Name = Tokoyami Kin
Age = 13
Background = Kin was born with a degenerative eye condition that went undiagnosed for most of her childhood. When it was finally discovered (after she did quite poorly on an eye-exam), it was already too late to cure. By the time she was ten, she was completely blind. At first she almost felt it a blessing since the other kids had made fun of her and her progressively thicker glasses; now they wouldn't make fun of her so much... but in no time at all she quickly discovered the reality of the situation. She had to learn how to read braille and navigate without vision, something she had been used to for so long even despite her poor eyesight. In time she adjusted but she missed watching TV, playing video games, reading books, seeing the rainbows after heavy showers, her parent's faces... and her wish to regain her sight grew stronger and stronger until one day she was visited by a being calling itself Kyubey...
You wish = To be able to see.
Color Motif and non-magical appearance = Gold and silver. Her black hair is long and straight, but her eyes are a very pale - almost white - blue. She's short and slender and tends to wear comfortable short-sleeved shirts and knee-length skirts with similar-length socks and heavy boots.
Skills =
Favourite weapon = Cane (previously used to check for obstacles around her)
Soul Gem Purity =

Your wish is granted! [5]. You can see. You hoped to be normal, and you are now normal. Except you have to fight witches from now on. [4] You already feel the pain from such a life.

Non-magical appearance = Her black hair is long and straight, but her eyes are a very pale - almost white - blue. She's short and slender and tends to wear comfortable short-sleeved shirts and knee-length skirts with similar-length socks and heavy boots.
Magical Appearance: Since she last saw the world as a ten-year old, her outfit is what is expected for a 10-year old. Multi-layered, gold and silver blouse, and (decently long!) skirts. Wears a top hat. Golden soul gem on left shoulder.
Skills =
Eyes of the Mind (true) L5 (Magical, Natural) : You can read the motives of a conscious being when looking in their soul. You can effortlessly know where a blade is coming, and whether he is prepared to do a follow-up. You can also see how others see the bigger picture, with some difficulty. Though, if someone is almost acting on instinct, it is very hard to see, as it comes from a deeper consciousness.
Guidance (Magical) L1 : You can effortlessly make 2 objects homing at a target. It is gained from the time when you were blind.
Staff L1

Favourite weapon = Cane. Can split into sections to create a pseudo-chain, which can be used as a whip.
Soul Gem Purity = 80%

Never seen the show, but it sounds like a fun game, so I'm in!

Name = Leah Michelle Montblanc
Age = 14
Background = Leah grew up in a rough part of Paris. The neighborhood was frequently overrun by gang wars and drug dealers. Although she was mostly sheltered from this by her parents she couldn't be completely prevented from being influenced by it. At age 13 she ran away from home and joined a gang, after finding out her father was involved in one himself. She idolized him and decided to follow in his footsteps. Tragically, a day after her 14th birthday her father was shot in a gang fight. He died after a week of agony in the hospital. She was completely distraught and isolated herself from the rest of the world for the next 6 months.
You wish = For her father to come back to life.
Color Motif and non-magical appearance = Colors: Purple and White. At 5'9" she is taller than the other girls her age. She has curly brown hair, cut to just past her shoulders. Her green eyes bore their way into anyone standing in her way. She is very slender and has pierced ears. She tends to wear summer dresses.
Skills = (leave empty)
Favorite weapon = Fans
Soul Gem Purity = (leave empty)

Edit: Read up on the show on wikipedia. :) Sounds good and makes me glad I signed up.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Your wish is granted! [4] Your father did not die. He said he only used the fight as a pretext to give you a last lesson, only someone leaked the news that he is still living to you. Whether you suspect it is completely bs and is a result of your magic, [2] you did became very angry with your father. You left home, never look back, and began a life as a magical-ganster-girl.

Magical appearance: Typical badass gangster girl. Short, tight purple shirt, with a white jacket, which naturally acts as hammerspace to draw weapons or ammo from. Long purple trousers. Soul Gem, purple, above the neck line.
Skills = Healing (others) L5 (Magical, Natural): You can heal flesh wounds with trivial effort. More serious wounds would either need time or difficulty. You can even grow limbs back, if you need to.
Double L1 (Magical): With preparation, you can create and maintain one copy of yourself. More than one will be very difficult. of You can only control one copy at a time, or 2 at extreme difficulty. It is a very taxing spell and should never be spammed.
Gundoh L4: You know how to fight with two handguns, or handgun-like weapons, or anything that can also be used as a handgun, either using bullets or the weapon itself. With obligatory dancing, of course (search for spoilers of the worst anime in 10 years).
Favorite weapon = Fans, except that they are also deringgers which has a superposed load of 4 bullets (a la metal storm). Use cartridges. You can carry 4 cartridges in your coat; more than that are assumed to be summoned by magic (which always works).
Soul Gem Purity = 50%

(I admit, I liked this character.)

... That last sentence...

Also, Theodolus' character is badass. Quite a hardboiled dame.

Nice! Healing and guns! Now I can shoot the evil bastards when they won't answer my questions and heal them up afterwards so they can talk, ad nauseum. *evil grin* In fact if I didn't have that little seed of love for my father still alive I might have just shot my dad for being a dick about things and then healed him back up. But I don't think I could have inflicted that pain on him right after getting him back.

