Writing up the lore now, thread going up sometime this week.
Eh, close enough. 'Definitely not young' is what I was going for.
I was thinking 30s- apologies to my fellow members of the age group.
1. The latter.

2. Of course!

3. Not familiar with Nanoha, but it sounds like the latter.

4. A dramedy, if that makes sense. Definitely not grimdark- if I wanted that, I would stick to real life.
It all began on a quiet day in Tokyo. Well, quiet until the monster showed up. The beast ravaged downtown, and nothing could seemingly even slow it down. And then a twelve-year-old-girl in a cute costume blasted it to bits.

Soon, magical girls straight out of anime were popping up in major cities around the world. London, Paris, Rio, Sydney. They were superstars like none other. Fighting evil, finding true love and best friends, and looking good doing it all. Every young girl wanted to be one, and you were no exception. Fan magazines? You devoured them. Youtube videos? You had playlists on loop. Official costumes? You bought every single one, playing dressup in preparation for the day you transformed into an icon of justice for real.

Alas, fate was not so kind, and as you grew up, you were resigned. Resigned to a ho-hum, average life.

Now, twenty years since the first magical girl appearance, a group of unsuspecting New York City women are about to get a shot at the dream that seemed to pass them by. But adult life is rough, and optimism in short supply. Can they recover the idealism and wonder of youth, or are they doomed to failure?

Hi there, and welcome to the RP! Inspired by classic magical girl anime like Sailor Moon, PreCure, and Cardcaptor Sakura, but with a twist: all the heroines this time around are middle-aged. What happens when childhood superpowers run into the hard brick wall called adulthood? Let's find out together, shall we?
"Ah, I see. A tragic romance- the Bard would be proud. You know, I saw the premiere of Romeo and Juliet," Rebecca commented. "Not one of his better works, in my opinion- gods alone know how it became so popular. Be that as it may, Anna, I will leave you to your duties. I have mine as well."

As Anna phased through the doorway, Rebecca headed into the kitchen. It was small for a commercial affair, but it seemed that much of the equipment was enchanted, which helped. Ovens and stoves turned on of their own accord, while pots and pans flew where they were needed and spice racks refilled themselves. The lich blinked a fair few times in surprise- half the work was seemingly done for her. She'd have to be more of an overseer than a chef, which admittedly did take some of the fun out of it all.
Waiting to see what kind of guest we get before posting.
Rebecca nodded politely as each of the other new employees introduced themselves to the rest of the group. She'd always been more of a listener than a talker. That said, she noticed DeeDee take a few rather large steps backward and groaned. Even among the supernatural community, the living dead got a rather bad rap. She hadn't even eaten anyone's brains! As Cythena mentioned that they had a customer, the lich turned towards the kitchen to get to work. As she did so, however, she stopped to ask Anna a question- ghostly invisibility was no challenge to a necromancer, after all.

"Um, excuse me? Anna, wasn't it? I apologize if this is a sensitive subject for you, but... how did you die?"
Rebecca stood up first. "I'm Rebecca Van Zant, necromancer and chef. I'm very experienced, cooked every style you can think of and a few you can't. It helps being undead and immortal. Also, if we have any guests of a spiritual nature, let me know. I've dealt a lot with ghosts in my magical studies." The lich felt something shift in her abdominal cavity and looked down to find that a loop of her intestines had become, well, outtestines, for lack of better phrasing. She quickly shoved the wayward organ back into place.

"Don't pay any attention to that. I'm used to it, happens more often than you'd think."
Name: Rebecca Van Zant

Age: 500 something, she's lost count.

Species: Lich (undead witch)

Powers: Necromancy- Rebecca can reanimate corpses, speak with ghosts, and allow spirits into her body to gain their skills and knowledge. She can even travel to various afterlives, body and soul

Undead- Rebecca will shrug off any injury, up to and including decapitation. The only way to truly kill her is to destroy the necklace that holds her soul.

Hotel Job: Head chef

Skills: An encyclopedic knowledge of cooking and recipes picked up over centuries.
