The magical girls of Seicho

Alright, everything is found and happy and nothing has ever gone wrong ever. Don't look into it and ignore rumors to the contrary. Maybe you were you before, maybe you were a 40 year old salaryman, maybe you were a kangaroo. Your backstory before a magical girl could be anything. I'm not your editor.

Making a magical girl requires a ton of things, mostly dice or a random number generator. roll a d20, that is, a twenty sided die, and record the numbers. You will roll 12 times. Pm these numbers to me and your magical stats shall be provided. I love random charts. Anyway, the goal is to provide creativity so don't feel limited to follow my info exactly.  To start you off, here are two girls I made earlier that may serve as an example once you see the state your stats arrive in.  Here's a hint, they won't look like this.





Oh no, there's been an emergency and we need a magical girl, stat. So we grabbed a random schmuck and bam. A new era of love and magic. Meet Olive, a twelve year old girl with not much going for her. Meanwhile, on the other side of town, some schmuck picks up a magical deck of cards. Meet Chie, a fifteen year old with far better prospects in the future.

Olive The Divine Choir
Olive has more than just a precocious cuteness and the filthy mouth of somebody three times her age though, She almost had the body of somebody older too but that dropped to tiny as a magical girl ought to have especially when she's barely twelve. Olive's magical specialization is Empathy so she likes to hang around crowds and riots to feed off their energy to become stronger. She needs it bad. Olive didn't get a magic artefact weapon or staff or anything special like that, though she wouldn't mind a thick glove or some tape at least. She's a down and dirty knucklebuster who likes it up close and personal and won't hesitate to pull a punch or a broken bottle into a melee.

In her magical form, you can recognize Olive by her dark green ruffled and bowed gown in full lolita style. She wasn't going to accept a robe or gown, if she had to suffer being a loli, only lolita style outfits were going to work for her. Olive's tapped super power is Duplication and she can fill the entire choir invisible herself if she dumps all the mana. Watch out for the shattered glass bottle of justice when it comes at you twelve at a time.

With the emergency nature of her ascent to magic, Olive is quite resigned. She is a gifted fighter and is able to fight dirty like no magical girl ever seen before. She's also masterd a bit of nonmagical girl magical sorcery. Specifically, she's learned to summon minor objects from seeming sleight of hand. Nothing special or magical, just normal things like a pencil, or a rock, or a broken glass bottle. She can also ignore most of the hardships of the area around her with her Environmental Sealing so she could survive in space, so ha. Also she will never be lost with Absolute Direction and can find whatever it is she's looking for. Since she was recruited in an emergency, she's gotten herself a magical bottle as a boon that she can blow into and it will disguise her as whomever she needs to be with all the documents to prove it, at least for a short time. She's also fated for something, even if she doesn't know what it is and fortune is hell bent on keeping her alive until her destiny comes calling no matter how badly something mutilates her.


Final Stats
Strength - 9 Olive can lift a full 1/2 barrel keg. Party on.
Agility - 4 Olive can hit somewhere on a darboard from 10 feet away. Don't walk in front of her.
Vitality - 10 Try and stab her, Olive won't notice. Honey badger style.
Magic - 7 Olive can spray streams of energy at things if she wasn't so busy punching them.
Luck - 11 Olive is pretty lucky.

Chie The Princess of Spades
Chie may be average but she's got some special sides to her. Specifically the whiny side where she refused to be seven and aged up to be older than Olive. So she's an average teenage mess of a magical girl. Chie's magical specialization is an Oddball affinity for playing cards, though whether this extends to collectible card games she doesn't quite know and won't know until she gets her allowance. Now when Pre-Chie bought the magical item, it seemed like a normal box of cards. Now it is a glowing box of wondrous things that she still has to draw at random from. And the box automagically shuffles the cards too which is a real pain in the bottom.

In her magical form, you can recognize Chie by her long flowing cloak covered with occult symbols like HP, defense points, clubs, diamonds, credits, and force points. Chie's super special awesome power she can draw into when things are dull is Barrage, Like Gambit on a bad day, she can start playing Fifty-Two pickup with her deck and heaven help the villain or monster who gets a face full of exploding cards. Paper cuts hurt.

Chie's got some perky additions to magical girlhood. She has wings that allow her to fly. She's also got an ally which happens to be Olive. Chie is also rich as sin and has a pet kitty familiar to teach her about the ins and outs of being a magical girl. Not content with being rich and having friends, Chie has also elected to have Fake parents who love her and take care of her and an immaculate sense of style with the magical ability to always look perfect. Grumble grumble grumble.

