3 little gucas

Also think this'd work for a valkyrie meguca with a polearm?
[00:04] <Tangent> the cloak can change into wings?
[00:04] <Tangent> http://i.imgur.com/DbAn9kM.jpg
[00:04] <Wander> he apparently can't divide between IC and OOC much at all, in addition to a myriad of other issues
[00:04] <Wander> and yes, that'd work fantastic, I think
[00:04] <Wander> cape wings are really cool
[00:05] <Tangent> yay
[00:05] <Tangent> Also hmmm
[00:05] <Tangent> can I throw ideas at you?
[00:05] <Tangent> Trying to figure a character out.
[00:05] <Wander> sure
[00:05] <Tangent> Well I'm thinking she's a madokaverse OC
[00:06] <Tangent> (at least for the version of her I'm using elsewhere)
[00:06] <Tangent> Who was kind of her social circle's hitomi...if Hitomi was the youngest girl who was basically orbiting in the vicinity of the others, and who they let hang out with them more than anything? ie: not many friends?
[00:07] <Tangent> Then one contracted and the other, and she didn't get the memo.
[00:07] <Tangent> So she saw them talking about stuff and leaving her out, arguing, acting odd...and then disappearing for over a week and not coming back.
[00:07] <Tangent> One witched and ate the other one.
[00:07] <Wander> RIP
[00:07] <Tangent> So No-friends McWallflower gets a visit of her own from QB.
[00:07] <Tangent> She wishes to "find her friends!"
[00:08] <Tangent> Cue meguca.
[00:08] <Tangent> She finds the Witch...kills it, and draws a conclusion that's half-right.
[00:08] <Tangent> As in "the Witch ate them'
[00:08] <Tangent> Sounds good so far?
[00:08] <Tangent> Worried wallflower doesn't work well with the valkyrie motif
[00:08] <Tangent> but she'd have tracking powers and lightning theming?
[00:09] <Tangent> Since she...kind of wants to get noticed for herself but isn't vocal enough to do it?
[00:09] <Tangent> Makes sense/fits together as a concept?
[00:10] <Wander> It does, yes.
[00:14] <Tangent> But yeah, the valkyrie lightnign stuff works with the rest?
[00:14] <Tangent> Partisan spear as her weapon, that doubles as a javelin?
[00:17] <Wander> Hmm, how differene would her battle persona be from her normal one?
[00:22] <Wander> I definitely like the whole lightning valkyrie theme.
[00:22] <Tangent> Sorely, sorely tempted to have her either still be basically the socially inept wallflower for the sheer contrast (also in costume, it'd come over more as...stoic rather than just mentally going aaaaaaaaaaa, aka: a bit like Homura?)
[00:23] <Tangent> Or have her basically exhilarated by being meguca, having new friends...even as she feels guilty for basically enjoying something that killed her friends?
[00:23] <Tangent> either way she doesn't take the news about witches well
[00:23] <Tangent> since she finally puts 2 and 2 together and realizes she not only killed what was left of one of the people who'd been nice to her in their own way...
[00:24] <Tangent> But that she'd used her soul for a mana bar without thinking twice about it
[00:24] <Tangent> Sounds good?
[00:24] <Tangent> Does that seem too close to existing megucas?
[00:24] <Wander> I can easily picture twitchy, neurotic sort of lightning girl.
[00:24] <Wander> and yes, not taking the news well is only natural
[00:24] <Tangent> Yeah, twitchy probably fits her.
[00:24] <Tangent> But conversation wise maybe she just doesn't talk much because she tends to put her foot in her mouth when she does?
[00:27] <Tangent> Or do you think motormouth works better?
[00:27] <Tangent> Maybe shy but prone to blurting stuff out when prodded?
[00:27] <Tangent> Or something?
[00:27] <Wander> Maybe she tries to play it cool and calm but is really just sort of panicking internally?
[00:27] <Tangent> Yeah that's what I was thinking
[00:27] <Tangent> hence the homura comparison
[00:28] <Tangent> Combat-wise, between the cloak/wings, a weapon designed for keeping enemies at a distance...
[00:28] <Tangent> Thinking she's kinda kite'y
[00:28] <Tangent> Light might fit her better than lightnign but I really like lightning...
[00:29] <Tangent> thanks for the advice
[00:29] <Wander> I probably didn't help too much, but you're welcome!
[00:32] <Tangent> Nah you helped.
[00:32] <Tangent> Though hmmm
[00:32] <Tangent> twitchy...neurotic...do tell?
[00:36] <Tangent> Also thinking gunmetal gray hair and eyes, maybe amber for gem?
[00:37] <Wander> A bit like static electricity, maybe?  Kind of unpredictable, maybe a bit of a mess.
[00:37] <Wander> That's a nice color combo
[00:37] <Tangent> Hmmm? I like the idea but do tell?
[00:38] <Tangent> Also wondering what appearance stuff like hairstyle fits her personality heh...tempted to make it a bit messy?
[00:38] <Wander> I'm not really sure how to describe further, it's kind of just a half-formed idea at the moment.
[00:39] <Wander> Messy hair is best hair, but I do think it especially fits an electricity theme.

