Dear sir/madam,

Allow me to congratulate you on being selected as the new phantasm representative for the Phantasma Festival! ^_^
If this seems confusing to you, rest assured, an exposition fairy will fill you in on the details sometime later~ <3
Along with several other lucky candidates, you'll get to play around with magical powers that normal humans have long since erased
from their consciousness. Which was kind of silly, if you ask me. How do you guys live without magic? This email thingy is pretty weird,
I probably should've stuck with sending the messenger bunny? XD

But, anyway, magic powers! Expo Fairy can tell you about the magic you're harbouring, as well,
so I'll skip ahead to the fun bit! Our festival holds a tournament where aspiring little mages brawl in epic fights,
for the chance to win a wish granted by yours truly! Awesome, right? :O There should be a document attached that lists a few
terms and conditions, wish limits, blah blah blah, can't wait to see you guys~!

-------------------------------

The Setting

So yeah, a magical girl RP (boys included too, because why not?), with a shocking, genre-twisting... twist. Namely, that the magical girls' powers will be based on mythological creatures. Whether it's an obscure monster like the wulver, or a world-renowned creature like the phoenix, all are eligible to be represented in the Phantasma Festival! Do note a few key things regarding which creatures to use, though:

  • Gods/angels/devils and the like are off limits, sorry to say. Although, if you want to play a creature that's technically divine, but not an outright deity, I'll probably allow it, just run it by me.
  • Half-breed/combination-type deals aren't valid either. No half man, half bear, half pig magical girl for you!
  • Playing as a dragon isn't going to mean you're automatically stronger than, say, that grass-fairy magical girl over there.
  • For creatures that have several different interpretations and lore, they're all valid. Additionally, there's no hard limit to how many people can use one specific creature as a base, but... diversity is recommended.
  • Finally, more as a general tip, you don't have to adapt every ability a creature has, at least not at the start. Everybody's a newbie, after all.


Obviously, everyone has access to stuff like flight, or generic magic blasts or shields, too, but you don't have to be exactly proficient at all of them.

-------------------------------------

The Plot

One day, you've received a weird email, one that most people would dismiss and delete (and be honest, you probably did), and move on with their lives. However, a few days later, you find yourself dreaming. In this dream, amongst a small gathering, a tiny, humanoid figure begins a thorough, seemingly never-ending lecture on things like magic, and this 'Phantasm Festival' thing. Whether or not you came out from it any more knowledgeable about the strange email's contents, one thing is now clear: You are now a magical girl fighting in some tournament.

For some reason, the exposition fairy really wanted to stress that the wish you'll win is perfectly safe with no strings attached.

-------------------------------------

Post your characters in the OOC. Accepted ones can be posted in the character tab.

  • Name:
  • Age: 10-15
  • Gender:
  • Appearance: Words and pictures are both fine. Note that this pertains to your normal appearance.
  • Personality: You can keep this brief, if you want.
  • General Info: For all your backstory or trivia needs on the character.


  • Mythical Creature:
  • Powers: For example, someone channelling a werewolf may have increased power at night, or even summon wolf familiars.
  • MG Appearance: Pretty much where you can describe/show off your characters magical outfit. You can even add some cat-ears to your nekomata costume, too!


-----------------------------

So, any questions?

Ah man, that was the one I was going to do!!!!

Okay, Not really, but good choice! I'v been wanting to use a Gashadokuro for something and just hadn't had the inspiration or opportunity to implement anything.

Personally I'm stuck between giving a boy a banshi or a siren so they get a hella lady like trasformation to be all flustered and embarrased by, A tiny girl that is 'Oni with an Iron Club' themed, or to go way deep into the mythological creature bag for something super weird.

Do the creatures have to be purely mythological, or are fictional things more in line with fairy tale creatures also acceptable? (pre-1900 ones, of course)

What do you have in mind, exactly?

Thinking something Lewis Carroll-y, the Snark for instance. Basically a gimmick power based in turning the "normal" into the "ridiculous", as a crux.

Knowing Roxas, I highly doubt he'd ban kitsunes. XD

They are, yes.

I'm... honestly not sure what to make of them, really.

Posting CS for approval!

Name: Akila Misfud
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Appearance: Shy, short, and very quiet, Aki has purple eyes and black hair, and is very dark-skinned.
Personality: Aki is shy, but she doesn't let this keep her down. She is constantly trying to reach out to people, and hilariously failing, almost every time. Because of this, she has a deep-seated disgust for herself, but tries to be cheerful for everyone else.
General Info: She is often treated badly because of her shy nature, and avoids a certain group of delinquents at all costs, going so far as to walk through another neighborhood to avoid them. The first thing that she will do with her power is to try and convince them to stop.

Mythical Creature: Cynocephaly (Doghead)
Powers: (Examples)
Wild Hunt- Aki is able to smell, hear, and see targets behind most barriers.

Howl- Aki can let out a howl that stuns enemies, and can shatter glass (on accident, of course.)
MG Appearance:
Akila gains the ears and tail of a Dog, and the golden eye of the Jackal God. She wears an outfit similar to an Egyptian Pharaoh.

@Paradox Witch I actually like the idea of your character, but after some thought, I'm not really sure it fits into this RP. Otherwise, the idea would probably become more 'iconic literary creatures', instead of just adapting monsters, youkai and the like. Sorry about that.

@Athinar Pretty much the same deal there. Although I'd very much prefer if your character didn't go insane, this is meant to be fun and light-hearted. Plus, time-stopping is far too broken as a power. And I'm really not sure about that surname.

@Athinar

That should be fine now, though the name 'Wild Hunt' is giving me traumatic flashbacks.

@Paradox Witch

Also more or less accepted, just some questions, though. Is the Preservation skill some type of shielding ability, or does it literally make it impossible to alter or damage something it affects?
Also, I'm assuming the Keine picture is to show off her costume? Since, well... proportions and all.
