So the idea has been thrown around but to my knowledge, it's never been executed. Over the years DR/The Flux has existed, we've played a lot of major genres of anime...monsters of course, zombie/survival horror, Shonen, Classic/JRPG Fantasy, Mecha...and now there's even a Mature board for H-Games/thread. But what have I never seen done on here?
Taking a look at the banner above this should give you more than a hint. Mahou Shoujo/Magical Girls. It's a fairly popular genre. We all know the major ones: Sailor Moon, Tokyo Mew Mew, Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch, Wedding Peach, Pretty Cure, Card Captor Sakura, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, etc. W.I.T.C.H. & Winx Club are the two of the most popular shows magic female warrior shows outside Japan. So yes, I've chosen to try and piece together an RPG based on the genre.
But wait! Who said it just had to be Magical Girls?
For those who have no interest in playing a girl prancing around in frilly bows, skirts, heels and decked out in sparkles and jewels, no worries. It won't be that kind of RPG and it won't be limited to female characters, male characters will be able to get in on the action too. I'm not talking about just as a guardian/love interest for the girls like Tuxedo Kamen was to Sailor Moon. I mean, the team of heroes will be composed of males and females. And I have chosen to dub them Rune-Witches (females) & Rune Knights (males). So yes, the girls will likely be dressed in pretty high-fantasy female mage outfits and the guys will gain magical armor like that of a mage warrior. Both will utilize magic and special attacks.
Motifs/Powers Now as you know, there's always some sort of motif in these shows....Sailor Moon is based on planets, Mermaid Melody is...obviously Mermaids, Tokyo Mew Mew has animals, Winx Club is fairies, etc. And these motifs are what inspire their magical abilities and attacks. With that said, I'm not setting a specific motif for all the main characters to follow. I'm taking a page out of Winx Club's book (before you flip your lids if you hate the show, this RPG isn't based on it, it's inspired by it along with every other shows listed before) where each of the main girls hailed from a different homeworld and their magic attacks was inspired by it. So yes, while Fire, Water, Earth & Air Guardians Unite~ are available to utilize for one's magic & theme, this RPG will be more open to just the standard elements, There's Ice, Metal, Wood/Nature, Light, Darkness, Gravity, Sound, Poison, get as creative as you want. You can have your knight/witch have their powers influenced by music and manipulate sound (Madame Prez has already claimed that one, oop), have them be sun themed, moon themed, technology themed, you want a witch/knight to have control over animals? Go for it. They could have weapons too.
I'm also probably going to jack the 'Sailor Crystal' idea from Sailor Moon. The characters will all have some sort of source within them that gives them their magical abilities and it will also acts as somewhat of a life source. Yep, have this magical source destroyed and you will most definitely bite the dust.
...Guys will henshin just like girls. That's right, fellas. Get glowy, naked and wiggle that schlong while changing clothes. Okay, it won't be that graphic, but yeah. XD
Setting Modern day Earth will be there, but it won't be the main setting. I'm sure the battle will be taken to Earth for an arc but main characters will probably only venture there for fun like they would to the other worlds. Yes, I said worlds. the settings of this RPG will be expanded over different planets. They won't be exactly part of the dimension Earth lays in, but a whole different wondrous dimension where magic thrives in contrast to plain old planet Earth. How many worlds will there be? There's no set amount yet. To spare myself and my Co-GMs some time and pain of plotting them all out, I'll be allowing the players to create the home world of their own characters in this other magic dimension.
There will be a main set of characters the story will focus on, (I'm thinking about 6-8) but plenty of secondary and NPCs will be needed for creation. Did I mention the main setting will be a Magic Academy? Yes, like Hogwarts but more epic. Characters will be at the academy to learn about their magical abilities and potential. Of course the main characters will turn out to be the special gems amongst the student body as they go on adventures to saving not just one world but multiple across this other universe.
Rating
...Well, the difference between Sailor Moon, Tokyo Mew Mew, Winx Club, and all those shows and this RPG is that this RPG won't be for the light hearted. It'll be darker than your average Magical Girl anime. The game may start out light in tone with the characters discovering their powers as they start fighting off low level monsters/demons while dealing with school, romance and life in general but things will get gritty. There will be casualties...on both good and evil sides. And by casualties, it won't be Disney Deaths or monsters just being 'moon dusted'. It will be totally possible for characters to lose limbs during fights or for someone to be torn in half by the enemy. Not saying that this will be straight up violent all the time like Mortal Kombat but it will have it's moments.
...that's basically what I have for now. This will be updated with a more concrete plot once I see some feed back on the idea. Thanks <3