==========================

Hey ES
...I want one of them to have her witch have a head of dandelions.
A humanish body.
But her head's like this
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/54/TaraxacumOfficinaleSeed.JPG

Creepy enough? :D

"Of course, there is a long running folk belief that blowing out the white puffball of seeds that the flowers turns into will grant you one wish."(edited)

Thinking the meguca has a bright cheerful outlook and outfit? Yellow or gold?
"I want to be able to make her happy!" <-y/n

The Dandelion Witch

Maybe a chime weapon?
Or a magic wand?
The Dandelion Witch with a carefree nature?

Always wanting to please, even if you don't want to.

with an optimistic nature?

So she makes you stay by turning you into a Familiar.

or something more...sundress'y?
She'd probably have a yellow hair ornament lol

I'm thinking her hair could be described as "cotton wool hair"... :D

But yeah her witch maybe could...be a dandelion headed girl with rather...bizarre proportions?
Like arms and legs are too long? Something something her witch barrier is a sunny field

Sunlight based powers?
To go with the "uplifting" and dandelion motif?
Kinda a cleric powerset?
But yeah for her things going wrong
I'm thinking she's the second one to contract.
After seeing her friend become more and more miserable as guca?

So yeah her friend wishes because of her own issues.
It goes badly, she starts to slip.
Dandelion wishes to be a magic mood booster, which partially helps...
But her power eats grief seeds.
So she actually makes things worse.
And when she can't keep her power going, first girl /crashes/ emotionally.
Like after a drug high.
And when the corruption induced despair kicks in.
...heh, and all the while girl #3 is just watching from the outside and being kept at arms length

because by this point both of the girls agree that #3 will be happier not knowing what's going on
Thinking at one point they ask her not to hang out with them anymore?

They don't explain why but it's basically because at this point they're pretty much despairing and think she'll be better off finding new friends/not being caught up in things?
About a week after they both go missing: "I want to find out what happened to my...my friends..."
:D

>Witch barrier
"..."
Good thing "they turned into witches" is a major logical leap :V
And that QB isn't in the habit of rushing a witchbomb

"You wanted to be sure about what happened to your friends, didn't you? Enough to wish for it? Isn't this what you asked for?"

I'd play Kyubey as being honest with his answers but up to exactly what the girl asked and nothing else.

"You wanted to know what happened to your friends, Ms. XXXXX. That was the wish you trade your soul for."

