Magical Girls Moe

Okay, let's get into the nitty-gritty. When a teenage girl (at least 16 years of age) commits an act of overwhelming "Heroism. Selflessness. The willingness to stand up for what is right and just." etc., they are selected to become a magical girl by the Magical Girl Association (otherwise known as the MGA). This act must have put the girl's life or well-being in danger for it to count, but can otherwise include anything.

Once you are selected, you're brought to the Academy of Magical Girl Studies (AMGS), a school founded by the MGA that focuses on training and producing Magical Girls (in another dimension. Magic, amirite?). There you'll receive your weapon, affinity (which I'll get into in a bit), your team, and your training will begin.

Each Magical Girl comes with their very own weapon. Your weapon is your main magical tool for combating your foes, and can be summoned at will using your powers. Your weapon is decided for you randomly (at least it is in-canon. You can decide for yourself what you want ), and can be almost anything imaginable. Guns, swords, rocket launchers, giant mallets, staffs, fans, you name it.

In addition to your weapon, each Magical Girl possesses one of many magical affinities. Your affinity decides what type of Magical Girl you are, vanguard or rearguard, based on how it coincides with your weapon. Your affinity is also decided randomly (IC) and can range from the four elements (Water, Earth, Fire, Wind), to things like Gravity, Light, Music, etc.

For example, my character Aisuko Aikawa uses a bow and possesses the ice affinity. This combination allows her to spawn ice arrows using her magic, along with some minor cryokinesis. Keep in mind that a Magical Girl's affinity is tied directly to her magic, meaning she won't be able to use it anymore once it runs out.

Good question! Your job is to defeat the "Redeyes" ("Reds" for short), creatures that are born from the influx of negative emotions in human beings. They don't normally appear on their own, but when a human's negativity is influenced by magic, Redeyes are born from it. They take the form of vicious wolf-like creatures with razor-sharp fangs and claws. Most notably, however, are the iconic bright red eyes that give them their name.

Redeyes will viciously attack anything they can get their hands on once they spawn, so one can hardly expect to defeat them without casualties. Their strength and numbers depends on the amount of negativity that was used to create them. Simply defeating all of the Redeyes in sight is not the best way to deal with an outbreak, as the human who spawned them might unintentionally do it again. To permanently fix a Redeyes outbreak, the Magical Girls must locate and solve the issue of whichever human created them in the first place. Getting rid of the negativity in that human will destroy the Redeyes they created as well, while also preventing them from returning later.

Another wonderful question! Throughout your time at the AMGS, you will likely have heard the term "Dark Magical Girl" somewhere or other. Dark Magical Girls are, as the name implies, former Magical Girls that have had their powers corrupted by the influence of evil. Committing the ultimate evil act, murder, is the quickest and easiest way to become a Dark Magical Girl. The only other way is to be influenced by another Dark Magical Girl.

Dark Magical Girls (or DMGs if you're feeling hip) are extremely powerful and dangerous beings, some capable of taking on entire units of Magical Girls by themselves. They are the ones who manipulate the emotions of humans to create Redeyes. Like predators, they prey on weak-willed humans and increase their negativity until it spirals out of control. If a Redeyes threat is particularly bad, you can bet a Dark Magical Girl is behind it.
