0.1 A Not So Long Monologue About The New World

The inevitable reveal of magic to the public came hand in hand with the growing popularity of the internet. It had been attempted many times throughout the centuries, always squashed by vigilant magic users with liberal use of various types of memory-altering abilities.
It became harder to do so in the last few decades with the advent of public portable video recording methods. Having many fingers deep into the media pies made it difficult, but doable and even those that made it through were seen as hoaxes or conspiracies, much like those who had made it through the cracks for the ages that the practice had been done.
The incident that finally tipped the scales and made it impossible to do a mass memory wipe, because a video of it made it to the internet before the long process was completed, was caused by a billionaire called Thaddeus Lerringway in early September of 2001. The man had contracted a team of magic users to go to Hades' realm to steal as much treasure as they could. Naturally they failed, but much more troubling than their failure was the fact that they escaped with Cerberus on their heels.
Unfortunately, their escape route led them through the Acheron river towards Athens, which only attracted more eyes to the hunt of the thieves.
Luckily for the locals, a different group of magic users was nearby and capable enough to subdue the hound of Hades before the casualties became too severe.
Normally even an incident such as this would have been swept under the rug. Mass memory erasure of the last few hours, a sweeping search of any recordings and repairs of damages. But before the process could be even started a young teenager vacationing in the area by the name of Kurtis Lapann uploaded a short recording of it to the internet, followed by a myriad of pictures taken from just the right distance to be safe while catching as much of it as possible.
The recordings were spread on the web like wildfire, making the secret impossible to keep any longer, at least its existence. Many communities hidden in pocket dimensions or nearly impossible-to-reach places remained isolated, but the truth of the magic that coursed through the universe was unleashed and it could no longer be kept from the masses.
This revelation changed less than many feared, but more than others had thought. The lives of most civilians did not change beyond being able to see what had always been there. Most kept their heads down and tried to ignore it, but from all over were people looking to learn the arts of magic and their own mystical potential.
It's been over a decade since then and you are at the start of your journey into this mad world we now... No. That we have always lived in.
So... What year is it exactly?

Alright! Welcome to my quest on a weird ass setting I've been working on for years.
So for your character we are gonna need a few things! This is going to be a point-buy system with 15 points to use in total.
We are going with letters for how good each stat is. These aren't super precise cause they are mostly for me to have as a reference of a person's capabilities instead of it being something actively mechanical.
G (Child), F (Average Person), E (Peak Human), D (Superhuman), C (Awesome), B (Heroic) A (Epic) and EX (Beyond Scaling)
Since we are a normal person starting off we can at most have stats at E (Peak Human). Furthermore each rank of stat is 1 more than the last so G is worth 1, F is worth 2 and E is worth 3.
Second, we are going for D&D Stats for this so Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma. But we are adding one extra for your Magic Stat, which since at this point you haven't unlocked yet will be for how rare the type of Inherent Magic you have is.
As such let me explain the kinds of inherent Magic you can get!
-If you put 0 points into Magic you get the first of the two types tied for most common which is just... Ooops! No magic! Badass Normal is your way to go.
-If you put 1 point into Magic you get the other most common! Control over one of the basic elements, which are Wind, Fire, Earth, Water and Lightning.
-If you put 2 points into Magic you get powers a bit more uncommon, 2 elements or the ability to modify your own body in a specific manner (Be it hardening, size or shape-shifting or something else).
-If you put 3 points into Magic that's where you get to the rarer things. More than just 2 elements, Psychic powers and Animal Transformation (Can be a single animal for easier mastery or a theme) become your options.
-And finally if you put 4 points into Magic you get Esoteric powers! The rarest and weirdest. Think of them like Paramecias from One Piece. The sky is the limit as long as they aren't conceptual bullshit.
Except for badass normal which would be built over time YOU have to choose what your Magic IS. So say you put 1 point you have to choose your element. If you put 2 you have to choose either how your body can change or what 2 elements. If you put 3 you have to choose what 3 or more elements you have, what's your psychic power like or what animal or theme of animals you can turn into. And if you put 4 you have to choose what weird power you want. It'll start at it's logical weakest, no matter what you choose.
So... Let me give you an example of a character sheet!
[+]Plan Chavo Del Ocho
Name: Rodolfo Pietro Filiberto Raffaelo Guglielmi
Age: 8
Appearance: Little kid that looks like an old man (Use description or face claim)
Backstory: Little kid that lives inside a barrel
Strength: G (1 Point)
Constitution: F (2 Points)
Dexterity: F (2 Points)
Intelligence: G (1 Point)
Wisdom: E (3 Points)
Charisma: F (2 Points)
Magic: Esoteric (4 Points) - Ability to turn the inside of wooden barrels into houses
That's just an example, please don't try to make any fictional characters here. I just thought it'd be funny to use El Chavo as an example.

