4	In 2010 a group of heroes foiled the attempted conquest of Earth by an invading race of lizard like humanoids known as the Layar. Thanks to the efforts of the Northsdale Five, lead by a young girl named Maria Ryan, the Layar were forced to retreat. Two years later a diplomatic escort from Layar arrived on Earth to open a peace treaty with our Planet, in exchange for some of our resources, we were provided with the means to explore space. It is now 2016, and the human race has colonized Mars, Europa, and Titan, providing more space for the Human race to grow and expand. The story begins as several people with supernatural abilities are kidnapped by the Layar.

19	* GunsAkimbo: Tori’s primary weapons are dual pistols, both for normal shooting and magically enhanced shots.
20	* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Tori tends to go rather light on the clothing. Social conventions were not a part of her education. She does cover up when going somewhere cold.

27	* RegeneratingHealth: Melinda/Skyflame has an ability that does this.
28	* {{Retcon}}: Due to a major change in the rule system- particularly the rule that characters must transform to attack and use abilities - several characters from the opening and shortly after had to be changed entirely to fit the new system. Some players decided to make completely new characters, rather than try to find a way to make their original viable.
29	* SpellCrafting: All spells in the new system are created by spending points for different effects and traits, with the amount of points to spend based on the rank of the spell and drawbacks.
30	* SpiritualSuccessor: To Rise of the Magical Girls.
31	* TransformationTrinket: One of the possible methods of transformation.
