"I'd say you did plenty," Miria said with a gesture toward the unconscious pink team. "Unless those guys weren't also your doing."

There was a pause while Mr. Raptor introduced himself. Not the most original name, bit not like Miria was really one to talk, there. He didn't really stick around long, but did leave the crate he'd secured behind, and got a "you can count on me!" to see him off. She took a seat on the crate to continue the conversation.

"I thought magical girls were just a thing on children's television shows. I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised with everything else going on in this town." And there go the comments Maple's probably already had far too often. "And you use magic." So she was mistaken. Magic...was probably worse. Another variable to worry about, certainly. And just something that made Earth curiouser and curiouser.

"I suppose I shouldn't pry too much into how your magic works, but I am curious. It's not like magic is something one just sees every day. I guess you're another of the heroes running around Grailham, then?"

@Vega7285

"Whether it be on children's television shows or in real life, a magical girl's mission will always be the same - to bring smiles to everyone!" Miracle Maple gave Miria a wink, "if there's trouble in Grailham, I'll be there! Because that's what heroes do!"

Kaede woke up on fine morning, still groggy from a good night's sleep.

"She said I did plenty, Trinity!"

"Yeah yeah, just eat your damn breakfast already, you've got a whole day ahead of you," Trinity sighs.

After which, Kaede would check the old snail mail.

"Would you look at that, Trinity!" Kaede squeals, "there's a new cafe! And they've got directions! I say we check it out before I invite any friends there!"

"You have friends?" Trinity raised a brow (or equivalent).

Kaede gave Trinity a deadpan look, before looking away and returning to the house to prepare to head out.

---

"This is the place. They boast some pretty good strawberry shortcake!"

"They also boast subpar graphic design," Trinity adds, "actually, what part of this looks like a cafe?"

"Yeah, good point," Kaede says, then speaks to a random man that just so happened to be Greg, "excuse me, Mister, where's the cafe?"

"Right this way, Miss."

"I'm a boy."

"... apologies. Mister."

With that, Kaede was lead into a room, where he was locked in ans immediately greeted with a rude display of kunai launchers - the road ahead blocked by them. Kaede's eyes widen.

"I think I've established that I am not dying until I get a girlfriend," Kaede utters.

"No you haven't," Trinity replies.

"I did now!" Kaede says, whipping out a bracelet, before taking a red-coloured trinket out.

"Maple Driver, activate! Insert Maple Stamp!"

"Sparkle~ Sparkle~" the 'Maple Driver' spoke in response.

"Enter Inferno Stance!"

"Strawberry Blaze~" the 'Maple Driver' continued to contradict his words.

"HENSHIN!"

"Change~"

A blazing typhoon surrounded him as he rushed forward, the sheer power of his transformation melting the kunai and obliterating all the machines. When the flames dispersed, a magical girl with a ponytail that fluttered like flames appeared.

"We did this joke already, didn't we?" Miracle Maple said as she looked at the burnt, charred and melted kunai launchers. "Oh right, one more thing - MAGICAL GIRL MIRACLE MAPLE: INFERNO STANCE!"

A pose was struck by instinct.

Legion of Heroes

Maple's eyes widened at the sight of Shield Maiden. To her, Shield Maiden's moves and tactics were awestruck-inducing.

"Shield Maiden, huh?" Maple scratched her head, "I'm the hope that everyone relies on, Magical Girl Miracle Maple~"

Maple blushed and scratched her head.

"I'm uh... working on a proper catchphrase," Maple reveals a plshie snake of some kind hovering beside her, "this is Trinity, my uh... mascot I guess? You know, every magical girl needs one of these, am I right?"

Maple glanced to the side to see one of the Sinister Six running away.

"ARCANA FINGER!"

With a single finger, she shot a beam of hearts that struck and fried the running mook, causing him to fall unconscious.

"Well, at least I can say I contributed, teehee..."

Kaede's assault could only go on for so long. One would not expect a teenagee to par with six fully grown adults.

One would guess right.

Kaede was beginning to get piled on my the Pink ones.

"We got 'im!" the pinkos said in unison.

Or so they thought.

Bright pink light emerged from the seams of the pink ones, before a pillar of light blasted them in all directions, causing them to collide with their other-coloured counterparts.

"HENSHIN!"

OST - Active Angel II

At the centre of it, a bright glowing humanoid figure appeared, wearing Kaede's clothes. These clothes gradually disintegrated, as the figure shifted from an androgynous-looking lad to to a feminine shape.

