Rise of the magic girls* OOC

Rise of the magic girls* OOC
*some magic girls are actually boys but magic boys sound wrong and magic person is just odd. Beside most magic users in this verse for some reason are girls.

I know, I know, I did say no games till I pass my driving test, but I get bored and thus a very light mechanicals game. The stats are the most complex part of this game.

Anyway, the setting is a normal Earth but with a hidden magic girls element. Up till now, the only effects are that some historic figures had powers. For the most part, there been nothing for magic girls to use their powers on so most of them live normal lives and keep their powers secret. Of course that going to change soon.

I will pick the six that bend the best and the rest shall be on a waitlist for when the active ones retire or die horrible deaths.

Default Combat Turn:
If Angel, turn into Nuriel.
If Nuriel, say a horrible one-liner and burn an enemy.

Your sig text tempts me so Scapheap, but I can't bring myself to it.

Character coming up! (judging from the way stats work, 3 or 4 in normal equals 1 in Magic)

Name: Selina / Ghost

Gender: Female

Appearence: A 16 year old girl with emerald green eyes and long hazel hair that covers her left eye. She's about 5'6 with a skinny build, lightly tanned skin, and a small chest.

Magic Appearence: Same age, height and chest size. Has electric blue eyes, glowing teal hair, and tan skin. Her face has jagged yellow tattoos on it, as well as on her arms. She's wearing a light blue jumpsuit with small boots and gloves.

Power: The power of Drawings! Can take drawings out of their pictures as 3-D items. The change can be reversed with the original location of the drawing. The bigger the drawing, the more effort it takes to take it out of its location, with living things taking 3X the effort.

Background: Selina was a shy girl, had been since birth. Her parents tried many times to help her make friends when she began school, but to no avail. Her only interest in school was drawing, and what detailed drawings they were! Even in kindergarden she could draw a garden of flowers, each one being unique and expertly detailed in a matter of days. Just after she turned 10 however, she became deathly ill.

Despite numerous treatments and procedures, the Doctors were unable to help her and she seemed doomed to die... until her father intervened. He prayed and begged every god and deity he knew to spare his daughters life in exchange for his. And just when Selina was about to die, a great light appeared above her bed. As the light dimmed, Selina grew stronger while her father grew weaker. When the light had fully dimmed and left, Selina stabalized. Her father died minutes later, clasping his daughters hand, with a smile on his face.

After leaving the hospital and attending her father's funeral, Selina felt that something about her had changed. It wasn't until she was 12 that she discovered she could make her drawings move, as if they were alive or real. When she turned 13, she was able to pull a plate right out of the page. At 14 she managed to coax a butterfly out of a field she had drawn, though it took immense effort to do so. After the butterfly, Selina condsidered, several times, whether to draw her father and bring him back. With a depressed sigh she decided against it, not knowing what might happen if she made a full size living and thinking human being. Over the last couple years, Selina worked on perfecting her talent, not knowing if she was the only one in the world who could do what she did.

(The biggest thing she managed to take out was a fairy about half a foot tall. She was unconcious for 2 hours when she accomplished it. The fairy stays in her room at home most of the time, reading books and learning things about the world she was brought into.( I hope this is alright, if not, discount it )

Stats 27/27:

Str: 3(2)/6(4)
Mag: 9(8)/11(10)
Dex: 9(7)/7
End: 6(5)/4(3)
Mind: 5/4

Back-up combat turn(in general)- Ghost will use her shield to push an enemy into an AoE attack, or attack normally with sword and shield.

Conny will rain arrows from above, usually light, but will be a backup healer if needed.

@Harry Baldman, the idea of magic is mostly unknown so these magical families can exist, but they won't be known for magic. Hell, most magic 'girls' think they are the only magic user because they never came across another user.

That's the thing, they aren't known for magic. They're just weirdos living in fancy old houses with unspecified incomes. Like mystical, whimsical mobsters.

((Would it work better by claiming it's more of a finesse thing with magic, and how to best using what you have? It doesn't really make sense for someone who was born with magic to partially reject it on scientific grounds.))

Name: Cyrus Leryl/Umbral Arrow
Gender: Male/female

Appearance: 11 years old Caucasian, short brown hair, blue eyes. He is short, thin, and looks slightly underfed. He tends to wear Pokemon T-shirts and jeans.
Umbral Arrow looks to be of a similar age and build, but looks to be Japanese and has purple hair and eyes. Her uniform is predominately a dark, faded purple, with slightly lighter, brighter purple trim. It is a very lacy and has many purple ribbons (dark enough to not stand out in the darkness). She has a mid-thigh-length skirt, knee-high socks, and a short sleeved shirt with a partially-open back. Long-sleeved fingerless gloves go up to two inches from the end of the sleeves. Her hair is in two pigtails, hangs just behind her arms, and reaches down between her sleeves and arm warmers.

Personality: Cyrus tries to act as what he thinks is 'mature', and is generally somewhat pessimistic. He tends to have a book and a Gameboy on hand. He likes getting praised, Pokemon, and learning new things. / Contrary to expectations from her outfit, Umbral Arrow is nearly always happy, upbeat, and enthusiastic. She loves the thrill of the hunt, epic things, and girly stuff (dolls, chick-flicks, shopping).

Power: Divination (tarot cards, tea leaves, and the like)/close-ranged shadow control. Her tested powers are extending a short field around herself to move silently and unseen (if the newly dark area isn't suspicious), manifesting shadowy weapons (an elaborate bow, arrows, and a shiv), and a form of teleporting from one very dark area to another (only to line-of-slight or particularly well-known areas, exhausting).

General archetypes: weird bookish kid, PERFECTLY RELIABLE intel/stealth, recon, archer

Background: He lived a mostly normal life until he was ten, living in a fairly small town with only his mother and grandmother. His mother was usually busy, and they never bonded closely. His grandmother taught him various divination techniques, despite his repeated statements that they were either uselessly vague or fake. On his tenth birthday, he learned that his family had had an unbroken line of magical girls through the generations. With his mother no longer able to have children, he was forced into the role with a surprise power-granting ritual. His grandmother sensed that a great oncoming darkness was now inevitable, and said it could wait no longer. The strain of the ritual cost his grandmother her life.

He has spent the last year trying to avoid his 'fated' role, both resenting it for killing his grandmother and a deep dislike of transforming into a female, only changing form a handful of times. He spent most of his time buried in school-work or practicing divination, occasionally getting roped into joining his mother on her hunts.

He doesn't actually care about the change while in Umbral Arrow form, which further disturbs him when he reverts.

Stats:
Str: 3/4(3)
Mag: 12/4
Dex: 3/11(10)
End: 4(3)/3
Mind: 4/5

I see it like this. As far as the world know, magic is the stuff of fairytales and the world run on cold, hard science(religions are there, but few beleave that a god made the world, more following a religion for the spirit and the communicate). Thus a magic girl that been drilled with the idea that apples fall down, even though she can make it fly in six difference ways, none of them down, without moving her arm is going to be at odd with her own mind.

To use which, guns or gins?

I find it amusing that my character is younger than the others by about a decade. She's also smarter than any of the others when not Transformed. Anyways, once I figure out the backstory enough to save it I'll be done.
