Are we allowed to make a magical girl who serves Aversa?

I guess? I mean there's definitely nothing preventing you from doing it in the rules.

And Re: Familiars, Joslyn literally started conjuring hers as soon as her magic manifested, adding to her family's jealousy. Hooray!

Well it is mentioned in the lore that there are magical girls who do serve Aversa. Maybe I could make a magical girl that serves Aversa masquerading as one who serves the light goddess.

A SPY?????? I'M REPORTING U

SHPEE!

By the way, what exactly does Fell casting grant at the second level? The description doesn't offer anything really concrete.

We are getting a high number of Fell Casters, is it because Evil Is Cool?

I thought it was more a high risk high reward type thing. Though as I understand it, Holy and Fell are more power augmentative than straightforward offensive aren't they?

I'm planning on throwing Fell power into a good chunk of my spells. Massive edifices of Tarnished Brass and Green Flame are on the horizon for Eirika.

Name: Anya Mare Age: Real: 26, Apparent: 14 Origin: The City State of Hercine Species: Human

Appearance: Anya is rather petite with a slight figure. She has light brown hair and typically wears simple clothing.

• Personality: Anya, while introverted, can be sociable sometimes. People who meet her find her slightly abrasive. She certainly has a tsundere streak to her. Deep down she is lonely and seeks friendship. Her fell casting causes her to hear voices sometimes but it is rare due to the fact that she she is only slightly skilled in it. Her childhood caused her to be extremely cynical and yet has an idealistic side because she thinks she can fix the world. Her favorite activities are swimming and other water related sports. Her favorite foods are shellfish and pastries.

• Bio: Anya was born the youngest of three children to an upper middle class family in Hercine to a father captained an airship. She had a happy life until one day when her father’s airship crashed in a thunderstorm, killing him. Her mother ended up having to work from dawn util dusk to support her children. The pinnacle of her misfortunes came when plague swept Hercine killing her mother and siblings leaving Anya all alone in the world. While standing over the diseased corpses of her family, her mark appeared. She resolved to use her powers to fix the world that she viewed as so very flawed. She currently lives semi-anonymous in Hercine with only a few close friends knowing of her status as a magical girl.

Mark: Anya has a light blue mark on her upper left arm that takes the shape of a sea shell with in the middle of a complex circular geometrical pattern. When she uses her fell powers, the geometrical shape extends out over her arm.

Magical Girl Appearance: When activated, Anya appears in a dark blue ocean themed dress with sea shells in her hair which turns blue.

Physical Fortitude: 0 Agility and Dexterity: 1 Mental Fortitude: 3 Spiritual Fortitude: 3

Energy: 4 Cores

• Heart of the Girl (0 points)
• Heart of the Maiden (5 points): Grants the Magical Girl one additional Core.
• Heart of Flower (10 points): Grants the Magical Girl one additional Core.

Weapon: Anya summons a magical claymore (shortened slightly for her height) made of blue metal with ornate water themed engravings on the blade and decorations on the handle.

• Initiate Weapon (5 points)

Clothes and Armor: As mentioned before, Anya wears a dark blue ocean themed dress. The dress is waterproof and is enchanted not to inhibit swimming. The dress comes down in to just above her ankles.

• Armor - Magical Robes (5 points)

Elemental and Spiritual Masteries:

• Frost Touched (5 points)
• Water Master (30 points)

Familiar, Companions and Summons: Anya has a battle companion named Undo that resembled serpentine dragon and is made completely out of water. Its size changes based on how much water there is around him. His “skin” is very hard to penetrate and very little of him besides his head is actually solid. One of his fighting abilities is growing large enough to swallow an opponent and drown them. He can also spit water at high pressures among other things. He has a saddle that allows the rider to breathe underwater.

