Dark Magical Girl Quest

Reader mode
Wow. Can't believe we didn't pick Kaiju.
For this one I'm not really feeling Love, I want to be able to freely punch our opponents in the face.

[X] Plan: Lazy Idol Doesn't Feel Like A Scavenger Hunt
[X] Plan Magical Girl Starscream

These seem neat, though I do like the idea of an Indoctrination meathead plan.

EDIT:
[X] Plan: Justice is people getting what's coming to them
-[X][Gender] Enby
-[X][Appearance] Pale indigo eyes, short pink hair with some androgyny, seething behind a polite smile
-[X][Origin] Indoctrination (Might 7, Skill 5, Intellect 3, Empathy 1, Soul 10)
-[X][Sin] Wrath
-[X][Club] Music +5 Soul
-[X][Club] Martial Arts: +5 Might
-[X][Name] Ryuko Tomoe
-[X][???] JUSTICE

Justice is people getting what's coming to them, which I imagine is what would happen with this character (one way or another).
This one goes all in on Soul and Might. I like to imagine Music spells giving them their own BGM, and Martial Arts should combo well with a facepuncher build. Absolutely full speed ahead on being chuuni, even if they'd deny it themselves.
EDIT2: Just noticed that Wrath's flaw works off of Empathy. Was tempted to swap Music to Anime/Manga for some more whilst making them even more chuuni, but I like the idea of Music as a hobby/magic too much to swap it out. Plus it'd only be a few more % points chance of success on the roll.

@MrKermie you have to have the vote on its own line for the tally to count it.

Playing catch-up with this quest; discovered we could've been a vampire but I missed my choice to world vote, so Fml. Really want to take one of the invisitext bonuses, but it's probably too late for any plan I make to catch on, and this plan's my favorite frontrunner right now.

[x] Plan: Lazy Idol Doesn't Feel Like A Scavenger Hunt
- [x] [Gender] Girl
- [x] [Appearance] Pale indigo eyes, short black hair and a lack of height.
- [x] [Origin] Pretense
- [x] [Sin] Sloth
- [x] [Club] Urban Legends: +3 Intellect, +2 Empathy
- [x] [Club] Gatcha Games: +3 Empathy, +2 Intellect
- [x] [Name] Takeuchi Asuka
- [x] Take Nothing
 
[X] Plan The Power of Love IT'S LUST!

Honestly, with the nature of our Evil Figure hovering over us to encourage our most self-destructive impulses, having a character who is hurting from the loss of a loved one, torn between wanting to love and be loved but also not wanting to be hurt again...

Look, I'm a sucker for this stuff okay?
 
[X] Plan: She just is like this
-[X][Gender] Girl
-[X][Appearance] Pale indigo eyes, short black hair and a lack of height.
-[X][Origin] Insanity - Well, hold on now. No deep-seated trauma, no horrible backstory, nothing but an ordinary school life? You… You're just like this, aren't you. You were born this way. Without fear or empathy or guilt. You have a fascination with the dangerous and the disturbing. You don't understand your fellow humans, at least not naturally. You look out for yourself, pursuing practicality no matter what. You don't flinch from violence, possibly even revel in it. In all honesty, I couldn't ask for a better pawn. It's almost like you're not human at all. (Might 10, Skill 5, Intellect 7, Empathy 1, Soul 3)
-[X][Sin] Envy +10 Intellect
-[X][Club] Sports: +3 Might, +2 Skill
-[X][Club] Theater: +5 Empathy
-[X][Name] Hotaru Testarossa

Going very much into the psychopath angle of Insanity.
Also, Soul is OPPLZNERF, but that fits the genre
[X] Plan: I will punch you.
[X] Plan: Weird and Wild
[X] Plan: I WILL PUNCH YOU. TO DEATH.
[X] Plan: Insane? No, I just want it all!

For Indoctrination, it's obviously great if you wanna go the evil route! But it's also great fun if you wanna go good and learn how to person properly. Get deprogrammed! Try ice cream! Be socially awkward and adorable! I also have some ideas that would provide some great dramatic irony.

But that would leave us at the risk of getting redeemed, and we wouldn't want that, would we?

Flaw: Where's Your Motivation? (Your boost from Sloth for each skill only lasts until you roll your first success using that skill(s), after which you lose the boost for that skill until the next day. This does not affect your total health or mana.)

Every roll made in this quest will use a d100 plus the relevant stat or stats against a DC that determines the difficulty of the action. If the result falls within ten short of the DC, you will partially succeed or succeed with a penalty of some sort. For example, failing within ten for an attack will lead to half damage.

Because it could be relevant if there's an upset in the votes, is a success for Sloth just anything that beats the DC @RexHeller, or could a partial count under some circumstances?
 
Now this is interesting, waaaay to late to add a plan to the table soooo..
[X] Plan The Power of Love IT'S LUST!
ITs going to be interesting to see how this all goes thanks to the previous votes, maybe we will end with a more wholesome Gushing About Magical Girls?........*snort* nope, sorry couldnt keep a straight face, we are going straight to HFIL (hope they have internet) (And if so we hqve to make sure to drag ~Leader sama~ down with us)
 
Nice! So Sloth basically doubles the base range for a partial success too, since the +10 bonus would turn something 20 under the DC into 10 under. And turning a failure into a partial success that way doesn't even consume the +10 bonus for that stat, since a partial success means the final number still doesn't beat the DC.
 
You know what would be really fitting?
The Starscream plan winning at the last moment, because stealing the top place is exactly what he would do.
 
@RexHeller while there is a bit of intentional obfuscation around these choices and it's probably something that will be answered later, I would like to know if the ??? options are personality-related or not.

Starscream would try to take the top spot, then fumble at something mundane and scamper back to wait for a better opportunity. Or in the context of this vote, alternate between a sudden lead from nowhere and getting left completely in the dust. Which is admittedly an amusing precedent to set for a character. It's a nice plan, though held back for me by the absence of a ??? option. I like mystery boxes, and Hope could be an interesting "virtue" to attach to an overly-ambitious power-seeker. Not taking one feels like missing out on something potentially very important or interesting.
 
Making one final advertising push for Lazy Idol before the vote closes.

Mechanically the +10 bonus to all stats means we can much more easily salvage what for many other sin would be a total failure into a partial success we can still get something from. And since a partial success is specifically when the final results doesn't beat the DC, this doesn't even consume the bonus meaning we can pull it off multiple times if needed, for each individual stat.

Characterwise, Sloth doesn't mean that the magical girl isn't going to do anything at all: both the description of the sin and the background of the origin imply that the MC will still be able to get up and do stuff, they're just really lazy about it.

Also the combination of Urban Legend club shenanigans with a lazy hidden magical girl who wants to pass around and play video games leads to a fun scenario of us ending up as the straight woman of the club putting out realistic explanations for everything, despite being an urban legend of a magical girl ourselves. We don't want to run around town chasing down every last rumor our definitely-not-growing-on-us clubmates uncover when we could be on a nice comfy couch in the air conditioned club room after all.
 
[X] Plan Magical Girl Starscream

We either play both sides to come out on top or become so annoying they team up to take us down. Either way, it'll be entertaining to read.
 
But just imagine the hilarity of the Big Bad, the Great Evil of the story, desperately insisting again and again in the face of ever-increasing evidence to the contrary that the L word of her clearly love-powered Dark Magical Girl is obviously Lust and no she's not in denial, you're in denial.
 
[X] Plan The Power of Love IT'S LUST!

The power gamer in me can't abide by Starscream's using Might and Soul as dump stats.
