Hello! This is my second quest. I'm starting it because quests make me happy, and because we need more Precure quests. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to manage both just fine as long as I keep the story parts short and let you guys vote often. Like in my other quest, a lot of votes will be done in this manner:
- First, I will ask for write-in votes.
- I will then pick the ones I feel would work best or lead to the most interesting possibilities.
- Then, there will be a second vote, with the write-in votes I chose becoming the choices in the vote. Whichever write-in wins will be the action that you take.
There will still be multiple choice votes, of course.
Before we begin, we have some things to decide.
Precure, short for Pretty Cure, exist in every country, from Canada to Bhutan. Some work in teams, while others fight alone, but almost all of them are based in cities, which attract more Saiark.
While the identities of the Precure are unknown, their existence is a cultural phenomenon. The idea of school-age girls fighting monsters by beating them down with punches, kicks, and magical attacks is ludicrous, and yet that's what's happening. The politicians are still scrambling to take control of the situation, but the media has done well in glamourising and merchandising the Precure. It helps that a lot of their items look like the sort of toys that little kids would love…
And so it is that you can find Precure figures at the mall, Precure songs on the radio, Precure movies in the theaters, Precure magazines with interviews and special polls, TV shows dedicated to keeping up with the Cures' daily exploits — all that stuff. The world is being invaded, after all, and it's only natural for people to grab whatever hope they can reach and hold it tightly.
The Mirage Empire is still quite mysterious. Its ruler, Queen Mirage, has never once put out a statement or made any demands; instead, her forces attack and attack and attack, causing as much damage as they possibly can. No one knows where these Mirage Empire people came from or what their goals are; although some people claim to recognize certain Saiark users (known as Mirage Generals), they're usually blown off as conspiracy theorists or attention seekers. The Blue Sky Kingdom in northern Europe was the first nation to be attacked, and it fell shortly after, overwhelmed by a massive army of Saiark. According to some sources, one girl managed to become a Precure, but she was too late to stop the horde, and she barely escaped the kingdom with her life.
Nowadays, the Blue Sky Kingdom serves as the Mirage Empire's base of operations, and though no other countries have fallen, things sometimes look bleak.
Still, you're not going to give up hope, are you? You've wanted to be a Precure for years, to defend the ones you love and be the hope of the world. Some might say you have a hero complex, but you just can't see yourself living an ordinary life and never accomplishing anything that really matters. You don't see the point in going to school to prepare yourself for more school, which in turn prepares you for a job you don't like but feel obligated to do, which in turn leads to you "settling down" and having a family, raising your kids to do exactly what you did. You've always figured there must be more to the world than that, and when the Precure first appeared, your suspicions were proven correct. You don't have to content yourself with reading books and wishing you were the hero anymore. You can
become the heroine of your own story.
And now, after years of wishing and hoping and begging anyone who can hear to give you a chance, you've finally done it — you've found a crystal, the kind that turns into a PreChan Mirror when a girl with the right potential wishes to protect the things that matter. You know that your legend is right around the corner, and you've got your Cure name worked out already. Now it's only a matter of waiting for the next Saiark attack…

Oh, and I've added some more worldbuilding and legendary Precure to the HappinessCharge setting, so keep a look out for that...
