I'll have to second Crow's statement, to a degree. In some cases, random tables could outright contradict the main story. I would say that we shouldn't use them for everything.

I'm talking more about the general thing of Magical Bursts Fallouts, where in some cases, it just doesn't make sense for a character to just kiss someone out of nowhere, when they have no relationships with other people, or when a specific person such as a parent being there, directly contradicting the character's crisis, etc.

But then again, in those cases, we could just reroll until we get something that makes sense, so...eh, whatever.

Okay, Here's what I got randomly generated, the only tweak I'd really want to make is just using the 1 on costume style and locking 6 as a style (To get jumpsuit for the whole Kamen Rider image to work with the Hero Scarf accessory).

Because no matter how I look at it, the dice have awarded me with an escapee from SHOCKER.

Costume Style: Nurse Jumpsuit (Alectainote: And back to wat STYLE LOCK FIAT INITIATED)

I recommend that everyone stay as in-character as possible in the IC thread. No matter what.

Just, uh, don't violate the rules. K? K.

The thing about Magical Bursts is that I think they make sense... The basic idea of it is that magic affects how you think, act, and feel. This includes how you react to stimuli and how your emotions operate. Being suddenly inspired to perform an OOC moment that damages your social life is a legitimate consequence of being a Magical Girl in Magical Burst.

Okay, that's fair.
 
Seriously, I did the :V but I'm seriously considering running the Savior if she'd be allowed.

If she isn't, what about the Shinji I rolled a couple of hours ago?

Anyway.

Uh

I'm going to write up a backstory and turn this random hodgepodge to life.

Because this setup is just too brilliant not to use.
 
Remember everyone! You just need to write up your introduction snippets here where they'll be adjusted for approval! As soon as they're done, I'll make the IC thread and get this shit started. It's going to be so exciting!

Parents both work long shifts , and are hardly home, so they try to spoil her with toys and just about anything she likes. Sakura has a good imagination and easily made friends who enjoyed playing pretend with her. They made a whole world.

Then Sakura's parents have to move into the city because of their jobs. It's fine, since they'll get more money for their family. But Sakura finds herself in a new scary place far away from her close close friends. No one at her new school knows anything about her vivid fairytales. This proves to be a problem, and her mother and father are growing ever more distant from her and one another. Sakura soon retreats into her fantasies and games of pretend. Her parents are not able to notice and continue as usual unless Sakura's grades go down.

The girl she wants to be like is a now graduate, who won an award with a novel she wrote.

Sakura has a favorite character whom she would like to marry and spend the rest of her life with. He was first created by Sakura and her friends back when she was five, but he has gone through quite a bit of incarnations due to Sakura growing up. Sakura has decided to unname him so that he can choose one for himself. Once he becomes real of course.

Her best friend... Kobayashi Yuki, a loud classmate who was initially put off by Sakura's strange demeanor. Yuki ended up being paired with Sakura during an art project and found herself slowly understanding the girl. Since she fancied herself an artist, and loved shoujo manga despite her rough appearance, Yuki proclaimed that Sakura would one day help her write the most bestest selling manga of all time.

Kobayashi Yuki is dead now.

Oh what the hell I guess I'll actually give it a shot if there's spots still open

I'll probably be busy most of next week, but I'll try to do what I can
 
Okay, so, my character became a magical girl because a friend of theirs became a meguca. Now, would anyone want to be this friend, make at least a few of the PCs connected before the story starts?

Backstory:
Hotaru grew up in an average middle-class family, and is rather intelligent. In spite of her intelligence, she doesn't get particularly good grades, mostly because of her procrastination habits.

She is rather awkward, and can appear to be air-headed at times. She became best friends with Hino Sasami a few years ago, and just a few weeks ago, became a magical girl with them, in order to make sure that she doesn't die inexplicably.

However, just about a week ago, Sasami was framed for a crime she didn't commit.. And on top of that, ever since she became a magical girl, a strange feeling of foreboding has been creeping up on her. Like just around the corner, death lies in wait, silently watching for the perfect time to take her life from her body.

But maybe this 13 Oblivion Seed thing will help fix that? The tsukaima did say that it would grant any wish...
