Mahou Shoujo/Shounen (Magical Girl/Boy):
A magical girl/boy, is an adolescent girl/boy gifted with powers granted by making a contract with Kyubey (Incubator). The terms of the contract are that the Incubator will grant the person one wish, and in exchange, that person will use magic to fight against witches/wizards. The powers he/she receives are often related to his/her wish. When a magical girl/boy transforms, their soul gem would be on the costume somewhere (i.e a soul gem could be a necklace when fighting). There is a range of magic as its nature varies depending upon the girl/boy and the contract made. A magical girl/boy's power radiates from a special gem he/she carries called a Soul Gem, which is created when he/she makes the contract to become a magical girl/boy. Magical girls/boys are not invincible, and if he/she dies in a barrier fighting against a witch/wizards, his/her body will remain there and he/she will be forever considered missing. When a magical girl/boy falls into despair or overexerts his/her abilities and fails to replenish his/her Soul Gem, his/her Soul Gem tarnishes beyond repair and morphs into a Grief Seed. The Magical Girl/Boy then becomes a witch/wizard. A magical girl/bot will also die if his/her Soul Gem is destroyed.
The related picture would be the topic picture of this thread, lol.
Soul Gem:
A Soul Gem is an egg-shaped gem that holds a magical girl/boy's power. The size is relative to the amount of magical power residing in the girl. The gem is essential for hunting and fighting witches/wizards: it glows whenever a witch/wizards or one of its familiars is nearby, and it is also used to transform for battle. When not in gem form, it exists as a ring on the owner's finger. When a magical girl/boy transforms into his/her battle uniform, his/her Soul Gem also transforms and is located somewhere on his/her body. The shape that it takes is unique to each girl/boy. A Soul Gem is created when a girl/boy enters a contract for a wish and his/her soul is taken from his/her body, it serves as a container for the soul so that the body will be able to survive even critical hits in battle. If the body is moved too far away from the gem, it will lose its pulse and become lifeless. Returning his/her Soul Gem to within 100 meters of his/her respective body will revive the magical girl/boy. Accordingly, if the Soul Gem is destroyed, the owner will die.
The brightness of the gem indicates a Magical Girl/Boy's magic ability. The brighter it is, the stronger the Magical Girl/Boy, and the higher his/her limit for magic. Inversely, the darker it is, the weaker the magical girl/boy is and the less that magic could be used, up to the point when he/she can no longer use magic because he/she has exhausted his/her powers. The gem's light fades with each use of magic and must be purified by transferring the darkness into Grief Seeds. The cleansing of a Soul Gem also replenishes magical power. However, if the Soul Gem is unable to be purified, it will darken until it finally becomes a Grief Seed, at which point the Magical Girl/Boy transforms into a witch/wizard.

Witches/Wizards:
Witches/Wizards are evil entities born from magical girls/boys that have fallen into despair and failed to purify their Soul Gem. Witches/Wizards reside in special areas (note the background on the pic) called barriers that contain
labyrinths inside. Each labyrinth is a unique manifestation of the witch/wizard's subconscious. If left alone, witches/wizards affect humans in the real world by giving them marks known as "Witch/Wizard's Kisses" (another related pic other than the hyperlinked), which cause accidents, diseases, or coerce them into suicide. Witches/Wizards often spawn lesser versions of themselves called familiars that can mature into witches/wizards with time. The most powerful witch is a being called Walpurgis Night. The worlds in which the witches/wizards reside are a stark departure from the everyday world. The production design for the witches and their barriers is done by the artist duo Gekidan Inu Curry.
Related pictures:
Grief Seed:
Grief Seeds are black egg-shaped thorns created at the birth of a witch/wizards. Once planted, they form barriers that hide the witch/wizard from the sight of regular humans. When a witch/wizard is defeated, the Grief Seed that is left behind can be used to cleanse and restore magical power to a Soul Gem. Thus, they are highly valued by magical girls/boys. Kyubey is shown to consume used Grief Seeds. Soul Gems may themselves become Grief Seeds if the magical girl/boy reaches his/her limit--emotionally or simply by overexertion of his/her powers--and is unable to purify hi/her Soul Gem.

