It all began on a quiet day in Tokyo. Well, quiet until the monster showed up. The beast ravaged downtown, and nothing could seemingly even slow it down. And then a twelve-year-old-girl in a cute costume blasted it to bits.

Soon, magical girls straight out of anime were popping up in major cities around the world. London, Paris, Rio, Sydney. They were superstars like none other. Fighting evil, finding true love and best friends, and looking good doing it all. Every young girl wanted to be one, and you were no exception. Fan magazines? You devoured them. Youtube videos? You had playlists on loop. Official costumes? You bought every single one, playing dressup in preparation for the day you transformed into an icon of justice for real.

Alas, fate was not so kind, and as you grew up, you were resigned. Resigned to a ho-hum, average life.

Now, twenty years since the first magical girl appearance, a group of unsuspecting New York City women are about to get a shot at the dream that seemed to pass them by. But adult life is rough, and optimism in short supply. Can they recover the idealism and wonder of youth, or are they doomed to failure?

Hi there, and welcome to the RP! Inspired by classic magical girl anime like Sailor Moon, PreCure, and Cardcaptor Sakura, but with a twist: all the heroines this time around are middle-aged. What happens when childhood superpowers run into the hard brick wall called adulthood? Let's find out together, shall we?

I like the premise. It reminds me of a game by CompileHeart from a bit back.. But I can't remember what it was called... Something-something quartet or quintet? Anyway, looks fun.

Just a few qustions before I sign on for anything:

1. When our heroines transform, do they turn into the 10~14 year old magical girls, or do they retain their 30~ish bodies?

2. Will there be any obnoxious cute mascot-character(s) who work alongside/guide the heroines?

3. What 'type' of magical girl theme are you going for here? Is it along the lines of Sailor Moon where each girl has a "signature attack", or is it more free-form and varied like in Magical Girl lyrical Nanoha?

4. Are you aiming for more of a comedy, a drama or something grim-dark like Madoka with the story? Or a mix?

Those be all me questions for now~

1. The latter.

2. Of course!

3. Not familiar with Nanoha, but it sounds like the latter.

4. A dramedy, if that makes sense. Definitely not grimdark- if I wanted that, I would stick to real life.

I might be interested…

How old you mean when you say middle age?

I was thinking 30s- apologies to my fellow members of the age group.

Eh, close enough. 'Definitely not young' is what I was going for.

Two questions before I post the main thread: Should there be a team theme or not, and should we have one mascot for the entire group, or each woman have their own?

Both good questions. I'm happy either way

In lack of vote, I have decided that for maximum creative freedom, there will be no team theme and everyone gets their own mascot. OOC with lore coming today.

I didn’t have a preference either way, so this is fine.