Final Stats
Strength - 6 Chie is as strong as a teenage girl. Special.
Agility - 6 Chie can hit a bullsey on a dartboard at ten feet. 50 points.
Vitality - 6 Chie can handle getting punched in the face. Wanna try it?
Magic - 9 Chie can fire explosive blasts of magic even without her cards. Still wanna punch her, punk?
Luck - 9 Chie feels lucky. Do you, punk?



What this boils down to is that Chie has a perfect popular high school life and is totally an alpha girl with tons of friends. Olive is homeless with no money or prospects since she will never age and is stuck barely out of primary school so she has to live in Chie's attic and in return will buy booze for any parties Chie wants to have or whatever needs an ID since Olive has the disguise artefact. The whole lack of aging thing for a magical girl is going to cause loads of trouble for Olive, let me tell you. As is the no parents. At least Fate loves her.

My turn to drop the randomness I suppose...

Miki, the Vampiric Dryad
Miki...really isn't someone people hang out with a lot. She is eternally pale and sick looking, though still otherworldly healthy, and pretty underdeveloped for a fifteen year old. But she doesn't really care; she likes spending her time reading and in nature. Conveniently, her specialization is in plants, so when she talks to them, they actually do listen and respond.

When transformed, there isn't much to show for, as her outfit is simply a green sailor fuku. However she does transform rather rapidly, leaving no time for interruption. And when transformed, that sickly appearance does go away. The fuku does come with a nice set of leafy wings as well. Usually when transformed, Miki fights with vines she can draw from the ground or even out of her outfit and her own body.

Outside of these new things, Miki carries around a backpack that always holds lots of important items for her as well as a fanny pack that probably is a hammerspace portal. That and her bike always seems to be nearby, even if she didn't ride it to the location...In addition to that, she keeps her garden pristine, as if for some kind of ritual.

Final Stats
Strength- 5 (6 transformed) Miki wields the strength of a girl...who lives in the gym
Agility- 4 (5 transformed) Miki is not inhumanly fast, but who’s clocking
Vitality- 5 (6 transformed) Miki might actually be a vampire
Magic- 9 Miki could imprison you in the earth itself if she tried
Luck- 4 Miki doesn't believe in luck...but luck believes in her

Makoto the Blade of Purity

At first glance Makoto is everything that a "Yamato Nadeshiko" (ideal Japanese woman) ought to be: slender frame, fair complexion and gorgeous ebon locks falling down almost to the waist and trimmed in a hime cut.  True Makoto is also noticeably underdeveloped physically, but that could be written off as simply being a late bloomer for a 14 year old.  The reality of Makoto's existence is that being a magical girl isn't totally what he'd hoped for out of life at this point.  Yes, Makoto is a boy.  A boy born to a line of shrine maidens who have protected the Otonokizaka Shrine for untold generations.   All of them were blessed with powers after swearing an oath of duty to protect people and uphold personal purity for the sake of the shrine's patron spirit.

In the past the eldest girl from the family (nieces, cousins, sisters, etc) was chosen as the next champion, and a magical girl would lose her powers once she consummated a relationship or marriage.  Take that how you will.  The only snag was that the family by this point had no option left who fit the spirit's rather demanding set of qualifications.  Makoto was it, since his elder cousin had already gotten married and such.  At first it all seemed pretty neato - who doesn't want to be a super hero with awesome powers protecting the innocent?  Accepting the role, though, meant that he had to live according to those exacting demands - as a girl, in other words.  His mom had been a proud magical girl herself and previously had raised Makoto as a girl for a few years before allowing some leeway once he hit elementary school.  Most of the kids at school thought he was a girl anyway since he was a bit quiet and shy, had feminine features and generally tried to avoid the more rough and tumble things boys in his classes enjoyed.

Now he attends (through some string pulling) a nice junior high as a girl, dealing with love confessions as often as he deals with the evil entities he's sworn to battle.  Through the shrine spirit he gained the ability to craft light into weapons and tools for love and justice, his favorite being a blade of pure light to strike down the wicked.  Partly (mostly) because it looks cool.  Having learned many traditional arts in the family shrine he utilizes meditation and divination to utilize the more sorcerous end of the magic that his patron gave him.  

Battling the baddies is a lot more straightforward than dealing with day-to-day issues of being the 'pretty girl' in his class.  Generally he's a fairly helpful person who may not say much at times but is always going to follow through on his word.  It's a matter of personal pride.  Aside from it being really frustrating to play a role all day long, he doesn't mind it so much.. though it would be nice to do some boy stuff now and again.  

Strength - 6
Agility - 5 
Vitality - 6
Magic - 9
Luck - 6
