@VitaVitaARKyouko is accepted, yep yep.

GM post will be up later today.
@Dblade26 ACCEPTED! Welcome aboard.~
Thank you all for being understanding about the behaviors, it means a lot to me. And yeah, in the future they can probably buy various healing stuff since being injured for a long time wouldn't be really fun. XD

@Psyga315 Yeah, that's okay. Second character accepted.
@Sir Screwloose Yeah, it does have parking garages.

Also um, I'm just going to go and outright say it, but people who have their characters just keep attacking other characters for no reason will have a significantly higher chance of dying since it'll just invite people to defend themselves. So please stop doing that if you want your characters to live.

And in other news, the time skip will either happen tomorrow or early the day after to give people time to wrap things up since quite a few are fine with going forward.
If anyone isn't ready for the timeskip, just tell me and I'll gladly hold it back for a bit so everyone can get their objectives and plans done. I am a rather liberal GM so feel free to ask me for things. XD
@Trevor1001 There's a forcefield about the tower, yeah. It's also located smack dab in the center of the City, which is the size of a small country in and of itself, and both Mahora and Roanapur are close to the outer areas of the place so no one can really head there all that quickly.
If there's space for this, um, can I take a spot? I'd be willing to actively contribute stuff on a semi-regular basis.
Annnnnd posted. After everyone wraps up their stuff, a short time-skip will happen and things will kick into high gear so look forward to it, y'all.~
And Thus The Game Begins


As the newcomers slowly acclimated themselves to their exotic settings, the great spiralling Tower that could be seen from any part of the City began to become active. The great bulk somehow began to vibrate, building in both noise and intensity as it spun- slowly at first before picking up speed in its revolution until its great momentum bore into the skyline and space itself to reveal a white void against the darker night sky, like a dimension was fractured to reveal a glimpse into a higher plane. From the contrasting expanse came a large screening of a figure, one that was rather... whimsicial. All that could be seen from his apperance was a humanoid shape, the rest of his body a literal blank space with a question mark floating where a face should be Peering down at the country sized City, the titanic image looked like a god with the entirety of all underneath under His purview.

"Welcome, my Players." A most genteel voice emanated from the skies, soft and yet booming at the same time, each word crystal clear. "As you have no doubt guessed, you all are here to play a Game in this City. And I am He who brought you here, the Viewer. I won't mince any words- you have been brought here only be entertainment. Pieces in a game, as simple as that. You just simply have to survive and reach Me to win, everything else you do in this City will be of your own volition and choices. I expect great things from you all...~" And abruptly as He appeared, the great silhouette blinked away, the sheer whiteness of the space he was previously occupying being swallowed up once more by te blackness of light. For a moment, all was quiet until sheer noise rang out from the City as the other inhabitants reacted to the mercurial appearance, shifting through the gamut of reactions and generally being turbulent and churning.


Mahora

"..." Ranma gaped at the man shaped thing that appeared in the sky for a moment before his brows swiftly descended southwards to form an angry slant. "That jackass!" The pigtailed boy gritted his teeth as his ki flared for a bit, illuminating his form in blue tendrils of energy before calming down as he invoked the Soul of Ice, purging the rasher emotions forcibly to keep an even temper. "Hahn..." Putting down the saucer with a careful amount of gentleness, the martial artist attempted to refocus himself and be productive rather than become Ryoga and make a mess of things.

Naturally, his eyes came to rest on the nearby Chinese woman in blue with the eye-catching spiked bracelets considering she was sitting at the same table and had mentioned him. Deciding he should at least introduce himself to someone in the group before he gained a dumb nickname again (he had prior experiences with such), the crimson clad took the lead. "Heya, the name's Saotome Ranma." Naturally, Chun-Li gave him a good impression by being 1) a martial artist that knew her stuff judging by appearance, 2) rather levelheaded compared to the martial artist kooks back home, and 3) keeping an eye out on the psychopath that was making trouble earlier. "Guess this is our ragtag group, eh? Kinda fitting for someone like me." Making a joke at his own expense, the teen jerked a thumb to himself and gave a bit of a self-deprecating smile, wondering not for the first time how he kept on getting into situations like this.

