tipssyCalibrator said This RP would be in the style of Magical Girl anime series, but one that would be more subversive, self aware and deconstruction-ish in regards to the magical girl genre. I don't mean for it to be a ZOMG HARDCORE DARK SUBVERSION like Madoka Magica or something like that however, I want something that can still be seen as a legit MG story, just one that's a little more self aware and smarter about itself by subverting some tropes and poking fun at others. My main idea would be to have the main characters be around college age and/or older. I think that would not only be an interesting subversion of the usual trend, but it would probably make the characters a little more interesting. Having more mature characters would allow them to be handling more serious, young adult problems relating to their point in life (instead of the usual highschool shenanigans/angst that most MG characters go through), such as careers, independence and becoming an adult, figuring out where they want to go in life, maybe a bit of college drama, and many others. It could certainly create some interesting character development, I think. I have quite a bit of other ideas for this RP, but I don't want to turn this into a bigger wall of text than it already is, so I'll leave it there
tipssyCalibrator said In terms of the more magical girl aspects of the story, I imagine some of it can play out rather typically for the genre, such as the powers being given to the mane characters from a magical race of kind, benevolent beings that are at war with a race of evil, malevolent beings and need the mane characters help and stuff. The evil creatures would be invading the good creatures on their own planet, and so some of the good creatures flee to Earth in order to find someone to help, which is why the good creatures find the mane characters. The evil creatures would then follow the good ones and start attacking Earth in order to find them. For the mane characters' powers, I was intending to have more physical combat involved, and have the action, powers and such be more shounen anime inspired (as opposed to most magical girl stories that are usually about casting spells and no real up close physical fighting). I was thinking that they could manifest in different ways based on their characters, so if one character is more physically fit they would have magic abilities based in combat and offense, if they're more mentally advanced they could have psychic or intelligence based powers, and many other things as well. I was also thinking that there could maybe be a medieval theme with the magical girl titles, so like one of them could be "Knight [Name]", another could be "Princess [Name]" and another could be "Duchess [Name]" and so on
The story would play out like most MG anime do. It would start with the characters in their normal life, establishing their characters and relationships with each other and showing what their average life is like in a slice-of-life kind of thing (preferably with them going around in college interacting with each other). Then at a later point in time, one of the beings from the evil magical race attacks the Earth somewhere close to the mane characters, causing them to freak out and wonder what is happening as they flee the scene. Very soon after, they'll run into one of the good magical creatures, who will tell them all about what is happening and explain to them that they need to help
So yeah, THAT is happening.
