Could I please get a vote tally? (By block, line, and normal)

Food themed clothing is a totally valid magical girl thing because it limits the color scheme.

And personification makes it so much easier than just using a few tags and hoping. The magical girl tags are full of fanmade precures even when using the original tag. PMMM and its mostly mono colored outfits don't help either, since most people are going to go extra miles when doing their own mahou shoujo. In addition, not every fit will be tagged as a magical girl.

Tldr finding good pics is hard but I hate expies for any reason despite making some exceptions. Also I had to delete all my pics over a virus scare half an hour ago. Rip.
 
I love the second one. It has my vote, if the GM allows it.

Magical miracle, Kyubey-girl rehost!



There's a pretty good Sailor Senshi maker flash game... let's see if I can find it...

Edit: Well that was easy. Right here:
Sailor Moon ~ Senshi Maker 3.0

Note that this is good for just about any seifuku-based costume, many dress or leotard-style ones, and can even do guys if you hit the "finished" button and tell it to add a new male character.

Yeah, it's creepy, but also awesome. only really works though if we're going to go the blood-magic angle... which, if it's our blood we're using, I wouldn't mind supporting at all, even if having anemia powered abilities would make things kinda hard...

That particular wish would let you cleanse people at range at the cost of darkening your own soul gem. Could be useful if they're in the middle of a spiral and refuse to hand their gem over or cleanse it themselves.

Actually, thinking about it, the wish can't be granted that way, because moving grief from two gems to one is concentrating it, not dispersing it. Probably we just don't have enough karmic weight to make that wish, IC, and as I said later having another quest with a protagonist using that power is plenty of reason to do something else OOC.

That's... not what would be happening. You'd be removing it from one gem, but it would generate grief in your own soul gem to do so. It isn't being moved from one gem to the other or anything like that.

    You decide that sleeping can wait. Kyubey came to your room and offered to let you become a magical girl. You. The outcast. The life of a magical girl may not all be sunshine and rainbows, but it could definitely be an improvement over your current lifestyle. You might actually be able to bond with other magical girls, for one thing. Plus, what about non-combat applications for your magic? Nobody says you have to spend all your time using your abilities to fight witches, right? Okay, some people do, but they're jerks anyway.

    You shove yourself out of bed, crawl over to your desk, boot up your semi-ancient laptop, and get to work.

    Barely five minutes in, you determine that your task is going to be significantly harder than expected. The news only seems to report the victories of magical girls, not their failures. You do learn one thing, however: magical girls are symbols of love, justice, and above all, hope. Close enough.

    It takes you almost an hour to find a forum that isn't full of fakes and posers: MGN, or Magical Girl Network. Another two minutes, and you've found a thread that wasn't quite what you were looking for, but should be helpful anyway.


    -----> Potential/New Magical Girls: READ ME FIRST! <-----

    (Original Poster)


    Hello, everyone! Sigil of Light here. I've tried to compile some of the ideas and advice people have had on this forum into one easy-to-read thread. I hope it helps! (sorry, couldn't resist)


    1: To start off, you should know that wishes are finicky little things. They seem to operate more off intent than wording, but that doesn't necessarily mean you'll get what you want. Be careful and think things over before you make your wish; there are no take-backs.


    2: Whatever you do, don't waste your wish. If you honestly can't think of anything else, a lot of norms will pay a fortune to have you use it to cure them of some horrific disease or crippling injury. Not to mention the authorities freak out a lot less if you do something like that instead of just wishing for wealth. The latter rarely (see: never) ends well.


    3: Your abilities are going to be influenced by your wish. People who wish to heal others are often healers, those who wish for friends might be able to magically make themselves more charismatic, people who wish to go someplace else could be teleporters, and so on. It's not a perfect science, but it works pretty well as a general rule. If you want a certain powerset, there's a sub-forum elsewhere on this very site devoted to trying to figure out what wishes will grant what abilities.

    I myself wished for my house and home to always be safe from all invaders and got some pretty nifty defensive abilities as a result.


    4: We're here to help! If you have a magical girl in your neighborhood and you're just starting out, don't be afraid to approach her for advice and assistance. We're all in this together.


    5: Be sure to get some combat practice in before you try to fight your first witch. People don't really like to talk about this, but there are two kinds of magical girls: those who survive indefinitely, and those who die within a week or two. Most of us fall into the former, but some people rush in and end up dying. Please don't join the ranks of the latter category. Like I said earlier, you aren't alone in this.​


    Well. That was... a thing. You notice MGN has a live chat; maybe you could hop on and say hello?

