@Slamurai You can introduce the character with the origin of how they came to receive their powers or as having a past in the magical community before taking part in the events at Penrose. You can even have them start as a normal person who happens to be magic-sensitive and sees past the Masquerade, and later receives their powers. Most players have started with established bonds with their Patrons, but opening up by showing how the bond was formed or before they have met is also valid.
I'll be giving this one more week before I'll start the IC, or earlier if the RP player slots end up filled.
The Emergency choice grants two additional combat Perks, for a total of seven.
Hello there, thanks for checking this out. The reason people have submitted more than three player characters or NPC's is because they are either rotating their player characters or using them as established NPCs. While players are limited to playing a certain number of them at a time, they can create as many as they want and swap between them.
As for additional stats, people have earned them for playing in the RP as rewards in the form of magical coins. However, in this RP, stats serve more as a guideline for the character than hard-set ruling. For example, a character with less strength than an opposing character can overcome the difference by applying another advantage or a clever solution. In general, the RP focuses on the narrative rather than crunch.
Hopefully this cleared up some of the confusion regarding the RP. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them.
Weapon:Ramuh: A powerful Dual Weapon, able to transform between two weapons: a bow with a string made of static electricity that can rapidly launch arrows of thunder, or a staff that Lily can use to channel her raw power into devastating magic, able to launch bolts of lightning, and even call storms from the sky when using her full power.
Power:1. Killing Blow: Lily can channel her magic into a spell of mass destruction using Wrath of Zeus, calling down an extremely powerful bolt of lightning that shakes the earth and deafens those nearby with a roaring display of nature's power, annihilating almost any enemy and turning them into ash.
2. Barrage: Lily can accelerate the use of her weapon to immense speed, able to shoot with the rate of a machine gun and overwhelm a group of enemies with lightning arrows, raining down upon them like a storm.
Perks: Dual Weapon: Lily's weapon Ramuh can either take the form of a bow, or a staff adorned with the head of her patron Ixion, complete with a zig-zagging horn that can be used as a poor melee weapon in a pinch.
Monstrous Metamorphosis: When Lily is in danger or agitated enough, the power coursing through her takes over, and she adopts bestial traits of her patron Ixion. She gains a zig-zagging horn on her head, as well as fur that covers her body and yellow eyes alongside improvements in physical abilities (+2 STR, AGI and VIT). However, she also loses conscious control, driven by instinct.
Closure: As part of her contract, Lily demanded that she would be wiped from the memories of her family and friends, so they would lead happy lives without her. Not having to worry about attachments of the past, she has gone full speed ahead.
Get out of Jail: Lily is an especially slippery Magical Girl, able to escape even the direst of situations by turning into reversed lightning, often leaving as quickly as she arrived.
Enhanced Sustenance: Lily hates to slow down for meaningless things like sleeping and eating, and has managed to overpower such limitations, easily going for longer than others of her kind with an abundance of energy.
Patron: Puchuu
Patron Benefits (Not Applicable with exception of Free Agent):
Mental Link: Lily can talk to Ixion in her mind, able to keep a steady conversation in the middle of combat thanks to her brain running at accelerated speed from her lightning magic. This gives her an innate advantage against some foes, as her patron can pin-point strategies on the fly without her slowing down.
Focused: Lily's magic can be erratic and unpredictable, and so Ixion helps her direct the current with the path of least resistance, able to use more magic and offset the rapid consumption of her powers.
Mana Font: Ixion's energy courses through Lily with crackling intensity, a useful benefit for a power so consuming and demanding as hers.
Genki Girl: Lily can keep running and running until the day the world ends, but she just never seems to run out of breath. Being friends with an entity of such a lively element has it's advantages.
Transportation: Ixion can turn into an awesome motorcycle that can drive with a top speed of 200 km/h, easily able to cross the city in mere minutes while enjoying the wind on her back. It is also an electric vehicle, and doesn't expel gas at all. So useful! After she gained Time magic, Lily also modified her motocycle to incorporate time motifs, including clock wheels.
Free Agent: Lily no longer has to obey Ixion's wishes.
Patron Drawbacks (Not Applicable with exception of Lonely):
Big Brother: Ixion is always there to watch over her, whether in good or bad. However, Lily was always happy that he was there to keep him company, and help her forget her past life.
Alien Mind: Ixion comes from a different world with it's own laws and views on morality, and thus often spends it's time wondering about the machinations of humanity. Due to this it tends to not interfere with human-born issues, only focused on the slaying of monsters and other dark entities.
