History Tropers / MicoolTNT

While I can't be bothered to tropefy myself, list off favourite tropes, or describe myself much more than one word - [[AwesomeEgo Awesome]] - I have decided to finally bluelink myself to put down some details about myself, my canon(s) and characters.

[[folder: My canons:]]

(Under construction; much more elaboration to be added.)

'''''Arena Magica'''''

The PuellaMagi, post-happy ending and thus much LighterAndSofter, sans Rebellion. VictoryIsBoring (leading to [[Roleplay/EnterTheArenaAsYourAvatar Entering The Arena]]), TheGadfly, and ShipTease ensue.

Madoka: Madoka's top priority is to protect her friends, and thus to protect the Sanctuary's existence by protecting herself. She doesn't like her friends risking their pain to fight, and doesn't understand how it's possible to enjoy fighting; she just wants everyone to be safe and happy. She takes a AGodIAmNot attitude towards her role, and always refers to the other Puella Magi as her friends. The Sanctuary's only official rule is "no worshipping [Madoka], no shrines to [her]".

Homura: After all that she's been through, Homura just wants a break. She usually looks down on the other Puella Magis' antics, not deigning to get involved (but is occasionally amused by ShipTease and hints of romance). However, she is also willing to do whatever it takes to protect Madoka, and sees herself as Madoka's secret weapon and last resort if the Sanctuary is ever threatened, or Madoka ever needs anything else done.

Mami: Glad to never have to be alone again. Close and clingy to the others as a result.

Kyoko: Still snarky, aloof, and more pragmatic/cynical than the others. However, looks out for all the others now.

Sayaka: Still the wannabe white knight.

Isaki: See her section under OC's.

'''Relationships'''

Madoka: Wants everybody to stop fighting each other, stop going to the Arena, and just be happy and safe.

Homura: Thinks the others are idiots and refuses to get involved in them fighting amongst themselves, but has their back against outside forces. Her and Mami find common ground as the "sensible ones", and tend to have quiet teas together on those grounds, but she also thinks Mami foolish for trying to come between the others when they fight.

Mami: Tries to play the peacekeeper and bring everyone together - two aims which often end up mutually contradictory. She finds common ground with Homura as the other "sensible, mature" member of their circle.

Kyoko: Wants to prove she's surpassed Mami (she hasn't), but has otherwise mended their relationship and is friendly with her. Wants to shut Sayaka up about RightMakesMight and [[MightMakesRight prove the opposite trope]]. Enjoys trolling Sayaka and sparring with Isaki.

Sayaka: Wants to shut Kyoko up and prove RightMakesMight. [[strike: Enjoys sparring with Isaki, although finds her attitude irresponsible.]] Sayaka and Isaki have recently had a falling-out, due to Isaki's recklessness, irresponsibility, and willingness to go against the Puella Magi's consensus and Madoka's will, which Sayaka interprets as treachery.

Isaki: Thinks everyone else needs to lighten up, and totally doesn't get how Mami can live such a quiet life. [[TheGadfly Pokes at anything she thinks looks amusing]], [[LeeroyJenkins tries to get in on anything she thinks will be exciting/enjoyable]], and [[BloodKnight will challenge anyone she can]]. Has a total hero-worship for Madoka since she can now enjoy life forever and fight even more recklessly, but is also annoyed with her for trying to "ruin her fun".

'''Attitudes Towards/Reasons for Entering the Arena'''

Madoka: Hates the other Puella Magi going to the Arena (thinking they'll only find pain), and originally tried to stop it, but has now grudgingly accepted that they've declared themselves the "guardians" and "protectors" of it.

Homura: (I don't play Homura in the Arena, Foxmccloud does.)

Mami: Normally would prefer not to, but will enter to protect her friends or watch over the innocent.

Kyoko: To "stretch her legs".

Sayaka: To protect the innocent and punish evildoers. And because the Sanctuary doesn't need a hero, but the Arena sure does.

Isaki: For the thrill of combat.

(All the Puella Magi have control over the spaces they inhabit, which form themselves from both their conscious and subconscious preferences.)

Madoka: Omnipresent.

