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 might look 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 thematic reasons 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 also 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 3 through 6. Prism Keeper Pink is the exception here, being 7 years old and in the 1st grade.
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 (and 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 Tenor
Prism Aegis, like many magical girls themes, has overarching emotional themes of hope, friendship, and growth. So while characters might face darkness and despair, and might even temporarily succumb to those things, they are eventually pulled back into the light by the actions and feelings of those they care for.
However, being a magical girl is dangerous and difficult work. This is especially true for the Prism Keepers, most of whom are normal girls with no experience with combat or magic before their Awakening. They can potentially feel as much fear, doubt, and regret as anybody else in their circumstances. They might even face injury while battling the villains threatening Tokyo and the world. However, even if the stakes ultimately feel just as high for the characters, this is not an ultraviolent theme or one which lightly kills characters, even NPC's or villains.
Still, not every challenge is conveniently resolved for the Prism Keepers, and like other magical girls themes, sometimes plot arcs have a pretty deep trough.
Character Themes
The Prism Keepers are young girls thrust into an unexpected and challenging set of circumstances. In addition to their magical challenges, many of them face challenging mundane lives which they struggle to navigate. For some, the two intersect in strange ways. The broad theme of most of their stories is coming-of-age and friendship amidst these trying circumstances. Beyond that, the more particular themes of your character are entirely up to you. The Prism Keepers are supposed to each be a little different, both in IC abilities and themes explored, in order to create a more interesting whole.
Making a Prism Aegis Villain
Biography
It should be noted that, like the protagonists, all Prism Aegis villains (excluding youma like Shades) are normal humans that are changed by a dark power thrust onto them. None of them consciously chose their path. In a way, the villains of the theme are also victims.