Kaede's hair extended into a hime-cut before being tied into a ponytail, all the while turning pink. New clothes began to form, these ones sporting a pink-white motif and a heart at the back decorated with angel wings. As a last step, boots adorned his-or rather- her feet.

"Magical Girl Miracle Maple - Arcane Stance!"

It seems like the sheer heat and power of being too close to a magical girl transformation knocked our perpetrators out. Why do you think villains always waited for it to be over?

Miracle Maple struck a pose, before looking around to see her enemies fallen.

"Too easy," Maple shrugs her shoulders.

"Before that it was too difficult," Trinity sighs.

@Vega7285 @Crimson Flame

Kaede was surprised to see himself get interrupted from his assault, by the somewhat famous Dynamo no doubt.

"Hey fasttrack! No time for poses! They're taking the chance to skedaddle!" Kaede exclaimed.

Kaede backed away from the fight range when he was interrupted.

"You gonna transform yet?" Trinity asks.

"Mmmmmm... I think I'll keep fighting as myself," Kaede scrstches his head.

"Kaede, you have to become a magical girl now!"

"No I don't, and I would rather handle it myself!"

"They are six fully grown men who are giving superheroes a hard time," Trinity sighs.

Kaede rubbed his temples. "Why couldn't you have given me a power suit?"

"You're getting off topic."

Kaede decided to ignore that last part as he proceeded to slam a headbutt at another assorted Sinister Six member.

"Dude, which part of six fully-grown men do you not underAAAAAAAAA-"

As for his next move, he pulled the plushie-like Trinity and began swinging him at the target's face.

Despite appearing to be a plushie made of soft fabrics and bolstered by cotton, Trinity was pretty durable, and if swung like that, could easily feel like a dozen rocks being slammed in your face.

"JUST- OOF- TRANSFORM- OFF- ALREADYGGYYYYAAAAAHHHH!!!!"

"Apparently Dad dug this bad boy up from underneath some ancient Greek ruins," Kaede explains to the strange serpentine mascot hiding in his bag known as Trinity.

"Wait, your dad's an archeologist?" Trinity asked.

"Trinity, we've established this before," Kaede replies.

"Teehee~"

He continued to walk around the museum, browsing the place and exhibits, before a most sinister team arrived to crack the glass and rob the place.

There were six of them.

"This looks like an emergency," Trinity says, "quick, transform!"

"No," Kaede replies, "if I can handle it like a man, I'll handle it like a man."

Kaede runs forward to the scene, and while they were distracted by the knight man's antics, he performed a low kick on the group's blind spot, disorienting them as they began to lose balance before he punched one in the nose directly, following it up with a crotch kick. He proceeds to punch another in the stomach, taking advantage of the disorientation to land more hits.

"Had enough? HAD ENOUGH?"

Legion of Heroes

Magical Girl Miracle Maple

“I’ve got your back, you’ve got mine.”

Name:
Fujioka Kaede

Superhero name:
Magical Girl Miracle Maple

Gender:
Male (Civilian)
Female (Transformed)

Race:
Human (Civilian)
Enhanced Human/Magical Girl (Transformed)

Age:
14

Appearance:
Kaede is only 1.55 metres tall, and this trait is shared by Miracle Maple. His build is not particularly bulky, and he is definitely a lightweight.

Miracle Maple’s hairdo, hair colour and eye colour will change based on the 4 (or rather 6) stances, but overall, she much like Kaede does not have much of a build.

Personality: Kaede is someone who strives to protect others and the weak, picking up fights with those who pick on them, even if it doesn't look like he will survive. He's a bit naive too, seeing things in black and white in a metaphorical sense. As he moves away from picking fights with school bullies and the occasional road delinquent and moves on to fighting villains with big plans for big reasons, all the while cooperating with heroes of a higher calibre, he will soon learn that as you grow up, life isn't easy.

Power:
Magical Girl Transformation - Can transform into magical girl using special trinkets, the 'Maple Stamps' as he calls it, loading them onto a device he calls the 'Maple Driver'. Their proper names are the Trinity Runes and the Trinity Heart.
Stance Change - The ability to switch between four forms. These forms are the Arcane Stance, the Lightning Stance, the Inferno Stance & the Tundra Stance.
In all forms, Maple is capable of levitation, and can sprout wings that correspond to the respective element, and she is vast in strength and speed compared to an average fully-grown peak human, no matter the form.