'''Arena ''Nanoha'''''

Nanoha gets pulled down to the Arena. Arthra investigates. Idolo shows up and things go FromBadToWorse. Fate's RoaringRampageOfRevenge, misunderstandings, and PTSD ensue. And then it ends in RealityEnsues.

And then Jail Spaghetti gets his hands on a bunch of Metatron and builds Omega.

I don't care what others think of me, and I'll always say what I think. However, I always (try to) state my opinions ''as opinions'' and respectfully accept others' opinions. (I often used to give my opinion when it wasn't wanted, but that's a habit I'm toning down.) I also tend to [[TheGadfly bring up adverse opinions and play Devil's Advocate, just for the fun and challenge, and to highlight relativism]]. (This sometimes tends to get confused with my actual opinions -_-).

In real life, I'm a short, slim young man with long black hair. [[RealMenWearPink (Yes, I'm a guy.)]] Most of the time, I try to act friendly and cheerful (acting much like my OC Isaki in that respect), but sometimes I'm just too tired, apathetic and lazy to bother. And will then turn dry and snarky.

I am an EthicalHedonist, and one of the most if not ''the'' most important thing for me is to ''enjoy my life''. I also see myself as (sensibly) ChaoticGood due to my respect for individual freedoms; I believe the human race can and should be trusted with freedom (within reason), and that one of the best paths to enjoying your life is to follow your true desires and be honest with yourself. My typical response to negative emotions is to avoid or emotionally detach myself from the source. (I'm aware this may not be ideal, but it makes logical sense, and it is who I am and how I operate for the moment.) I used to be TheSpock, but I've mostly grown out of it. I do still like logic and rationality, seeing them as "one of my favourite tools", but no longer define myself by them; there are many things I respectfully disagree with Rationalists about.

I don't care what others think of me, and I'll always say what I think. However, I always (try to) state my opinions ''as opinions'' and respectfully accept others' opinions. (I often used to give my opinion when it wasn't wanted, but that's a habit I'm toning down.)If you want to be my friend, I'll reciprocate. If you don't, or want to be an ass, I don't care. [[TheGadfly I'll cheerfully reciprocate.]]

And yes, [[SelfDemonstratingArticle like so many tropers]], I fancy myself a DeadpanSnarker and enjoy doing so (though I tend to take an overused, spray-and-pray approach to it which makes it un-funny except for my best shots, my headshots as it were).

[[spoiler: And to balance him in the Arena, he'll only get access to ''one'' of his Projects at a time. [[DefiedTrope No]] {{Ass Pull}}s here!]]

Light Assault Mode: Used to take on empowered humans and other "normal" level threats (up to Super Weight 2), Light Assault Mode consists only of gauntlets, boots, the Energon Reactor, and a combat harness for slightly improved mobility and durability, though it'll still need to block/dodge most attacks and can't fly. Its weapons in Light Assault Mode are wrist-mounted micro-missile launchers (which can also fire a shotgun-like burst at close range, thanks to the versatility of Energon projectiles), Energon Blades (which can use RazorWind, mostly for defence), and submachine guns concealed within the gauntlets, as well as Repulsor blasts. It also features waist-mounted Energon shuriken holsters, which generate a nigh-infinite supply, limited only by the Arc Reactor's power.

[[spoiler: Furthermore, I've established several confusing interpretations of him in the Arena, so I'll clarify here: No, he does ''not'' know he is an AuthorAvatar (and I would appreciate if people stopped doing the "strange aura" thing). He ''generally'' does not have meta knowledge of characters or events (despite [[OldShame his encounter with Anubis]]), because that sort of gameplay is not fun.]]

'''Project Phalanx'''

Wielded by my AuthorAvatar, Project Phalanx is a ring-shaped device resembling a Puella Magi ring which allows the user to summon and command up to four Magical Girls at will. Each of the Magical Girls has [[CurtainsMatchTheWindow hair, eyes]] and outfit of a certain colour theme. The four Magical Girls are:

Blaeza, the [[PlayingWithFire Firestorm]]. As the (physically) strongest of the Magical Girls and most adept in melee combat, she tends to act in a brash, cocky, [[BloodKnight eager]] manner. Her colour theme is red.