• Battle Companion (15 points)
• Battle Companion Improvement - Mount (10 points)

Character Info:

• Name: Malika
• Age: 22, physically 17 thanks to her Magical Girl Status
• Gender: Female
• Origin: Magstara, but as to avoid her sealing her family has escaped to Rallis
• Species: Snowsoul Genasi
• Appearance: Not the kind of expression you’d expect from a priestess.
• Personality:
  • Despite being a priestess, Malika is well known for being the kind of person to toy with others. Whether it’s teasing, pulling pranks, or other such forms of trickery, she is infamous for having committed them all. While they never get to the point where it seriously harms someone, they are generally solely for Malika’s enjoyment. When she is scheming something, she gains a rather sadistic expression on her face. In addition, she can be rather cold (read, tsundere) in relationships. That's mostly due to her elemental manifestation of snow (an Icesoul Genasi would probably be kuudere).
  • Malika, during battle, becomes serious and concentrates on purifying the world of demonic influence. As such, her normally toying-prone personality is replaced with one of a more stoic paladin or inquisitor, aiming to sear the world clean of evil. She is disgusted by users of fell magic, and even more so by Aversan cultists.
• Bio: Malika's family is originally from Magstara, like most if not all Genasi are. Snowsoul Genasi are especially rare, and only exist in the central cities of Magstara due to the oppressive heat barring them from living elsewhere. Specifically, they are a more recent breed, coming into existence once Watersoul Genasi moved into the artificial Oases. Malika escaped to Rellis the instant she manifested her Mark, which was at a young age. Her family was well aware of the sealings the Magstaran archmages did, and as such sought refuge in the theocracy of Rallis. There, Malika was accepted into the Church and quickly became a priestess. There, she trained herself in holy magic and in skills necessary to become a paladin. Her sheer devotion and labor brought about the creation of Idris and Enoch, her sword and shield, that she believes is a gift from Eleisa. Her skills in ice magic come from her heritage as a Snowsoul Genasi. As of recently, Malika has been manifesting an additional elemental state due to her constant proximity to Eleisan churches and religious rites, but it's still minor. The personality shift that accompanies a different Elemental Manifestation is made most apparent once she activates her Magical Girl state.

Magical Girl Info:

• Mark: Malika has her mark in the center of her back, at the epicenter of the energy lines that help to characterize her as a Genasi. It resembles some sort of cross between a snowflake and a celtic cross.
• Magical Girl Appearance: One picture and a second. Her entire body underneath her clothes (and around the nape of her neck) is covered in thin lines of energy. This is the visual representation of her Genasi heritage. As a note, her extremities are always pleasantly cool to the touch, no matter the surrounding temperature. If she stays still for too long, the ends of her hair start generating barely noticable snow flakes. These usually disappear soon after, just making a slight sparkling effect.
• Stats:
  • Physical: 2
  • Dexterity: 1
  • Mental: 1
  • Spiritual: 3
  • Perks: Extra Core

• Energy: Heart of the Maiden (2 Cores + 1 [5])
• Magical Weapon: Idris and Enoch, a Sword and Shield Set. They share a sort of “hivemind”, but are partially independent personalities. Both are rather philosophical, with Idris focusing on the material and Enoch focusing on the divine. She may, on the off occasion, consult them.
  • Witch Weapon (Weapon Lvl. 3 [35])
  • Bonus: Holy Damage (Lvl. 2), Fell Defense (Lvl. 1)
• Clothes and Armor:
  • Armored Robes (Armor Lvl. 2 [15])
• Warrior Skills:
  • None
• Elemental and Spiritual Masteries:
  • Blessed Adept (Holy Lvl. 2 [15])
  • Frost Blessed (Ice Lvl. 2 [15])
• Magical Disciplines:
  • Exorcist (Purification Lvl. 2 [15])
• Transportation and Movement:
  • None
• Familiar, Companions and Summons:
  • None

It was mentioned a while ago, but remember that the Marks are four point stars with little shapes around them, so make sure that you at least incorporate a star into them! (It's not that important, but still noteworthy.)

• Chiara: According to my calculations, you got 10 Star Points left over. Could be wrong. Is this meant to save up for further upgrade or would you like to spend them? Otherwise, the character seems to add up well, though you got little Spirit Score for going for both Light and Shadows. Then again they are the milder of the Spiritual Masteries, so you'll get a strain only when trying to use both at the same time.

