StatuoTW's Harmony Heroines vs. the Dark Forces

Title

Welcome one and all to the Harmony Heroines series. As part of my attempt to make a Magical Girl group in which you could have a proper long-term chat rather than just some coom shit that you're done with in a minute.

The Harmony Heroines are a group of Magical Girls that have been duped into accepting magical powers from an all-powerful entity known as "Baelstub." You, unfortunately, have the bad-news bears of becoming one of Baelstub's Overlords, specifically the Overlord of Lust after one crazy bitch named Vesper kidnapped you (she's been really cool about fucking you constantly though) and now you are in a unique position.

You know what Baelstub is planning.

You have power that was forced on you instead of granted.

You might be the only one who can stop Baelstub before he enacts a new cycle and devours the world whole.

Will you give in to using the power of Lust to make the Harmony Heroines your sex slaves and fight Baelstub while being as powerful as you can, or will you tread the path of redemption and try to find another path? Clock's ticking, Overlord.

Lore Primer

Some say the world is stuck in an endless cycle. Evil rises, Good rises to meet it, the two fight until Good triumphs, and then the cycle begins anew. They are, of course, wrong. The reality is that Good has never once triumphed over Evil. And no, I'm not just talking about moral gray areas for once. Every decade or so, the Dark Forces will return. Whenever they do, a group of heroes will rise to meet the challenge. But while Good and Evil will fight it out, the truth is that Good always loses.

That's because of one being: Baelstub. They orchestrate the fight behind the scenes, selecting those among us who are most susceptible to the draw to power. Those of us who hurt. Those of us who need help. Those who just want to live out their fantasy of having the power to change the world around them. Then Baelstub takes the forces of Good who failed the last time and twist them into Overlords representing the sins of humanity. The cycle begins again and every time it completes, Baelstub grows in power. Soon, Baelstub will consume the whole world.

All he needs to do is complete one last cycle. Defeat the Harmony Heroines and twist them into the final Overlords.

And you might be the only one who can stop him. The only one who knows that the Cycle exists. The only one who knows that the gifts and power he provides are only there to flicker out at the worst possible moment.

Stop Baelstub. You are the last hope.

Additional Notes

So I went a bit of a different direction with the Harmony Heroines. Notably, there is a bit of preset lore depending on the characters you choose to use.

Specifically, Airi and Vesper.

Airi is the user's (yours) little sister. While Vesper is convinced that you are the perfect candidate to be the new Overlord of Lust. This Cycle, no Overlord of Lust was declared and Vesper (who was supposed to be that Overlord but failed) has to find her own.

The timeline goes something like:

1
2
3
4
Harmony Heroines are created
Airi and {{user}}'s home is attacked by Vesper
{{user}} is kidnapped by Vesper and corrupted into the Overlord of Lust
The Harmony Heroines confront {{user}} in their Domain of Lust.

I could have gone with any sin but Lust felt the most appropriate for Chub, tbh.

You can avoid this set storyline by simply just not using Airi. Delete her lorebook entry and don't add her to the groupchat. If you use Rei, remove the portion about Rei being friends with Airi from the lorebook and the character card and you're good to go.

Update 09/12

I don't really have the energy to do a full rentry rewrite right now on god, sorry. I just don't.

Part of the reworks are done but the gist of the changes is this:

  • Vesper is no longer 100% confirmed to have kidnapped you.
  • Vesper is also no longer an Overlord subordinate, she is the Overlord but she is so fucking horny she really wanted to submit to you (which allows her to pass her powers on to you)
  • You can technically be an outside force. There are other forces at play as shown in the Undying Cult and (future update: Guardian Witches) that could have gotten you your powers.
  • Airi and Vesper are now more compatible because it's just "The Dark Forces" that destroyed Airi's home.

Yeehaw this will probably need an entire fucking rewrite at some point.

The Narrator Card

Narrator

Located in the Aegis City Discord.

The narrator card. This works best in a group chat and will help you out by doing all the stuff for the Dark forces without relying on the cards themselves. It's finnicky, but it works well enough and within a few generations it tends to give you a good enough response to go off of. Not much to say about this tbh.

The Harmony Heroines

Airi the Pixie Smasher

Airi

Located in the Aegis City Discord exclusively.

Alright, Airi. Airi is your little sister and the second Harmony Heroine of the group. She joined up during the assault on your home because she wanted to try and save you from the Chaoslings that were attacking. Unfortunately she failed and you were captured. She's great for a family drama character because she is just genuinely concerned for your safety and wants you both to be happy and together again. She's best friends with Rei and currently lives with her as well.

Airi wields Muspeltien, a flame lance that she uses to great effect. She's a frontline fighter aiming to get good stabs in while the rest of the group keeps her enemies at bay.

Alana the Retro Fae

Alana

Located in the Aegis City Discord exclusively.

Alana is the final member of the Harmony Heroines. I originally left a spot open in case the player wanted to be the final member, but you can just do that anyway and I want to move past the Harmony Heroines into other groups operating in the Harmony Heroines series. So, Alana is here. Also because I need an elf. A video gamer at heart, Alana lives with Airi and Rei and works a part time job as a hostess at the local Spider's Kiss bar.

She's cute.

Aya the Magic Knight

Aya

Located in the Aegis City Discord exclusively.

Aya the Magic Knight, fourth member of the Harmony Heroines. The scientific backbone of the group and a diehard grad student trying to figure out how the fuck these magical girls actually work. She's studying Magicium to figure it out and managed to bully her way onto the group by threatening to expose the girls if they didn't also let her in. Unfortunately, her schedule of being a ridiculed college student with a crackpot theory and nightly missions to defeat the Dark Forces is taking its toll on Aya and her grades have started to slip. So she's hoping to get the secrets of Magicium found out before it impacts her too much.

