You are Sorcerer!
Part 1: Into the City




This is you. For inexplicable reasons of mysterious mystery, you have VAST MAGICKAL POWERS of a sort. Really, you can only control one thematically appropriate aspect of nature; good thing you always think of yourself as having no motifs when you forget what powers you have!

Unfortunately, with great power comes great chance of being mauled to death by monsters. Your transmundane abilities have opened your third eye, your Sight. Now that you're aware of the AWE-INSPIRING MAGICKAL NATURE OF THE UNIVERSE, the nasty denizens of this fantasy kitchen sink are aware that you are both edible and delicious. They think that about most people, actually, but you represent a threat. So they attack you.



You're heading to the city, for various reasons. First off, you hope to find other MAGICKAL SORCERERS like you. Second, you've had more than your fill of countrysides. You have had up to here with those cow-mauling werewolves, you swear to God. And third? Your GRAND MAGICKAL ADVENTURESOME SPIRIT COMPELS YOU TO SEEK NEW LANDS! And that is certainly not a cover story for an incident involving a prominent politician and caltrops that may or may not have belonged to somebody you could possibly know and/or be. Of course.



To protect yourself from the creatures of the dark, you have your trusty weapons! Actually... what was your weapon of choice, again?



Things to Decide:
What is your name?
What is your magical aspect? (This can be as classic or original as you'd like. Remember, you'll get a lot more mileage out of general terms than specific ones. For example, saying 'sky' instead of 'wind' will net you air, weather, and lightning instead of just air. Bear in mind that really general powers will be vetoed. For example, you can't say 'matter' as your domain.)
What is your weapon(s) of choice? You can be as tastefully understated or as extravagantly overboard as you'd like on this one. For instance, you could be a ninja guy who takes down hoards of monsters with a single dagger or you can be the walking armory who has throw-and-forget weapons galore. Only rule is that the weapons can't be modern.

When voting is done with those questions, the guy will change his shirt and hair color to the appropriate hues.

What is your name? Alanna. Female.
What is your magical aspect? Borders!
What is your weapon(s) of choice? Metal club with a thin layer of cosmetic green foam over it so it looks absolutely silly.

What is this claptrap? Bearomancy? Folding chairs? Ted?

Pick some more heroic accoutrements for yourself, kid.



We need at least a consensus of two votes for something.

In any case it would be a battle of critical thinking and I refuse to fight an unarmed individual.

Just so you know, geometry/borders will give you awesome powers. I like the creativity of it.

Yes it is a totally original idea and I definitely did not steal it from the most popular bullet hell game in japan.

I don't even know tohou deeply but the description of that power was awesome enough for me to want to steal it for quite a few characters. :P
