Name: Hayato Mizushima
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance: Black Hair cut short and meticulously styled, usually seen wearing a white buisness shirt and grey slacks, Slightly taller than average, sleek fullframe glasses.
Dark Magical Boy Costume and Staff Appearance: Black Steel with a Yellow Griffon Chest plate and Armour Bracers. A Black Tunic and Pants. The Staff looks like a Gladius.
Personality: Hayato tries his best to be a proper western gentleman, fanboying over everything European he can get his hands on. He's a proud member of the fencing team and He tends to be a bit oblivious to the world around him when geeking out but he does genuinely mean well.
Brief History: Left to grow up mostly on his own by his somewhat neglectful parents, Hayato grew up surrounded by western culture and grew enamoured by the loyalty and nobility of Knights. Years of moving around and little attention from his parents has left Hayato rather awkward. When the news came that they died in a car crash, it was a month before he actually believed it. Until then he was convinced that they had simply extended their vacation and chose not to tell him. Part of him still hopes it is true. However, for the time being he has settled in with his uncle. He spends a great deal of time reading and dreaming of escaping to a time where loyalty and love meant something more.
Transformation Trinket: A foil.
Abilities:
Shadow Of Excalibur/White Hilt: Hayato can conceal himself in shadow becoming near impossible to see.
Angel of Albion/Hard Lightning: Hayato's staff can temporarily blind opponents with a flash of light when drawn.
Slayer: Hayato's staff can extend at the hilt rapidly, allowing him to lauch and retract his staff as an way to attack over long distance. This is limited by his ability to hold and control the staff, keeping 10 meters as roughly the maximum range.
Knight of the Sun/Face of the Morn: Hayato's physical strenght increases in the light but decreases in the dark. While cloaked under the White Hilt or in a room without any light, he is at a thid of his strenght, however for the couple of seconds after drawing his blade his strength is trippled. He's also at an advantage in a well lit room and in broad daylight.

Name: Hagane Fusen
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Appearance: Short black hair neatly trimmed to shoulder length with the bangs cut to be out of her face. Her skin is slightly pale and her eyes are bright green. She usually wears a white button up short sleeved shirt and black skirt.
Dark Magical Girl Costume and Staff Appearance: A dark blue vest over a white long sleeved shirt and a long dark blue skirt. She has black arm and shin guards similar to that of samurai. She usually wears a blue Oni mask along with a cowl to hide her face. She wears a Katana on her waist, black sheathe with a black and red hilt.
Personality: Hagane can best be described as serious. No one has ever seen her joke around or display any sort of extreme emotions one way or the other. She is very honor driven, frowning on rude or disgraceful acts. From time to time Hagane has been known to appreciate the beauty of nature. She is also known to not like people.
Brief History: Hagane never got to know her parents. They vanished before she could remember anything. The only thing she had of theirs was a silver heart-shaped locket. She was raised by her grandmother and grandfather, who told her that her parents did lover her, but just weren't able to. She didn't believe it though, she thought they didn't want her and it ate at her a bit. Her grandfather ran a kendo dojo that she was allowed to attend. Hagane was a natural at it, able to best some students couple of years ahead of her. One problem she had though was that she tended to be a bit too rough. Sometimes she would seriously injure the other students, which resulted in getting scolded by her grandfather. One day she had enough and challenged her grandfather to a match. He expected to knock some sense into her with the match, but it didn't exactly go as planned. Distracted by his wife, along with a bit of fowl play by Hagane, resulted in her grandfather being hospitalized. This did smack some sense into the girl, causing her to stop her rash and angry nature, but it changed her even further then that. She soon grew despondent and distant, not willing to forgive herself for what she did yet. She also started to see the things she hated in herself in everyone else. She didn't like what she saw, causing her to close herself off even more.
Transformation Trinket: The silver heart-shaped locket, wrapped around the end of her sheathe. Cold from rarely being touched and still unable to be unlocked to this day.
Abilities: Other then her skill with a sword, Hagane possesses blinding speed in short bursts. Whether it is swinging her blade or sprinting she is very fast. She can move so fast it looks like she teleports sometimes. Along with that she is able to send slicing arcs of energy through the air with a swing of her sword.

