Mahou Shoujo Troper Magica

^You're welcome to submit a profile, though I'm currently not accepting new characters. If you'd like, I can help you tweak your profile, as well. God knows I do enough of that as it is.

I can think about that.

I have some cracktacular ideas -_-'

Why hide them from us then?

Throw them into the fires of creation so we can mold it in the fire, take it out then hammer your concept into something far superior then what originally came in.

Somehow, bouncing ideas around always seems to work for me and helps me make create greater things then what I started with. Yasuko's proof of that (in my book at least, mostly bouncing it around with Red)

^You haven't exactly been throwing your ideas out in public either, Nick, so take it easy there. =)

I would say "get in line", but I don't want to sound like a jackass.

Do you have any idea when you'll be accepting new characters again?

There should be an open spot, come to think of it, now that Maxy has dropped out...

Deadbeat, Beniko looks good to me. Do you have any plans for integration?

Wait, maxy's dropped out?

WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED OF THIS ;_;

Wait, not Maxy. Moerin.

Can I join when there's an open space?

You're certainly welcome to submit an application! If you'd like, you can even submit now; we'd be glad to help you work things out.

Sorry, I stopped following this thread. That and I'm not at my desk right now.

I don't have any specific plans for his/her integration just yet.

Finished my profile, going to make changes to it if needed.

Hm... not bad, but I don't see any connection between her wish and her power. The circumstances in which the wish is made has nothing to do with the resultant power; if it did, Mami's special power would be tossing cars at people, not her ribbons.

is that better?

Can't believe I didn't think of that in the first place...

That reads more like cancellation or negation to me. I actually don't see anything wrong with a simple 'I wish to be able to control fire' - that would let her escape the burning building, as well as give her... well... control over fire.

Control over fire, huh...? On one hand, the wish seems overly simplistic; it doesn't feel very Madoka-ish. On the other, it's still a very plausible wish, and an in-universe upside is that there is pretty much no way you can make something that straightforward backfire on you. :3c

Also, at one point I read her name as Mikuni Okonomiyaki, which means I need to stop posting when I just wake up.

Nice Bilingual Bonus, incidentally.

What do you think the bilingual bonus is? I was using Google translate so I'm not too sure I didn't end up with a different one then I intended.

'Okubyou na' means 'cowardly'. Odd last name, though.

I couldn't find a normal sounding name I liked, so I just decided to type traits I was giving my character into a English to Japanese translator and went with the least weird sounding result.

Once again, I thank you for keeping my spot.

Time to submit my girl. Again for the last time.

• Name: Yasuko Yuri
• City: that new city, since everyone calls it that.
• Age: 16 (contacted a little less then a month ago)
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: Medium length blond hair, neatly combed. She usually dresses prim and proper and always tries to look her best. Currently it's all a mess.

• Personality: Introverted and has a slight Inferiority Complex, Yasuko is somewhat shy and usually reserved in her actions. Has a strong moral compass and dutifully follows it and will self-sacrifice if the situation calls for it. Deep down, she gets scared easily.
  She's in the beginning stages of Knight in Sour Armor. She does realize what type of life she's thrown herself into, but feels that it was the right thing to do even if she must sacrifice myself for the sake of the universe. (as Kyubey said, "If you want to die for the sake of the universe, just call us." In her case, she jumped at it.)

• Sexuality: Bisexual. Definitely one stage above closet pervert and two stages below Anything That Moves. She lusts after both sexes equally
• Faith: Christianity
• Nationality: Unknown. Half Asian at least, she looks somewhat Asian.
• Backstory: Abandoned as a pup, he was found by Murial After giving birth to Yasuko, Yasuko's mother abandoned her daughter infront of a hospital inside japan. As the parents could not be found, Yasuko went into foster care and was adopted by a Japanese couple when she was 6 months. She's been a part of their family since. Her father is a always busy Japanese businessman and her mother is...(I haven't come up with anything) a loving mother. The couple have been having much trouble conceiving, and in the end they adopted Yasuko. She picked up a guitar at a young age and fell in love with it. Against what her father would have wanted, Yasuko's goal in life is to become a musician, and the best guitarist ever.
  But none of that matters anymore. She became a magical girl, and now knows her past life might as well be thrown out. She's trapped in a world of monsters, both literal and figuratively...
  For reasons unknown, Yasuko has literally left that life behind. Yasuko has ran away from her home, heading towards this coastal ward. She's brought a backpack with some of her old possessions, leaving everything else behind.

