Everything's done except getting a theme and a majicl girl outfit which goes hand-in-hand with the Mana Crystal, but I'm sure you can take a look nonetheless?

Yay, it's up \o/.
I'll work on a CS as soon-ish as I'm home! Pretty much got most laid out in my head except a majicl transform costume.
Not sure what exact virtue yet, but definitely something along the lines of being headstrong, to never give up. Someone who goes full fisherman until all the mind-breaking happened, hehe.
Also, just to confirm, melee focused people are a thing, too?
Will there be a Discord?

@LuckyBlackCat wanna go with my usual headstrong delusional genki justice gal. 'Virtue' is a pretty generic term, is there some sort of list? Like only the 7 virtues opposite of the 7 sins in Christian? Or essentially anything that can be reasoned up to being a 'good' in a sense?

@ERode Eyyy. Alright, here just a general recap.
Basic Premise
RP takes place in a more-or-less medieval generic fantasy world that benefits from a relatively long-lasting era of peace thanks to the Church of Eins - commonly simply referred to as 'Church'. The Church's influence transcends that of a Kingdom, State, etc.. They were the ones who brought magic back into the world and have enough sorta-charity services and so on. Kings, Lords, and so on are more-or-less puppets. They also have the whole secret police schtick going on although it mainly hits criminals.
Amidst all this, one day, a girl arrives at your doorstep. Telling you how this Paradise is a farce and beckons you to join her in a Crusade against God itself. To reveal the true nature of those who portray themselves as saviours and start a revolution.
Spellblaze
200 or so years ago, a catastrophic event happened that is referred to as the Spellblaze. A calamity that killed every single person capable of magic in an instant. A mass genocide, of sorts. While the exact cause is unknown, the common explanation is that it had been a grand ritual gone awry. Following this, a time of chaos and turmoil followed until the Church of Eins emerged.
The epicentre of the Spellblaze is known as the 'Mark of the Spellblaze' and is essentially a deformed, lifeless, piece of land. Entering this place is forbidden and it's tightly guarded by the Church.
Magic
Before the Spellblaze, magic had been accessible in a wide variety of ways. One mainly needed to have some innate talent. After the Spellblaze, magic was believed to have gone extinct. Until the Church of Eins made the discovery of Runestone. Runestones are minerals containing magical energy needed to use magic - theoretically allowing anyone to use magic (again).
A Runestone alone is not enough, however. While it serves as the source, there is also the subject of execution. Unlike before, where people used magic via chants, song, feelings, whateverelseyayforfreeform, it became way more structured and science-y. A spell can't be cast unless the caster understands the underlying theory. Requiring knowledge from many fields, it mostly boils down to calculations based on math though.
Essentially, there can be magicians who rely on fixed formulas, making their magic inflexible but without many errors. While on the other hand are also more flexible ones, doing the whole math-schtick on the go. Allows more fine-tuning but more prone to errors. Everybody could now use magic, as long as they studied (hard).
Runestones play a diverse role in all of this but can be simplified into 'affinity' and 'capacity.' Runestones have a certain amount of magical energy stored that is being used up, but they also have a certain affinity towards certain types of magic that makes them use more/less energy. The profiency of the magician casting the magic also plays a role, however.
It is worth noting that some Runestones are also be inscribed with a spell/effect. Imagine a runestone simply lightning up an area around itself rather than a torch. Thus, technology has also advanced in certain areas.
Technology
Mostly medieval fantasy with some 'Steampunk Rune Shenanigans' thrown in. Like a freezer which is essentially just a box which inner area is under constant effect of a high-efficency 'make the area colder' spell. (Said Runestone would need to be bought again regulary however).
Church of Eins
Most of the Church has already been explained more-or-less through the other parts. The Church of Eins is spread throughout the entirety of the continent, but they do have a city-state of their own called Chisato. At the center of it is a tower that extends into the heavens, with the God 'Ein' on top. Watching over the world. Or so they claim anyway. They have a monpoly on Runestone production and research. Schools and academies teaching mages also belong to them.
Runestone needs to be mined. All known mines belong to the Church. People inside the mines have it rather rough, but are still treated human. Most workers consist of small-time criminals or fathers who want to support their family. Once you're inside the mine, you can't leave, however.
The religion of Ein is basically state religion everywhere and worshipping other religions is a crime. The religion in itself is based on a single god and without going too deep about its doctrines and so on it's really easy comparable to what the catholic faith did inside europe at medieval times.
Other tidbits
Eh, that's more-or-less all. Other random things coming to mind/repeat on what we talked about in Discord.
Monsters aren't really a thing anymore. They are still around, but the Church takes care of them and they aren't a threat anymore.
Human masterrace Unless you really want other races like elves and dwarves, the world conists mainly of humans.
Woman aren't oppressed, but it's the typical 'stand in the kitchen, man on the fields' stuff.
Despite the Church of Eins bringing prosperity to all and keeping elite in check, there are still distinct difference between poor, rich, and middle class.
Sure there can be customs and traditions, but the design of the various places/kingdoms isn't something I have done. It's not that important for the overall plot. So feel free to inject if you'd like.
Education to become a magician is actually a 'free' thing from the Church, but the exams aren't that easy.
That's more or less it? Just msg me once you're around/back from camping.
Enjoy!

