Crow
Falling is a Pleasure. Regardless of its Fate
"Once there was a maiden
With hope in her heart she fought the oncoming tide
She fought the rushing wind and the fiery storm.
Singing her hope for the future through bloodied lips, she sung until the stars were no more"
Discord Annihilation Theory
Odaka is on the cuspid of the new era. The old mixes with the new, warring for dominance over one another. the great labyrinthine backstreets contrasting against the immense skyscrapers raised in testament to the economic boon that has swept the nation in recent years.
Greatest of all, the Ueki Corporation headquarters, as if to stake its claim upon the metropolis, is positioned in the very heart of the city, the shining epitome of the very best and brightest that the world has to offer.
Great campuses and colleges were constantly constructed and expanded until they consumed great swaths of their terrain, with highways and neon signs signifying the business focus of the city. Save for a few exceptions, the crime rate is relatively low in most districts. Sponsored by the Ueki Group, Social Security and various other ambitious projects are in progress. Some would say it's becoming the new capital of the nation and that it was a privilege to live in such a city.
But you know that not everything is smiles and flowers.
Youma.
Monsters that lurk in the shadows. Just a step beyond the mundane, normal life, preying upon passersby unlucky enough to enter their territory.
They spread hate and feed on humanity's dark urges; many suicides and disappearances—largely unexplained tragedies—are caused by Youma.
Hallucinations and chaos have recently gripped the populace as people have reported they can hear a sad aria being sung high above. From the corner of their eyes, they see a girl dressed in white, unbelievably beautiful, and possessed of an ethereal charm. Those affected are said to be compelled to wander around seemingly at random, and sadly some are lured into the nests of Youma who are savvy enough to take advantage of their confusion.
This generates fear and rumors. In hopes of staving the fear away, people tend to talk, talk, and talk, and even forget the reality that caused their fear. Rumors abound about great beasts lurking in the night, murders happening when the mist is high, and a thousand tales more.
Thankfully all is not lost, for you are here. You made a contract to obtain great power in exchange for fighting against these abominations.
You are a magical girl, at the end of your path lies a wish; whether born from selfishness or altruistic desires, you are a warrior of humanity.
Now, what tales will they tell of you?
Magical Burst ReWrite is a 'dark magical girl RPG', taking inspirations from the classics, like Nanoha and Cardcaptor Sakura, and the darker settings, like the world of Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

Next you will find anything you need to build your character but I suggest you read the rules for the mechanics of the game.
Name: Self-explanatory.
Magical Girl Name: This is optional, but if you want to have an alias for use while on the job, feel free to make one.
Age: You can be anywhere from 10-18.
What kind of girl are you? Decide on a personality and such for your Magical Girl.
What drove you to make a Pact? What made you decide to become a Magical Girl? The power? The wish? A desire to save others? Or something else?
What is your wish? Assuming you survive long enough to get 13 seeds, what will you use them for?
Magical Element: This determines what types of Sorcery will be easier for you, as well as flavor. It can be anything from 'Fire' to 'Time' to 'Ribbons', but keep in mind how those elements can be applied.
Magical Power: A free power granted by your contract! This shouldn't be something that can be used in a fight, but if super-strength would reallyfit well with your character, we can discuss it. Cake-summoning, x-ray vision, enhanced senses, it's all good.
Costume: What you look like as a Magical Girl. You can use text or images. Feel free to throw in a picture of you when you're not hunting youma, but it's not required.
Weapon: Your weapon of choice as a Magical Girl! You can be as creative as you'd like with this one.
Normal Attributes: These determine your mundane skills. The three attributes are Physical, Finesse, and Social. Physical is raw strength, speed, and endurance. Finesse is your ability to notice things, avoid detection, and generally applies to more dexterous tasks like dancing or somesuch. Social determines how well you can handle other people and yourself in social situations, and thus affects your lying skills as well as your ability to make friends. You have 16 points to use as you please, but remember that no Normal Attribute can be below three or above seven at chargen.