Raeza, the [[BlowYouAway Windstorm]]. Much like her abilities, she tends to move and act with a casual, easy grace which can turn sharp where necessary. Her colour theme is sky-blue.

Curea, the [[TheMedic Healing]] [[BarrierWarrior Shield]]. She tends to act kind and caring, but pragmatically so rather than in a bleeding-heart way, focussing on preventing harm rather than freaking out over it. Her colour theme is leaf-green, and her outfit has a vaguely leafy motif. [[spoiler: She also has an auto-shield against bullets for anyone on my team who gets shot at, mostly for pragmatic reasons, since otherwise my characters would have no defence against guns; Raeza's RazorWind would be too slow]].

Iona, the [[LightEmUp Shining]]. Her colour theme is a shining silver, and she tends to have a distant, "transcendant", above-it-all air to her.

In-universe, Project Phalanx was created by my AuthorAvatar in his secret - or not-so-secret nowadays - Research Lab, based on the principles of Puella Magi and Soul Gems, hence its ring's resemblance to one. He insists that all research was done using genuine volunteers, who are treated well, under the promise of eventually breaking the contract and restoring them to true human form.

Nevertheless, there's something... ''off'' about the Phalanx girls. The only obvious clue so far is that when not actively doing something, they tend to remain oddly blank and passive. When fighting with them, the Avatar also often tends to have a look of concentration, as though playing a videogame or similar. Finally, they seem to break out of their supposed characterizations fairly easily.

[[spoiler: Out-of-universe, each girl is also loosely based off an "ideal" of beauty (Blaeza = brazen, cocky, {{Tomboy}}, Raeza = Graceful and flowing, Curea = kind, caring, compassionate, nature-theme, Iona = "trascendant", unearthly, light). However, this is not true in-universe, as that would have creepy implications.]]

[[spoiler: Both in and out-of-universe, I created the Project because I wanted characters to enter scenes directly on my behalf, fight for me when I didn't feel like using AuthorPowers and the Rules of [[RuleOfCool Cool]] and [[RuleOfFunny Funny]], and make me look more awesome by their presence - not-so-evil minions, basically. And since I already had a reputation of using Magical Girls, I figured I might as well run with that.]]

[[spoiler: And no, [[SincerityMode there is nothing untoward between me and them]], and never will be.]]

[[spoiler: [[strike: Besides, who would suspect Magical Girls of being evil minions! Muahahahahahaha!]]]]

Sayaka: Wants to shut Kyoko up and prove RightMakesMight. Enjoys sparring with Isaki, although finds her attitude irresponsible.

The Void is a mysterious being that usually first appears as a nameless, sourceless dread and sense of ominousness. It will attempt to trick its victim into attempting to flee their place of safety and the presence of other people by inducing paranoia. However, the further and faster they run, the worse things get; mundane things will at first start to appear ominous, and will eventually mutate into warped, malicious forms which will actively attempt to attack the victim. Soon, they will be assailed by nightmarish visions. As long as they continue to run. If they stand and fight, its power will be weakened and possibly even broken, and the nightmares will prove surprisingly weak in direct combat. All through this, the Void will speak to them in two different ways: it will threaten to "take" and "consume" them, declaring that "the Void has you", and attempt to make them more afraid, telling them to "run from it", but it will also offer them safety and salvation if they "run to it" and give into it. It will declare itself both pleasure and pain, salvation and damnation. Eventually, it will name itself the Void of Escape.

When she touches them, a psychic exchange will take place; they will see her story. She was created by a malicious, tormented individual who hated everything, yet loved her; yet still abused her. She was torn between loving him back, and wanting to escape. Eventually, he cast her out (feeling that his love for her made him weak). Her pain and desire to escape connects with a "deeper primal force", which she merges with to become the Void of Escape. She will also see their story, and will attempt to use it to convince them to abandon their life, convincing them that only pain awaits them in the outside world, while she can save them. If they accept, they will stay with her, within her safe embrace (literally and figuratively) while eventually becoming one with her; if they refuse, she will lash out at them, transforming into an EldritchAbomination while displaying shock, sadness, and disbelief, but they will typically be released after suffering a final, agonizing attack.