Unfortunately Faux took the last spot and I was aiming to have one male character as well. It's probably better off going with a girl...
Seriously, I was only going for a guy because it makes his Blessed with Suck trait funnier, I'm surprised how many boys showed up...

Some people say I'm lazy. It's hard to disagree.I think we're at the point where making it 1 for 1 from this point on (which is to say 11 magical girls to 6 magical boys, 12 to 7, etc) probably wouldn't be too much of a problem. But that's just my opinion.
@Revolver: That'd be fine with me. Not sure about the others.
@Oni-Lord: Sorry to say this, but I'm kinda out of it at the moment, so some of that text is kinda blurring together for me. I guess I'll have to leave it to daltar or Anno to give your character the stamp of approval.
Burn up, hurricane of justice!Well, I might as well post my magical boy character now even if it will take a while to get a slot (a bit too tired to write for the Dark Magical Girl). Just point out the flaws and overpowered stuff and I'll fix them.
Name: Tom Sanford
Age: 10
Gender: Male
Appearance: Tom is slightly taller than most kids his age with Ambiguously Brown skin, Brown Eyes and short and neat black hair. Tends to wear a t-shirt, shorts and sandals.
Magical Girl/Boy Costume and Staff Appearance:
Tom has two forms and this place is the best place I can describe the latter in depth, so here I go...
In Tom’s “magical boy” form, he wears a black martial arts gi with a Martial Arts Headband, Fingerless Gloves and a belt all the colour red. He is also wearing sandals similar to the ones he usually wears . His hair turns red and spiky and his eyes become red as well. Tom’s staff are metallic nunchucks connected by chain.
Tom’s second form is that of a Ridiculously Cute Critter. His body become similar to a puppy’s with floppy ears like a Labrador, big blue eyes, a fox-like tail and a noticeable lack of claws. Tom gets an orange fur coat and becomes a very, very light weight. Although the front paws have decent dexterity and it is possible for him to stand on two legs, it's much more comfortable standing and walking on all fours.
Personality: Tom is nice and relaxed...until one of his triggers of enthusiasm goes off, causing to get energetic about the topic. These triggers include animation, comics, games, science, history and general trivia. Surprisingly, Tom’s love of animals is not a trigger and tends to stay calm about the subject.
Dislikes being seen as cute! Unfortunately, in his critter form, Tom tends to unconsciously do cute things.
Brief History: Tom comes from rich family with two sisters, Lisa (13) and Zoey (6). His parents came from northern Australia and moved Sakurasaki a short time after Lisa was born due to business oppotunities. He rarely sees his parents on weekdays but he feels the weekends more than make up for it (even if that time can sometimes be less than that of weekdays). His tendency to become enthused about many things stems from his several gifts and being recommended media from his older sister.
Transformation Trinket: A paw-shaped accessory attached to his keychain.
Abilities: Tom’s abilities are quite different in his two forms...
As a magical boy, Tom has no ranged attacks and can’t use healing or purification magic but he is a Lightning Bruiser. Dangerous in melee, able to generate strong barriers for himself, close the gap between him and his opponents quickly and is quite the dodger.
As a critter, Tom becomes decent at healing and purification and quite the Barrier Warrior, being able to not only create strong barriers for himself and his allies but strengthen barriers already there. However, this form lacks any ability to attack. It is impossible to talk with his mouth in critter form but being able project his own voice makes up for it.
It should be noted while it’s easy for Tom to go from magical boy to critter (and frequently involuntary), going from a critter to a magical boy is on the difficult side and (he can’t even access his magical boy form in the beginning of the RP).
Even when not transformed, Tom has a supernatural affinity with animals...sometimes seeming like he is communicating with them.

