Setting Introduction

Mahou Shoujo 2 takes place well over 1000 years after the events of Mahou Shoujo 1. Obviously with the amount of time that has past the world has changed quite drastically. Alice Springs, the city, after officially declaring itself as a sovereign nation, named Enochia, it began to expand its borders. Managing to cover about half of the United States of America. This caused some tension between them and the rest of the world. However, not much could be done about their continued expansion, and plenty around the world saw the addition of nephilims as a positive.

And with Scarlet’s introduction of magic to the mortal races, a new era began. Magic and monsters became commonplace in society. The trials endured by nephilim was knowledge known around the world. With most people being aware of what an invitation to Cherub’s Paradise would entail. The war was also something the overall populace of the world became aware of.

Overtime the nation of Enochia’s numbers grew quite large, still compared the forces of heaven and hell their number was quite minuscule. However, in terms of sheer power, they were unmatched. Making themselves out to be a legitimate threat to the other two sides of the war. With this 3rd faction added to the war, all sides were at a stand still. Until about 100 years ago.

The angels put together a scheme that ended with Enochia being attacked by the main armies of hell. The nephilim’s army was too few to truly face any one side head on, and began a defense war against the demons.

As their two foes fought, the angels reaped in their success. Causing total devastation to the mortal races outside of the city. With no assistance and free reign of Earth. The extraction of magic and technological advancements was stripped from the majority of the population.

And that leaves us to today.

The nation of Enochia is next to impossible to enter or leave, as hell’s army surrounds all sides of its borders. No one from outside the nation has heard word of what is going on inside. Mortals are all currently left devastated, those who still retain their magic are now on the run from angels. Cities has begun reconstruction and civilization has returned to that of modern technology. The angels now sitting on top have discontinued the nephilim breeding program in the last couple years. However, a few individuals remain who have yet to break their seal.

No one besides the archangels and a few key demons are aware of their fixation on Alice Springs and Enochia. Whatever is causing it has yet to stop, and if this continues then there will be nothing capable of stopping the angels from the subjugation of mortals.

Character Creation

Due to this game being entirely solo, you can choose to be a number of things. Balance is not weighted against the other players anymore, but you are still limited in the power you can obtain versus the world.

Though as the name of the game implies, you must be female, and you must have magic. Due to how this will go Character creation will be in steps. The first of which will be deciding your race and it’s variant. There are five main races to choose from as well as variants for each race.

After you have decided that we will continue the discussion on discord.

Just as a disclaimer, no characters will be starting in Alice Springs or Enochia, though it is entirely possible to find a way inside once the game begins. But very unlikely you will be able to fix it’s current situation.

Everywhere else in the world is fair game though.

The five main races being:

Mortals

Angels

Nephilim

Demons

Cambion

Mortals: Mortals consist of any being that dies...and stays dead. They are finite, but a necessary resource for all the other factions. As well they are also the weakest of factions, not considered a serious threat by any of the other ones. Most mortals that still possess magic are currently on the run or in hiding from the angels.

Their relationship with nephilim’s is rather shaky. Though entry into Enochia is no longer possible at the moment, it is well known that the city is still in operation...leaving those on the outside feeling abandoned, but what they presumed to be their allies.

Some mortals as well have chosen to accept their subjugation and believe it is best for everyone to just align themselves with the angels and accept their fate.

Variants:

• Human: The most common among the mortals. Any human possessing magic is currently on the run from angels. Some decide to book it alone, keeping to themselves. While others have formed small caravans of other magic users. Seeking refuge and protection within their small groups.

• Witch: With humanity gaining their magic, on rare occasions a special individual will be born. Starting a new line of witches. Witches are superior magic casters well above that of any other type of mortals and pose a legitimate risk to immortal beings, however they must follow specific traditions and practices or risk losing everything. Along with new lines of witches, their are a few special cases of a lineage persisting through several generations. Witches are notoriously reclusive. Preferring to stay away in their domain, and very rarely ever leaving where they choose to settle.

• Monsters: The majority of monsters are considered mortal, and over the years most have integrated into human society. The angels have been a bit more lenient when it comes to the eradication of magic from monsters. As long as they refrain from giving the gift to humans. They were allowed to continue their practice in cities. There's a lot of different types of monsters. If you wish to play as one, just give me the type of monster and I will see if it is allowed, and what special things may come with it.

