OUR FIRST MAGICAL BOY! AND HE'S SIXTEEN!

Yes, everyone...

We now have a character that defies ALL the madokaverse with the RP rules. We finally have it.

[Scio]

Breakin' the meta yo.

[Tatsua Aiisen]

GG

At least Scio wasn't stupid enough to break all MS conventions.

[Scio]

I haven't watched the series.

And I'm assuming that's an insult.

Not an insult, a compliment. I don't agree with your character, but it's tame enough that I can deal.

[Gwazi Magnum]

notdeadyet said If she ran around swinging a huge heavy bass guitar sword, that could be the hulk go smashy smash deal right? Maybe her wish would be cuz she was a teen who just wants everybody to shut up and let her play music?for the sword and shield type, would i be allowed to have her wish be something like wanting to protect rock itself? Because people say rock is dying. Than she would have a big giant shield and an electric guitar?Idk... These ideas i am having seem cliche, and... Whats the word... Stale?

Even in modern/today society music like that isn't frowned on anymore.
With Madoka Magica being more advanced I really don't see anyone having issues regarding playing music.

Even then, when you sign the contract you are signing your life away to be dedicated to fighting wishes. Such a big commitment should be done over something bigger than a hobby.

Tatsua Aiisen said Actually, that brings up the question, is this taking place in Mitakihara City?

Most likely, it would give us an easier point of reference as a setting.

Both accepted. :)

[LaXnyd]

Name: Akiyama Toshiro

Nickname: Writes under an online nickname/blogger name 「東の秋」("Higashi no Aki/Autumn of the East")

Age: 15

Biological Sex: Male

Height: 1.7m

Weight: 70kg

Appearance:

Akiyama Toshiro

Personality: Akiyama is someone who is paranoid for a reason he would never explain. As such, no matter where he is he will always have some sort of weapon. Even in school, he constantly has something he could use as a weapon within reach, always having at least some heavy blunt object he could use as a weapon in case... "they" come.

Constant unexplained paranoia aside, for someone who acts like he is constantly under threat of attack Akiyama is often absent-minded, daydreaming off into space and pondering things beyond the comprehension of others. He is soft spoken but he is willing to listen to people's troubles and offer advice and moral support.

Reason for Pact: N/A

Bio: Her name was Akiyama Kimiko. If she was alive, she would be fourteen right now.

Toshiro was the older brother of a magical girl. Contrary to the belief of many magical girls, not all of their non-magical friends are completely oblivious. For Toshiro, when he was thirteen and his sister twelve, he had noticed that she had begun disappearing from the house during the night. Concerned but not wanting to get her in trouble with her parents, Toshiro began following her out, only to lose her mysteriously. He followed her many nights before he finally managed to see her enter what he would later discover is a witch's labyrinth.

Moments later, that same labyrinth swallowed him up.

Inside the labyrinth, he fearfully cowered in a corner, hiding from the familiar before he finally heard the sounds of fighting. Looking up, he saw his younger sister fighting against the monsters. Together they escaped and she explained herself and the system of magical girls, as well as how her magical ability was mental and emotional manipulation. Too bad she didn't know about soul gems and their true nature.

Through her experiences, Toshiro accompanied her and gave her moral support; easing her burden greatly. For his sister it seemed like things were finally looking up.

Then she died fighting a witch.

Rushing to the site, all he found was another magical girl carrying the remains of the soul gem that used to belong to his sister. The girl could only apologize for being unable to save her in time and disappeared, leaving Toshiro alone. Her family had no idea what had happened and as such Kimiko was forever listed as missing, for it would now be impossible to find a body to prove her death. He alone knew what really happened to his little sister.

Since the night she died, Toshiro began having nightmares. As if she had been some protective charm keeping them at bay, the night Kimiko died Toshiro began being plagued by nightmares of the labyrinth he had once been trapped in. Fearing that another witch could attack him at any time, from that day on Toshiro had always kept a weapon at a grab's reach. He also began a blog in order to write about his dreams as poems as a way to vent.

Magic/Abilities: N/A
Weapons: Depending on the legal status and what he could get away with at the moment, he may carry a five centimeter knife or a baseball bat in general public (sometimes both) and at school he has with him a heavy textbook. They're.. not gonna help much against what he's trying to protect himself against.
Other Gear: Soul Gem Shards (Carried in a pouch with him at all times), a laptop.
Other Details: Is completely non-magical.

Ah? An un magical boy?

Interesting.