Magical Girl

• Wish: “I wish those trains would freeze and stop!”
• Wish backstory: Kyubey noticed her and like the others, presented itself to her and made his usual offer. She was hesitant on making a wish at first before, not sure if she wanted to enter into such a dangerous world. They had time to talk, and Kyubey told her about the heat death of the universe, and how his actions were acting to prevent it. This is what sold her.
  The next day Kyubey and her had another chat, with Kyubey leading the way, eventually stopping a block away from one of those above the streets train-rail roads. Yasuko told Kyubey about how she wasn't sure what she was going to wish for. It was around this time Yasuko saw a incident very close to happening. One train couldn't stop and was going to hit someting or derail of the train-way. Seeing the incident, and seeing how she had the power to save them, she made her wish to save them. “I wish the trains would freeze!”. The train instantly froze, crystals consuming it and the track. Some people experienced minor whiplash (one critically who wasn't sitting down). but regardless, all one hundred and three people on both trains were saved.
• Wish derived special ability: Crystal creation. She has the power to create crystals. A basic application of this power is to make crystals, or barriers made of crystals. She can also crystallize her staff to make it into a another type of weapon.
  Crystals are not the strongest material and they don't take too much break if they are shoddily made. The more magic she pumps into it and the better her focus, the more sturdy her crystals will be and the tougher they are to break. One can tell easily with how clear the crystals are.
• Weapon: Staff. She can create a staff of varying sizes, including mini-sticks and slightly thick staffs. With her crystal creation, she can turn this into another type of weapon (like making a scythe edge on her staff or creating a spike ontop to make a improv speak for example.). She doesn't realize she can combine this and her staff yet.
• Magical Girl Costume: Pending. She has a light blue (stereotype MG) short skirt. (ok, I'm just tired. I'll finish this tomorrow)
• Other: She knows that magical girls's souls are inside soul gems. Unlike others, she actually feels a bit...glad about it. She also knows about the Heat-death of the universe and how to turn off her body's pain/feeling.
• Fighting skill: Poor. She has never truly been in any fights prior to becoming a magical girl.
• Notes: Game wise, Yasuko has “very high MP" in comparison to other girls. It just means she can go longer before running out. Yet, this also means she needs much more demons then most people to refill.
• Magic :It takes 17 normal demons to completely refill her soul gem / magic. (Logic: It takes ten for Homura, and she has low capacity. Does this sound high enough. It was 17-21 in my head)

That should be everything, minus the outfit. I'll come up with it when It's not 2 am black friday.

Actually I'm not. I started this as a copy paste. Heh-heh

HOMURA.

Alright, well... I don't think this is going to be a popular decision, but Yasuko is hereby accepted.

There are some ground rules that come with this decision. First off, for Nick:

You will not introduce plot elements without running them by me first. This includes new types of Demons.
Do me a favor and just don't mention Xia or evil Magical Girls. Ever.
Please be careful with your spelling.

Now, for others (Star, I'm looking at you):

If people have any issues with each other, run them by me first. I'll try to get things settled out in a manner that doesn't involve blowing up the discussion thread.
Related: Bickering will not be tolerated in discussion. If you have a well-thought-out and reasonable question about someone's backstory, characterization or latest post, by all means, bring it up; that's what the thread is for. I just don't want things to progress to a point where two or more of our players are refusing to speak to each other for a silly reason.

Questions? Concerns?

Are there any rules/other things people new to the RP need to know?
