Malevolence from Beyond

That would be wise, yes.

@Vega7285 Is there any space left? I really like the sound of this

@Sylvan

There's still a little space left. We're pretty close to a cut-off on characters as far as numbers go, though.

Kingdom Hearts: A New Kingdom

A portal opened and an armored woman stepped through it. There really wasn’t much to it, Saki thought as she deactivated her armor. Once you get the hang of it, it’s not much different from traveling through the Aetherflow back home. Sure, there weren’t aetherytes to guide the way, but perhaps these paths between worlds were less treacherous. That or someone would probably say one’s heart is one’s guide.

This was the right place, wasn’t it? She thumbed open her book to check the loose papers tucked just under the front cover. Yep, Game Central Station. Lovely place to meet. Plenty of people around, plenty of space and things to do. Not enough information to pick a specific spot. This is like just saying to meet up in New Gridania. At least give a landmark or something. That man… Saki shook her head. “Well, better take a look around.”

She didn’t get very far before a blue man in some sort of uniform appeared beside her. “Papers and identification, please.”

“Oh, sorry, hang on.” Saki checked a few pockets and handed over her license from the adventurers’ guild.

The Surge Protector examined it carefully, and handed it back to her. “I’m afraid that identification cannot he honored here, ma’am. Please wait here while I-”

Saki cut him off. “I’m here to meet a Master Xehanort. You wouldn’t happen to know where I could find him, would you?”

“That would explain a few of you,” the security guard replied. “Right this way.” he hurried into the crowd, and Saki followed him.

That sounds pretty cool. Looking forward to it.

For those who are still interested.

Malevolence from Beyond

My CS will be coming around tomorrow-ish. Assuming this is still going on.

@TheWindel

It's still going on. There's a fair bit of interest over in the int check, and I'll probably keep running, even if i don't have the full number of players I'd like. I'm not sure if it's too obnoxious to mention people in the int check I haven't seen here yet.

I'm looking forward to your character.

Here's my own character, speaking of.

Saya Koizumi

Name: Saya Koizumi
Age: 14, 3rd year
Appearance:

Normal appearance

Saya is average in overall height and build. She obviously suffers from albinism, with characteristic pale skin, eyes that are a sort of pale pink or purple in color, and extremely light hair. She usually wears sunglasses when out and about, or wears glasses with lenses that tint automatically when exposed to bright light or UV. She isn’t the sort to keep up with current fashion, and most of her clothes that aren’t her school uniform are far behind the latest trends. Due to her illness, Saya has several surgical scars.

History:
Saya’s family are caretakers and priests for one of the local shrines. As a result, she has an actual house that’s a good size and something of a rarity in an arcology. Her parents are traditional and strict when it comes to duties to the shrine, but otherwise Saya can usually avoid trouble if she’s got a good enough cover story and luck on her side. She has an older sister whom she adores. The two sisters get along well enough ,with the usual amount of friendly ribbing, and they split the household chores between them. They both have to work to maintain the shrine’s grounds and help out during festivals.

Saya wasn’t really born healthy, and she wasn’t born lucky, either. In addition to her lack of pigment and associated vision problems, she’s struggled with illness for much of her life. Modern medicine keeps her living a surprisingly active lifestyle, but she still needs frequent hospital visits and surgery to replace failing organs or otherwise treat her frequent medical woes.

Saya’s school life is probably what one would consider unremarkable. She’s not very smart, so she works hard for her grades. She has a few friends and hangs out with them. She watches weird shows and makes costumes based on the characters. Sometimes she tries to drag her friends into doing the same. Her unusual appearance alone is enough to set her apart, leading to the occasional odd look or people talking behind her back.

Personality:
Despite her weak constitution, Saya is energetic, outgoing, and positive. She works hard to get what enjoyment she can out of her good days, and rather than depend on others, tries to be someone they can depend upon. She helps others who she feels are suffering or in trouble, and she is perhaps a little too naively trusting.

She is also delusional. She believes herself to be a magical girl, even if she is demonstrably not. Surely, she can rush headlong into danger and things will work themselves out just like she’s the protagonist of some sort of show. This seems to be something of a coping mechanism for what’s happened to her.

Since her union with her symbiont, Saya has slowly become more cold-tempered, cruel, and violent. She’s more intimidating than she has any right to be, and seems to enjoy frightening her enemies with displays of her own strength. Even if she wants to befriend or get through to an enemy, she’s more than happy to beat them into submission first.