"Fighting witches is often very risky for magical girls. But it can't be helped. That is the payment for the wish that was made, for all magical girls."
<-In answer to "...My friends...they were magical girls and...and fought...that thing..."
aka: all technically correct but implying they died fighting it

Thinking the first girl to wish...wanted to meet someone she could trust, maybe?
or something

Yeah need to decide what Ms. First Domino wished for
It's a chain reaction of bad ideas
Girl #1 -> Dandelion Girl-> Valkyrieguca.
Meanwhile QB snickers and collects his grief seeds.
Also thinking he screwed up
He expected both of them to Witch, but one wound up getting killed by the other instead?
Maybe because Dandelion Girl mustered up the willpower to fight despite QB trying to drive her to just sit there and witch out?
(And promptly got eaten, but died herself trying to save her friend with her limited magic?)
Or maybe the other way around
Since dandelion witch is too fun to not use

Was thinking instead
that #1 actually /didn't witch/
A tiny miracle that no one would ever find out about...
But Dandelion's magic and her own willpower kept her going on the last bit of her soul gem.
To try and save Dandelion.

it didn't work out and her body wound up in the barrier.
After dandelion wrecked her shit

The twist here is that Dandelion DID save her from Witching in despair.
Maybe right before witching out with her hope/happiness magic?

Thinking dandeliongirl has fluffy white hair
aka: "cotton wool" hair?

Ugolino - Last Saturday at 3:28 PM
A round, friendly face that a smile looks natural on?
Maybe a bit short?
Happy go lucky kind of girl?

While Girl #1 is a bit lean? Beanstalk?
Tempted to go for crystals for her weapon. Maybe a bit more...analytical?
Black and white outfit?
Deep blue hair, almost black?

Wonder what kind of wish fits that mindset?
Someone more...analytical. The sort of girl who's good at puzzles.
Also heh...the irony is that these girls would each probably be a good member of another team.
But their powersets kind of suck when used together.
You have a cleric/buff spec...
And a support/ranged dps.(edited)
No tank :V
So when a fight goes badly, if the support can't basically summon barriers fast enough and one gets hit, yeah that could be ugly and expensive.

And Valkyrieguca is probably the most self-sustainable of the trio
But still kinda squishy

but she has a decent mix of agility attacks/magic...and a powerset that allows for precision and minimal wasted effort
...Why do I get the feeling Valkyrieguca probably had the most potential

...Valkyrieguca is going to need to police her attacks.
Since her magic is actually stupidly high DPS if she spams lightning...
But at the same time eats corruption like mad?
>her learning to use her polearm/wings to cut when she has to

Girl #1, the analytical, more subdued beanstalk with a precise nature?
Girl #2,  Cheerful dandelion cleric?(edited)
Girl #3, Valkyrieguca. Kindaaaaaa bad at people.(edited)

 maybe-canon-if-you-want omake for these characters
with the police looking into the first two's disappearance
Crime rate is rather low.
Koushun is a safe city Sans the... Occasional disapparitions
Ugolino - Last Saturday at 3:45 PM
So two high school girls disappearing from a good school is basically going to be a major thing?(edited)
>rumors at school are everything from them running off in forbidden love to child trafficking to kidnapping
maybe?
But then, Kyubey makes sure common people doesn't poke to much on that kind of things.
And when he doesn't do it, then the people into this ends up running into a Familiar or another witch.
"My daughter's about that age. I don't know what I'd do if...Right, let's get on with it. We have a job to do. Pass me the files."
Hmmm. Girl 1's wish could be to "succeed", to pass an exam, or "I want to fix things", maybe?

====

a magical girl, valkyrie style.

If anyone'd be interested in drawing her, she'd wear pretty much this outfit (http://i.imgur.com/DbAn9kM.jpg) without the mask but maybe keeping the hood. If someone wanted to draw her with metallic, bronze-feathered wings instead of the cloak, either would be cool and fit the character.

Her hair's gunmetal/dark gray and somewhat messy, her eyes would be gunmetal gray too- she's Japanese/mixed race, and somewhat wiry. Doesn't really stand out too much in a crowd...untransformed anyway.

Maybe a bit of color on the tassels (maybe different colors like vermillion and cobalt or something?)

Personality wise, she's pretty shy, but rather neurotic and twitchy. She wished to find out what happened to her friends. (They died to Witches.) and she has lightning powers.

Her weapon is a fairly short handled partisan spear, like the picture. Her soul gem might be around her neck like the gem in the reference art, and have an amber color.
