This is a world where magic exists just below the surface of day to day life. Humanity faces frequent threats from the supernatural, or alien life, but in those shadows there are champions who fight for humanity. The Magical Girls and the Knights. Ancient lines of individuals who inherit great power and can use it to fight the darkness. Their precise origins are mostly forgotten, but the families maintain their lines and commit themselves to an endless fight, of which the average person is only somewhat aware of. They know these individuals exist, but only occasionally see them in action and identities are kept secret. They way it has worked out over the years, is regional 'teams' have developed. Individuals know the members know the members of their own teams well. Knoweldge of members of over teams varies. Knights and Magical Girls often fight separately as well, though they get close in other ways. The children of Knights and Magical Girls often inherit the power from one or both parents, very rarely one is born with previous ancestry having such power. In the past there were arranged between Knights and Magical Girls, though only the most traditional families continue that practice. Continuing the line is very important for both Knight and Magical Girl, though one does not always marry the other, and some has separate civilian and private lovers/love lives and rarely families. The spouse tends to be unaware of what is happening if they do not have such power. Parent trains child, eventually the child takes the parents place, though there tends to be a period of two generations fighting together, until the parent is too old to fight. Their enemies are of course aware of these bloodlines, though rarely know enough to try to target the families or the individuals in their civilian lives. That is the setting being set up to play here. A bunch of independent stories involving separate teams or even individuals. One could play one of these Magical Girls/Knights, one of the civilians unknowingly in their lives, or one of their enemies. The enemies potentially, demons from another dimension, monster from underground/the sea/aliens/even an occasional 'fallen' Magical Girl/Knight, corrupted by love, despair, power, greed, torture, or something else. Stories of love, lust, battle, parenting and every day life.

Before the first trilobite wriggled through the muck that would become Earth's oceans, the Ring Builders left us the door to the Milky Way. The door remained closed until we'd stumbled around the solar system for the brief decades it took humans to turn our tiny corner of the galaxy into our latest warzone. While looking for tools to gain supremacy over each other, the humans fumbled the lock open and discovered the Ring Gate. It lead to a starless, locationless pocket filled with gates, and like rats we scurried through. Warlords, rebels, idealists and zealots - every shade of human hope and ambition, from the most noble to the most depraved. You were among them, one ship, stolen from a corporation on the far side of one gate among thousands. You are, as many crews are, bound as chosen family. Interconnected lovers, some poly, some monogamous all bound to each other by affections. And the need to survive. There is no going home. Imprisonment, or likely worse, being uploaded to the cloud to spend eternity as digital slave labor, while your bodies are sold to the highest bidders to inhabit as repossessed vessels of immortality, is all that waits on the other side of the gate to Earth. Going through the gate promised freedom and a future free of oppression - now all that remains is to make that happen. We need a full crew. Captain, pilot, engineer, doctor, deckhands and whoever else you think fits. I expect to be more of a GM for this than play a character, so billets will be handed out as people request them. I'm taking inspiration form a lot of places on this - The Expanse cyberpunk, games like Eclipse Phase and shows like Farscape and Altered Carbon. The key point is, you're in this together, bound by affection. You need not be involved with everyone, but a web of intimate relationships ties everyone together every bit as tightly as the need to survive.
