So two big story groups and some smaller ones... Okay, not too much choice at the moment but at least it puts where all the activity is into perspective. : p And at least the stuff from the smaller stories would be easier to make reference to than anything. 

[SataiRolePlayingGuy]

Still don’t know where the aliens will end up.  Inactive characters may or may not do their own thing later on.  The new idea I’m considering would be its own thing too.  The basic idea of the club was people had a world to work with.  There could be characters doing unrelated things far away, though so far most stuff has been pretty connected.

[Gardsorm]

Certainly a fair point then! Maybe I'll take a Super Robot Wars-esque approach to it and have Souji be someone who has/had problems with another faction entirely before coming to the story here, bribgin him into potential interaction with other elements here. Gives me time to slowly flesh out the other side of things incase I want to bring it up here later on. 

[Warning]

I also think various factions of the world will not exactly see eye to eye. This is why Hellhound is not exactly friend with demons. She is not one, per ce. Shinigami is a death born fox beast and also is not all friendly with demons. But add aliens to that, it will put another force trying to take control with or without demons. The enemy factions will tear each others or something, realistically. It can probably be for any reasons. To seize control, to overpower, to dominate, to govern, to invade and devastate. Lenneth is also another faction.

Humans are very small in this universe but very many. Their numbers are huge unlike the few unique beings that appeared from different sources. Whether we like it or not, there will be some of them who turn allies. The superiority complex of some of them might make them do what I said above otherwise. Thankfully, humans have their heroes as well and they're stuck in this multi faction war. Endless and without mercy. More factions and species appearing only add to the hopelessness of trying to cleanse the world. It's a little fun...

Hi! I am sorry that I have been away for so long. I cannot wait to jump back into Emiri's story. I am just getting back into writing after having a lot on my plate for a long time. But I am happy to be back :) 

 

[SataiRolePlayingGuy]

Alright see about getting some replies in soon, over what is left of a 3 day weekend.  But first, speaking of Emiri, let’s get to that idea I’ve been vaguely referring to.

This one is going to be more strongly broken from the other stories and most other characters, because it is a flashback meant to help fill in Emiri’s past and relationships with some characters.

First a little background.  Mostly for Gard, I think everyone else has the basic idea of Alexandrine’s past.  A veteran Magical Girl hit by tragedy.  As far as she knows her old team all killed in a past battle (most were, the exception is Emiri, her sister, who she thinks is dead but was taken by the demons instead and now follows the last demon general who survived that battle).

This is an idea to explore a happier time in her life.  Shortly after that team was formed.  Back when she was 18.  It would be exploring what relationship the sisters had, what Alexandrine was like back then (other than being happier, I actually don’t know, will find out myself).  Plus Emiri’s relationship with her husband Hikaru (they won’t start married but may or may not happen quickly).

Existing that would appear in this are likely to just be Alexandrine, Emiri, Hikaru, Uomi and Zorn.  Other people are invited to join in, playing one of the other girls on the team, one of the other demon generals, maybe something else.

The other girls are very open to interpretation, to be the sort of characters you want them to be.  I never really decided anything about them other than the names below and that Ruby Pixi was the leader.  Real names could just be suggestions and maybe changed.  The Magical Girl names would stick.  They have been occasionally mentioned in the story.

Bianka Valencia - Ruby Pixi (Leader)
Ciara Shepherd - Holy Storm
Rina Zimmerman - Silver Soldier

Zorn serves the demon lord Ulburnus in this period. I would probably play Ulburnus and Zorn. But there would other generals too, or lower ranking demons that someone could play.  I never decided about those other generals, not even how many.  Complete freedom there.

This could be a mix of MxF and FxF, Emiri is only getting her first taste of FxF from the demons in the current flashback thread.  She is only likely to be involved with Hikaru in this idea.  But the other girls, Alexandrine and the three above will likely be getting to know each other intimately.  There could be other MxF things beyond Emiri and Hikaru, depending on who gets played, whether with some of the girls or maybe between the demons or something else.

Now this is a story that eventually leads to a sad ending, but I am thinking there a few years of story time before that day, and we can write a long time before worrying about that.  There is also the possibility of other enemies the girls have to fight, besides the demon bunch listed above.  They might or might not meet those demons quick.

I know a lot of our busy, don’t have a lot of time to write at the moment, but this is potentially open to as many of you who want to join it.

[SataiRolePlayingGuy]

I realized one other character that might make an appearance in that story would be Jumi.  But she would be an infrequent cameo, established as a sometime ally of Alexandrine’s old team.  She would be an occasional help in a fight or some casual scenes.  But back in this period, she would be young enough that she would not be around for any sex scenes.

The idea might not start getting played for a while.  Will give people time to think about it/ask questions/etc before any characters get made or starting too play it.

[Balthier]

I'm waiting to see what those aliens will be up to.

[SataiRolePlayingGuy]

The truth to that question is out there, or will be when I decide.  Might wait a bit to see where the major stories go, after the Shinigami bunch finish their current night and its aftermath, and after the other bunch get Catherine away from Azreal and figure out how they are going to do things.

My guess is Emiri is probably sticking to the current flashback and the idea I just suggested for now.  Though she is free to slip into Wanderers if she wants.

[SataiRolePlayingGuy]

Speaking of new characters.  That is the other possibility.  We have some playing going on the demon world, alien worlds can be looked at too.  It is possible the aliens could start on their world making the preparations, if someone makes a character connected to them.  Plenty of other races under the empire, so freedom there.  Also a possibility of a human or two going through an alien abduction and being interrogated before they leave for Earth.

[Warning]

I mean, if we want to leave the planet, I can very well do this. I am all for crazy concepts. I wouldn't exactly go dragonball route but highly powered alien races seeing humans like something to dominate is not too far fetched. The issue is, as I said, there is no way that everyone will be enemies at this point. At first, it was more like a kind of "Humans are the only friends", hence making my characters the only real exceptions because I like to toy around things a bit. But with alien worlds as well? It is becoming unavoidable.

[SataiRolePlayingGuy]

See where it goes.  Earth will remain the focus.  Off planet more as an option to establish the aliens and maybe some fighting.  Though the idea right now is it will just be a small force that gets sent to Earth.  Not friendly on arrival, but have to see what ultimately happens to them.  Not the first alien invasion force to be fought off by Magical Girls & Knights.  But see whether defeat means retreating to their world or something else.  If they retreat, whether they get chased or not.

[Warning]

I doubt they would get chased since, as magical as we are, none probably have the power to jump to space. But yes, I also doubt that someone will just visit for fun. A hostile first visit seems fine. It will give any earthling characters the chance to develop as well. Btw, I am not rushing to push any idea on that regard. it's just my excitement speaking. I might wait to give someone the chance to do something. I might still poke at the idea later but I feel like I have a good cast of weird characters as it is. Also, androids could be a thing.
