Magic.

One would think it simply doesn’t exist. After all, there’s not much room for that kind of superstition these days, now is there? However, magic is far, far more then a superstition. It’s real. Very real. Real enough to both be a defense against evil, and a weapon for it.

Sakurasaki city has always had some areas that evoke older times, quaint locations where many of the city’s shrines are located. Recently, strange things have happened in this areas. Odd noises in the night, and unexplained acts of what could possibly be vandalism. But what could it mean? Many areas of the city seem wholly unaffected, while these nostalgic areas almost seem to be under attack by some strange, invisible force.

Hey, hearing about this...don't you think it’s sad? Seeing how the place you were born in, the cradle in which you grew up in is now being destroyed by some invisible hand? If your heart cries at seeing this places of old harmed and if you are brave enough to step forward you might be able to make a difference.

This is your city. The place made up by the hopes and dreams of everyone you know and might know within it, the place were your memories and everyday life lie. Don't you want to protect it?

Then walk underneath the shadow of the cherry blossoms and you might just find and lost way to defend your home from the forces of darkness.


Welcome everyone! To this our humble Magical Girl RP. Now that you have read our little intro to it, lets us discuss a couple of things about how this will work.

First the tone. While there will be comedic and lighthearted moments in this game (This is a Magical Girl RP after all) we seek for the plot to be taken seriously while following the tone of it's genre.

As for the character opportunities... Besides the Magical Girls there will be magical boys allowed, and the primary villains(dark magical girls) will also be playable. However, there will be limitations placed on them in order to maintain the feel of the genre the RP is based on.

For every Magical Girl character that is approved one spot for a Dark Magical Girl will become available. As for the Magical Boys, for every two accepted Magical Girls one Magical Boy spot will become available irregardless of Dark Magical Girl availability. Magical Boys do count as good Magical Girls for Dark Magical Girl availability purposes.

Finally, myself and my fellow Gms, daltar and tachikaze, will be playing plot-important NPC roles in addition to our standard characters, who will be elaborated on when the RP begins.

There is no limit on characters per player, though if we see someone with too many characters we might ask them to stop at our discretion.

Now here are the character sheets

Ooh, magical girl RP~? And one that's not going to be dark and edgy in some vain attempt to ape Madoka~? Count me in~!

Um... But I'll wait until someone else joins before I post my character. I kinda want to play a dark magical girl, see (seeing how my favourite magical girl ever is Pixy Misa and all), so, um... Yeah. But this looks like it should be most fun, ahah~

Meh, I'd rather not wait around for others to make a Dark MG. Besides, I might as well try something a little different.


  • Name: Alice Kennedy

  • Age: 12

  • Gender: Female

  • Appearance:
    • Alice stands at 4'6", with shoulder length black hair and light brown eyes. She tends to wear primarily blue or green 'civilian clothes'. She also requires reading glasses, though she doesn't whip them out until they're needed.

  • Magical Girl Costume and Staff Appearance:
    • Alice's MG costume is mainly red in colour. At it's base is what appears to be a red one-piece costume, which is then overlaid with crimson leggings and a red skirt reaching her knees. A scarlet jacket covers her torso, while red, fingerless gloves and dark shaded boots appear. Finally, Alice's hair gains a red highlight at the tips.
    • the staff appears to be made of ruby, being roughly three feet long. the tip is a sphere with a small flame within it. The flame also serves as an indicator: the brighter the flame, the more energy Alice has. If it disappears, Alice's power will revert for a while.

  • Personality:
    • Alice is somewhat meek, but friendly. She believes that everyone is a good person deep down, although this naivete can be quite troublesome. She aspires to be a hero to others when she grows up, like how she considers her father. In extreme circumstances, Alice's shyness and fears can give way to a more hot blooded side to herself, displaying bold confidence and finesse one wouldn't normally expect from her.

  • Brief History:
    • Six years ago her father, a fire fighter, perished in a blaze while attempting to save a family within. He succeeded, but was trapped inside when the building collapsed before he could exit. Since then, Alice has held a fear and hatred for fire, which can only be exacerbated with her powers.

  • Transformation Trinket:
    • A small sphere with an image of a flickering flame, a keep sake from her father, which is the only flame-related object she could tolerate. When she transforms, the sphere glows, and the staff forms within the light. The flame then burns for real within.

  • Abilities:
    • In her current state, Alice is unable to muster the will to cast her flame related powers around, but she has access to a few:
    • Firewall - A defensive spell where Alice surrounds herself in a wall of fire to repel physical attackers.
    • Purifying Pyro - 'Burn away the darkness of my enemies' soul!' The flames are use to wash over the enemy, leaving no physical marks. It's main use is to mess with the opponent's head.


I'm aware we don't start with the powers, just putting up her starting list there.

Damnit, this is actually kinda tempting. However, I have way too many RPs on my plate as it is.