As the support backbone of the group, she uses gadgets to analyze her enemies and her signature rifle: Baldrn, to attack from afar. She supplements her attacks with ice magic.

Melina the Earth Mystic

Melina

Located in the Aegis City Discord exclusively.

Melina the Earth Mystic, third member of the Harmony Heroines. She's a sweet girl who runs her families flower store because she just straight loves plants and growing things. It's in a shitty part of town and under a mountain of debt, unfortunately the constant Dark Forces attacks have left her with even more debt and it's beginning to look pretty bad. She could end up losing her families shop which has been in the family for generations, but she also can't just let the Dark Forces win! After all, they've already attacked her shop once.

As the tank of the group, she wields a massive tower shield called "Gaia" which has vines that can wrap up and restrict enemies. Other than Rei, she's the most potent healer of the group as well.

Minara the Tiger Warrior

Minara

Located in the Aegis City Discord exclusively.

Minara the Tiger Warrior, fifth member of the Harmony Heroines. Tomboy of the group who grew up as the daughter of a mechanic. She loves good cars, especially motorcycles. As the brawler of the group, she fights up close and personal. She's best friends with Takane who she holds a great respect for. If you like your girls knowing Judo and not taking your shit, Minara is perfect for you. Minara joined up because Takane was already fighting against the Dark Forces and she thought it'd be a rousing good time. When Rei approached her with an offer to join, well, why the hell not?

Minara wields "Quetza's Fury" which is a pair of tiger claws she uses in her hand to hand combat. She also uses lightning magic to increase her speed and cast Lightning Bolt just like a nerd in a LARP.

Rei the Pink Angel

Rei

Located in the Aegis City Discord exclusively.

Starting off with Rei. She's the girl who's always dreamed of being a Magical Girl and the first one to accept the deal with Baelstub. Having grown up on video games and anime, she's the "Sailor Moon" of the group and official leader since her good spirit and 'first' status naturally gets her the spot.

Rei wields "Doki Doki" a heart wand that she uses to cast magic out of to support her allies and deal with her enemies.

Takane the Dark Mage

Takane

Located in the Aegis City Discord exclusively.

Takane the Dark Mage, the final member of the Harmony Heroines. If you like your girls Tsundere, then Takane is the girl for you. She's one of those punk types that lives and breathes for music, but it unfortunately isn't a very lucrative business even without evil beings trying to destroy humanity. So, she's on the verge of being kicked out by her Landlord who is kind of a prick. She only joined because Minara convinced her to do so. As the assassin of the group, Takane uses her dark magic to strike from unseen places and become invisible.

Takane wields "Rise and Fall" a pair of shadow daggers that she uses very fucking well. Try not to piss her off.

The Overlords

Formerly known as Angel Force, these magical girls were twisted into perverse versions of their old selves and made to try and corrupt the very world they had previously tried to save.

The Overlord of Greed - Irene Barnes, Spark Sorceress

Irene

Located in the Aegis City Discord exclusively.

Irene started out as a concept for "What if the Overlords really wanted to step on you?" Anyway the picture turned out great. As one of the Overlords, Irene focuses on acquisition of MONEY. DOSH, LADS. MONEY. The more money Irene gets, the more powerful she becomes. She's also probably going to try to own you as a result.

The Overlord of Lust - Vesper Lamayon, Dark Doll

Vesper

Located in the Aegis City Discord exclusively.

Sure, she's crazy. But she fucks like a porn star and she's the most ride or die member of the entire fucking series. Vesper will literally throw hands for you at the drop of a hat and if you want to do some fuckshit she's right there with you. There's literally no one in this series that loves you more than Vesper loves you. 10/10 waifu, would hug her if she cries again.

The Overlord of Pride - Emiko Arata, Sound Blaster

Emiko

Located in the Aegis City Discord exclusively.

One of the most dangerous Overlords out there, Emiko Arata was the former leader of Angel Force and has the skills to prove it. Her Daemons of Pride are monstrous, her abilities top tier, and she's one hell of a... Pop Idol? Emiko is spreading her power by gaining the adoration of millions of fans, sending out smash hit after smash hit, and pretty soon the entire world will be a fan of her...

The Overlord of Sloth - Zera Reid, Water Sprite

Zera

Located in the Aegis City Discord exclusively.

Zera is one of the weakest Overlords there is... But good luck getting to her. Zera is permanently surrounded by an Apathy Zone that prevents anyone from getting close enough to deal any damage at all. After working herself to the bone in her previous life, Zera just wants to laze around and do fucking nothing. Sex? Too much effort. Cleaning? Ugh. Food? Leave it at the door, she'll get it before it gets cold, maybe. Ugh, I'm feeling too lazy to even finish writing this...

The Overlord of Wrath - Feri Knilo, Reapers Light

Feri

Located in the Aegis City Discord exclusively.

Image above is her if you can redeem her. Her... real image is quite more grotesque.

Feri Knilo is the Overlord of Wrath and also an elf that was transported to this world. Baelstub works in mysterious ways I guess. Anyway, Feri Knilo probably got the shortest end of the Overlord stick. While all the other Overlords were able to keep there forms and generally stay humans, Feri's torture turned her into an actual fucking monster. Content Warning, this shit gross. Relegated to the sewers where she is metastasizing over the entire god damn city, Feri is an unstoppable force of pain and fury. It's to the point where even the other Overlords fear her and wonder if they'll have to kill her themselves.

There will be a card for "Redeemed Feri" another time. In the meantime, make due with the lorebook entry and narrator card.

Scenario Cards

The Undying One's Cult

Undying

Located in the Aegis City Discord exclusively.

Possibly a cult to Baelstub, possibly a cult to something else. The Undying Cult represents a new enemy type to fight across Aegis City if you'd prefer lower-scale combats.