• Robin: Approved! Nice build for a gunner with artillery and deception provided by Light.

• Bruna: Pre-Approved, stuff still got to be finished but it all adds up. We got quite a shielder here!

• Mira: Possible mistake with cores, you need to buy the previous ones. Only buying One Energy Improvement would... well, just give you one expensive one. Got to buy Heart of the Maiden 5 points, then Heart of the Flower for 10 and then Heart of the Tree for 20 to get to your four Cores. Aside from that, concept seems solid though you'll have to rebalance your points.

• Harkie: I put that field in because it feels incomplete without it ;-; Also completely approved, love the concept.

• Eirika: So Cersei with very High Int and Demonic Caster... Hmmm interesting build, does have instability of a Demonic Caster... hopefully she can be steered towards good. Approved.

• Kate: Kate and Scales are up for action! May the duo grow ever more!

• Lisha: Uhh... I'd modify a little the skirt chasing from such a young age, please. Either age her up a bit for those purposes or tone down her hedonism and pursuits. Also, energy is wrong, you'd have more of it, Spirit 4 awards you another Core, so with 15 points spent on Maiden and Flower as well as the one you start with you'd have 4. Swimming would go on movement and Perks list your perks from Stats.

• Dragon: Looking forward to your application! Hmmmg would have liked to see it before you took it down.

• Joslyn: All good, except for one point. Personal barrier requires Magical Robes to purchase, so you're 5 points short if you want that.

• darksidevoid: It kind of refers to how Fell Magic is indulging so greatly upon your own person and soul, so the more you invest in it the more apart from creation you become as you oppose the togetherness and all as one nature of Sacred Magic to become an individual existence.

• Corey: Go forth vigilante! Approved.

• Frigg: May your heart stay pure and your lightning and blade bring the world a new light. Approved!

• Anya: Sorry, no Aversa following Magical Girls allowed. At least not initially. Thus need to rework the character story. Magical Girl concept seems solid though, build wise.

• Malika: Hail Inquisitor! Unfortunately, Armored Robes require Magical Robes... so you're 5 points short on it. Likewise on purity, you could get level two with 15 points, not level 3. Got to rework those numbers but the character seems solid otherwise.

edited 8th Apr '15 11:22:16 PM by daltar

Five points short meaning I need 105? And if I take off MB then I have 5 left? So if that's the case, I'll drop that and give them Alteration.

Also, will there be a skype chat for this, for those who wish to participate?

edited 8th Apr '15 11:24:48 PM by mrminun

You'd need five more points to buy Magical Robes which you need in order to buy Magical Barrier. Together they go for 10 points, putting you over the limit. You could just get Magical Robes and wait for later to buy Magical Barrier, or could get points from elsewhere in the build to get both for 10 points.

Also, can make a skype chat... already there is some chat in a few chats in skype that were already around.

Well, it's fixed now. I should have the appearance out by tomorrow.

My bad, Daltar, I've fixed my post.

Switched to Level 2 Purity, Removed Flight to regain 5 points

Alright we in boys

Yeah, a Skype chat sounds like it would be a good idea. I've only had one other RP with a Skype chat here on TVT and it was one of the better concept RP I've ever been in.

Okay, I think I get the thing about Fell magic now. Interesting. It probably wouldn't cause a practitioner to lose the ability to enjoy life and Earthly pleasure, though, right? It almost seems like it would make one enjoy such things more, given the stated increase in intensity of emotions.

Ok, I fixed Anya's story. If serving Aversa does become allowed later in the RP, I think it would make for some nice character development as she gradually becomes more and more cynical about the world along with her fell powers growing that she goes over the despair event horizon and serves Aversa.

Bro, spoilers.

A few minimal changes later, Sara (pronounced "SHAR-uh") is back.