Angels: Angels are currently the top dogs in the war. Compared to how they were during Mahou Shoujo 1. Angels seek to Shepard and lead humanity into paradise. To do so they believe they must take away their free will, their magic, and their technology. They feed off the positive emotions of humans, and wish to keep humans docile and happy to feed off of those emotions. Angels weak spot are their wings, and they are also weak to dark magic that is possessed by the demons. Angels also tend to imprison immortals foes and shape them into weapons to do their bidding and gain their powers. Unlike the other races, angels are born with a single guiding goal, and they live by that goal. Any angel that goes against direct orders, will quickly find themselves losing their wings and falling.

Variants:

• archangel: Not to be confused with the top 7 Archangels. These are the generals of the angel army. Controlling lesser angels and in charge strategy and tactics. Used to a life in heaven, they are unfamiliar with a lot of the customs involving earth’s culture.

• Specialist: These angels work directly under the top 7. And have corresponding roles depending on who they are assigned to. For example those working under Azrael are referred to as reapers, and are in charge of all matters regarding the death of mortals.

• Fallen Angels: Unlike their nephilim counterparts full angels, with their lack of humanity, that fall tend to go corrupt. Losing their entire purpose of living, they seek to cause destruction and death. Their only goal is the end of all things. Typically they don’t last very long, and only the strongest survive long enough to do anything noteworthy. The most notorious being Lucifer.

Nephilim: The offspring of a human and angel. Disliked by the majority of other races. Being born from both they can obtain substance from both food and positive energy, however the more powerful they grow the harder it becomes to obtain energy from food. Making positive energy still their number one source for food. From birth they were bonded to an angelic weapon as an inseparable partner. In the past they were a rare occurrence, now due to the nephilim breeding program, their numbers have grown. However, the majority of them are either trapped inside Enochia, or working directly for the angels.

Variants:

• Fallen Nephilim: These are the nephilim that make up the majority of Enochia’s residents. These are nephilim that made it through Cherub’s Paradise and decided to join with Annalysa. Due to the nature of being fallen, they no longer possess the ability of flight. Any nephilim currently not in Alice Springs would have had to have been strong enough, or clever enough to be trusted to go on a reconnaisse mission outside of the city. Having lasted at least 100 years outside of their home. They would be well acquainted with the hardships of war.

• Angel Aligned Nephilim: Originally the star children of the angels. Treated lavishly and lived comfortably in heaven. This has begun to change as angels have achieved getting the upper hand in the war. As they are no longer seen as a necessity the original taboo origin of their nature, leaves them often being treated as an outcast in the angelic society.

• ‘Failed’ Nephilim: Nephilim that for some reason or another died, and have just recently came back. Unaware of the situation and the changes to the world around them. They are drastically weaker than their angelic and fallen counterparts and are often forgotten by society as a whole. More often than not their bounded angelic weapon is bound to another soul as well. Meaning they must share their companion with someone else.

• Sealed Nephilim: These are Nephilim that have yet to awaken to their powers. Due to the recent abandonment of the Nephilim breeding program. A few stragglers still remain that have yet to be awoken, and no one is quite sure what awaits them being left without their support systems.

Demons: Selfish beings who are the opposite of angels. They feed off the negative energy produced by mortals. Unlike angels they have no formal hierarchy. While there are many different rulers in hell who have their own kingdoms. There is no head council or large government controlling the masses. Though many work for the common goal of the enslavement of mortals. Unlike fallen angels they do not wish to end the world. They simply wish to feast off the misery of others and spread corruption. They are all their own individuals, though, with their own wants and needs. Gaining power and fueling their hunger is often a shared trait among them. A large portion of their army is currently attacking the Nephilim’s nation, and any of the demons outside of that are often confused why and are in the dark towards the situation. They revel in sin, and generally do not follow any moral guidelines. They are weak to light as the opposite of angels. They gain more power by feasting on their foes. Often cannibalizing their own kind just to get stronger.