Also, the only MG show I'm familiar with is MGLN, so any character of mine is going to look and fight like a gundam in a girl's body tongue

I'll keep an eye on this and see how fast things go before I decide on joining.

Alright Roxas, Alice looks pretty good to me. She has my seal of approval so you can consider her accepted unless Anno or tachi have some issues to bring up.

That would mean that we have a slot open for a Dark Magical Girl now.

#10: Aug 17th 2011 at 6:58:42 AM

Ah, screw it. I had an idea for a character, so I may as well post them up:

Name: Toshiko Kato

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Appearance: Blue-black neck-length hair, blue eyes. Taller than average, with a slim athletic build.

Magical Girl Costume and Staff Appearance:

  • Her costume is primarily black, blue and light grey. It is based around a tight black-and-blue under-layer, which covers her from feet to neck but leaves her arms bare. Over the top of this is a long grey coat with a high collar and short sleeves, with black-bordered blue panels along the collar and shoulders. This coat falls below the knees and has a split up the back like a duster. It is worn open, but is held tight against her chest by a harness with straps above and below her breasts, and by a belt. She wears black fingerless gloves, black boots, and a grey bandana around her forehead (complete with two trailing ends).
  • Her staff is a long grey pole, with a slightly thicker section at either end. These twin heads consist of grey cylinders with four slits spaced equally around their circumference, through which a blue crystal rod can be seen.

Personality: Toshiko is relaxed and confidant, seemingly unflappable and cool under pressure. She has a tendency to take others under her wing, has strong protective instincts and a vast store of patience. She also has a slight stubborn streak, and a dislike for laziness or slacking.

Brief History: Tosh has had a pretty unremarkable life so far. She was born and raised in Sakurasaki, the eldest of three children. This, coupled with a huge extended family, prompted Toshiko to learn to play the third parent at an early age. She became the go-to girl for help among the younger generation of her family. Her parents run a family-owned grocery store made sure to instil a sense of responsibility and work ethic in their eldest daughter, and hoped that she might carry on the family business. However, Tosh found that it was teaching her young brothers and cousins that gave her a feeling of accomplishment, and hopes to become a PE teacher or professional coach. As is, she coaches a junior high school basketball team in her spare time.

Transformation Trinket: A silver shield brooch, almost like a policeman’s badge, with ornate engravings on its surface. When she transforms, this comes to rest on her upper chest, attached to a harness strap.

Abilities: Toshiko mainly fights with her staff as a melee weapon, and can direct her magic to reinforce and strengthen these blows. She can also unleash short-ranged energy blasts and shock-waves with the crystals at either end. She can produce magical shields (by spinning her staff), but is lousy at healing and anything long-ranged.

Hopefully her fighting style and appearance mesh with the theme/mechanics of the world.

Good, good, I like her style Gaunt.

I don't think there will be any problems with her powers or costume. For now, know that she has my seal of approval.

Lets see if the other G Ms agree I believe we now have a slot open for a Magical Boy.

Though daltar's already done the approving, I just figured I'd throw my two cents in: Double approved for both of 'em.

And there's not an issue with a Nanoha-esque fighting style, varied fighting styles for the characters are quite welcome.

#13: Aug 17th 2011 at 11:24:37 AM

Mmmm. Okays, uh... I think I might have made her backstory a little too dark for this game. >.< If that's the case, let me know and I'll try something else. Also, her abilities are... Something I'm not so sure about. I kinda wanted to give her void-based powers, but that was the best I could come up with without giving her something overpowered. >.< Oh well, here goes...

  • Name: Rei Nanashi
  • Age: 13
  • Gender: Female
  • Appearance: Rei is slightly below average height for her age, and is very thin and frail looking. She's albino, her snow white hair being styled into a simple bobcut. Her clothes are always incredibly plain, and are often several sizes too big.
  • Dark Magical Girl/Boy Costume and Staff Appearance:
    • Costume: It kinda feels like I'm cheating here, but this is pretty much what it looks like.
    • Staff: Rei uses her mirror as her staff. It looks almost the same as it does whilst she's untransformed, except the face now constantly shows some inky black void.
  • Personality: Rei shows very little emotion, and never smiles. Due to her experiences, she's convinced herself that she has no worth, and that the world is a pointless, cruel place that exists only to torture it's inhabitants until they finally give in and die. She never raises her voice, speaking only in a hushed monotone. She would honestly like to make the world a better place, but she doesn't see how that could even be possible.
  • Brief History: Rei's childhood has not been an especially happy one. Her father died soon after she was born, and in her grief her mother fell into insanity, convinced that her red eyed, white haired daughter was some kind of demon who had cursed the family and caused her husband's death. For years, Rei was treated with neglect, and the few times her mother noticed her were the times when she put her under horrific abuse to punish her for her inherent wickedness, constantly belittling the girl as she did so and telling her over and over again that she was nothing, that no-one would ever care for her and that she was only being kept alive to prolong the suffering she had to endure for being a disgusting, cursed girl. Eventually, the social services caught on to this and moved Rei away to a foster home, but by then the damage was already done, and the young girl was left a broken, empty shell of a person.
  • Transformation Trinket: A simple hand mirror. The mirror has several large cracks running across its face. The handle is made of cheap white plastic.
  • Abilities: Non-magical people don't register Rei's existence whilst she's transformed. They can see her, but they somehow just can't seem to notice her or her activities unless she directly interacts with them, and even then they don't ever seem to notice anything strange about her, and quickly forget she was ever there. By pointing her mirror at others, she can drain their life force, causing them to grow weaker and weaker until eventually their body gives up and they die (at least, in theory; she's never actually used it long enough to kill someone before). By pointing it at an inanimate object, however, she can simply will said object out of existence. This only seems to work on mundane items, however, and won't affect things that are magical in nature.

