@Chevaleresse Magical girls are girls with magic.

The original RP was pretty lax as for what counted as a magical girl. If you look at the character tab you can get an idea for what's in the RP already, but we have just about everything. Tacticool girls, cyborgs, yokai, professions, folklore, moeification of anything, etc. So long as it's a girl and her abilities are granted by magic, it's pretty much allowed. They just need an emblem, sweet arm, and a theme for her magic and she'll fit right in.

EDIT: As for powers, I recommend being a bit nebulous with the exact destructive potential of your abilities. Things aren't quite city buster level yet, but there is a bit of a power creep, so who knows what will happen?

March of the White Rabbit: A Roll-Your-Own Magical Girl Roleplay

@Chevaleresse Other than the first OOC post? not really. This RP has been going on for the better part of a decade at this point, but the plot itself is pretty basic.

An issue you might run into though is that we're in the middle of the "final battle" so to speak, so it might not be the best time to join. Things move slow, and with the battle going on there might not be a lot of people to interact with.

Though you are in luck, because there's a lot of magical girl RPs on the forum. It feels like a new one crops up every other week.

If you still want to join this one, the only thing that's going on right now is a meta entity wants to kill the grand magistrate (basically the GM) and is rallying the forces of wonderland to wipe out Penrose (a city that's central to the RP. In fact 99% of the RP has taken place inside of Penrose) But that plan is being thwarted, because the Penrose magical girls learned that there are these giant eggs they plan on seiging with, so they're attacking wonderland's factory to destroy the eggs and set back the forces of wonderland. There's also a diplomacy mission ongoing, but that's kind of a side thing right now and with everyone being mad I don't think it's going to get very far.

If you're still confused, that's okay, most of us are too.

The interpersonal stories are a lot more complex, but also totally unnecessary to participating in the setting. The try hard banners aren't necessary either. Some of us just like making them, but others just use forum BBC and call it a day.

Post deletion please

I could use a post deletion too. roleplayerguild.com/topics/192370-kur…

I edited a post and the forum weirdly made a second post with 99% of the content. Anyway, it's taken care of so please just kabosh that one.

Kurai Majokko: Tsundere Gekido

“The lady of the house should always know her place. Now make me a sandwich.”

— Rei Ishiko

Roche chose to talk back to the most powerful dark magical girl she had ever seen. One so powerful that even a demon like Ashbringer turned tail and ran at the mere sound of her bounding across rooftops. A dark magical girl with so much power that she could hold, if only barely, an entire club of dark magical girls together without killing each other. A dark magical girl that authored the rules that the rule keeper herself tattooed onto her heart like the ink on her skin. Such insubordination could lead to an "attitude adjustment" at best, and excommunication at worst. Was it her position in the club or being fed up with Rei that made the stoic rule keeper feel so rebellious?

The air around the taller, more athletic looking woman felt cold.

“You've forgotten your place, Roche.” Rei's tone was reminiscent of a parent who didn't have the heart to scold their child.“You misunderstand my concern. Why you left does not matter. Light girls wander into Hibusa town from time to time. They spout their annoying platitudes and we show them the door. This is a cycle that will never stop so long as we operate here.” She slid a hand into her pocket. “When you venture out of Hibusa town and destroy property, even if it's not your fault, you make them angry. They build resentment and find common ground with one another. We are a small club but we always outnumber the light girls because they are unable to organize against us. Destroying that beach might have been the linchpin the Gems needed to rally against us. Is something so basic beyond your understanding?”

Rei placed her hands around Roche's neck. Her touch was like the northern winds, or that of a corpse. But all she did was straighten out Roche's shirt before slipping her hands into her pockets.

“But you are right. You are going to fix this. And you're also going to make sure nothing like that happens again. No more vacations that happen to involve such widespread destruction.” Rei was about to walk away when she stopped in her tracks. She looked back at Roche, hesitated, and finally spoke. “I had thought that you could hunt miseria without my supervision, but very well. Perhaps I can make time to hunt with you tomorrow.”

It wasn't as if Rei ever did more than perch on some elevated platform while her underlings laid waste, but it was going to be essential now, wasn't it? These weren't normal light girls, they had managed to tick off the Gems. That meant that they'd likely need Schrade to avoid getting totally bodied by the opposition. It was a hassle, but it was also a little interesting too, wasn't it?

"My first and forth, fifth, and sixth favorite people in the club!”

— Suki Oyama

"Yea... Some parents...” Suki's eyes glazed over. She remained as stiff as a board until Kiyo tried to shift the focus back on to Rapunzel herself. "Yea, I really don't get the whole parent thing.” A bitter grin crossed her face when she looked back at the page. "Like, all the mom does is just complain all the time. Like she gets pregnant and just refuses to eat anything but one plant? I kind of picture her as this bloated tick that sits in a cave, existing only to suck the happiness out of the people around her. She's too big to leave the cave and just sort of exists to be a drain on everyone else. And the dad...” Suki laughed. "What a piece of crap! I mea what's he even doing this for? He can't love his wife. He's willing to decide what happens to their child without their consent, so you know that's going to divide them. But the entire reason why she's suffering right now is so that she can deliver a baby. So by giving up the baby it's almost like he's saying what she's gone through isn't even worth considering. I can't imagine they lived a happy life after that. I think Rapunzel's better off having never known her parents.” She pointed at Rapunzel's hair. "But what the hell is with her scalp? If I had hair that long you know I'd be able to tell the difference between an old witch and a big burly prince was crawling up my braid. Provided I didn't get yanked out of the tower. Rapunzel had to be a magical girl.”

