[OOC] Mahou Shoujo No 30 Dai- a spoof rp!

[Silver Carrot]

Going to restyle my character as a teacher. Possibly a headmistress.

[Izurich]

I'm almost done with my CS. The only things left are some minor touch-ups in the Other Details, as well as deciding on her ULTIMATE SIGNATURE ATTACK, and if I want a magic weapon/tool or not. Oh, and I guess her transformed name as well.
Anyway, here's what I've got so far:

---

--CS--

@Xaltwind

Oh hey, nice, tall boing mommy to my midget flat shorty.

I have a couple ideas:
- Ultimate Move: I still unironically think a Final Spark that deals damage in all three elements + force will be dope on her.
- Transformed Name: I suggest 'Vermata', a corruption of 'Permata', which means gemstone in Indonesian.

[Xaltwind]

Oh hey, nice, tall boing mommy to my midget flat shorty.

@Izurich

Hey, hey! The other ladies so far haven't exactly been slouches in the torso-department either y'know! :<

I was actually considering that idea, in lack of anything better. Another idea I had was something like a gigantic, absolutely massive diamond sword or something, that just crashes down from heaven and pierces the earth, then shattering into a gazillion diamond shards that go ERTRYWHERE... But that seemed a bit too... Uhm... Unwieldy. xD

[Silver Carrot]

Gonna aim to finish my CS tonight

[BrokenPromise]

Here's my character. @Ponn helped me name some of her attacks, so thanks for that.

Isra Mahmud

^{(Click image for bigger/full version)}

Isra Mahmud

”Old relics can have contemporary appeal.”

33 y/o | Female | 150 LBs | 5’8”
Egypt | Memphis

Personality

When people think of Egypt, they often think of the pyramids, mummies, and other antiquated things. But modern Egypt is a bit different than it was thousands of years ago. While it’s clear Egyptians revere the past, they have embraced the future just like any other country. The same cannot be said for everyone, and that includes Isra Mahmud.

Were it not for her appearance, you would swear she was a teenager. Isra likes to gossip, use slang terms, indulge in buying trinkets, and has every big aspiration under the sun from writing this decade’s best fantasy trilogy to climbing Mount Everest. What doesn’t interest her is everything in her adult life, which she unironically calls “adulting.” The idea of settling down or pursuing a career with a future is a surefire way to get her to roll her eyes.

Most would describe Isra as being a little insufferable. Her wit is sharp, and she looks happy for absolutely no reason. And when she isn’t grinning like some asshole, she’s probably chewing someone out for some behavior she finds irreprehensible. Yes, she’s really fun on dates. That said, children tend to enjoy her quite a bit.

Backstory

Anyone living in a first world country would likely get culture shock if they were to visit Egypt. Aside from everyday commodities being prohibitively expensive, you have hundred year old buildings standing beside brand new ones and super shopping centers going up beside slum districts. The revolution in 2011 as well as the inflating American Dollar has made it difficult for the average Egyptian to survive.They have far less than their western counterparts, but are more positive about their situation. But Isra Mahmud is not an average Egyptian. Her parents owned a museum and were able to dip into Egypt’s huge tourist industry. They weren’t part of the super elite, but their daughter was well taken care of. Isra was able to enjoy every “basic” comfort the world had to offer, from a good tuition to owning her own smartphone.

While Egypt isn’t quite Islam, they do borrow a lot of their culture from them. This includes the requirement for girls to be submissive towards men, and to allow said men to take care of them. Something about that never sat right with Isra, but it wasn’t like she could escape it. Her mother assisted her father, and it was the same thing for her friends. It was an unfortunate yet inevitable part of her reality. She would be married to someone who was capable enough to run the art museum and she would be expected to help her husband with all of his endeavors. Part of her preparation for this was to go to college for a business degree, and what Egyptian family wouldn’t send their daughter to one of the best western colleges?

That was where she got a taste of that freedom she was yearning for. The woman of the west could wear what they wanted, go where they wanted, interact with who they wanted, and were not expected to serve their husbands to the same degree they would have back home. After spending years living by her own rules and “studying” late into the night, she couldn’t go back. It wasn’t difficult for Isra to shake her parents off her trail. After drifting around college for a few years, she told her parents a little lie: That she had gotten a fantastic job opportunity and found a wealthy man to take care of her. Having your child live a better life than you is every Egyptian parent’s dream. Why would they command her to come home?