[[spoiler: I then completely failed at making her [[CompleteMonster "irredeemable"]] with her mass murder spree aboard the Arthra, since she did the relevant actions under the influence of PsychoSerum; it ultimately only succeeded in leaving her nothing to come back to if she was saved. I also failed to take into account the fact that other characters (and players) would notice (remember) that there's a ''freaking 9 year old girl'' under all that crap, causing most of them to want to try to save her.]]

I typically enjoy roleplaying light-hearted, LargeHam BloodKnights and {{Spirited Competitor}}s, although I can (and do enjoy) getting philosophical and writing character(s) like that, including MindRape scenes. I enjoy the process of {{Deconstruction}}, but usually don't enjoy [[RealityEnsues the]] [[DarkerAndEdgier results]], and thus inadvertently ruin a lot of works for myself with FridgeHorror.

Basically, Micool believes that in a world/multiverse of technology and magic, conventional skills and strength are meaningless (as well as being a blurred-line case of ItAmusedMe / ForScience / EthicalHedonist). As such, he's decided to gather, combine, and enhance every source of magical, technological, and supernatural power he can get his hands on, and adapt them to his own use. As an AntiNihilist and ([[ItAmusedMe somewhat]]) EthicalHedonist, [[ImmortalitySeeker his ultimate goal is]] [[DefiedTrope sa]][[WhoWantsToLiveForever fe]], [[AvertedTrope ethi]][[ImmortalityImmorality cal]] {{immortality}}, and to [[{{Transhumanism}} enhance his capabilities along transhumanist lines,]] but until then he's mostly operating under ItAmusedMe and RuleOfCool as an InvokedTrope.

Wielded by an AuthorAvatar who I try to make as true to my real-life personality as possible - in both the good and the bad - Project Phalanx is a ring-shaped device resembling a Puella Magi ring which allows the user to summon and command up to four Magical Girls at will. Each of the Magical Girls has [[CurtainsMatchTheWindow hair, eyes]] and outfit of a certain colour theme. The four Magical Girls are:

"I'm just a humble MadScientist, doing [[ChaoticNeutral whatever the hell I want]]!"

Blaeza, the Firestorm. Her abilities are PlayingWithFire, and she's also the strongest of the Magical Girls and most adept in melee combat. Her colour theme is red, and she tends to act in a brash, cocky, [[BloodKnight eager]] manner.

Raeza, the Windstorm. Her abilities are BlowYouAway, using RazorWind for offence and shockwaves for defence. Her colour theme is sky-blue, and she tends to act and move with a casual, easy grace.

Curea, the Healing Shield. Her abilities are BarrierWarrior and healing; she is the team's WhiteMage. She also has an auto-shield against bullets for anyone on my team who gets shot at [[spoiler: mostly for pragmatic reasons, otherwise my otherwise-unpowered AuthorAvatar would just get killed in one shot]]. Her colour theme is leaf-green, and her outfit has a vaguely leafy motif. She tends to act kind and caring, but pragmatically so rather than in a bleeding-heart way.

Iona, the Shining. Her abilities are LightEmUp; she can fuck up enemy laser attacks, as well as using her own beam and energy ball attacks. Her colour theme is a shining silver, and she tends to have a distant, "transcendant", above-it-all air to her.

Without the added incentive (of the Arena) to maintain and train their combat skills, Madoka is eventually able to calm the Puella Magi and help them (begin to) overcome their individual hangups, creating a truly peaceful happy ending. Isaki is unable to accept this, as it means no more action and excitement (just quiet, peaceful happiness... [[{{Foreshadowing}} or]] [[StrawNihilist something else?]]). As such, she goes off the deep end into ItAmusedMe territory and her [[TheGadfly Gadfly]] tendencies become outright {{Troll}}ing as she goes further and further chasing cheap laughs, thrills, and trying to start fights. This is only worsened by the other Puella Magi turning away from her in response, leading to a vicious cycle. Eventually, her trolling pushes Homura over the edge, resulting in a cataclysm which nearly destroys Madoka's Sanctuary.

