I was daft and forgot to include Back-Story, also family members count for Relationships FYI.

Assume this thread as a signups thread from now on, Julius is asleep so I'll have him edit things properly tomorrow.

Spoiler: Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

Personality: Cool, Reserved
Name: Nayara Araullo
What kind of character are you: Supportive defender
What convinced you to make a contract: If I make a wish I can fix everything that has gone wrong.
What is your wish: I wish I could be my old self again.
What is your Crisis: One day I started going about my usual routine, but every-one was convinced that I had died the day before.
Costume: The classic Gothic Lolita look, with plenty of lace, ribbons and black fabric. Also has a silk eyepatch over her left eye, and a single, large, black peacock feather sticking up in her hair. While wearing her costume Nayara seems a bit insubstantial, like a dream or shadow.

Backstory: Still working on this bit.

Relationships & Attribute Associated: Still working on this as well.

Mundane Attributes
Aggro: 3
Cool: 5

Base HP 18

Magickal Attributes
Heart: 9
Fury: 3
Magic: 6

Abilities
Magical Element: Shadows
- Magical Effect: Magic Shield
Magical Powers: Invisibility
- Magical Effect: Regeneration
Magical Weapon: Derringers, which she pulls out of her dress as needed and discards them afterwards.
Finishing Attack: Binding attack. All lights seem to dim slightly, as all shadows reach out and wrap around her target, crushing it and constricting its movements.

Still very WIP, obviously, especially since relationships and junk still have to be worked out. Still, I'm aiming to be the tank/supporter of the party. Also, I like the relationship system since I can use my awesome social attribute to help repair any strain on them. Very useful when you can create strain to gain bonuses and heal damage.

[Culise]

With support and aggressor covered, I think I'll go cool and collected for a ranged sniper.  Completely WIP, of course, along with the others.  Start off reading up on mudang, noro, and yuta, and end up learning about dozens of kinds of obis.  The Wiki-walk strikes again.

Name: Shizuka Komori
Personality: Silent Bookworm
What kind of character are you? Ranged attacker
What convinced you to make a contract? If I make a wish I can fix everything that’s gone wrong.
What is your wish? For my parents to find love again
What is your Crisis? TBD
Costume:
A silver robe with saffron trim.  Small ribbons are attached to the seams where the sleeve meets the torso and waist, each bearing hanzi symbols similar to those found on fortunes. 

Backstory
A young student at the local secondary school (appropriate educational institution for our chosen age bracket) on the arcology, she is not known very well amongst her classmates, mostly being considered at best studious and shy, and at worst somewhat stand-offish.  It is not known to any outside of the school staff, but she lives alone in practice, her father and mother both working in separate countries from both her and each other, and their only contact with her is to send her money every month to live off of as she lives at home.  It was likely this that gave her the impetus to become a magical girl.  She also occasionally volunteers at the local shrine where she tends the gardens, which seems to be where she received much of the inspiration for her costume.

I'll start work on mine after this LoL match ends.

Out of curiosity, how fucked would I be with a wish to "always be happy"?

[Zecro_The_Scourge]

It would probably be detrimental to morale seeing a Magical Girl who is happy even when her limb's are blown off.

[USEC_OFFICER]

It would probably be detrimental to morale seeing a Magical Girl who is happy even when her limb's are blown off.

For who, us or the enemy?

[Culise]

It would probably be detrimental to morale seeing a Magical Girl who is happy even when her limb's are blown off.

Ah, I see.  Can't imagine why...

[Julius Clonkus]

Everlasting happiness may protect you from becoming a Witch due to grief, but it doesn't protect you from an uncomfortable case of sudden lynching because you happen to smile like a moron even if your best friend just died.

You know how everyone hates Kyubey because the critter does not emphasize. You'll be at the mercy of the same effect with smaller chances to come back.

Oh, and even if you don't get lynched, chances are seeing you cheerful and all despite something awful having happened just a moment ago will really just send your comrades in arms into despair a lot faster.

[Baneling]

Comrades in arms?

I'd like to point out that, barring personal cases or unusual behaviour like Mami, the magical girls are pretty much actively encouraged to be territorial and competitive with each other, because Grief Seeds to purify a tainted Soul Gem are not exactly common, and they tend to be single-use.