However, the elders of the family knew of magic since before the events of the day that the masquerade fell, so he's a bit savvier than most.

[X]Plan Putting the "Ink" in Incantation
Name: Belle "Freefall" Holiday
Age: 26
Appearance: A punkish woman with a thin frame, copious amounts of tattoos, and hair that seems to be dyed a different color every day.
Backstory: Formerly a very responsible straight-A student, the revelation of magic caused her to question her religion, which caused her to question authority, which caused her to question everything, and suddenly, magic seemed the only truth that could be confirmed. The only truth that mattered. Aimless and intense rebellion followed shortly. Somehow, in the aftermath, Belle has found all her relationships broken, all her bridges burned, and herself no closer to finding any answers to her many questions. But hey - she has a tattoo parlor now! That's something.
Strength: F (2 Points)
Constitution: F (2 Points)
Dexterity: F (2 Points)
Intelligence: F (2 Points)
Wisdom: F (2 Points)
Charisma: G (1 Points)
Magic: Esoteric (4 Points) - Tattoo Harbor: By touching a non-living object, Belle can turn that object into a tattoo on her skin. By touching that tattoo, Belle can either turn that tattoo back into its object or - assuming she has enough magical energy - create a copy of that object, should she so choose. (Objects copied this way are notably fake; even people who have no idea that this power exists will notice copied objects are not the real thing at a glance. In all other regards, the copies remain as functional as the originals.) Larger objects take up more space on Belle's skin, and if there is not space for an object to become a tattoo, Tattoo Harbor will not work.

Yes yes, I'm aware I'm not making any 'interesting' magic, but I think that we would have a lot of versatility and options with this, and it would provide more broader ranges of things than an Esoteric: Storm Magic would.

Originally I was going to do Wind and Water Magic 2 point magic. But then rereading the Char gen thing, I noticed three magics were possible with 3 points and went "Well, he's the STORM King so why not?"
Hmm, may as well, changing votes too…
[X] Plan: Bad Future
[X] Plan Storm King
1. This has elements that would help lead to the robotic Gunpla idea in the current leading plan and lets us start old enough that we won't have a PC that would most likely be led around by others. Unlike being 14 and an orphan whose probably been dealt a bad hand.
2. Think a PC having 'Learn Magic' as a goal is kinda vague but leaves room for development at least once we get past the soft goals and into who they want to be as they go through life.

And I have zero problem with a 3 point magic, so long as the magic picked isnt stupid. Its just the barrage of 4-point "supa speshul kewl unique" magics that grinds my gears. But this might be mostly a "me" problem and people will want what they want.
I mean…if said "supa speshul kewl unique" magic wasn't common enough for people to have then it probably wouldn't have been an option at all don't you think? It's not even like it's a power deal, it's just someone having natural magic that manifests differently from the norm.
It's meant to be a wacky world, having people who just do weird things with tattoos, bring rocking horses to life, etc isn't any more absurd as someone being able to call infernos or glaciers on tap.
To quote, one of the 'non 4 point' plans your voting for involves making robotic clones of things.
Shrugs.

You are mostly not wrong. I did say that this might mostly be a "me" problem, and its mixing with my aversion to just jumping 110% into the "unique"/"hard mode"/"special mechanic" that happens so often in quests. It "feels" like jumping straight into Blue Mage, Calculator, or Beast Tamer classes in Final Fantasy instead of spending time with Fighter, White Mage, or Thief. Ignoring the tried and true staples in favor of the hot new thing strolling in.