Something Isra hadn’t accounted for was the responsibility that came with her new freedoms. Mommy and daddy had been paying her way, so she didn’t have to worry about trying to support herself. Her parents saw no need to continue supporting her, assuming her husband-to-be had it all under control. College was prohibitively expensive and not something Isra could afford while working a minimum wage job. She left college without a degree and only had enough money to survive for a few weeks tops. Her student visa would most certainly expire now that she was no longer learning. Returning home wasn’t an option. Her parents would be more than furious if they learned how unproductive she had been with her time overseas. Though if the local government decided to come after her, she’d get deported and face her parents anyway. But even if neither of those scenarios came to pass, was this it? Was she supposed to work as a grocery bagger until she died?

Meanwhile, magical girls were starting to become more prevalent in the media. Now that was Isra’s dream job. Getting adored by everyone, having powers, seeing the world, all under a superhero’s guise. And all you had to do was show up to beat up the monster of the week when things got crazy. Scoring a job like that would be amazing. But it was up to luck if you got picked to become a magical girl or not. The entire process wasn’t very well understood, but it wasn’t a career choice you signed up for.

Or was it?

That’s how one add in the paper made it sound. “Magical girl tryouts! Test subject needed!” It was a small ad with little information, but she called the number anyway. It didn’t seem like her status as an illegal alien or college drop out would bar her from entry. The pay would let Isra continue to live in the comfort she had become accustomed to. It all seemed a little shady, a little questionable, but Isra was too desperate to question anything.

Turns out, Isra was one of fifty women to show up. What ensued was something akin to an intense elimination tournament that had nothing to do with magical girls and everything to do with enduring physically and mentally unpleasant challenges. At the end of the week, Isra emerged the winner and met the “wise scientist” who hosted the event. As it turns out, the wise scientist was looking for the perfect candidate to turn into a magical girl, with the tournament being a way of finding the most suitable among them. Though they admitted that it was mostly for their entertainment and they had way more practical ways to select a subject. This was followed by some laughter, before turning Isra into a magical girl.

Now Isra serves the wise scientist, who seems more interested in being amused than bettering humanity or completing any real goal. But that’s just fine for her. So long as she can continue to live like a carefree child, she’ll gladly do whatever’s asked of her.

Other Details

- Yellow is her favorite color.
- She may not have finished college, but she’s computer literate and understands how global economies work. It’s still an incomplete education.
- She can also read, write, and speak several languages, but this was the result of her parent’s teaching rather than the college.
- She can out drink you.
- Might be a bit of a genki.

Osiris

^{(Click image for bigger/full version)}

Osiris

”Go ahead, scatter my body across Egypt. It won’t stop me from coming back.”

Immortality | Insects | Bruiser

Overview

Osiris is Isra’s magical girl form, created by the wise scientist. It was inspired by Egyptian mythology and then married with the most advanced technology the omniverse has to offer, because she thought it was funny. She’s a durable cyborg with insect-like qualities. Perhaps “Khepri” would have been a better name for Isra’s magical girl form, but the scarab-faced god isn’t as well known and you’d really have to be at least twenty percent as smart as the wise scientist to understand. Osiris accels in close quarters combat where she can make the most of her robust form and insect swarms.

Also she gives off “dark magical girl” vibes, in case it wasn’t evident from the picture.

Powers/Attacks

Name:S.C.A.R.A.B.(Self-Contained Aerial Refractive Aether Booster)

Range: Self
Power: Minor
Description:

Osiris “backpack” is capable of generating hard light constructs to act as wings. This doesn’t enable flight, but it can help her glide, high jump, air dash, reverse momentum, etc.

Name:S.P.I.D.E.R. (Supplementary Powered Implementation Devices for Enemy Removal)

Range: Up to ten feet
Power: Minor
Description:

Sometimes, two hands isn’t enough. Osiris can construct up to four additional arms to really deliver the MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA! Alternatively, she can create cyber organic tendrils to latch onto stuff with.

Name:S.W.A.R.M. (Synthetic Weaponized Ancillary Robotic Minions)

Range: Within one-hundred feet
Power: Minor
Description:

Osirus can conjure up a swarm of insect-like nanomachines to do her bidding. They can’t do a lot of damage on their own, but are capable of making repairs, forming a barrier, or momentarily blinding an opponent by swarming their head.

Name:L.O.C.U.S.T. (Localized Omniphasic Cloud for Uninhibited Swift Transit)

Range: Within one-hundred feet
Power: Medium
Description:

Sometimes it’s not enough to make a swarm, sometimes you need to become the swarm. Osiris can overclock her S.W.A.R.M. module to disperse her entire body and reassemble at a new location. But not before eviscerating everything in her flight path.