She is weaker than [[spoiler: Cyberna]] in sheer power, having a limited number of wireframe shards (with more being regenerated if destroyed). (When a wireframe construct is damaged or destroyed, some of the shards forming it are destroyed, others become shards again.) However, she compensates for this with human intelligence (and [[SanityHasAdvantages sanity]]). While she can ''appear'' to form autonomous constructs, such as attack drones or autoturrets, she cannot create true [[spoiler: Familiars]]; her wireframe constructs cannot persist outside of the Cybernetic Zone.

If her human "avatar" is completely destroyed, Isana briefly loses control of her powers, the spirals in her eyes going out of control and manifesting in the "real world". Attacking the spirals in this state will actually hurt Isana, as well as causing them to shorten, drawing out her soul, which appears as a small blue "star" (yes, Isana's eyes are ''literally'' WindowsToTheSoul). Destroying the spirals - which would be fairly easy at this point, if one could stand the screaming - would leave Isana a disembodied soul, as close to death as she's ever been. [[spoiler: I decided to change this to make it ambiguous if Isana is truly immortal (after all, Grief Seeds are capable of surviving the damage that kills their Witch unscathed), further justifying her easy confidence, lack of fear, and focus on admiration before even the most terrifying abominations, making her character free-er to fearlessly enter dangerous situations, and making it clearer when she's defeated in the Arena - if you destroy her body, you've basically won. If you destroy her spirals, you've basically killed her.]]

Attacking the spirals in this state will actually hurt Isana, as well as causing them to shorten, drawing out her soul, which appears as a small blue "star" (yes, Isana's eyes are ''literally'' WindowsToTheSoul). Attacking and destroying this "soul star" will permanently kill Isana (except in the Arena, where she will respawn); in her current state, she is no longer contract-bound to Madoka, and cannot be saved by her.

While I can't be bothered to tropefy myself, list off favourite tropes, or describe myself much more than one word - [[AwesomeEgo Awesome]] - I am deciding to finally bluelink myself to put down some details about myself, my canon(s) and characters.

In combat ([[MundaneUtility or for other purposes, such as transport]]) Isana is capable of manifesting and using functional wireframe weapons, vehicles, and devices of many kinds. However, this ability is very limited unless she "opens" her "Cybernetic Zone", forcing her [[spoiler: Barrier]] to overlap the real world and allowing her to fill the area around herself with wireframe shards to form her constructs. She also has access to Isaki's powers, and can use the KiAttacks in melee combat, although she no longer uses the rollerblades. Despite her theme, all of her powers are based on magic, not technology; her constructs do not have to be physically possible or technologically plausible, but obviously cannot be copied into functional real-life versions if they are not.

She has a limited number of wireframe shards, with more being regenerated if destroyed. (When a wireframe construct is damaged or destroyed, some of the shards forming it are destroyed, others become shards again.) She can appear to form autonomous constructs, such as attack drones or autoturrets, but cannot create true [[spoiler: Familiars]]; her wireframe constructs cannot persist outside of the Cybernetic Zone. Her sheer power is weaker than [[spoiler: Cyberna]], although she compensates for this with human intelligence (and [[SanityHasAdvantages sanity]]).

In real life, I'm a short, slim young man with long black hair. [[RealMenWearPink (Yes, I'm a guy.)]] Most of the time, I am friendly and cheerful (acting much like my OC Isaki in that respect), but sometimes I'm just too tired and apathetic to bother. (And will then usually ignore and avoid most everyone.) Other times, I'm lost in my own thoughts, thinking hard about something.

Her "weapon" is a [[RollerbladeGood pair of magical rollerblades]], which she can summon and unsummon at will (even in civilian form). Her support power is KiAttacks, which she can use to enhance her melee strikes, form energy blades over her hands, or fire as beam attacks. She always strikes with an open hand. Her typical fighting style is to [[FragileSpeedster hit-and-run]] with her energy blades, fire energy beams on the move, and pounce on any weakness or even spare moment with her "[[FinishingMove Tamashii]] [[KamehameHadoken Gekido]]" (or just use it for a BeamOWar). In a group/team, she makes an effective [[AnAdventurerIsYou Speed Tank]], as she's [[LeeroyJenkins usually the first one into combat]] (if she's sure of who the bad guys are), her [[GenkiGirl loud mouth]] and [[CasualDangerDialogue smartass comments]] tends to draw attention to her, and she enjoys dodging ''at least'' as much as attacking.

