Rules

No cosplays. Your magical girl can be based on a concept, but should not be a specific individual. The only exception to this is heroes, legends, and myths. The older the concept the better the chance you have of it being accepted.

Do not purposely make your magic form mirror or duplicate a major pre-existing girl from RL comics or cartoons. If what you are making seems like simply a renamed cosplay then it may be denied and you will be issued a warning.

We do not limit theme choices. If players want 10 Thor themed magic girls running around, so be it.

Though theme duplication is not limited aliases are. Once someone is named Thor the next one will have to use a different name.

Do not include picture references ever. If we need something clarified we can look it up. These characters should be UNIQUE. Not the same character you have in 13 other shops and not something you saw somewhere else.

When in doubt we love vague concepts that let the artist go crazy.

Themes and Concepts

We do not limit theme choices. If players want 5+ Thor themed magic girls run around so be it.

Though theme duplication is not limited aliases are. Once someone is named Thor the next one will have to use a different name. There would be IC consequences to alias duplication.

A magical form is a big part of your character. They need to be able to proudly run around with whatever their theme or aspect is. Don't make your concept so stupid or shameful the character would not admit to being it.

Aspects

When choosing an Aspect make sure it is useful to some degree. A character needs to be able to survive the dangers of chompas and N-Aspects somehow. An Aspect needs to either be useful in combat or useful enough that others would protect you in exchange for access to the unoffensive abilities (two good examples of this is healing or buffing).

If using an Aspect that is not listed please make it only 1 word.

If an aspect is too specific or just a reworded version of another Aspect we may request it be changed to the standard version. A drizzle Aspect would be upgraded to rain, water, or storm for example.

Form Guide

Here is what the custom form looks like. If you don't want to design an element of the character then leave that section blank. Here is a copy of the form with an explanation of what each section means:

Cert info:
Username: (this is you)
Name: (of your pet, be sure to include a last name too)
Alias: (their magical girl/boy name)
Sex: (gender)
Aspect: (their 'element' more info HERE) - Needs to be one word.

Weaknesses: (in 3-6 words or less; LIST your kids shortcomings, fears, things they struggle with etc. This should NOT be a sentence.) - this should reflect their personality

Physical:
---PLEASE NOTE: Lural is ok with pictures if you can't describe a style, but you should try typing it up first. If you honestly cannot word it, then throw a picture in along with the description. But do not rip off existing characters either from a show/anime/game/other shop. general hair refs are ok, accessories, or a strange style of clothing. But don't show me wedding peach and go "I want it to look like Momoko, but it's not a cosplay." (Lural will smack you with a tuna sandwich)---
