her, she managed to clean up her act. She even met a man when she was 20, and intended to start a family, though such hopes were dashed when he was killed by some rogue shadow beasts. Now with a child to take care of, she landed a job as first as a teacher, then a museum curator where she still works.

She personally, has no qualms with passing the torch to others. She is entirely fine with letting the new generation handle things. She's an old woman now, and the future is always something that belongs to the new...but why, does it have to be her own daughter?

Isana Mulryan, Fledgling Tyrant

Name: Isana Mulryan
Age: 15
Magical Element: Metal
Championing Artifact: Ruby Red Earrings
Gender: Female
Generation of Magical girl: New
Occupation: High School Student/part time museum worker
Apperance:
Out of Costume
Taking after her mother, Isana is fairly lucky in the gene pool. A bit taller than guys her age, she dresses as one might expect of her more well off station. White hair, amber colored eyes and pale skin, she gives off a rather wealthy and exotic look until she opens her mouth and shatters any princessy appearance she might have given.

Transformed

Transformed:
Taking cues from military uniforms, her transformed appearance seems to embrace her somewhat fighty nature in that regard. A black uniform with a simple rain cloak, red trimmed fur collar, military cap, tights with heavy duty military boots.

Personality:
Isana takes a bit from her mother, though thankfully she's a lot more chill when she was her age. A tomboy through and through, Isana could care less for girly things. She prefers spending her time fighting, playing sports, and you can bet your butt she's eagerly looking forward to wet her blade on some shadow beast blood. Friendly, upbeat, and generally good-natured, you can find her when she's out always looking for something to get her blood boiling. At school she often gets into trouble for starting fights, much to her mothers amused chagrin because she knows exactly where she gets it from, but aside from that is a fairly exemplary student with high grades. A model student, especially in the athletics department.

At home though, she's basically a lazy neet that wants to do nothing but laze around and eat junk food all day. The only thing that seems to get her motivated is the thought of a fun little brawl.

Biography:
Born to a twenty year old mother and magical girl Sarah Mulryan, Isana's had a fairly normal life growing up, aside from her rebellious tendencies. School life, friends, getting into fights, sports, and being trained in a few forms of martial combat by her mother. A fairly normal life and normal upbringing, not particularly aware of her mothers magical girl past, something Sarah wasn't too keen on letting her even know about until fate deemed Isana worthy of being one herself.

Walking home from a friends house after watching a sporting event on TV with them, was when she was set on by a rather vicious beast. Most people would have probably freaked and run. Perhaps it was because she was just as mildly insane as her mother was at that age, but she stood her ground - and in the midst of it, she was blessed with her artifact.

She likes to say, if asked about this particular encounter
"Ahahaha, what? Scared? Naaah, if anything it was exciting. Watching its head go 'plllbt' was hilarious."

@Rune_Alchemist

Very lovely character sheets! I love them both and I think it'll be an interesting twist to have the generation gap be... Well, familial sometimes. The dynamic still maintains the purpose of the 2 different element rule as well, as the mother would likely want to guide and tutor her daughter but different elements function differently so she likely would only be do so much. This pairing adds a dynamic relationship to the narrative, allows others to easily participate with them with purpose, and overall I love their designs and histories!

Approved. You may move them over to the characters tab and I will add you to our cast list!

And with that, while we're still waiting for Celes to move their approved character to the Character tab, I think my grace period is officially over and I can select my elements if that's alright with everyone! Then from there we'll get this show on the road! Cue the opening!

I did have her as lightning, but someone snagged the role before I could so I changed her to nature :3

Biography/Personality
Sara was born and raised with a strong sense of justice. Her mother worked at the local hospital, spending long hours saving the lives of so many people as a heart surgeon. Her father worked as a wonderful and dedicated police detective, catching criminals that always seemed to elude others. Seeing both of her parents doing such good work inspired Sara to do the same, she was always kind to others and helped anyone she saw in trouble. She was the girl that stood up to the bullies - and got teased because of it. Sara never let if faze her though, she kept doing what she thought was right and just. Going down such a path it was only natural that after graduation high school Sara choose to go to the police academy.
When she was chosen to become a Guardian Sara saw it as an opportunity, a chance for her to protect the people, to be a "Warrior of Justice" as she always put it. She worked hard at helping and working with her fellow Guardians, seeing them as her closest friends. However just because she was Guardian it didn't mean that Sara stopped perusing her dream at become a great detective like her father. It was hard and there were many times she didn't think she could balance the two jobs - but she did it.
Now that it is time for her to pass the torch Sara can finally concentrate fully on the dream she had set for her. Sara realizes that she can't continue being a Guardian forever and gladly accepts the role of being a teacher for the new generation.