Arcane Stance - In this stance, Maple uses but her fists for combat, and is able to use raw power with no particular elemental properties or secondary effect. It is considered the most ‘balanced’, not particularly fast, strong or defensive.

Lightning Stance - In this stance, Maple has the power of lightning and wields the Mjolnir, a heavy hammer with great force. While generally sluggish, lightning energy can be channeled into this hammer as it is used like a witch’s broom, boosting speed for short bursts. This property can be used to accelerate attacks as well.

Inferno Stance - In this stance, Maple brandishes a powerful sword known as Kagutsuchi, capable of igniting itself, while she gains the ability of flames. I would say that this sword can cut through anything with sheer heat and edge, but there will always be a shield that claims to be unbreakable.

Tundra Stance - In this stance, Maple wields the lance known as Skadi, which veils itself in the power of ice and can flash-freeze opponents. Among the forms, this is the fastest.

Creator of Light - A secret stance that can only be unlocked through certain conditions, and is said to have the thundering endurance of the Lightning Stance, the power of the Inferno Stance & the blitzing speed of the Tundra Stance. In addition to using all three types of abilities, it can merge them by twos or merge them all into a single pure energy attack, as if it were - no, it is - light. It can only be achieved through special conditions, and based on how a story is to be told, it is likely that Avatar of Darkness needs to be achieved first and broken out of. She uses all three weapons in this form, triple-wielding via hands and teeth, and they can be merged into a single weapon.

Avatar of Darkness - This form is achieved by either corruption from an external force or falling into a great despair. Or whatever the plot demands. Yet another secret stance similar to Creator of Light, except it obviously uses the power of darkness instead. In this form, she uses the Scythe known as Thanatos, which controls darkness as well as ‘dark’ versions of each element. While dark fire still burns, dark ice still freezes and dark lightning still electrocutes, they do not share the weaknesses of base elements, but have the weaknesses of darkness instead. This form has such a different personality, you might just think it is alive… WINK WINK.

Limitations:
Transformation Limit - Instead of using something like posts or an observable gague to determine this, this will run out whenever convenient (or inconvenient). In-story, it is justified as ‘using too much power for an amount of time’ or ‘running on fumes for too long’. The inconsistency is intentional. This can be circumvented by the power of strong emotions, especially willpower, but even those have their limits.

Range Limit - Naturally, the effect of each ability weakens based on range. A ranged attack will need half a metre to build up and will peter out over a range of a hundred metres, where it will be barely tolerable by human standards. The build up can be increased to a metre to multiply the range by two, so we will get a two hundred metre thing. It's possible to build an attack up directly in a hand or weapon, in which the range would peter out over 25 metres, though such an ability is better off used in melee anyways.

Lack of Proper Training - While many heroes and villains actually have training prior to the start of the RP, Kaede/Maple lacks any sort of that. It's all up to power, enhanced reflexes, enhanced senses, resourcefulness and quick thinking.

Flaws/weaknesses:
Each form will get elemental weaknesses. Inferno Stance's abilities will be weakened by getting wet, Tundra Stance can't do so well under immensely high temperatures, Lightning Stance can get insulated... While wings are only neccessary for controlled flight and not levitation as a whole, it is worth mentioning that each form's wings are basically made from the elements, so you can figure out their weaknesses from there.

Skills/Talents:
Cooking
Cleaning
Expertise of Heroes and Villains (Big Fanatic)

Background/bio:
Kaede was an ordinary kid who always wanted to be a hero. Granted, he was always the rowdy type at school, getting into fights in an attempt to protect constantly-bullied students, and being bullied himself. One day, he met a little creature that was being hunted down by the Magic Keeper’s Circle. This creature introduced itself as Trinity, and while he himself could not fend the Magic Keeper’s Circle off, he could lend his vast power to someone else for them to tap into. Kaede, in a rush, accepted this offer and decided to fend off the Magic Keeper’s Circle, but in his shock, he found that by doing so, he had turned into a girl!

A magical girl!

He always wanted to be a hero, but not like this.

And so, this was his life now.

Obviously, he walloped their asses but they swore to be back. In a world of heroes and villains, they were not the only threats.

Legion of Heroes

I've been watching a lot of the DC cartoons lately so I'm kinda stuck in this Schick of supers right now. On top of that, I just recently got my Hellboy RPG book, so role-playing a super hero/Villain sounds fun! Would we be able to play a Villain instead?

Hi there!

This may be a weird question, but do you have an Anodite as your Discord avatar and do you hang around certain Ben 10-related communities?