Name:M.A.N.T.I.S. (Mechanical Appendage Neo-Titanic Implementation System)

Range: Up to 20 feet
Power: Medium
Description:

In addition to conjuring normal sized arms/tendrils, Osiris can also conjure two extra big, extra thicc arms for even more walloping power. These tend to look like giant mantis claws, pincers, or insect mandibles

Name: B.E.E.S.(Built-in Endless Eclipse System)

Range: Self
Power: Major
Description:

When backed into a corner, Osiris can activate her Built-in Endless Eclipse System. In addition to completely healing all of her wounds, the unit peers at least ten seconds into the future and creates a perfect defense for anything that could possibly harm Osiris. This does not give her the ability to divine the future, and is handled entirely by the B.E.E.S.

Transformation Item

Isra has an ornate makeup mirror. It allows her to transform, apply makeup accurately, and also acts as a device to communicate with the wise scientist.

Magical Weapon

Osiris doesn’t really need a magical girl weapon, but the wise scientist doesn’t believe in half measures. She’s gifted Osiris with the S.C.O.R.P.I.O.N. (Supplemental Chthonic Omniphasic Reactive Polyharmonic Infinite Opposition Neutralizer), which is a sickle that’s attached to her back. It’s effectively a third arm, and can be used to fend off attackers or swing on obstacles that conveniently fit inside the blade’s crescent shape.

The Wise Doctor

Doctor Nikki Yolanda Kannis (Doctor Nykannis, Queen of the Mad Scientists!) *It’s pronounced Kan-nis, not Kay-nis.

“Who the fuck were you expecting? Sharr ‘Aria “Smug Bitch” Rizzo’ Webber?!”

Unknown y/o | Female | Won’t Tell LBs | 4’8”
Mad Science | Weird Science | Human?

Personality

Nykannis is a typical Mad Scientist, in that she is extremely egotistical, highly focused on her work, and very, very insane. Aside from that, though, she can be rather personable, and if you take an interest in her current projects/obsessions, she can happily talk with you for hours on end (that said, Nykannis’s social skills are sorely lacking, and if you don’t have an intellect or level of enthusiasm close to hers, it will be a very one-sided conversation).

Other Details

- Like all Mad Scientists, Nykannis is prone to unleashing cackling peals of laughter for no readily apparent reason.

-This character was "inspired" by one of Ponn's creations, and they will be writing all of her dialog.

[Crimson Flame]

I’m sorry, but I don’t think I’m going to join this after all. Good luck with everything!

[Randomguy]

I kinda find it funny for someone whose family got killed by monsters when she was a kid, got pregnant out of wedlock, married young and then divorced to be a single mom, Emma seems like have the least emotional baggage lol. Therapy, people, it works.

[Sylvan]

<Snipped quote by Sylvan>

If you go chem, give me a holler if you need some ideas. Be nice to put my 100K wallhanger to some use...

@shagranoz

I'm definitely going the Chem route, so hit me up! I'm going to try to finish up my CS tomorrow but I have the bones fairly in order.

[Izurich]

Neat, between Violet's transformed appearance and Isra's patron, Ayane won't feel lonely in the height department anymore. 8D ...though the former will just piss her off more since she has the choice to be tall and curvy by just detransforming, then going by that logic, there's also Faniel.

Guess it's just Nikki. Well, it's something.

Renge doesn't count because she's an inch taller, that single inch matters.

@Randomguy

Emotional stability and maturity are overrated. 😎 Join the Trauma Club, we got cookies.

[Xaltwind]

Think I'm gonna rework Neuf's personality a bit. It got a little more obnoxious than I'd originally intended. It's still gonna love bacon though.

As for names for her magic form, I came up with a few while lying in bed last night. Lemme know if any of ya good folks like any of 'em in particular;

- Prism Nova/Nova Prism
- Star Prism/Prism Star
- Iris Jewel/Jewel Iris (Iris being a greek name that means 'rainbow')
- Diamond Heart
- Azure Sparkle (On account of light blue hair when transformed and that gems... sparkle... Yes, I know her hair isn't actually azure-colored but "Powder Blue" doesn't have the same ring)
- Fluorspar
- Crystal Song
- Lapis Lazuli (Suggested name)

... No, I'm not good at coming up with names. Kthx.

[Izurich]

@Xaltwind I like Prism Nova the most and Crystal Song the least. The rest are in-between.

Additionally, speaking of blue, what about Lapis Lazuli?

[Xaltwind]

Additionally, speaking of blue, what about Lapis Lazuli?

@Izurich

Is good suggestion.
Add that one to the list too, Maestro.

EDIT:

While I'm at it, might do a few tweaks and edits on Camilla's personality too, so she's less... All over the place.

[shagranoz]

@BrokenPromise

Looks more or less okay. I definitely wasn't expecting an audition tournament in her backstory, but it'll work. Maybe only potential candidates could see it.

