Welcome to Hearty Grove, your hometown for thirteen years.

The sights include the massive park right outside the city council building, an aesthetically pleasing industrial district, a state-of-the-art medical facility and, of course, the daily reports of the twenty plus magical girl teams that all live in the city.

The best educational facility is the Future's Promise Magical Girl Academy, where there is very little want for luxuries at all. It has the best food, the best teachers, the most expansive athletics program, the most current education materials and right next door to the best hospital in the city. It even has an attached dorm for students who have lost families.

Welcome to Hearty Grove, the only city you have known for all of your life.

In fact, it may be the only city in the world.

Load Pre-generated character?
Concept: Reflections, Healer position

14 years old, born on August 10th, black Russian. (he will look like Simon from Durarara! when he is older)
After gaining powers, his skin will, at times, turn invisible allowing others to see his muscles and blood, his hair went white and there is a heat-mirage effect constantly around him.

Magical costume: white robes with huge sleeves and dark blue pants festooned with pockets (think Mousse from Ranma 1/2)
Emblem: yellow Mirror on his forehead (which is why he is almost constantly wearing a hat)

Best skill: Physics
Worst skill: Magical Practice

Focus in school: Killing monsters.
After graduation: Killing even more monsters. Find a way to expand the barrier.

    If Isaac is chosen...
  • Apocrypha
    • I entered the Future's Promise Academy, being the first male student to ever utilize magic directly with his own hands. Several of the girls I passed simply assumed I was the most tomboyish girl to have ever lived, others were staring at me like I didn't have skin at all, and a few glared at me like I was one of the monsters they kill on a nightly basis.

    What made matters worse was that it was a month into the school year so I couldn't hide the awkwardness of the situation by mingling with the other new students. No, by this time I was the New person in the academy. Also didn't help that many of the scientific community wanted to vivisect me to see what made me so special compared to my relatives. Considering that they still don't know what causes girls to receive magic, I frankly doubt they will discover why I have magic either. I still made my way to the auditorium, eager to get this day over with as fast as possible.

    I was invited to the podium during my introduction to the school proper and was asked to speak a few words.
    A few words? I had a god-damned speech ready!

    I cleared my throat and declared, "Let me be clear on this: I am not here for the reason why most of you are at this academy. I am not here to let mere popularity run my life like it does for many of the celebrities this school produces. I am not here to get experimented on for the pursuit of science; in fact being here means I won't be. While I was a bystander in a magical-girl-on-monster fight, so have hundreds of other people in this city and not one of them have shown a spark of magic. I am here because I wish to pull my weight, to prove that boys can fight the monsters that attack humanity just as well as girls can. I am here because I am sick of monsters rampaging through our streets like they own the planet and wish to correct their hubris as best as I can. I am here to protect the family and friends that I have left.

    I am Isaac Romanov! I am here to kill monsters, strengthen myself and get the education I need for my future; In, that, order!"

    The creator of Sleepless Domain recently stated that transgender magical girls are a thing, so they might actually be assuming something quite different.

    I assume that in your conception, Isaac is not trans?
     
    [X] Yes
    YES!!!!!! I was disappointed when the male option lost on SB, so having a chance to see it on SV is really exciting.
     
    A Sleepless Domain quest?

    A SLEEPLESS DOMAIN QUEST!

    You will be playing as Isaac Romanov by vote of 6 to two. Probably will update late tomorrow since I have to work in the political process tonight and get up early for work tomorrow.

    • I looked at woman before me, Helena Pierce -- the 'Great Ban'sidhe' -- the only Magical 'Girl' in the entire town still active with her powers undiminished at her age, unlike everyone else in her age group who were powerless. "I am Isaac Romanov, fourteen years of age but will turn fifteen in two months. My father Nikolai is a professional chef at the University, my step-mother Isabel works as a psychiatrist at Future's Promise, my older step-sister Anna is a magical girl there, my younger step-sister Rochelle is in Dale Elementary and my two half-siblings, Peter and Josefa, are at Haven Kindergarten. My original mother, Margarete, was killed by a monster nearly nine years ago and my father remarried about a year after that." I gave her a look... it was her turn.

    "I am Helena Pierce, and you already know most of the details about me since the media won't stop talking about me."

    I glared at her, "Enlighten this ignorant savage then."

    She glared back and said testily, "Fine." She continued with her normal voice, "I am Helena Pierce, twenty-seven years old and will be turning twenty eight in five months. My father is a construction worker and my mother works as a maid to the rich jack-asses that pay me to smite monsters. Now, tell me how you first discovered your magic potential..."

    There was no getting around this point, "I first discovered my magic a month ago when..."

    Infinite candy. We can conquer the world with an army of hyperactive kids.
     
    Actually, are mirror copies perfect copies, or are they just magic in the shape of the thing they're copying?
