December 22, 2012. 3:00 PM. Latitude 37, Longitude 139. 75 kilometers above the surface. A meteor explodes in a shower of blue and indigo fragments. Fragments of the meteor were scattered over Japan, Korea, and part of the Chinese coast. These fragments were mostly glowing blue, with some purple and rumors of other colors. Stranger than the glowing fragments were bolts of what seemed to be pure blue light. These struck a handful of lucky--or luckless--individuals, knocking them out.

When they awoke, they were...different. They looked the same, but had strange new abilities. Reports came in fro around the region of people with such abilities. What were they? Why were they? And what would they do?

Spoiler: Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: What do people call you?
Age: How many years ago were you born?
Gender: Are you a tomboy or a girl? For whatever reason, no males are known to have magical abilities.
Appearance: What do you look like?

Background: What did you do before getting hit with a bit of magical meteor? (You don't have to have been anything special, mind.)
That Night: Why were you in Japan, or perhaps Korea or part of coastal China? (The simplest explanation is that you're Japanese, but if you don't want to be Japanese you have to figure out why you were there.) Also describe what you were doing that night, why you were outside.
Power: A one- or two-word description of your magic. Something like "Fire" or "Gravity". No two characters can have the same power, powers cannot be either too specific or too powerful, and other limitations will be applied as I see fit to fit with [BACKGROUND REDACTED].

I hope to take ~6 players, and definitely won't take more than 10. I will also see if I can work in a sort of waitlist, but you won't be one of the Originals.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Gender: Tomboy

...Did not expect anyone to choose that. Silly of me, really.

I threw a dart at a map on where to go. Japan was hit.

I'm not going to force it, but could you provide a bit more detail about what happened that actual night? It would help with the intro.

Power: Magical gunslinger.

A bit specific, and yet too vague. Interesting. Could you define this?

Power: Life (Healing and animate object interaction).

A bit on the broad side...I'd definitely let you pick one of those.

Spoiler: my rotten (magical) girl (click to show/hide)

Name: Medomai

Age: 15

Gender: Fujioshi ((Since Tomboy counts this should totally count))

Appearance: about five-five in height, her hair is dyed cherry red. She's thin as a stick.

Background: Read BL manga, student with average marks.

That Night: Japanese student, reading her manga with her window open.

Power: Love. Like Cupid, because love hurts like getting shot with an ero. EYYYYY

[DarkArtemisFowl]

Ooh... this is tough, then. Fine, she is able to interact with plants and animals, and give them simple commands, dropping the healing.

If possible, I would like to keep some form of weak healing maybe, but it's up to you.

[ragnarok97071]

Name: Shinohara Mao
Age: 13
Gender: Female, tomboyish
Appearance: At this point, nearly anything, though she originally had brown hair, usually worn in ponytails, and red eyes.

Background: Mao was quite an introvert, avoiding contact with others almost completely and, in fact, hadn't left her room for about a month prior to the event.
That Night: Mao lives in japan, so she was there in any case. The reason she was outside was, quite simply, that she was attempting to kill herself by leaping from her balcony.
Power: Shapeshifting.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Mind if I ask why he was killing herself?
And also why she had red eyes? Japan is pretty phenotypically homogenous*.

*Okay, the brown hair marks her pretty clearly as an outsider, but still, red eyes.

Power: Magical gunslinger.

A bit specific, and yet too vague. Interesting. Could you define this?

Edited.
The idea I got for the power is two handguns that Jane can summon with element rounds. The rounds are also summoned into the guns(like Dante's handguns) and do things depending on what. the types are elements. Here a list of what I got so far.

Fire: Fireball on contract
Ice: Freezes a small area around impact.
Lightning: It acts like a taser.
Water: Act like a water bomb. Usually follows by a Ice or Lightning round.
Wind: You know the sandbag shotgun used by SWAT. Like that.
Earth: It a bullet. Just a bullet(somethings are fireproof okay!)
Light: Flashbang.

If I come up with more types, I'll run them past you first.

[draco1234]

Name: Kaia Greenwood
Age: 16
Gender: Girl, tomboyish (more due to interests than appearance)
Appearance: She has long dark-brown hair, green eyes, and a relatively average build (If a little thin).

Background: Kaia has always had a fascination with technology ever since she was a little girl.  She would spend hours dismantling various appliances to see how they worked (much to the annoyance of her parents, as she was never as adept at putting them back together).  As she grew older, she found it quite difficult to mix with the other children due to differing interests, resulting in her becoming a bit of a loner, often preferring to spend her time tinkering with various electronics rather than playing with other children. 
That Night: That night was her second in Japan.  She and her parents had decided to finally come here on holiday to celebrate her Dad’s new promotion at the accountancy firm where he works.  They were staying in an expensive hotel room in Tokyo when the meteor exploded.  Kaia happened to be looking out of the window at the time, admiring the view of the city and absentmindedly toying with a piece of the television remote that she had been messing with earlier.  Her admiration was cut short when she noticed the explosion, just in time for a bolt of pure light to shine through the window and knock her out cold.
Power: Electricity

That's simultaneously more nuanced and complex, as well as more broad, than what the lore I've concocted so far would allow. I'm sorry, but I need you to come up with a new power.

(not finished yet)

What's there so far looks acceptable.

Power: Tarot motifs

That's not a power, it's a...motif.

Power: Adorable, or cats.

Tricky, tricky. I'm trying to figure out some way for that to work, but both are a bit...specific.