[LaXnyd]

Yes. He shall be the Kamijou of the RP he will be there to provide moral support and... not much else.

Derpestein said
Another question.Does this take part at the same time as the whole Madoka thing where Madoka becomes Godoka? Or before?Or are we in a different timeline?

Somehow I missed this earlier :/
Thankfully I noticed it while collecting CS's for the OP.

To answer the question, this is meant to be completely separated from the show's Universe. So stuff like Madoka becoming Godoka would never happen.
We most likely will fight a very powerful witch such as Walpurgisnacht would depend on the direction the RP gets, but you probably wouldn't get a direct pre-warning but rather see hints being dropped like "Suicides have been at a high lately" and you'd need to put the pieces together.

[Tatsua Aiisen]

Can you please not gimp our coding by putting them in the OP, and link them instead?

[Gwazi Magnum]

Tatsua Aiisen said

Doing just links can add a lot of lag to older PC's by opening multiple tabs.
I will add links to them so people can do it that way if they prefer, but I'm also keeping a copy of each CS in the OP for those who prefer it.

[Gwazi Magnum]

Ok, I was waiting for notdeadyet before making my characters to wrap it all up.
But upon checking her file she's been actively posting elsewhere, so I can assume she's lost interest.

So with that covered say hi to your Incubator, Veteran member (Didn't seem anyone bothered making a veteran in their CS's. Please correct me if I mis-read), and your resident bitchy/shitty member. :P

Chaxi The Incubator

Name: Chaxi
Nickname: Chai
Age: Presumably thousands of years old at least.
Gender Identity: Incubator's have no need for such thing.
Biological Sex: Male
Height: 1'8"
Weight: 35 lb
Appearance:

Personality: Incubators lack any sense of emotion to really make a personality with. Chaxi along with other Incubators was sent to Earth for one goal, and one goal only. Therefore only having one goal, to turn humans into Magical Girls and Boys and harness the energy they create when they turn into witches. That is all Chaxi cares for, and Chaxi will go to any means needed to see it done.

Bio: Hailing from an advanced race in a galaxy far, far away Chaxi came to Earth in search of a means to keep the Universe a live. Since the Universe was dying by consuming more energy than it was creating. Upon having discovered humans and the energy they produce called 'emotion' Chaxi was deployed alongside other Incubators to harness this energy from them by manipulating them to essentially turn into witches, dispersing the energy for the Incubators to collect.

Magic/Abilities: The ability to grant wishes. Also has an infinite amount of spare bodies if the current one is ever destroyed.
Weapons: N/A
Other Gear: N/A
Other Details: Do not trust Chaxi, ever.

Tyrien Hal

Name: Tyrien Hal
Nickname: Ty
Age: 18
Sex: Male
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 175 lb
Appearance:

Personality: Tyrien used to be a fun and loving individual, but a lot of that was lost during his service as a Magical Boy. Today he still aims to act rather protective and loving of anyone else who has taken the pact, but is far more blunt and serious. Seemingly filled by anger and pain, a very dangerous thing for anyone who has taken the pact to possess for they could become a witch. But is skill in fighting powerful witches as well as what relief he get's from those he fights beside seems to keep him stable enough to avoid turning.

Reason for Pact: To gain the power to kill witches, and bring back the ones he had formerly lost to them.

Bio: Tyrien when he was 10 lost his older sister to suicide, a sister he loved very much. This hurt him dearly, but he managed to keep going in life. Then again though at 14 he lost his girlfriend to suicide, which tore at him the most. But it was then he noticed something odd, both of them showed no signs of pain before killing themselves and both were found dead in roughly the same area, at a run down hospital. Most others brushed it off as coincidence, but Tyrien was too determined and grief-stricken to let it go. So he investigated, upon spending some time there he suddenly found himself trapped in the witch's realm. Where thankfully he was saved by a Magical girl and the situation explained to him.

After learning about these witches and how they caused the death of his girlfriend and sister he asked to join up. In which case Chaxi arrived and offered to make a pact, which Tyrien was fully willing to sign up for right there simply to get revenge. But upon learning of the wish each person is granted he used it to bring back his sister and girlfriend that he lost to the witches.

During his starting years there was a group of Magical Girls and Boys who banded together to fight witches, they had a strong partnership going and everything was yell. This lasted for about a year before one of them lost their parents in a fatal accident. Grief stricken this Magical Girl turned into a witch, in front of the others and attacked them on sight. Half of the group were slain in that fight, the other half making it out with their lives and now haven the duty to slay the the witches of the comrade's they had lost. They did so rather successful now that they were prepared, but that event shattered the group. Since that day everyone was on a timer for when they themselves gave in to the pressure and turned or were killed in battle because their group was no longer at full strength.

