Don't get me wrong, Fantasy's nice, and I might use it for a later MG, but given the intended way the two I'm working on...well, work, I think Mythology is a better fit for them.Why not use Fantasy.

Just remember:
What need is there for them? What about the concept is interesting? What narrative purpose would they serve?

Don't worry, I've got that in mind. I've got a rather neat mechanic for them that sets them apart from my other submissions.

I think if they manage to survive the year they are going to be a nightmare to fight. Also an interesting take on the mook master build, they have to hunt down and kill strong foes to build up their army.
Is part of Mirage Tactician's name supposed to just a black box?
Serafie's image is a permissions error.
The shared ability "Manifestations of Legend" should probably have a caveat that it doesn't work on the same opponent multiple times.
Why does a boy have a Growth Affinity without any explanation? Should at least give a handwave of some sort for that.

Yes, because that's how LostDeviljho's own guy MG had the 'Magical Girl' part of his name.
Really? I've reloaded the page a few times, and I don't see anything out of the ordinary.
That seems...reasonable, in my opinion. How about "This ability does not create additional weapons when a previous opponent is defeated again'?
EDIT: I've added this in, as well as a bit that says the ability doesn't work when enemies that are sufficiently similar to past defeated enemies are beaten.
I don't really know what the circumstances for guys to have MG powers and retain their masculinity are, so I'm leaving that for crystalwatcher to decide if he decides they're good enough to make Canon.

Rehost to imgur to fix it.
Due to the particular workaround used for Thorn Warden and his ilk, there's a very low chance he's canon. Possible, but low.
PM me and we'll talk about it.
Now I need to actually read the sheet beyond Mirage's name...

Ok, I've managed to fix Serafie's sheet.

I decided to make a Mirage MG whose more likely to be deemed canon.
I gave her two weapons to start with as a method to increase her survival chances, and I thought about giving Draw Strength From Fables a bit where if an Autonomous Defender affected by it would have two separate Existence Bonuses, it would be treated as only having which one of them was more advantageous at any given time, but I thought that something like that was just a little too strong for a beginning Ability.

You know, when you asked about an alternative to Myth as a non-Growth Affinity, I assumed you meant for someone who either didn't qualify for having a Growth Affinity or had a Growth Affinity other than Myth.
Is there really a reason why this one can't just have either Mirage or Illusion as her first Affinity and then Battle and Myth as her other two?
Pretty sure there's no rule saying that a Growth Affinity can't also be symbolic. At least, that's the reason why I chose Myth for all the Symphogear expies I did.
Mythology | Myth just feels really redundant to me.
Mistress fights and defeats

Mainly because I don't think that Mirage or Illusion really fit the "deals with mythology" sense that I need for my Mirage MG.
Thanks for pointing out the typos, I'll go ahead and fix them.

If you want a TPK I'll put one together for you.

"Red Rose! Deal with the snake!" You shout over the courtyard and the grinding noise of the enormous snake. "Everyone else, try-!"
"I've given too mush time for you to be clever, haven't I?" Asks Solar Radiance to no on in particular.
You shove of a sudden platform to fling yourself behind cover.
"Ohshit." Mutters Insight. Her eyes going wide as her face becomes the picture of perfect terror, still clutching one of the snake's heads.
The next leap Red Rose takes has the snake react in mid air, snapping all its heads away and leaving her to gracefully land on the ground. With a wordless scream Red Rose holds aloft her spear. When she brings it down it has the appearance of gleaming red light. Solar Radiance takes this as a cue to jump down from her perch, landing directly in front of Red Rose.
Red Rose poses her weapon at Solar's face. "I'm trying to save you!" She screams.
"I know." Solar stated.
A flashbang lands next to the pair. Another flies in, but they are in motion before it reaches the ground. Solar flows with inhuman grace, moving around and ahead of every motion Red Rose makes. In two heartbeats Solar is holding each of Red Rose's wrists.
One of the snake heads lets forth a stream of bile over everything, leaving a terrible trail of fog as it passes. Another drives forward, black fluid present on it's fangs.
The flashbangs detonate.
You howl in pain as the gas reaches you, every bit of skin feeling like it's trying to pull itself away from you.

Erase reduces Base Resilience by 108
Red Rose's Base Resilience has been reduced to zero.
Red Rose: AUTO-KILL!)
"That can't be good" Brilliant Key says from next to you, voice wavering. "Shine!"
(Brilliant Key casts Shine! Solid Core's Health has been Reset to max, and her body modifiers have been negated!)
The flash blindness and blurriness from the gas clears up, you can see again.
All the stone in the courtyard has crumbled into pebbles around you. Only Gabriel remains recognizable, curled up whimpering next to a small pile of rubble. Of the rest of Team GEAR only a slimy residue remains, clinging to bits of empty armor.
Solar Radiance drops Red Rose's body. A blackened husk is all that remains of the greatest Magical Girl of her generation.
"Goodbye." Solar Radience says with a note of finality.
Briliant Key grabs your arm. "Up! We've got to-"
The snake leaps over Solar. And the sky above you is filled with sharp teeth before you've comprehended Brilliant Key's words.
----
There you go. And I didn't even have Lunar attack herself to do it. Just Solar using Solar Skill to mess everything up, and no one interrupting because they don't want to hit Red Rose. If you want to use this as a "I deserved a TPK" medal I wouldn't argue.
As an aside, any news on the update?

I was busy today, but I have all day tomorrow free to heckle Crys.As an aside, any news on the update?
The only way a TPK could happen is if Nepgear explodes.

Nepgear is in the party.
A Total Party Kill means everyone in the party is dead.
Therefore if a Total Party Kill occurred, Nepgear exploded.
I cut right before she got eaten by doom snek with her "save-from-death" used up. She's meant to explode.
If you mean "This could never happen as described, but Nepgear going pop would kill everything...", just say so. (My other idea for TPK was Red Rose getting fed up and killing Solar, then snek, then Lunar ("She wouldn't want to live without her"), and finally Nepgear ("This is your fault" *Boom*). (No I don't think Red Rose would react well to either of these two dying, why do you ask?))
I did? "The only way a TPK could happen is if Nepgear explodes."
- Location
- UTC -6
Which can be interpreted as either; "Nepgear exploding is the only event that would lead to everyone dying", or as, "it's not a TPK until Nepgear dies".
The first is a clarification that I've gotten things wrong, the second is taunting tautology that is self-evidently true.

It's the former, to be clear.
...The only way a TPK could happen is if Nepgear explodes.
There, all official to indicate that this is clarification, not a taunt.

And does anyone know that Nepgear will cause a big boom if she ever kisses that one girl?