I was originally planning on her to be the semi-sweet/sorrowful healer type, but I think I like the idea of the 'don't really give a rats ass about you but I guess I can heal you anyway' type a little better. :D

0. No untagged spoilers to any anime/manga/Game/Novel/VN/whatever, unless it is a very common series like DB(Z), Saint Seiya, or Gundam. If something surprised you when you read for the first time, then it is probably a spoiler. Violating that will incur the wrath of the laws of nature, which means your best/most crucial roll next turn may be exchanged with a 1. Feel free to put in jokes, though.
1. This is a RTD game, so I do not expect too much seriousness. Nevertheless, please keep within civility, and metagaming is forbidden.
2. Your skills are merely a measure of how proficient you are capable of doing something. Outcome of actions is usually determined by a 1d6, except: 1. it is too trivial 2. It contradicts canon.
3. 1 is always critical failure; 6 is always critical success and up to eleven. 2-5 is sliding, from total failure to total success.
4. Only 5 or 6s will lead to skill changes, decided again by a 1d6.
5. Unlisted skills can be used and a treated as a L0, as magical girls surpasses the laws of nature. However, you do not really know how to use them, so even something trivial to a L1 have to be rolled.

Kyubey, who by definition cannot lie, tell you these.

/人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\

As a magical girl, you should fight witches. Witches are usually shy, so they usually do not materialize themselves in this world, and live within a boundary. However they may leave marks on people to draw them into their boundaries to kill them, which leads to mysterious disappearances in this world.
If a witch is killed, they will leave a grief seed. They may or may not be full, so you can transfer some of your darkness in your soul gem into it. They are usually dormant, but if left alone for too long, it might go into activity and rehatch into a witch. Kyubey is happy to consume them, but only when they are inactive.
There are also familiars, which are the minions of a witch. familiars range from weak ones which are confined in the boundaries, or strong ones which can have its own boundary. If left alone for too long, they might mature into witches.

As a magical girl, you got a soul gem. The soul gem is needed for you to perform any magical functions, including transformations. It also include finding witches/familiars, akin to a hot and cold game.

You moved to this town, S . Kyubey told that you are needed here, because of a high density of witches. You made up an excuse, and started life here. You may be a transfer student, expanding a gang, or whatever. You are told that there are other magical girls around, which might give you a chance of cooperation or competition. you do not know each other, yet.

It is now evening is 16th April (Fri). You are told that witches lurk around at night. So you decided to look around...

(Adwarf: I give you one chance to change your name, but please refrain from introducing further cheap Nasu-ea.)

I had to switch schools to do this... That won't look good on my college application... I better find some witches soon. Anna went to the nearest library to look up this town's history for any strange, possibly witch-related events.

Kin looked around, just happy to be able to see her surroundings for the first time in years... even if they were unfamiliar ones. At least she had a good cover for her real mission as part of a student exchange program. Curious about the town, she went to a local fast-food restaurant to buy a milkshake and listen for interesting rumors. Maybe something would be witch-related?

Little girl in a gold tophat. D'AWWWW.

Seras stepped out of her rather nice dwelling, looking around at the night. She wasn't really accustomed to having an entire place to herself, but her parents were generally preoccupied with business, and coming here alone was good for her ambition. Besides, she could contact them any time she liked, and this raised fewer questions about what she was doing in the dead of night.

That wasn't important at the moment, though. What was important at the moment was that she needed to subdue her first witch. Drawing her soul gem, she set about doing so in the most direct way possible- wandering to major areas hoping to catch a signal.

Leah wandered around the slummier parts of town. What better place to find out about missing people?

Poor people disappeared all the time in Paris and nobody ever mentioned it to those outside of the gangs, so why should this place be any different? That's not even to mention that this would be a great place to start up my own gang of misfits and orphans.

As she walked around, she kept an eye out for the usual suspects. Once she found one she would try to work her way into an existing gang and then assume a leadership position from the inside. With any luck, or skill, she would be in a comfy position to start searching for witches within the week.


Yes, she is very confident in her abilities to worm her way into a gang.

adwarf/Shirasu (shall I just write in katakana?)
[3] You blindly strolled around the town, and luckily you walked into a familiar. Will you enter its boundary?
Purity = 100%

choobakka/Anna
[1] You flipped through the History section, but found no books on the history of this town. Perhaps this town is not that big, after all. Your yangire tendencies took you, and in disgust you drawn a magical sword and threw it at a bookshelf! While you are careful enough to hide that sword, the librarian remembers your face and probably will not let you in again. Nice job breaking the place, Anna.
Purity = 70%

SeriousConcentrate/Kin
[5] You overhead a worried women, talking about her missing girl, last seen at a particular park. You got a glimpse at her (EoM(F)L5/trivial) and find out she is going to set out finding the girl once more. Perhaps this is a clue?
Soul Gem Purity = 79%

Ironyowl/Seras
[2] You did not take the map and end up going around the town for a few hours.
Soul Gem Purity = 50%

Theodolus/Leah
[2] You tried to walk around the slummy area - wait a minute - this is not Paris, you don't really know what a slum looks like here. So you aimlessly wander around, and found no clues.
Soul Gem Purity = 50%

It is around 10pm.

Event [1]
DRAMATIC ENTRY SEQUENCE!!!

A silhouette in red appears against the moon.
"So... this is the place we're going for? Full of witches and Magical Girls?"
"Yes, but they should be rookies. They are newly contracted."
"But how come they are here? Preparing for N?"
"Probably."
"Or... Game."
With a grin, she threw a Kusarigama - or a Sickle on a chain - onto a nearby railing, and swings into darkness.

(Note: I'll try to keep everyone synchronous. If I foresee that you'll be threw out of sync, probably due to combat, I'll process your turn first, essentially giving you a free turn. If someone lags too much, I may enforce a toki wo tomare - essentially you have to make up fast or everyone will be in suspended animation.)