Chao for her part looked a tad more serious than she generally did after the appearance of the Viewer's broadcast, her face set in an undefinable expression that bordered on frowning but not quite. "And it has started again..." Muttering this under her breath, she took a glance at the group before reverting back to her cheshire like grin once more. "In any case, if any of you'd like, there's quite a bit of empty rooms here in the campus since Mahora was sucked into the City during summer vacation." Taking out a tray that filled with various keys, the owner of the eatery gestured to the things. "Please feel free to pick up a key and requisition a dorm room since this'll be your home base for the moment. I can't in good conscious let you sleep out in the open." The Chinese girl said, being rather helpful simply because she wanted to be. "Tomorrow will be the first challenge, so I'd rather you all be comfortable and well rested before you tackle the day."


Roanapur

Looking out the window, the normally stoic Balalaika's face turned rather feral- like a wolf that was hungry and wanted to rip out its prey's throat. "You heard the Viewer. Be good gladiators and put on a good show." Waving a hand, the group of Russian mercenaries scattered about te bar grouped together about their leader and made their way out of the establishment with her in the lead. "Lots of blood will likely need spilling in the near future. We'll keep in touch, and I'll be asking for help in the future from you... fine people... " With that sarcastic drawl, the tall Hotel Moscow leader disappeared into a waiting limousine which soon drove off into the distance. Roanapur itself was now in a frenzied state that was half fearful and half greedy. Opportunities would no doubt appear very soon that would be full of either boons or perils like other such times when Players arrived in the City, where common sense and logic flew away due to the whims of a bored god.
Tamaki Asagami


Age: 18

Gender: Female

Appearance: "I wonder if there's treasure around..."

Personality: Tamaki is a cheerful gal who goes about being dynamic and bombastic, often times puttering around with what seems like limitless amounts of energy. She is direct and to the point, often lacking in anything known as subtlety due to her blunt honesty. She is also stubborn- not giving up on something when she put her mind to work on it, though she's not inflexible in her way of thinking and is of very broad mind and thinking. The girl also tends to have an extremely creative mind that is fertile enough to support a wide variety of daydreams and strange imaginings, essentially making her a cloud cuckoolander.

Abilities: Besides the basic Reinforcement magic, Tamaki's affinity has and always will be "Gems" and such her magic has a lot to do with the eponymous shiny rocks. With this particular affinity, the girl a scrying spell that works best when her target is near or has any sort of jewelery whatsoever. Besides her treasure scrying ability, she can push Mana into gems much faster than any other object and use it as a reserve, much like a stockpile of one ammunition... or bomb in the case she chooses to sacrifice the gem housing the surplus of Mana and detonate it all at once in a explosive blast (though she really hates doing this since it destroys a jewel from her collection). And finally, due to her being very close to her Affinity, she can temporarily access the attributes of the factors that were used to create gems, mainly "Heat" and "Pressure". With "Heat" she can somewhat make things hotter or colder than they should be by touching them with her hands. For "Pressure", Tamaki can do such things as Bind things she hits for a moment as well as use it to crush things with great force upon impact or throw things from afar with much more piercing power than they should have.

Skills: Well versed in gymnastics, various Chinese Martial Arts (particularly Baguazhang and Piguaquan), Asian cooking styles, and very good at inscribing patterns upon surfaces.

Equipment: Tamaki will always carry around a plethora of jewelery such as earrings, rings and so on, all filled to the brim with Mana in many varieties such as opal, alexandrite, sapphire, and so on. Also on hand is a very large diamond necklace that aren't particularly used for anything but as a particularly large mana battery and used for her more draining spells. All the gems she carries about on her has minute inscriptions carved upon the metal bearings that they are attached to, the better to direct her spells with as well as an effect that redirects most regular people's attentions away from otherwise eye-grabbing bling.

Brief Backstory: Tamaki's family is a particular eccentric clan of treasure hunters, driven by the need to go around the world and amass great wealth not due to greed, but for the simple thrill of collecting a prize after going through a hard challenge. Like any Asagami, Tamaki has the burning ambition to comb the world and amass the best of treasures, particularly gems. With her Affinity, it was rather easy for the girl to amass her current small but steadily growing collection, the majority of what she finds being sold off to provide for those less fortunate than herself and those of the highest carat being put in her personal collection. Due to traveling about in places that could well be described as dangerous and off the beaten path, the girl has plenty of combat experience despite her young age. Currently, the world wanderer has come back to Japan and settled down in Rokuro for the time being, her scryings telling her that there were treasures and challenges to be had in this place... Which pretty appealing to a thrill-seeking Asagami.