Ta'ge Symbiont

This is so old i see all the bad things about it

Natural weapons:

• Talons: The nightmare’s hands are tipped with long, deadly talons.
• Tentacle sheathe: The nightmare grows a set of tentacles that are usually retracted into one forearm. They can be used to entangle or grapple an opponent as well as do damage.
• Shoulder Pods: Each shoulder pod fires crimson bolts of energy capable of punching through walls.
• Depthless Strike: A wave of energy fired by striking the ground or another surface. It travels along a physical plane and can even follow it around corners to strike foes out of sight or in cover.

Limit Weapon:
Mystic Blast - Both shoulder pods charge up and unleash a terrifying blast of energy 2 meters wide and as tall as the tager. This blast is capable of taking out walls and even armor, damaging anything in its path.

Other supernatural Abilities:
Nightmares are stronger than most tagers and regenerate very quickly when shifted, but otherwise unremarkable. Saya’s has also manifested the ability to detect things by heat signatures. Nightmares are big, strong,and just as fast as other tagers, but about as subtle as a brick to the face.

Personality traits: Aggressive, violent, and overconfident. Nightmares are menacing, bloodthirsty, and always ready to pick a fight. While not driven to be in charge, a nightmare is the sort to question authority, if not outright rebellious.

Hybrid Form: Saya’s eyes become solid black, she gains her thermal vision, and may sprout her claws.

And, for those who might like it, I've made a discord server, because it's easy to do. And here it is. I'll also edit it into the OP.

Malevolence from Beyond | A Lovecraftian Magical Girl RP

Oh man, now this is a great twist to the Magical Girl trope! I hope you still have some space in there because I'm game for something like this.

@Polaris North

I'm glad you like the idea. There's still space, as not many people have tossed up characters yet. The OOC thread's linked above and has the usual even more detail and character sheet skeleton. Hope to see you there.

Kingdom Hearts: A New Kingdom

Saki Gin’iro

Name: Saki Gin’iro
Age: 32
Gender: Female
Race: Au ra
Homeworld: Hydaelyn
Key-Weapon: “Memory of Avalon” A large leatherbound tome with an impressive lock and accompanying key.
Magics:
Ruin, Bio, Cure, Reflect, Esuna, Thunder, Blizzard
D-Links: Merlin
Job: Scholar
Appearance: Saki is short even for an Au ra woman, standing around 5’1” tall. She has silver-grey skin and usually wears light blue lipstick. Saki typically dresses in scholarly robes, and although it’s not “proper” greatly prefers a pointed witch’s hat over a miterboard. Like all Au ra, she has dragon-like scales, horns, and a long reptilian tail.
Brief History:
Saki’s past isn't particularly important, to hear her tell it. She grew up and left home to see the world, eventually arriving at the Arcanist guild in Limsa Lominsa. Her career as an adventurer began uneventfully enough, but eventually grew considerably. She went from humble beginnings doing odd jobs and occasionally delving into dungeons to joining the Scions of the Seventh Dawn and helping them protect all of Eorzea from such threats as the Primals and the Garlean empire.

It was during one such investigation for the Scions that Saki’s life took a turn for the unusual. Strange creatures had been appearing, and she was tasked with figuring out what they were, and dealing with them if possible. From the descriptions, these strange black shadows must be some sort of voidsent. Eventually, Saki found them. Small black creatures with glowing yellow eyes, larger ones in armor, and other unusual monsters. If they were creatures of darkness, they were utterly unlike anything else she had seen.

She and her carbuncle fought these strange creatures, of course. Not that it did much good, it seemed like she could barely harm the things. It wasn’t long before she was overwhelmed and dragged down into the darkness. She wasn’t dead, or even unconscious. Was this the void?

“You look like you’re in a spot of trouble,” a voice rang out from far away, and Saki reached toward it. In a flash of light, a new book appeared in her outstretched hand. Somehow, she knew that with it, she’d be able to fight back against those strange creatures, and fight she did, defeating the shadows that had come with her.

Although she eventually made her way out of whatever gap between worlds she’d entered, Saki never did make it back to Eorzea. Being an adventurer, she’s taken her further travels in stride. The worlds were different, but someone willing to go fight monsters or do other odd jobs was still well enough in demand.

I feel like the personal history needs work. Whatever the case, she's probably the sort you could imagine the player character in FF14 being if they weren't the Warrior of Light. And then things go off the rails.

No need to move away from it. Plenty of room for multiple takes on the idea anyway.