Formless: Whenever Ixion doesn't materialize into a vehicle, he can only manifest as a crackling mass of lightning, not being able to affect the real world directly in much capacity. Well, that just means Lily has to do the work, which she doesn't mind at all.
Lonely: Lily no longer has Ixion to support her.
Fighting Style: Lily is all about speed, and hit-and-run tactics are her forte. She can rapidly bombard her opposition with arrows from multiples angles while dodging and weaving out of the way of attacks coming her way. She is bad in melee combat, but if she chooses to take the risk, she can accelerate the flow of her blood with electricity, boosting her speed and strength at a serious loss to her health.
Personality: Lily is an outgoing and energetic girl, constantly smiling and laughing wherever she goes. However, while she can be nice to others, she also has a smug streak to her, often being brash and confrontational, with a large ego to her. The outward personality hides a sad existence, however...
History:Contract: One day, when Lily once again cursed her existence and the misfortune she has lived through, she wished out loud that she could do what she want without anybody bearing down on her. Then, storm clouds gathered, and a tree right in front of her was split by a thunderbolt. From the burning wreckage Ixion's crackling shape emerged, and she heard his voice in her mind, asking her to help keep peace and exterminate the monsters, as well as defeat ay other forces who sought his destruction. Lily agreed to it on the condition that she could leave her former life with no regrets, and set forth with a wide smile.
During the events of Lunacy of Love, Lily witnessed the assassination of Victoria Reales, a Puchuu girl who tried to unite the magical girls of Penrose. After meeting with friendly and less friendly people, Lily was caught up in a fight against a mysterious group of villains, and ended up captured by the orders of Justine von Visceral, the mastermind behind both the assassination and the terrorist attack on Beacon. She was believed to be a girl of pure heart, and her blood would have been sacrificed for a terrible Horror's summoning. Fortunately, a band of heroes, including Lily's close friend Alex, stormed the Viscerals' keep, and rescued her. After a bittersweet farewell with the defeated Justine, Lily was left with her hat as a memento, which she decided to keep as she rode off to a new adventure.
Incantation: "Let my spirit gallop across the field of clouds, and strike my foes down with thunderous applause!"
Additional Info: None
Type:Shifty Rat Puchuu
Name: Umukamui /Kamy
Personality: Umukamui can be described as a neurotic cynical wreck of a Puchuu, always obsessed with quotas and goals above methods. It's a shifty guy who enjoys caffeinated drinks and sugar, and that certainly doesn't help. Prone to be quite a potty mouth, callous and dismissive, and an utter slave driver to the girls he employs.
History: Umukamui boasts that he was once one of the top enforcers of the Puchuu, boasting that all the magical girls of a certain city were under his command, or that he was given headpats by the Cabinet of Ministers of another. Then again, that might be empty boasting on his part. And if one listens carefully, they might gleam some uncomfortable hints that point that all of his ramblings are in fact, not just fabrications.
Be it as it may be, Umukamui has suffered a lot of bad luck lately. Freak incidents and poor choices of his magical girls have led to this kind of weak position among peers. The fact that a drunk gangster ran over his last shot at getting back into business was the straw that broke the camel's back. He makes use of the perp, conveniently repurposed for his own interests, but he wishes he would die in a blaze of glory.
Resources: Only Lily. Come and laugh, HA HA HA HA. He however, is quite a long runner in the world of Puchuus, and always knows someone that knows someone. If there's a dire need of something, he can use any kind of channel, down to blackmail and extortion to get it. Oh and guess there's other magical girls too. Goals: Maintain the Balance of power. Eliminate threats to the World Order. Recruit Allies and work towards rebuilding Umukamui's power.
Additional Info: Flies surprisingly well when kicked.
Type: Lesser Force
Name: Ixion
Personality: Ixion is a noble, if ruthless entity, and can be capricious in his motives. Nevertheless, he believes in Lily, and is always there to give a comforting word, even if he doesn't understand what the problem is.
History: Ixion's past is shrouded in mystery, but from what Lily has gathered he was once from a world where other Lesser Forces suc has him resided, such as a Lesser Force taking the form of a blue-icy woman, and a black dragon. In a war for dominance, he had to escape, and found himself in this world. To keep the world stabile and protected from the other Forces he has asked to slay any monsters that would try and breach the walls between them, fearing the arrival of his sworn enemies one day.
Resources: Ixion pays in magical coins, as is the norm. He has had numerous champions, but currently he has only found one pure-hearted enough to be chosen.
