SPACE GIRL MAGICAL☆RYOUKO

Soulgemmed was a Puella Magi Madoka Magica based game, where characters were granted a wish in return for becoming a Magi transported into a town called Nyoi-cho. The magi were meant to protect the town itself from Nightmares, but something sinister introduced them to the concept of Witches, and there seemed to be a more sinister plot happening behind the scenes, though we'd never find out what that is.

From her Acatalepsy app:

Ryoko arrived very shortly after the first batch of magi appeared, trying to fit in with the others from the start. It was difficult at first, given that she had no real experience in fighting or in using magic. In fact, she was being thrust into strategy meetings and Nightmares fairly quickly, and she felt completely out of place from the start. Still, as time went on, she became more and more acclimated to the task of being a magi, and grew to be reliable as her tenure went on, growing into one of the more passive leadership roles in town.

Ryoko as a magi had a few basic abilities to learn, most of which were defensive: the ability to make a 'Closed Space'; a translucent bubble that acted both as a shield and a healing circle, as well as basic restorative magic. Offensively she could summon three weak spears to fire off at Nightmares, and near the end, gained an ability to exude aura when she's mad, acting as a paralyzing glare. It took her a while to acclimate to those powers, but through diligent Nightmare hunting through the nights, it quickly became second nature to her.

Since arriving in Nyoi-cho, Ryoko grew to slowly accept the fact that she was more than likely not going to return home and had made her peace with being separated with Yuki. She had made a new friend to act kind of as a surrogate Yuki, but in the end she learned how to nurture and release a bit, though she'd still pine for days where she could act as a mother to just one person. Instead, she grew to be more of a supportive big sister to everyone in town that needed it, helping her ease out of her comfort zone and making friends with most of the town.

She's no longer surprised by magic, dangerous situations or really, being transplanted anywhere else. While she'd rather not have to deal with much of it, she understands the concept of having to do what needs to be done, and making an attempt to make, respond to, and follow orders accordingly. In that respect as well, during her time she learned to make sure to hold onto a fraction of hope, as giving in completely would typically lead to the end of a Magi's life.

Powers

» Passive Ability: Bred from Ryoko's wish, her passive ability would center around the need to protect whoever she's with. Subconsciously, depending on the level at which Ryoko feels that it's up to her to keep someone safe, she'll receive a boost in speed and attack power, but will be more likely to leave herself open for an attack. In RPG terms, ATK and SPD go up, but DEF goes down.

Being that it is subconscious and not a switch she would be able to flip herself, most of it will depend on her relationship to the other person. An acquaintance would see a minuscule bump, and a friend would see a smallish-medium bump. For that matter, someone she sees close to, if not on the level of Yuki Nagato will see her with a much larger reaction than the other two. Of course, this comes at a heavy price: the more time she spends feeling like she needs to keep them safe, the more she'll burn away at her Soul Gem's purity.

»Active Ability: Ryoko's active ability is similar to one that she might have had in another lifetime. She gains the ability to create a circular space with an 18 ft. radius around her, initially acting as a healing bubble that'll protect her and whoever she's close to from mild attacks. It only heals the person she's with however, while it'll protect Ryoko, she's completely unable to patch herself up with it. The ability can last ten seconds, before it starts to take a physical toll on her. The larger it is, the harder it is to sustain, and at 18 ft, it disappears at 5 seconds. It also takes her up to five minutes to be able to make a new one.

2/6 Update- Ryoko's able to channel magic into a few small spears, giving her a weak starting projectile to use against enemies. She can only summon three at a time for a start.

3/20 Update- Provided that she can get all of it into her closed space, she can trap and cause an enemy to rapidly slow to a crawl, giving her and whoever she's in the bubble with a chance to attack. This works on what Ryoko considers to be an enemy, usually a familiar.

9/27 Update Data Restoration: Ryoko can focus most of her magic into healing someone, in or out of her closed space, restoring physical health. Paired with her closed space, she can heal anyone in her bubble (a lot less than if she focuses on one person)... but it comes with an added caveat. She can also choose to heal herself only in her closed space, but if she does, she can't heal anyone else until the next time it pops up. As such, it can't be overused.

1/24 Update- Cool Edition: Depending on how angry or frustrated she gets at something or someone, Ryoko gains the ability to exude a terrifying aura that may temporarily paralyze an enemy. This can't be used in conjunction with her Closed Space. The aura is more or less effective depending on how scared they get of her and the aura itself.

4/21 Update- Space Manipulation: Ryoko gains the ability to distort space in front of her utilizing a weapon. With it, if she moves her weapon in a certain way, she's able to create a distortion that will either act as a pushback shield, or a slashing attack. It's upgraded in that initially, she would have only been able to use it as a way to deflect mild attacks back at enemies, a la her Closed Space. As a mid-level ability, she's able to use it the opposite way as well-- instead of creating a translucent space to protect herself or anyone she's close to, she's able to slash at the air and remove space, creating a semi-powerful slash attack.

They both take up a bit of magic, the latter more than the former.

I'm fine with most everything here, and I'll backtag until the heatdeath of the universe. I'll give fourthwalling a pass for Ryoko, let's not make things MORE confusing. Violence is ok, let me know though if you plan to do anything too drastic.