Also, one thing the Wise Scientist definitely is NOT is human. Humans can't be mascots. What she actually is is up to you, and she can certainly look human, but there's that.

[BrokenPromise]

@shagranoz You need to use brackets if you want mentions to work correctly.

I was picturing something more akin to squid games than some televised tourney, but the details have been left non-specific because I don't think it's going to come up in story. Also, Nykannis surpassed the limitations of humanity several hundred millennia ago, so you can't really classify her as a human anymore. But you also can't expect my collage drop out to know the difference anyway.

[shagranoz]

Accepted, then

[Xaltwind]

I just noticed when clicking the enlarged picture... Why does Isra not wear pants...? XD
I'm not complaining, not at all, just curious.

After going over my CS and comparing it to everyone else's though, I've come to the conclusion to do a full revision of it, and probably start over from scratch. All of you guys sheets make me smile and excited about seeing your characters and how they'll interact. Then I read my own CS and it's just: Blaaaaaaaeeeeehhhhhhh, uninteresting mary suuuuue...

So, yeah, Morp.

[BrokenPromise]

@Xaltwind I think that particular picture is suppose to be for a beach scene. I assure you, she does wear pants, as I'm sure your character doesn't trot around in their undies all the time.

No, no... Haha... Of course, of course she doesn't... _*cough*

[Silver Carrot]

The Mundane

Name: Heidi Williams

Age: 34

Appearence:

Heidi

Personality:Personality: Heidi is seen as cold, harsh and stern. She is not a lady you’d want to get angry and even the other teachers give her space. She does not have a temper, and will only raise her voice for the purpose of being heard. But when she is upset with you, the quietness of her voice makes you wish she’d yell. That would be less intimidating.

Despite this, she does have a strong drive to see those around her and under her care healthy, successful and thriving, and despite a lack of reassuring soft, warm bedside manner, will always lend an ear or shoulder to somebody who needs it.

Backstory: As a child, Heidi was fanatical about Magical girls to the point of being obsessed. If there was merch, she collected it. She ran blogs, she frequented forums. She could recite the most obscure trivia available about most of them by rote. She loved Magical Girls.

As a teen, her burning passion for Magical Girls remained but she also developed nerdy hobbies and interests like sci-fi franchises, and tech. ‘Mahou Shoujo’ as she insisted on calling it became a smaller and smaller part of her life as academics became a bigger and bigger part of it. She was an incredibly talented student and had her pick of Colleges.

After graduating, she found that tech-based jobs quickly killed the fun of her hobby, and soon moved into the field of teaching. She burned through her lifetime’s supply of patience in the first few years as a high school teacher and eventually developed into a teacher both feared and respected, who’s intense teaching style would guarantee good grades and better behaviour in exchange for any sense of fun.

The Magical

Transformed Name: Apollo

Apppearance:

Apollo

General Powers/Theme: Electricity

Minor Powers/Attacks:

-Smart Visor: When her transformation is active, the visor is powered by her stored energy. The visor is in itself a mini-computer who’s main purpose is to scan, track and record data on the enemies they fight. It also has other miscellaneous functions, such as heat or night vision.

-Drain: The Ability to drain electricity from any mains outlet or power source and store that electricity within herself to utilise her abilities

-Arc Shot: Her arrows of light can be charged with electricity. If multiple arrows are fired, electricity can arc between them provided they aren’t too far apart.

Medium Powers/Attacks:

-Overload: Small bursts of electricity are expelled anywhere through her body, allowing her to shock and hurt enemies who are too close to be reliably hit with an arrow, or short out electrical equipment

-Light Shield: Apollo’s mascot, Cyclops, isn’t just a floating, talking being to provide moral support. It is also capable of creating strong shields of pure energy in front of itself. It can position itself in front of Magical Girls to protect them. Apollo’s arrows of light can pass through this shield.

Major Power/Attack:

-Ion Storm: For this attack, Apollo forsakes her bow and unleashes all of her stored electricity at once through her hands towards the intended target, creating a blinding, incredibly powerful stream of electricity not unlike a horizontal bolt of lightning.

Magical Weapon:

-The Bow of Light: A bow made of condensed light that fires arrows of light designed to damage beings of darkness.

Bow of Light

Transformation Item: An over-ear headset, that becomes part of her costume. Shecan communicate with Cyclops during battle through the headset.

The Mascot

Name: Cyclops

Appearance:

Cyclops

Personality: Cyclops is stiff, logical and analytical. It’s voice is robotic and monotone, and its eye glows when it speaks. Despite this, it has developed a sarcastic side, much to Heidi’s annoyance.

[BrokenPromise]

@Silver Carrot *squints eyes* You look... familiar...
