The rain finally faded to a mist, then stopped. The hurricane devastated the city more than expected- in the lower elevations, streets covered with water reflected the sky like a mirror. In the days following, life returned to normal, more or less.
Except, reflected in the stormwater and rising hundreds of feet above the buildings around it, the Obelisk stood. Its obsidian surface seemed to be cut out from the night itself. Looking at it, it seems to move, reflections dancing in ways none ever should. The populace walks by as if they dont even see it...
And, stranger still, people have begun reporting attacks. Situations varied, but all the witnesses who managed to remember what happened said the same thing: the victims were attacked by someone who looked exactly like them...
Obelisk City is a forum rpg based on the magical burst game system, which, in turn was based on magical girl animes in the flavor/tone of Madoka. Each player is a magical girl (or boy, in this city) who, for whichever reason, makes a contract (for better or for worse) with an adorable magical creature in order to gain magic powers so they can fight.
In order to play, you need to make a character and get some dice (or a dice machine thing). This is a magical girl style rpg, so make sure you come up with some FLAVOR- make stuff sparkly and awesome. I highly advise reading the rulebook, though, as it provides some flavor and backstory on the magic and systems and provides the combat rules that you'll need to know when a fight comes down.
I will be the GM for this game, playing the adorable mahou shojou animal thingy as well as all the npcs
I'M LOOKING FOR AT LEAST THREE PLAYERS TO JOIN IN ON THIS.
1: felixsparks - Felix
2: SupahKiven -lilith
3: cyber95 -eiko
4:MasterBlade - Claire
if you would like to join, please post below. It would help immensely if you read the rulebook before making a character, but if you have a character idea you desperately need to make, concessions can be made. Also note this is the first rpg of this style I've attempted to run, so rules may be ignored for convenience's sake.
Character creation rules in a nutshell:
This just covers flavor, so you should read the character creation rules in order to get your stats.
PCs must be 12-17 years old. Either gender, but there must be at least one pc of either gender joining. Think of their families and acquaintances- the people (and even other PCs) your character has positive bonds with are a gameplay mechanic.
You need at least 3- one from common human feelings, one from common involvement with the world of the magical, and one from a friendly rivalry or battle-born cameraderie. and yes you can pick other PCs.
Have fun!