@Allycat

Oh and as I was writing that, we have another Elder! I love it, fun backstory and a good motivation for justice. Can't wait to see how they interact with the group! Guess this solidifies me as Magical Girl Elder Ice, and new gen Magical Girl of Nature.

Edit - OH GEEZ I FORGOT

Approved! Go ahead and move them over to the Character section and I'll add it into the cast listing!

I can be new gen Magical Girl of Nature

@sassy1085

Unfortunately at this point, I think between all 5 people since one has verbalized their intent to play a new generation magical girl along with me currently making my character, I think we have officially reached our current max capacity.

I'm very sorry! I will properly change the availability as soon as I have my character sheet up.

Thank you for your consideration!

Kori Fallow

---

Normal

Transformed

---

Name: Kori Fallow
Age: 14
Magical Element: Nature
Artifact: A small whistle
Gender: Female
Generation: New
Occupation: Middle Schooler (8th grade)

Appearance:

Normal: In her base form, Kori is a very average looking young girl with black hair standing at roughly 4 ft 6 in. She has Black hair and clear blue eyes. Kaori typically wears her hair down reaching down to her shoulders, but at times has been known to wear her hair in a ponytail or even a side ponytail. Her clothes are notably worn, frayed a little in certain places around the base in her skirts, dresses, and pants. Her school clothes seem to be too big for her, and when they become dirty it's not uncommon for them to stay that way for a few days at a time. Outside of school hours she wears an assortment of shirts that seem too big for her as well but tied on her side to make them fit around her waist, while she wears a pair of shorts or pants that seem to change colors every few days. Her shoes however never seem to change at all regardless of the day of the week, simple black tennis shoes broken in and very comfy looking.

Transformed: In her transformed form, Kori's hair becomes a vibrant shade of Green and her eyes become an amber shade. Her clothes magically become an elegant black sundress, adorned by a various changing set of flowers that decorate her. Her tennis shoes become lovely heels, although admittedly she struggles to walk in them sometimes. Though she never says anything out loud, she feels very lovely in this form....

Biography:
Kori Fallow is a kind, sweet, optimistic girl. She doesn't recall much of her youth, but what she does remember is just how loud it was in rooms just beyond her reach. Whenever she would make her way inside nothing was ever particularly out of the ordinary, just her mother and her father sitting across from each other, looking down at her and smiling.



That's all they would ever say... And no matter what she would say, it seemed like they were never really listening. But Kori was never lonely. She would go outside every day and spend her time catching frogs and talking to her mother's garden. Her mother told her once that if you speak to flowers, it makes them happy and they bloom big and bright. She would speak to them every single day, and she while she did she would pick the weeds that her father explained to her wanted to hurt the flowers. She was never lonely.
But then one day, her mother wasn't home when she came back from school. She called her father and told him she couldn't find her mother, and that day he came home sooner than usual. She was confused, scared even, but her father seemed like he wouldn't speak to her that night. All he did was look at her then down at something at the table, and tell her to go play. So Kori did just that, and spoke to her flowers and her frogs. Her mother never came back home but her father swore to her that everything would be just fine and gave her the first smile she had seen from him in a long time. His smile was bright and wide, and even though something wasn't the same in his eyes she felt everything would be just fine.
Soon after that, the food began to become more and more plain. Her clothes began to fit her tighter and tighter for longer than usual. Her father began coming home later and later, and her mother's garden began to wilt little by little. She decided then and there that she would never see her father with those eyes again. She learned to cook, she lied about her sizes, she began to weed the garden every single day, and instead of speaking to the flowers she learned to sing a happy tune instead. She was never lonely. Not even once.
Early in the month of December in the year she turned 14; she went out into her garden as usual but something was wrong, large prints of some kind were embedded into the moist soil, trampling some of her plants and leading into the woods. She pouted a bit, and she went in after whatever animal decided to track through her garden to give it a piece of her mind! But what she found was more than she expected.... A large shadowy looking frog creature waded through a polluted looking pool that seemed to flow through a large red gate of some kind. It smelled foul, and soon noticed a shocked and terrified Kori. In an instant the large creature leaped into the air towards her, forcing her to involuntarily let out a shout. But miraculously, as soon as she clenched her fist and closed her eyes- nothing happened....
When she opened her eyes, the creature was gone. Replaced by a blossoming meadow seemingly removed from the season it was supposed to be, a clean reflecting pool where the polluted one once was, and a little croaking frog similar to the ones she used to catch flopping into her lap. She looked towards the gate, gazing at the pool now teaming with water lotuses and little critters of the forest. This was naturally very confusing, but this place brought her peace somehow. It wasn't until the little frog flopped his foot onto her hand she realized she was holding onto something... A small, silver whistle. It befuddled her, where could something like this come from? She couldn't answer, but somehow it made her feel safe. It filled her with a sense of responsibility, and the feeling that from this point on she could finally bring happiness to the people she cared about most. And she couldn't help but whisper to herself:



.... And on that day, she made her first new friend. Nimsy, The Winter Froggy. Who once given a little habitat Kori had from her days of frog catching in her youth, promptly went to sleep for the winter.

Yuki "The Ice Queen" Mori

Normal

Transformed

---

Name: Yuki Mori
Age: 32
Magical Element: Ice
Artifact: Fountain Pen, Never runs out of ink.
Generation: Elder
Occupation: Data Entry Position, at Frisco Mobile Inc., The Standing Elder Guardian of Ice.

Appearance:
Normal: In her Normal state, Yuki is a very well kept and proper woman. She is often seen with a scowl on her face, and occasionally can be seen wearing glasses to help her see papers, books, and things of that nature. She has Black hair, and dark brown eyes. She is rather standard in height for women of her age, and she maintains a well managed weight to compliment her figure. Due to her very strict and diligent daily self care regiment, she is considered to be incredibly beautiful within her office. However, after a long day at work, she rarely would receive such compliments from those who wouldn't know her. When not working, her clothes are still rather sharp and stylish. You will never find even a hair on her clothes when she goes out into town.

Transformed: Much to her own embarrassment, her transformed form is rather childish by comparison. This is likely due to her secret enjoyment of fantasy characters and her love of online roleplay with some friends in the classic MMORPG game: Legends of Motira. Her hair turns a bright vibrant shade of blue, along with her eyes, and her trusty pen becomes a long staff she uses to cast her magic. She even has a little finishing touch mark on her cheek. Beyond her Black mage like hood, her outfit seems to fit well with what you would find in a classic magical girl anime.

Biography/Personality:
Ever since she was a young girl Yuki was placed with high expectation from her very strict and traditional family, an expectation she not only met but exceeded. She was the type to excel in academics, always take top prize in academic competitions, and lead the student body to the point of annoyance from her classmates. When she was given the duty of Guardian, this prowess and feeling of responsibility carried over as if she had known all her life she was destined for this task. Clearly she couldn't have known that, but of course she would be glad for her peers to think so.
She was known to treat her fellow guardians coldly, and command them as if she was naturally in charge. This often caused conflict among the generation of the Elder guardians. It wasn't long before they found out she had one major weakness: Being given the nickname Yuyu caused her to become so embarrassed she began to steam and failed to make eye contact with anyone. Eventually, she began to act more on her own than any guardian did, especially after the Guardians graduated from school and pursued their adult lives. They would all still see each other occasionally during fights, but she never truly warmed up to the rest of the group again.
In her personal life, she began to focus solely on her career, ignoring her friends entirely and adopting a much more strict lifestyle. This strict nature bled into her duties as well, any interaction with her was expected to be riddled with criticisms, micromanaging, and lectures. Among her office, her community, and her fellow guardians, this strict cold demeanor earned her the title "Ice Queen." It wasn't very surprising to find out she never really had a real romantic relationship, and it's even comical to see her attempt to communicate with others in a way that doesn't immediately turn them irritated with the way she presents herself.
With the new generation of magical girls on the horizon she hopes to pass on the title of Guardian of Ice to a competent successor so she may focus all her energy on her career plan, and climb the corporate ladder to the position of CFO of the company. Strict, direct, and critical to a fault, being her junior means being burdened with the expectations that you will match the very standards that she holds herself to as the pinnacle of the vigilant, elite, Guardian.... Just don't tease her too much about her outfit.