Character Sheet:
You start off with filling out the profile, which you just have to
post off in here, on this thread. It is as follows:
Name: (This is self-explanatory, I believe.)
Sex: (Female = Mahou Shoujo | Male= Mahou Shounen)
Age: (Can either be 10-16, meaning your OC is a child who will most likely play as a mahou shoujo/shounen in the RP, OR it can be 18 or over it, and thus, it'll be an adult OC.)
Appearance: (Give a brief description or you could post a pic (must NOT be a screenshot), just make sure to spoiler it, I'd recommend the latter.)
Personality: (This is self-explanatory, I believe.)
Background: (Give me a brief detail of your OC's life.)
City: (Pick either, Mitakihara, Tokyo, or Osaka.)
After you decide to become a mahou shoujo/shounen in the RP, I'll PM you a profile which will contain all the abilities and everything about your mahou shoujo/shounen character. The profile is as follows:
Type of weapon: (You'll be PM'd by me and will be allowed to decide yourself, but please pick a
type/kind of weapon (i.e: sword, katana, spear, bow, etc), but please make sure that the type of weapon will totally fit the character. And try to post a pic of the weapon too, for helping with imagination of how it'd look, or describe it properly.)
Color: (The anime uses
color coding, so pick the color that will befit your character the most when the PM is sent! The "color" includes the color of the mahou shoujo/shounen's magic, soul gem, costume (mostly) etc. Usually the color of the hair and the eyes are the color of the magic. Try to pick the color of the character's hair color and eyes... Lol.)
Talent of the Mahou Shoujo/Shounen: (Talent is basically the skills as a mahou shoujo/shounen, it helps in many ways, such as letting you fight almost without being weak while the soul gem is almost at its limits, or allows the OC to cast magic quite a lot, depending on how high the talent is, it'll be the opposite if the talent is low. It depends on the character you create overall, before you make a wish on the story. It'll either be; Low, Medium, High, Extremely High.
I'll be deciding the level of your OC's talent.)
Armor/dress/Garment: You'll be asked
via PM to make out whatever armor/garment/cloth that appears after your PC transforms into a mahou shoujo/shounen, again, make sure it fits the character. After that, I'll give it a special effect, which won't be too beneficial, at least, not all the time.)
Abilities: (You'll be told how many abilities your character will have, it is still undecided whether you get to make abilities for your own OC or not, the number of abilities depends on the level of talent. Low: 2 abilities | Medium: 3 abilities | High: 4 | Extremely high: 5)
Special ability: (This will be a special ability, which is most of the time, a supporting ability, or its simply a very unique and useful ability, which will depend on the kind of wish your OC make.)

Although it has quickly became a rumor that she left an academy where all the weather students study and transferred to Mitakihara high school, a month ago.
She had never made many friends throughout her life, after transferring to Mitakihara high school, people gathered around her everyday, and they'd follow around her as well, and she felt that they were her friends and hung around with them for shopping, karaoke, etc, and were happy, but then she realized soon that they were either just attracted to the mysterious air about her or just wanted use her money in whatever ways possible, and so she doesn't pay much attention to them anymore and has started to become distant, thus, she's lonely.

Personality:
Kind, easily embarrassed, and a bit neurotic.
Background:
Despite being sickly since her birth, Menolly grew up curious of the world and its workings. Her mother had been insane for as long as either she or her elder sister Yuiko could remember; and because of this, Yuiko took the responsibility of basically raising the younger of the two siblings. When she was old enough to take care of herself without much worry, she urged Yuiko to follow her dreams of becoming an idol in Tokyo. Instead of music, though, her sister found her calling in modeling. Menolly found love in stars, smiles, and music, in her sister's place. Doing her best to take care of her practically comatose mother, Menolly went to middle school, went to her part-time job, bought a guitar and found a little bit of happiness to call her own in a life that she's basically given up for her family. Now that her mother has passed away and her sister still in Tokyo, she doesn't know what to do with herself and spends her days writing music, stargazing, and trying to make everyone she can happy. Her motto is, "If I can make at least one person smile today, then it's a good day!"
