Broken Reflections - A Modern Magical Guy/Girl Game (LGBTQ+ Friendly)

[Amarlo]

Amarlo, you have exquisitte taste!  :) 

^^ Thank you! But are we talking the fc or the weapon? xD Either way, I adore both!

And nice choice weapon wise, Amarlo. I have a fondness for chain weapons of all types. *grin* Definitely some interesting variety so far, which I'm thrilled to see.

I'm glad you like it. ;D My mother is a black belt with the manrikigusari (even though they're illegal in most states these days). Originally I thought to go with those, but then I changed my mind because the meteor hammer is super freaking cool and probably easier for me to write and be badass with. It also sits really nicely directly between both my mother and my father's fighting styles. ^^;

[Gannameade]

That sounds awesome Amarlo.

[Amarlo]

While it is indeed awesome, it came with some hardships as well. Lmfao. In the end I can certainly say I'm a survivor. xD

@Xurtan - I have a few setting questions.

1. I know you've stated that the island is near Australia, but culturally how would you describe the general population?
2. How large is the Island? How big is the population? Is there a single city? A couple of cities? Is it part of a larger sovereignty?
3. Is the high school a public school? A religious institution? A military one?

[Crash]

I have been avoiding a second game but this sounds like a lot of fun.

I knew I read some answers somewhere! (First paragraph lel)

The year was 2024 and although the world had seen wars begin and end, dictators rise and fall, as well as technological advances that shamed even the most forward thinking of authors of yesteryear, Mauri remained much as it always had. Sleepy little towns dotted the coastlines, and although there were several main cities the population of the entire island kept to a relatively steady 1.2 million. People in such locations are slow to change, and even now the newest of technologies are yet to arrive. Cellphones are not the beasts they are now, but rather the old style flip phones. Indeed, it is not uncommon to see a phone booth along the narrow paths, cheerfully claiming only a quarter a call. TVs are boxy monstrosities, and the internet still sounds rather like the trapped screams of the damned when it connects.

As for what type of high school Clearview High is, good question. Now I wonder.

Woooow. I feel real special.

I blame Xurtan. -nods.- Because I read all that a week ago and glossed right over it when I skimmed for it.

No, really that's my fault. I need to get better at skimming. xD

[lux89]

Lol! What Pigment are you going for? I'm digging Blue!

[Amarlo]

Lol! What Pigment are you going for? I'm digging Blue!

-smirks- I'm going to pick yellow.

Jk, I only said that because Xurtan apparently hates yellow

[Xurtan]

First of all, the Example Sheet is up. If anyone has questions about it, do let me know.

Secondly, yes, the island is near Australia. There are 1.2 million people. It is reasonably large, and there are some smaller islands nearby. Think similar to Hawaii in that respect, but with fewer off-shoots. Culturally, they're behind the times. Very late 90s, early 00s tech wise. Decently spiritual, and largely similar to say, New Zealand. There is one capital city, two cities of similar size but slightly smaller, as well as various small vilages and fishing towns. Largely, the island is difficult to cross. There is a closed down mine, but little in the way of tourist attractions. It is its own sovereingty, largely because no one could be bothered with it. It lacks strategic value and has never had especially amazing exports, nor the amount of people to draw in large import.

Clearview high is public, and has a mixture of cliques and influence levels. The rich kids attend right next to the poor.

Third, hello to our newcomers - always welcome interest. If you have any questions, do let me know. 

Fourth, Yellow is an abomination of a color and Ink agrees with me. So there. :p

[Amarlo]

-Snorts.- Thank you for the extra details. I'll have to remember to make my character wear all sorts of sunshine attire just for you two. :3

[Muse]

  I've just read the expanded setting informant.  I really love it.  This is going to be great.  I'll be trying to get a character application done tonight. 

  Question, what's the primary language of this island?  :)

[Xurtan]

Question, what's the primary language of this island?  :)

For the sake of ease we'll go with English, but there are likely pockets of people that speak Maori or a handful of other languages.

[Muse]

I'll have to tweak my concept some, then.  :)  Just a minor thing, but it was a big part of hte concept when i originally made it that he was a Japanese guy and he was translating the Wheel of Time into Japaense as a manga.  :)

Hah, that would definitely still work. You could be a transfer student or perhaps your parents are here for work, etc. We're certainly not the tiniest of islands, we might not have a thriving Japanese population but there's likely a handful of Japanese restaurants and general family groups. It's up to you, though. :)

[Bibliophilia]

Robin hopes there's a sushi place, given the access to fresh fish.

[Muse]

  Hee.  :)  I kind of like that modificaiton! 

  His family owns a sushi resteraunt!  :) 

[Muse]

*Grins* B oth, and that sounds awesome. 

I hope it's not too stereotypical to go with a katana?  :) 

I mean, from the kendo club before he moved here, Arima actually knowes how to use it. 

[Muse]

  I'm writing a character history here and I'm wondering if it's too Emo... 

[lux89]

Mine's such an emo char history too... heck, the title's "Broken Reflections" so that's to be expected ;)

[Bibliophilia]

Robin's is not too bad.  -giggles.-  He's just a little weird.

[Amarlo]

@Xurg - Do they have to wear uniforms for school? <.< -seems hopeful.-

Also, it might have been addressed already and I just happened to miss it, but will the PCs already have access to their shard? I know they don't have access to those powers yet, but I'm a little uncertain about the shard part.

[Crash]

Tempted to make a strong girl with a tetsubo or go the opposite with nerdy girl with throwing knives.

[Xurtan]

Hah, read my example sheet up next to where chargen starts. Oliver isn't sunshine and daisies either. We're more Madoka than Sailor Moon.

And no, the Shards will be picked up pretty much in the first scene but they won't have access to them just yet. Various ideas on how it'll go specifically, but that'll change depending on how many people we end up with and such.

Also just due to FC memes and how much easier it is to show fashion in a photo no, no uniforms.

Tetsubo or throwing knives are both a lot of fun. Either would likely fit well. :)

[Muse]

Xurtan, you said you wanted hte character sheet PMedto you.  is it permisable to share my character history here for people who want to see it? 

[Xurtan]

I don't have a problem with that. I mostly have people PM me sheets so they're easier to adjust and discuss anything that needs changed. If you're just wanting to show the history, feel free.