[Fivetime]

Well, I'll give it a try.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Personality: Hot-Blooded Wannabe Heroine
Name: Saeko Aozaki
What kind of character are you? Agile Fighter/Mecha Lover
What convinced you to make a contract? "Discovering that I could finally achieve my greatest dream! And plus, a mecha would be useful for world peace and stuff like that, wouldn't it?"
What is your wish? "Becoming a mecha pilot."
What is your Crisis? "I feel as if everyone, my sister and aunt included, thinks of me as an outcast with weird hobbies who should be avoided at any time possible."
Costume: Armored ballgown. The fabric is white, except for the torso, which is dyed blue and decorated with two golden fake pouches, and the tips of the gown, which are dyed in red. The collar of the gown is golden. The costume is completed by a white tiara with two antennas and a red gem embedded in it.

Backstory: Saeko and her sister Kana have lived in the arcology with their aunt Junko since when their mother, a single woman-in-career, accepted a lucrative job offer in the West and decided to entrust Saeko and Kana to her elder sister.

While not terribly anti-social, Saeko's role as the resident mecha otaku is pretty much well know by everyone going to her school in the arcology. She's got a quite big Gunpla collection, which she is very jealous of, and her DVD library almost consists only of mecha anime.

Saeko's aunt isn't very approving of her niece's obsession with giant robots, but she tolerates it to some degree. Meanwhile, Kana shares the same interests as her sister, much to their aunt's chagrin. She and Saeko regularly attend the local anime cons and cosplay competitions.

Relationships & Attribute Associated: Junko Aozaki, Aunt, Heart-type relationship (Family ties)
Kana Aozaki, little Sister, Heart-type relationship (Family ties)

Oh man, I've wanted to into Magical Burst for a while, but have not found people to be the little girl with.

Wanna be the angriest disillusioned loli.  Maximum Hate.  Maybe wish for an end to world hunger, and now the news is like 'dude, no one needs to eat anymore, wtf', and gotta deal with the ramifications of suddenly realizing I've put farmers and chefs and all those sorts outta business and stuff.

Better yet, wish that nobody could die, and watch as the world burns in the flames of overpopulation and the fact that the little rat didn't prevent people from aging. 

While taking the Evil Genie route sounds plain awesome for a Bay12 PBP, I think it would be better for all if we limited Grand-Scale Wishes like that since only bad things can happen. Especially since in the Madoka universe it's heavily implied that your Wish's capabilities are based off

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

how much energy you are liable to release as a Witch.

Wait, so, would that wish be disallowed or something?  In ye Magical Burst setting, you don't get a wish right off the bat, and need to punch out 13 Youmawitches for their seeds before you can make a wish, right.  While starting a scenario post-having-made-that-wish would be pretty neato, I'm just saying that if I ever got that far, it would be pretty awesome to have my wish do something like that.

That raises another question:  Are we gonna go for the slightly-more-generic, MBurst setting, or will it be straight up Madoka-setting, except in that there arcology?  The wishes work different, so it's like, yeah.


Also uh, can I start with Technicolor Yawn?  It sounds hilarious.  Not necessarily as a veteran, I just want the Change.  >.>  Should I worry about it being a Magic Change, also, when I'm planing on Magic being my lowest thing.

Re: Always Happy - there's a Change for that, too - you're not always happy, but you are always grinning.

[Flying Dice]

Farce, Credens Justitiam changes that aspect of character creation. You can either start with your wish (as is the norm for PMMM) or without making a wish, which means you're a normal person with the potential to become meguca.

re: Happiness: That's about what I was shooting for. There's a lot of good potential for fridge horror, and the style of play I'm aiming for is going to be... high risk, shall we say?

Spoiler: Here we go (click to show/hide)

Name: Takabe Suzu
Personality: Aah, people say that I'm a bit of a wallflower, but I'm trying hard to overcome that!
What kind of character are you? I try to be a kind person, even though people tend to overlook me. It's tough, but I won't give up. I'm sure that one day people will acknowledge me, and I'll be happy with close friends!
What convinced you to make a contract? This is my chance! That little animal-thing is sorta creepy, but if it can make my wish come true...
What is your wish? I never want to be sad again!
What is your Crisis? TBD
Costume: Ooh, it's so fancy! I've got a sleeveless forest-green tunic and white tights, only the tunic's tails are really long; they go all the way down to the backs of my knees! There's also this pretty light green trim around the edges. I've got matching slippers and... what're they called? Operation... oh, that's right, opera gloves! Like I said, slippers and opera gloves with the same colors and trim as the tunic, and pretty little green bows in my chestnut-colored hair to hold my twintails back.