After another year of this, Tyrien and one other named Tokoma were left. Tokoma decided to go solo, deciding at that point it was better to fend for yourself and prey on others rather than get attached and have it eventually crumble, but out of loyalty of old times promised to leave Tyrien alone. Tyrien however knew that with so many people gone that Chaxi would start finding more people, he knew that those people would die quickly if left without any guidance, which Tokoma now preying on them and Chaxi doing everything he can to make them turn quickly. With that he dedicated himself to finding new magical girls and boys, and see if he could try to rebuild the partnership that once existed. And if he couldn't at least he might give them a fighting chance.

Magic/Abilities: He is able to focus magic onto his lance or shield.

If focused on his lance it allows him to make a very damaging blow, where if he pierces deep enough the witch is as good as dead. But if it's a glancing hit the magical energy still creates an explosion, weakening the witches defenses for future attacks.

If focused on his shield, it allows him to make some barriers around either himself or a nearby ally. If used on himself is simply increases his ability to take a hit, but not by too much. It often just serves as a way to avoid being knocked or flown back when trying to close in on an enemy. But if used to protect an ally it redirects the majority of the damage onto himself instead.

Weapons: He posses a lance and an Iron Shield.
Other Gear: Leather Armor, but due to magical enhancement it defends as well as full plate and gives them maneuverability as if he wasn't wearing armor at all.

Tokoma Kei

Name: Tokoma Kei
Nickname: Toki
Age: 17
Sex: Female
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 140 lb
Appearance:

Personality: Patient, relaxed and calculated. One would be tempted to say she is like an Incubator in human form. If not for the fact that all her actions are done for personal benefit, not the gain of any cause or purpose, and that she is quick to lash out in anger if something isn't going the way she intended. Which although granted is not often considering she usually plan's well enough to advance.

Reason for Pact: Tokoma had wished for wealth. But not for a reason as basic as self interest. She originally made the wish because she and all her friends and cousins had grow up in a very poor neighbourhood. Where even rent and food was hard to come by, let alone decent clothes, medicene or any kind of decent education. So she wished for enough wealth so she and all her friends could get out of such horrid conditions and live a decent life (more in bio).

Bio: Tokoma was born to an abused mother and a abusive father. But her mother never once stood up for herself, always letting herself and Tokoma be hurt by her father. Hating her father for this, and her mother for letting it happen she ran off at the age of 12. Even the streets were better than staying there, but eventually she got caught up in gang/street life. She learned to fight quickly and did what she had to in order to survive. But this gang life wasn't one about say turfs, colours, race or anything like that. It was a bunch of people, rejected by society who simply banded together to survive and what scraps they had.

Living conditions got so bad, with so many people dying from illness, cold or starvation that she eventually ended up making a pact at the age of 15 to change all that. She got the wealth needed to get her and everyone else with her out of such a life style, and living well. At first they were all thrilled, living such a well off life they didn't think twice. But soon they got suspicious, they knew this money had to come from somewhere, and started questioning Tokoma. She feared telling them cause it then risked them giving involved in the fighting with witches. But precisely because she avoided telling them is what caused them all to one night betray her, they took all her money, hacked her account and then threw her on the street. Outraged, she soon return and violently took back what was hers. Devastated she was getting close to becoming a witch, but thats when another magical girl arrived seemingly to have sensed it. She comforted her, and offered her a place among a number of magical boys and girls, where she'd be treated as family. In desperation she agreed and joined them, but it was not long after this group fell apart from others turning into witches where only she and Tyrien were left.

So now, having been betrayed by one group and lost another she decided it was better to look out for herself. So she now lives a life of fighting witches alone, and preying on weaker magical girls and boys when she can. Only leaving Tyrien alone out of some deep sense of loyalty to the old times, and them both having essentially been brothers and sisters in arms.

Magic/Abilities: She is able to cast one of several enchantments on an arrow before firing.
All of the continuous effect's lasting as long as even the tip of the arrow remains stuck in the target.
1. Life Drain - She drains the life force of the target to herself, allowing her to heal wounds and get unfatigued at a far faster rate.
2. Slow - Slows down the target, effectively functions as a sleep spell is the target is weak enough. Generally though only fellow magical boys and girls are vulnerable enough to risk falling asleep from it.
3. Lightning - Her main offensive enchant, it essentially does heavy damage. But the lighting quickly disperses throughout the targets body on impact, potentially causing burns and wounds inside the targets body.