Magical Attributes: Your skill as a Magical Girl! The three attributes this time are Magic, Heart, and Fury. Magic is raw magical skill, Heart is determination and positive emotions, Fury is anger and hatred. Keep in mind that these don't determine your Magical Girl's personality - she could be burning with rage when fighting youma, but still gentle when dealing with family. You have 18 points for these, and none may be below 3 or above 8 at chargen.
Talents: Talents represent particular nonmagical knacks or skills that a Magical Girl possesses. Each Magical Girl starts with 4 talents two 'major' and two 'minor' talents. Major talents give a +2 bonus on applicable Normal Challenges, while minor talents give a +1 bonus. There is no premade list of talents to select from, instead you should create talents appropriate to your particular Magical Girl.
However, there are a few rules that you need to follow when thinking of a Talent. The first is that a Talent can't always add to any specific Normal Action. 'Reading people' is too broad of a talent (as it would always apply to Read a Person), but something more specific like 'Comforting friends' could be appropriate. The second rule is that talents should be useful. If you can't think of any situation where you'd make a roll using that Talent, you probably shouldn't take it. It might even be worth it to think about the kind of situations you could use that talent in. The final rule is that Talents have to be something you can do without magic.
Archetype: Here's where the mechanics come along. Basically, an Archetype is something like your 'class' as a Magical Girl. The types are:
Strikers: The damage-dealers. They get a +1 damage with any Magical Attack, and can use their Overwhelm ability to reroll 1s on Overcharge dice incurred by an attack. These guys focus on bringing down youma hard and fast.
Guardians: Tanks. They get a +2 to base Resolve (HP), a +1 to all Resist challenges, and their passive defense is +6, not +4. They do what tanks do best; take hits and draw aggro.
Tacticians: The supports. They get a +1 to Support challenges, which means an easier time of weaving spells in a fight. In addition, they can choose an extra Signature Attack at chargen and can use their Integrity Scan ability to check the condition of their opponents.
Note that Archetypes will also determine what Archetype-specific Magical Effects you can choose. Magical Effects are unique abilities your Magical Girl can learn as she levels up and gains experience. They're less versatile than Sorcery in that their effects are locked, but more reliable in that you don't need to roll for their effects.
Magical Effects: Speak of the devil! Choose one from the General Effects list and one from your Archetype's list.
Signature Attacks: Your finishing move! These are your most powerful attacks, and can be very effective when used correctly. You can choose a name and describe the fluff for the attack on your own. For example, 'Burning Heart' - A giant fireball in the shape of a heart soars towards the target and explodes in a brilliant variety of colors. However, the effects of the attack are determined by the type:
Grand Barrage attacks can target a group or be focused on a single individual. Simple, effective, and hard to defend against.
Arcane Prison attacks trap the enemy in a cage of your manifested element. If they fail to resist, they are immobilized, and are incapable of attacking or weaving spells.
Disrupting Assault attacks throw your enemy off their game - they hit for an extra d6 points of damage, and upon hitting the enemy, they weaken them temporarily.
Sundering Blow attacks can't be stopped - if it's a clean hit, they do an extra d6 points of damage, but even if they miss they do half the damage of a normal attack.
Final Impact attacks are top-class for damage - if they hit, they get an extra 1d6+3 points of damage.
Master Strike attacks are hard to dodge - they get a boost to hit chance, and an extra d6 points of damage.
Will of the Protector finishers can be used in one of two ways - they can be used to make reviving a downed Magical Girl easier and restore more of their Resolve, or they can be used to heal the entire group and boost their defenses.
Riposte attacks are activated in response to an enemy's attack - they use the enemy's attack roll as the DC, and upon success halve the damage taken and deal 2 points of damage to the enemy. For every point you beat the DC by, up to 3, reduce damage taken by one and deal another point of damage to the enemy.
You should also think of a Crisis your Magical Girl is dealing with at the start of the game. It can be something personal - the growing distance between you and your family as you dedicate yourself to hunting youma - something magical -a particularly strong Youma is hunting you- anything you can think of that can be a source of conflict for your character!