Some people say I'm lazy. It's hard to disagree.Oni-lord: Accepted.
Revolver: I don't see a problem with that.
JustaUsername: Hmm... considering that you dicussed this character with me beforehand, I'm going to go ahead and accept. That said, this is probably a one-time bending of the rules, so people, don't go expecting it to happen again.
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."Working on abilities still, but I'm headed on vacation shortly. It'll probably be better to wait until tomorrow when I'm there so I can see how much internet I get. Worst case his intro is delayed by a week.
Presently having trouble with abilities. Trying to make him Arthurian based, particularly Gawain who has a strong Sun theme. Got badass names for abilities but not sure on abilities. Presently the main runners are:
Shadow of Excalibur/White Hilt: Hayato can conceal himself in shadow becoming near impossible to see.
Angel of Albion/Cut Steel: Hayato's staff can temporarily blind opponents with a flash of light when drawn.
Slayer: Hayato's staff can extend at the hilt rapidly, allowing him to lauch and retract his staff as an way to attack over long distance. This is limited by his ability to hold and control the staff, keeping 10 meters as roughly the maximum range.
I'd like to trade out one [or two if two is the hard limit for abilities] of these for something more Sun themed, but I've no idea how to pull the sun into it.
Right then, here goes nothing.
Name: Marcel Durand
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: Tall and a little on the lean side. Dark brown hair that goes down to his neck, and brown eyes, he's slightly tanned. Wears a blue jacket with the sleeves rolled up, a white shirt under that, and black pants.
Magical Boy and Staff Appearance: His costume is a black, military-style outfit with a yellow trim on the jacket. A yellow fleur-de-lis is on the upper part of his sleeves. He uses a straight sabre with one of it's edges having a rifle-like barrel, the hilt is blue and glows when using magic.
Personality: Marcel is very laid-back, he's the type to sometimes drop what he's doing and take the time to relax. At times he can be a little boastful, or won't take things as seriously as he should. But, he's always one to keep his cool and can be very capable if he puts his mind to it.
Brief History: He was born in Sakurasaki while the rest of his family, as his name shows, were foreigners, Marcel himself being the third generation to do so. He's an only child, and most of his family are living in his native country, barring his mother and grandparents. His dad disappeared when he was still very young, though he hasn't really been bothered by it. True to his nature, his life hasn't been the most exciting, he's had a very peaceful life, in other words it's perfect for him.
Transformation Trinket: A silver emblem in an odd, flowing design that's worn on a chain. He has to take it off when he transforms, it changes into his sabre. The design can be seen on the hand guard.
Abilities: His powers contrast his personality, he uses lighting magic. It can be fired in bursts or spread in a wave depending on how he's attacking with his sabre. He's strictly a mid range-close combat fighter, his sabre's barrel being used to concentrate his magic, with it's sole long-ranged attack being weak "bullets". He can create a barrier that can be discharged in a short radius, and can enhance his sabre into a greatsword, which trades it's speed for power.
There we go, hopefully I didn't screw anything up. So, provided everything is clear, I'll just wait until I'm able to post.
Sorry, I was delayed. What spaces are free right now?
Join us in our quest to play all RPG video games! Moving on to disc 2 of Grandia!And Abilities are up. Might consider a less conspicuous transforming token, but whatever works. Felt nice and symbolic and just dark enough. Either something in a similar vein but smaller [a Dagger] or inconspicuous [Something like archiac and European like a pocketwatch] would probably be better options.
Four Named Abilities most of which have alternate names might be pushing, though I could cut slayer and keep the staff a staff. I feel Knight of Sun adds a bit of an interesting twist on his combat style and wierd dynamic to his abilities.
Anything else to add or critique would be welcome.

My interest is piqued, but I don't know if I can handle anymore RP's due to school starting soon. I'll watch it for now and see if I want to join. (I'll Probably be a regular MG)