Ugh, actually, I think I might change her abilities. Looking back on them, the first one noted is the only one I'm actually happy with. Maybe I should think over this a bit more, but... Gah, giving her void based powers is kind of dumb, really. Maybe I should try something else...

Um... If I can think of something better before any of the G Ms see her, then I guess I'll edit that in instead. If not... Um... I'll see if I might be able to work that power set. That is, if she's approved, ahah. Kinda having second thoughts about her, as she seems maybe a little too dark for this. >.< Gah, sorry, I'm worrying too much about little things.

Stuff it; I'm going to post what I've got, and finish it later.

  • Name: Kei Sabakura
  • Age: 15
  • Gender: Female
  • Appearance: Short, slight, short reddish-brown hair, green eyes. (IMAGE)
  • Magical Girl Costume and Staff Appearance:
    • Outfit: A short sleeveless yellow dress over a black turtleneck t-shirt and cycle shorts, pale-blue thigh-high socks and blue shoes. A yellow cloak that resembles a pair of folded wings, particularly with the silver-blue feather pattern embroidered into it, is draped over her shoulders. She's also wearing a pair of blue, black and yellow fingerless gloves.
    • Staff: Kei's staff is golden-yellow with a sky blue pattern on its surface. It is also slightly curved, reflecting her use of it more as a bow than a melee weapon.
  • Personality: Kei is a very quiet girl, preferring not to interact with people she doesn't know. That said, even when she does speak, she's reluctant to voice opinions and may be easily dominated by other people in a conversation.
  • Brief History: Kei's a relative outsider; her family only moved into Sakurasaki a few months ago, and she's been hesitant to connect with anyone at school, both out of fear of getting hurt and because she always seems to have her head in the clouds.
  • Transformation Trinket: A pale blue crystal set in a sliver bracelet with a pair of wings engraved on it.
  • Abilities: Kei primarily fights using arrows of magic energy generated by using her staff like a bow. Beyond that, her skills with healing and barrier magic are decidedly average or below.

Eheh, I guess if Gaunt as time to sign up I might as well try... Tell me if this is overpowered and I'll edit. I'm just a little bit in love with the idea of a tiny girl with a missile launcher strapped to her arm.

  • Name: Alouette Bracken
  • Age: 10
  • Gender: Female
  • Appearance: Extremely short even for her age, Alouette has long, black hair and grey eyes. She has a rather stubborn expression, and tends to dress in rather scruffy clothing.
  • Magical Girl Costume and Staff Appearance: When she transforms, Alouette gains a long, dark blue coat that she wears over a plain black shirt, vest and pair of trousers. Oh, with boots. Her staff is equally modern-looking; it appears to be made of steel, and has a round blue light glowing at the top of it in a manner reminiscent of a computer screen.
  • Personality: Alouette is insolent, mischievous and more than a little lazy, barely working in class and treating her life as though it is a game. Although she is more than happy to beat someone up hand-to-hand, she still hesitates at the thought of causing actual, lasting damage to people or property, and this unwillingness somewhat circumvents her use of her most powerful weapon.
  • Brief History: The youngest member of a large family, Alouette has always had to act in a loud and assertive manner to get what she wants; the only reason she stands any sort of chance in a normal fight is because she has grown up using underhand tactics to fend off her siblings and cousins. She can come across as rather bratty at times, but she really does try to be good and make her extended family proud of her. She just fails. A lot.
  • Transformation Trinket: A small, blue hammer that she wears on a pendant around her neck.
  • Abilities: In her magical girl form, she has what looks like a wrist guard strapped to her arm. At will, this wrist guard can mutate into an improbably large missile launcher, which she uses as a last resort when attacking (last resort, since it causes quite a bit of damage, and she still has to escape from her environment afterwards.) In addition, she can fire smaller beams from the wrist guard at will, and cast spells that will increase the strength, speed and endurance of herself and/or an ally; however, she does not have any healing abilities at all, and relies instead on her excellent defence to keep her alive in battle.