Sign me up for some Majicl Girls!
Muu stopped in her steps as she realized the true size of their prey. It was huge. Not just huge, but huuuge! Way bigger than she, and likely anyone else had expected. And, once again, doubt set into her mind. How were they supposed to deal with this thing? Should they just run? What could she do? What could her weapon do? Was she simply useless?
To make matters worse, it looked like the monstrosity had already set sights on a target that was not her. Muu wasn't even aware of its front view and the gargantuan maw that could easily swallow a horse whole. "Urgh..." Nonetheless, she had to do something. Anything. Shaking her head, the girl now rushed forward. Closer and closer. Clenching her fist hard enough on the hilt of her weapon that her knuckles turned white, she tried to pierce the slimy outer skin of the toad's hindleg.

Shaking her head, the girl now rushed forward. Closer and closer. Clenching her fist hard enough on the hilt of her weapon that her knuckles turned white, she tried to pierce the slimy outer skin of the toad's hindleg.
After her somewhat explosive entrance, things seemed to escalate quickly. Explosions here, bigger explosions there. Trees getting uprooted and entire ruins crumbling under the constant assault of metal and energy-like attacks alike. A cacophony of destruction that Rin-Rin seemed to enjoy nonetheless. Being her first field deployment, it was exactly how she imagined it. Nonstop action and chaos without a moment of respite and order. The raven-hair couldn't help but smile.
"Muhahahaha!" The Linker girl simply laughed without fear, even as a bunch of Invaders were charging right at her and Falk. "You better give up your effortless struggle! The good guys ALWAYS win!" Absolute confidence, or just pure stupidity in the face of danger? The answer to that mattered little, as moments later Yui arrived right next to her (and Falk) in exploding fashion: Quickly taking care of that threat. "Good Job, hotshot!" Gosh, melee people were so cool! Why was she a Linker again?
With the other teams now slowly gathering all at the same spot, and the small fries running away, Rin-Rin couldn't wait to witness that big effin' something that was apparently moving closer and closer onto their position in person. Nonetheless, as it turned out, Rin-Rin actually had a moment of peace and time to prepare.
"Oy, Falky!" She called out to her explosive friend. "Explosions are great, but y'know what's better? Bigger explosions! And today's finally THE day for Rin-Rin's super special pimp-my-bomb service!" Considering Falk's tendency to go a little bit overboard in the practical exercises, the raven-hair had been explicitly forbidden from using her power on Falk's bombs. But right now they weren't exercising.
"Show me one!" She commanded Falk before her red eye started to glow once more. Increasing the power of one explosive? Easily done! Not even taking two seconds, Rin now went on her knees in pain as she coughed up more blood. "Goooo!" Her head throbbed strong enough that it drowned most of the other noises around her. Yet, not enough that she couldn't hear the majestic roar of their adversary.
Looking up, despite the pain, she could once again do nothing but smile.