Backstory: I'm nothing special, just an ordinary student. Mama and Papa are always busy with work, but it's okay, because I have lots of fun playing on my own. We had to move around a lot for Mama's job, so I never had a chance to make many friends when I was little. I sorta wish things had been different, but it's too late now. I'm already eleven, nearly grown up! When we moved to this arcao--archea--arcology! (Grr, stupid word) ehehe, anyways, when we moved here last year, it felt sorta different. It's not too bad, I suppose. Maybe I'll finally be able to make a real friend!

Relationships & Attribute Associated: TBD (None prior to game) Aheh, I'm not really that close to anyone... not yet!

It always seems to hit right on target, and for some reason it feels stronger when I'm trying to protect someone.

[Farce]

Goddammit, maybe I'm overthinking this.
Whatever have this activist-loli that is angry about injustice.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name
Andrea Morgan-Ingham (American)

What kind of character are you?
Activist-type?

What convinced you to make a contract?
If there’s no justice in the world, I’m going to become justice.

What is your wish?
I wish for world peace!

What is your Crisis? #If any, can be developed later on.
Costume:
A Che Guevara beret and one of those huge greatcoats except red with a giant hammer and sickle emblazoned on the back would be pretty tacky, wouldn't it?  Let's not do that.

Hero Scarf - Red, of course.  Flutters in the wind, even when there isn't any!
Color scheme is red.  Besides rather thick, forearm length leather gloves and black, shiny knee-high boots, her costume is fairly typical.

Normally, she looks more or less like this.


Backstory
Did a current events assignment for school, and went online to get her article.  Kept going because she thought it was neat, knowing about what was going on in the world, but stuff like revolutions, executions, and gross human rights abuses halfway around the globe made her question her Channel 5 sorta daily news.  Also stuff like the widening gap between rich and poor in terms of wealth and often jail times.  Has generally become reeeeally anti-establishment/authority-y.  Signed up to Avaaz's newsletter and stuff.

Also plays table-top games, having got into it via their parents.  Understands cyberpunk a lot better now.

Aforementioned parents are an Arcology Technician/Engineer (dad) and a Teacher (mom).  Also has an annoying older brother.


Relationships & Attribute Associated
- Friendly Local Game Store
- Family, I guess?
Some other stuff that I should potentially wait for other people to fill in I guess.  I am totally not going to try and recruit the other magical girls into pretending to be Half-Thrikeen Bards and play RPGs within an RPG, and also this is a lie.

Abilities
Magical Element: FIRE!  Ostensibly of revolution.
- Magical Effect - Magic Boost: Get one free Overcharge die per battle in one particular attribute.

You DID say 2 powers, right?
Magical Power: Eat Anything - Gnaw at the foundations of the bourgeoisie.
- Magical Effect - 5. Magic Strike.  Can take 1 Overcharge once per attack to do 1d6 damage.  Helpfully, the hammer is good for tenderizing, the sickle for chopping off, and the fire for impromptu searing.
Magical Power: The People - MAGICAL CHARISMA.  Can make a speech that can influence crowds pretty good, or something.
- Magical Effect - A buff of +2 to everybody else's next turn, or something?

Magical Weapon: Holy Symbol.  By which, of course, I mean a hammer and sickle.
Finishing Attack - Venceremos!  (Debilitating attack)
To topple the dictator, you must destabilize the power base.
Usually used as an opening move!
In the vein of guerrilla warfare, creates cover via towering flames, and then she darts in and out to take cheap shots.

Now that a good playerbase has been established I'll begin setting up the IC thread and finalizing things on my To-Do list.

[Zecro_The_Scourge]

Despite my attempts at Standardization it seems that a lot of players are getting confused with certain aspects of the sheet, therefor I request that all who have to simply remove the second Magickal Power and the Effect that one would assume come with it. If only to make everyone's life easier.