And then came the idea of summoning a giga miseria in town. Like, what? It might have been an idea worth entertaining if the last one hadn't leveled a beach when it died. At the same time, Suki couldn't totally dismiss it. "Uh, maybe if it was a really small one? And we fought it on the mountain somewhere? But I think that would be a little dangerous with the light girls around. I mean, were'nt you-”

Tsubomi and Shuuko came through the door.

"Hey Guys!” Suki gave the newly arrived her traditional flamboyant wave and smile. "Roach is still MIA, so we're talking about how Rapunzel might have been a magical girl and giga miseria” After a pause, she clarified. "That's two different topics. Rapunzel is not a giga miseria.”

Battle Toyale — Christmas Rumble!

Oh boy oh boy I wonder when the next post is going to come.

When is a RP Deader Than Disco?

I just want to get some opinions from other RPers on a matter. What separates an inactive RP from a truly dead one? And when is a RP well and truly dead in your book?

@Cleveraptor

You know how you have a tendency to drop out of an RP without giving any warning to your partners? That RP is dead to you but inactive to your partner. See? It's all based on perspective.

In all seriousness, I believe that is one of those distinctions that can only be made with hindsight. A roleplay that sits dormant for 4 years before the GM or your partner open it back up again is inactive, while one that sits dormant forever is dead. Though if you ask me, people and their tastes tend to change over time, and so a long absence from an RP can change its intended trajectory. Say you and I started an RP with dinosaurs that was just some mindless body horror, but after a four year hiatus I decide I want all the carnage to mean something and start writing the dinos as allegories for my character's struggles. It's not really the same RP, yet is is.

I think a better question would be not asking if an RP is dead, but if it's something I could see myself picking up again. I'll never know what the other side thinks unless they tell me, which is a rarity in group or 1x1 RPs. Recently I took an RP that the GM shit canned and started running it with 75%-ish of the original players. It's far outlived the original RP, has a lot of the same characters, but I wouldn't say it's the same RP. It's all very abstract, kind of like how there's no material difference between a corpse and a living person. All the same materials are there, the only difference is that one rots and the other is sleeping.

Though perhaps instead of exploring the existential state of an RP, maybe you just want to know how long I wait on an RP before moving on. But I think that's had the hell answered out of it so I won't be redundant.

Symphony on High

What's up everyone? This is the BP man here!

“No pressure, no diamonds.”

― Thomas Carlyle, Scottish essayist,historian, and philosopher. Basically what most internet users think of themselves as minus the Scottish ancestry.

Opperation is more or less over. You can start working on your esper’s upgrades. Pyramid level up system, etc etc. Some of you forgot to upgrade so I'll make this simple: You should have one Diamond, one Gold, one Silver, and one Bronze glamor. This is going to be the last upgrade for this chapter of the RP so try to get it done in a timely manner. There may be a 1-2 month wait time before the last op but there's going to be a lot of crazy stuff going on in the meantime. The sooner you can work out what you want, the better. Also, Diamond is kind of a broken tier. There's a good chance I'm going to have to rework existing Diamond characters like Oros and Elroy, so don't worry too much about getting feedback. The sooner you get something to me, the better.

Remember that you can carry a friendo's trinket to use in a really emotional and sad way. Just think of how much more impactful Himiko's death would have been if she had used her BFF's charm to power up before delivering her final attack, or maybe their BFF is out there holding onto Himiko's gift, knowing that once they use it, there won't be anything left of her. And then in using it, it can be a way of the character finally moving on. Yea, it's great stuff, and you losers should totally try to make friends. But yea, bronze for backups.

PR upgrades/downgrades will be announced later once we see how Noah does and if anyone else turns their back on humanity.

But yes, I have a lot of collabing to do. so many collabs. I may be writing collabs like the president writes executive orders. You can feel free to workshop your own stuff too. Everyone likes to do collabs but nobody likes to be the one to start them for some reason.

Uhh, but just to start I guess I'll list what I have to do.

STARTED-Noah VS Trixy/Boteg
STARTED-Gemini post operation briefing (This is probs going to involve just Ashley : C)
-Maverick Alternative post operation party (Just Ciri... Man, Maverick and Gemini have just as many player characters now. That's sad. But we can't start until the Noah fight progresses.)
-Asher and THE NUNS
-Something with Finn C:
-Sooooo many things with Marrie, but it's her fault for going pacifist route like this is Undertale.

Might do a hunt later, but yea, got some stuff to work through.