Without the added incentive (of the Arena) to maintain and train their combat skills, Madoka is eventually able to calm the Puella Magi and help them to (begin to) overcome their individual hangups, creating a truly peaceful happy ending. Isaki is unable to accept this, as it means no more action and excitement (just quiet, peaceful happiness... [[{{Foreshadowing}} or]] [[StrawNihilist something else?]]). As such, she goes off the deep end into ItAmusedMe territory and her [[TheGadfly Gadfly]] tendencies become outright {{Troll}}ing as she goes further and further chasing cheap laughs/thrills and trying to start fights. This is only worsened by the other Puella Magi turning away from her in response, leading to a vicious cycle. Eventually, her trolling pushes Homura over the edge, resulting in a cataclysm which nearly destroys Madoka's Sanctuary.

While her sincere apologies are accepted, the other Puella Magi are unnerved by her new self, which is visibly no longer human, and she realizes their friendship can never be what it once was; she'll never be able to see eye-to-eye with them again. In the same moment, she realizes she can use her newfound power to leave the Sanctuary, and travel between worlds and across dimensions. She leaves, becoming a multiversal pilgrim with no destination in mind.

[[spoiler: Originally, she was going to be a Befriending-obsessed lunatic, being at least a LaughablyEvil parody of fanon portrayals. However, that somehow fell by the wayside and she just started talking Metatron BS in ''entirely'' too serious a tone.]]

[[spoiler: I eventually realized all these reasons she was a shit character, as well as the fact that she was basically inducing DarknessInducedAudienceApathy in ''me'', and realized that I wasn't exactly gonna enjoy myself roleplaying if I had to be emotionally detached just to ''play my own damn character'', and basically abandoned the character at that point.]]

[[spoiler: I also came up with a fairly detailed final "death" and BittersweetEnding for her, which I still intend to write someday:]]

[[spoiler: Basically, she fights Isaki and gets pwned when Madoka protects Isaki against Hypernova Breaker, attacks her directly, and empowers Isaki. She is then taken away by Madoka in a ''very'' rare exception.]]

'''Non-ShipTease Relationships'''

I don't care what others think of me, and I'll always say what I think. (I often used to give my opinion when it wasn't wanted, but that's a habit I'm toning down.) However, I always (try to) state my opinions ''as opinions'' and respectfully accept others' opinions. (I've also learned to take all the advice I can get, and then make up my own mind about it; I'll ''take'' it, but may or may not actually ''follow'' it.) If you want to be my friend, I'll reciprocate. If you don't, or want to be an ass, I don't care. [[TheGadfly I'll cheerfully reciprocate.]]

'''ShipTease'd Relationships'''

Madoka: Madoka is, and acts like, a genuine Ingenue, getting easily flustered... but there ''are'' those strange smiles between her and Mami. Furthermore, her and Homura understandably spend a lot of time alone with each other...

Homura: Aside from spending time with Madoka, Homura seemingly doesn't care. She's had enough. Madoka's safe, she's won, and her and Madoka have all the time in the world now. However, she also sometimes seems to find the whole thing rather amusing, and seems to enjoy subtly playing ShipperOnDeck.

Mami: Mami is suspiciously quick to shut Kyoko up whenever she mentions any of the things she's supposedly done with her. She has also - through various other incidents - gained a reputation as a CovertPervert, and the other Puella Magi seem to fear her and her ribbons for ''some reason''. Finally, she may or may not have nearly admitted to having ambitions of starting a harem recently.

Kyoko: Kyoko often brags about her "escapades" with Mami, but also seems rather protective of Sayaka - something she's quick to deny or find an excuse for. However, the other Puella Magi are also quick to comment on her several Arena encounters with Archer in a "wink wink, nudge nudge" kind of way - something which she also reacts rather strongly to.

Sayaka: Over Kyosuke, but still straight.

Isaki: Isaki isn't really mature enough for a real relationship with anyone. Her main goal is to have fun and enjoy life. (She also got nailed with Zero!Lancer's curse at one point, but she's over it now unless she sees him again.)