    [X] Realize the reality, your fucked if you contract. You were advised that most either die in the first few weeks, or live for years. Years not decades, not past middle age. Contracting likely means you will be dead before your 25.

    Hey, anything other than "I'll show up to your town and try to gank the newbies for their seeds" is a step up, you know?

    Unless the forum is an elaborate ruse to get newbies to reveal their powers and location so people can snap them up for teams / gank them.

    Orrr it's a play by the incubators for similar manipulation reasons, but I don't see why they'd need forums to keep track of contractees.

    Odd request, but okay.

    I'm mostly curious what the Incubators are doing here. They seem to be managing publicity very well, and that's getting recruits in the large scale, but there has to be something happening to families of girls who contract and then witch out later, yeah? Like you can't just have the girl not come home without someone talking about it.

    So this implies to me that something must be more formalized here. Maybe if your daughter had teammates they come and talk to you about it when she dies? If it's a war for humanity or whatever, you play up the war hero angle. And the traditional way to handle that (and allow magical girls to be more reckless and throw themselves into fights, which incubators seem to like) is providing some sort of compensation. Widows benefits are pretty big, or at least something token so everyone is happy and doesn't whine to their coworkers about it. The upshot is, breaking the masquerade almost demands that incubators be really hands on with new Magi. Specifically, they have to strike a balance between keeping enough Veteran Magi around to serve as community figure heads, and weeding out the newbies to actually fuel the whole grief system.

    This is doubly important because if the Magi are actually successful at keeping their teams alive, grief seeds sort of run out? It's a self correcting system in the long run, but you don't want your Mami Tomoe running out of seeds and having to die because the newbies were too good at things, or because she'd built a support system for them. In addition to the normal mushroom diet, you have to be occasionally nudging them into despair. I would bet that they have witchbombing down to a science, timing wise, as a convenient way to destroy your hopes and push you into a spiral quickly, and then covering it up. Unless you want to take down a whole team at a time, you have to isolate her first, too.

    So what I'm betting is, they want small teams to form, but not the Holy Quintet kind of thing. Mentor-newbie combos, where the newbie eventually wanders off because of hunting territory, or more probably because the Incubators guilted them about spending too much time where it's "safe" instead of defending other cities or towns or so on. Eventually, this would become almost Military. The Newbie gets reassigned, shuffled out somewhere, and then becomes a Mentor. At that point you either restart it with the original girl, or keep her around for PR. (Probably a specific ratio of how often to do each, there.)

    This kind of parallels what happened with Mami and Kyoko in canon. Mami was holding onto high end territory, and other magical girls were staying out because of her reputation. This is stagnant and not helpful for the incubators. Plus, as the girl ages and stabilizes, they may have less of a hope to despair ratio for witching out. So how do you fix that? Send two prominent recruits to her at the same time, ask that she train them, and wait for her to slip up while showing off. Maybe not a standard method of retiring, but it seems like the kind of ploy smug bunnycats would use.

    Also, you don't want to be too heavyhanded with manipulating people, so maybe having sockpuppets on the forums instead, or just using them to promote enough of a community that no one realizes they're being isolated, while carefully nudging Magi around in person? Still not sure about that entirely.

    I mean if you're being really dark about Incubator manipulation. No idea if this is supposed to be that bad, and there may be more fusion elements that stabilize things but I'm missing. The existence of small time mages (in the mtg sense) would probably be helpful for fighting the good fight.

    This is fine. I'm not worried, why would you ask?
     
    [X] See what everybody else is saying about that post before you do anything else.

    I get the distinct impression that the OP may have been bribed by Kyubey.

    I'm thinking she's a Mami type. Well meaning, but kind of deluded, and probably deliberately. She doesn't know as much as she thinks, she's just been around a long time.

    (Thinking she's been bribed by or is an incubator is also good sense, though. Can't really be paranoid enough until we actually get to know people.)

    Incubators don't lie though. she said she made a wish, and incubators don't make wishes. therefore, if she was an incubator, that would be a lie, meaning she can't be an incubator.

    That doesn't mean that incubator's can't make wishes about something other than same way as magi and lie about that though if you subscribe to that theory. A wish about entropy ending for a example.
