Revision as of 10:00, 13 July 2015

Hi. This page contains a WIP proposal for review only. This is not the actual Prism Aegis theme page.

Introduction

The Prism Keepers--as well as the villains they are destined to fight--have not always been a part of reality. They do not come from a great kingdom, long destroyed, or a cosmic feud that spans millennia. In fact, not so long ago, the Prism Keepers were simply the fantasy of a young girl and her friends.

It would have remained that way, were it not for the mysterious forces that forced their imaginary game to become reality.

Each Prism Keeper is a girl from the ages of eight to twelve who possess the power of a certain color of the rainbow, in addition to Pink, which was added in by Mei only because her mother forced her to let her little sister Momo play with her. Together, these young children must stop the forces that seek to drain all color and life from the world.

Making a Prism Keeper

This section is intended as a basic primer on what a Prism Keeper character looks like.

Biography

Most of the Prism Keepers are of roughly the same age (10) and grade (4), in addition to being students at the same school (Seishou Public School). This is due both to IC circumstances and meant as an OOC means of fostering RP between various members of the theme. Some of us run mundane school RP scenes for character building within the group, so it's recommended that you be a student at Seishou Public School's Elementary Section, if not a part of Mei's extended social circle. Your age and grade might vary, but at this time, we're asking that you stay between the ages of 8 and 12 and grades 2 through 6.

There is some leeway here, though. What ties the Prism Keepers together is not only age or friendship, even if most of them belong to a single circle of friends. The common bond that all of them share is that, at one time or another, every person destined to be a Prism Keeper (even the villains) was involved in the then-imaginary Prism Keeper games that Mei and her friends played in the past. They might have played with her all the time, or they could have played with her only once. This means that, if you really desire it, your character doesn't have to be directly connected to Seishou or to Mei and her immediate circle of friends.

Emotional Themes

The Prism Aegis setting can be considered to be "middle of the road" in terms of emotional intensity. Like many conventional magical girls themes, there are overarching emotional themes of hope, friendship, and growth. And while the protagonists might face despair, or occasionally give into it, they are eventually pulled back into the light by the actions of those they care for.

However, the theme is not without its darkness. The Prism Keepers are typically normal girls before their Awakening, with no prior exposure to either magic or combat. Many of them also take some time to get fully comfortable and skilled with their abilities. As a result, being a magical girl is hard for some of them, and the theme doesn't sugarcoat the danger and difficulty involved in their task. Though exceptions might exist, Prism Keepers, especially early on, can possibly face fear, uncertainty, and regret.

However, there are limits to that. This is not an ultraviolent setting or one which kills its characters lightly.

Character Themes

The Prism Keepers are ultimately children.