Variants:

• Common Demon: These are what make up 99% of hells denizens. Generally bestial in form, though appearances vary vastly among each individual. Hell being an infinite space, and demons having no qualms about breeding with...anything. They far outnumber their competition. To make it big in demon society, you need to be cut throat and willing to devour just about anyone.

• Weaponized Demon: These are demons who were once considered powerful and a legitimate threat to angelic kind. Their form was shapen to that of a weapon and their souls were bonded to a nephilim. Due to their souls being linked to another being, many of them have grown a bit more humanity inside of them. Many weapons still exist being stuck to their bonded partners, while many have been released and free to pursue whatever path they so choose.

Cambion: The offspring of demons and mortals. As demons never had qualms with what they mated with. They are actually quite numerous. However, as most were born out of a simple lustful passion and then abandoned by their demonic parents. Most cambions go on living unaware of the fact they were ever one to begin with. They have no formal nation or aligenance as it is often just as likely another Cambion would not recognize another. Making forming groups around their heritage very rare.

Their appearance is generally indistinguishable from a human. Though most claim that they attract others very easily, even if their appearance may be rather plain or even ugly. Similar to nephilim they can feed off the same thing that both of their parents can. The stronger a cambion grows the more likely it is that their appearance will begin to change to one that would be considered demonic. Though they are masters of deceit and deception. They can blend into any society with ease. Like demons they tend to like to corrupt and indulge in their sins. However, this is not always the case and they could just as well be the nicest people you could ever meet.

Variants:

• Unaware Cambion: They have lived their whole lives without realizing that they are demonic in any sense. Living among humans, and having at least one human parent. They had no reason to doubt otherwise.

• Hell raised Cambion: It isn’t too uncommon for a demon to want to raise their child. Despite popular belief, Demons are capable of love just as much as any of the other races despite their depictions. Granted some also see this as a means of using their child to further corrupt societies. As cambions are the masters of deceit. Cambions raised in hell are aware of their powers and generally have the same mindset of devouring others to get stronger.

Things of note: Magic works differently for races.

Mortals - Have two types of magics that you can decide. In those pools you can run any spell that you fill fits into that ‘type’...so if you had cheese for a type of magic. You could make any spell that has to do with ‘cheese’. How effective these spells, how much mana, and what is required to cast said spells will be determined by me.

Witches can cast any number of spells and are proficient in two types of magic, that will not cost them anything to cast, they also get a domain where they can cast spells without mana use. Witches that are descended from other witches also get proficiency in whatever magic their mother was proficient in...or if they have a child are proficient in whatever magic they have.

Monsters as well will have their own unique traits depending on what they are.

Mortal magic can also be casted as much as they want. They have one big mana pool that last their entire lives. If you use it all, your magic will consume you and you will die. Each day the amount you can use refills a little bit, but not by a lot. In the case of witch’s their mana never refill and they must have a single offspring to not be consumed by their magic

Angels and Nephilim - Have two types of unique magics as well as their own common angelic magic. These will all get their own talent trees that you can level up. Nephilim’s will also get to choose one mortal magic, and Angels will get two more trees one for Holy Power and the other for whatever of the top 7 they work or worked directly under.

Nephilim will also have a weapon from heaven’s armoury that possess its own set of spells and levels up seperately.

Nephilim and Angels entire mana pool resets over time. They can only use so much magic before they need to wait to use some again.

Demons and Cambion - These will have three types of unique magic which can be upgraded as they get stronger. Cambion will also get to choose one mortal magic and have their own shared tree. While demons will have trees for Dark Power and whatever of the 7 deadly sins they most align with.

Demons and Cambion magic does not work off a mana pool. However some of their spells may have cool downs that will reset after a certain amount of time.

In regards to leveling:

Variants will level differently. Some stuff will distinctly start stronger than others. For example an Angelic aligned or Fallen Nephilim will already have most of their spells available, but their level ups would be few and far between.

While a sealed nephilim or a human would level up very often but start off way weaker.

Last thing: If you can think of any option outside of these races and variants and have an idea you would like to run by me, you are free to ask. These are mainly here as guidelines to help you make something that fits into the current universe.

For example a couple people have asked if they can be child of [insert character here] which would not fall under the variants listed, but is still completely possible to play in the setting.

And if you have any other questions regarding any of this, you may also ask so that I can help clarify anything.