• Character Info: Pertaining your character.
  • Name: Sara Invogliare (Formerly Sara Gretseld). Increasingly known as The Black Lotus.
  • Age: Apparent 17, actually around 27
  • Gender: Female.
  • Origin: Parn
  • Species: Human. At least, she was at one point.
  • Appearance: Sara is well proportioned for her apparent age. Her hair is cut short, and a shade of blue dark enough to be mistaken for black (the dark aura actually helps matters a bit, since it gives onlookers something to compare the blue to). She typically dresses in surprisingly unassuming clothes, her typical outfit being a white shirt and a short black skirt, with black stockings, black boots, and a dark blue traveling cloak. She also has a pair of spectacles for reading. She wears at least one glove at all times, to hide the mark on her left hand, and around her neck is a black lace tied in a bow. She stands straight and upright, and appears oblivious to the ominous dark shine her magic casts about her.
  • Personality: Simultaneously mourning what she foolishly traded away and reveling in what she wisely obtained, Sara gives off an air of smiling melancholy. Anyone who has met Sara within the last four years has seen her cry at least once, usually with tears of sorrow and joy mixing upon her face at the sadness and beauty of the world she finds herself leaving behind. Sara is a true hedonist, pursuing pleasure not as a way of filling a void, but out of a zealous love of life. She speaks of the Goddess like a mother, and her time before realizing her magic's full power like a childhood; The Goddess gave her life, protected her, and gave her gifts she can never truly repay, but every child has to part from their parents. Her life was carefree and innocent, yet it was also a period of safety that eventually had to come to a close, however much she might have wished otherwise. Sara can no more reclaim the halcyon days of her youth than she can turn back the clock or stop the sun from setting. In her own way, though, Sara shows this distant, belated love through her hedonism— enjoying all that the world her mother gave her has to offer, and giving her all in every endeavor she undertakes, be it her studies, her fights, or her performances.
  • Bio: As Sara Gretseld, Sara was bookish and reserved, spending her days poring over massive volumes in libraries, on her way to becoming a reclusive scholar. When her mark appeared, very little changed- she took to wearing gloves and became slightly more adventurous. Sara's first steps into Fell magic were prompted by practicality; it was a talent that few Magical Girls chose to develop, meaning that while a situation that required Holy Magic was likely to be easily handled, a situation that required Fell Magic would be difficult to deal with. Having a Magical Girl capable of using it, therefore, seemed logical. As time went on, however, Sara became more affected by the magic. It forced her look at her own needs and desires, making her realize longings she'd never realized she'd had. Sara's horizons broadened drastically, expanding to include gunplay, singing, dancing, and traditional theater, culminating in a live performance in the capital, where she performed her own song, “Lotus Blooms,” to thunderous applause. Thus, she realized the cruelest irony of her new-found power; that this increasing separation from the world was the very thing that made her appreciate it, just in time for it to begin slipping through her fingers. Now living as a wanderer, giving performances where she can, Sara finds it harder and harder to maintain her usual state of cheerful depression, slowly being dragged towards despair. Sara prefers to go only by her given name, but when necessary, she has taken to giving a false last name. The pain caused by identifying herself by her old surname is too great for even Sara to bear.
• Magical Girl Info: Pertaining to their Magical Girl talents.
  • Mark: Sara's magic mark appeared upon the back of her left hand. Though her tattoo has undergone many transformations, it seems to have settled for now upon a heart, with a lattice of cracks running through it.
  • Magical Girl Appearance: Sara's Magical Girl Outfit reflects her being. Her outfit consists of a thigh-length purple dress with long, purple gloves up to the middle of her upper arms, with a lavender corset over the bodice, and black-and-purple striped thigh-high socks, along with black boots. Behind her flows a short cape, purple on the outside and lavender on the inside, and topping her outfit off is the archetypal wide-brimmed, pointed hat, and around the edges of her gloves and socks are frills of lavender lace.

Going to preempt the inevitable here, I won't have time for a proper RP as of now, so I'm dropping my application. I seem to like signing up for RP more than actually playing them, go figure.

Daltar, I accidentally put down 'Arms of the Acolyte' as 5 points instead of 15 points. I'll fix that now.