Weapons: Bow and Arrows
Other Gear: Essentially a black cloth outfit. With magic though it protects like chainmail, and lets her move even faster than she could naturally.

[Tatsua Aiisen]

Now we get a bit of a problem where Middle School girls are unlikely to be comfortable hanging out with older kids, especially two that are so obviously scary to approach.

When you make the contract you stop aging, though, so you should probably change your character's ages and appearances to match their actual age.

EDIT: Oh, and you messed up with Su's sheet and didn't add the link to her full-sized appearance.

[Gwazi Magnum]

Tatsua Aiisen said Now we get a bit of a problem where Middle School girls are unlikely to be comfortable hanging out with older kids, especially two that are so obviously scary to approach.

Majority of people aren't like that.
People of several years difference hangout quite regularly.

Plus only one of them is vicious/hostile, and she's meant to be a villain. I don't get how Tyren is seen as scary.

Tatsua Aiisen said When you make the contract you stop aging, though, so you should probably change your character's ages and appearances to match their actual age.

Their appearances aren't so far off that it's not unbelievable.
Plus over the years even if they don't physically age they would mentally age and have more experience, and this would reflect the way they dress, their body is built (exercise) and how they present themselves.

I don't know where you grew up, but where I come from it isn't really that common to see kids of different years hanging out.

Yes, their appearances are totally far off. Unless Tyren was blessed with an abnormally large and strong body, that is. And unless Kei had the body of a fully grown woman at 15 (which is admittedly more likely.)

Yes, but their bodies aren't physically mature (and neither are their brains.) That means that, even if they trained their bodies or grew mentally, there's only so far they could go. The different would be noticeable, but not significant. To begin with, their physical bodies probably wouldn't be trained, since it's magical power that matters most, not strength.

[Gwazi Magnum]

Yes, but their bodies aren't physically mature (and neither are their brains.) That means that, even if they trained their bodies or grew mentally, there's only so far they could go. The different would be noticeable, but not significant. To begin with, their physical bodies probably wouldn't be trained, since it's magical power that matters most, not strength.

Tyrien is large? He isn't a twig at all but rather fairly built, but big? I've seen Grade 9 football players more buff than him.
+I never gave any suggestion to his physical strength in the CS.

I really don't much that's too physically mature on either. Tyren's just a bit fit after years in the field, Kotomo honestly could have just gotten an earlier growth spirt
You even agreed that it's likely in her case. As for brain maturity, I meant in terms of life experience. I know they're physical brain isn't still building but they still have experiences.
Ever see cases of people who are rather young but matured really fast because they were put in a tough environment? Put most of them under a brain scan and their brains would probably still be physically growing/developing. But their experiences gave them insight/maturity unusual for their age, and constantly fighting and seeing friends die and turn into witches is sure as hell one way to do that.

And yes, magic is helping a lot. But they are still running around, jumping, moving and swinging their weapons a lot. It would still act as a form of exercise, especially sense a lot of the magic is probably invested in the flying and magical attacks. Actually it would also make since for them to try to keep themselves fit, so they can focus more of their magic on their spells rather than keeping the body from giving out and damaging itself (which, although heals fast and has a lack of pain due to the soul gems. It's still bad to have a damaged/stressed body in the middle of a fight).

[Tatsua Aiisen]

Since I can't seem to get through to you,

Tatsua Aiisen said
EDIT: Oh, and you messed up with Su's sheet and didn't add the link to her full-sized appearance.

Just fix this. I have no desire to debate with you any longer. I'll be less active in the OOC now, until the time comes that I need to engage in actual discussion.

Oh, may we post IC now? All the characters seem to be around, and the GM Characters have arrived, so it seems everything is in position.

[Gwazi Magnum]

Tatsua Aiisen said EDIT: Oh, and you messed up with Su's sheet and didn't add the link to her full-sized appearance.

What do you mean? o.O
I linked to her CS the same way I did everyone else's, and neither the hider or the link seem to be broken.

Tatsua Aiisen said Oh, may we post IC now? All the characters seem to be around, and the GM Characters have arrived, so it seems everything is in position.

I'm in too tired/sleepy a state to make an adequate post now, and tomorrow I'm busy for a while.
So the IC should be up either late tomorrow or sometime wednesday.
