Name: Mavis Feng
Age: 21
Region: Rhapsodia (though she also uses techniques from Harmonium, since that’s where her mother is from and where she lived for most of her formative years)
Appearance: Mavis has dark purple, almost black hair. When untied, it reaches the middle of her back. She has dark gray eyes. She wears a muted collared blouse and a plaid skirt, as well as a face mask that she takes off when she sings.
Personality: Mavis sometimes struggles to communicate her thoughts with others in a polite way, making her seem like a bit of a shrinking violet to strangers. However, she enjoys watching and analyzing how people use their magic, and her overenthusiasm in this regard is perhaps what leads her to be considered offbeat. She has an impeccable ability to read the social atmosphere, though her ability to communicate (or lack thereof) somewhat dampens that skill.
Backstory: Both her mother and father were skilled performers at their own craft (her father as a street performer with little formal training yet heaps of raw talent, and her mother as a trained professional who took to training others as well). She spent most of her childhood in Harmonium with her mother after her parents parted ways, but she grew up as a bit of an outsider there due to taking after her father’s more relaxed ideas of etiquette and culture. Though she was never bullied or derided for her preference towards Rhapsodia’s music, she was often regarded as a strange individual. She had a talent for singing just like her parents, but this worsened her self-esteem due to the high expectations piled upon her. She applied for a Harmony Institute instead of a Musical Academy to escape those expectations. Though her skill with magic was middling at first, it was liberating for her to not have to meet a bar that felt impossibly high. She worked hard and graduated with high marks, wherein she was recruited as a singer for a group in Rhapsodia, which quickly became rather popular. She joined the Melodic Vanguard in order to expand her worldview and be exposed to more emotions, which can drastically increase the effectiveness of her singing and her magic.
Music Style: J-pop (Vocaloid is also on the table here, but none of these songs are Vocaloid songs)
Examples: What Sort of Ending Are You Wishing For?, Gira Gira, Blessing
Weapons: She’s best with instruments that have keyboards, but they’re too unwieldy for her to carry more than one of. Instead, she prefers to sing and simply use a microphone, and she has one keyboard for backup.
Magic & Techniques: Mavis’ abilities are mainly centered around her ability to express emotions, which has been stunted due to her time in Harmonium.

Magic & Techniques: Mavis’ abilities are mainly centered around her ability to express emotions, which has been stunted due to her time in Harmonium.
Mimic: Mavis has perfect pitch, allowing her to mimic the abilities of others (including her enemies), though the mimic ability is usually less effective due to not using the same instrument.
Mastery of Lyrics: When she sings a song, the way she expresses the lyrics can cause different buffs to activate on her and her allies. She has an offensive variant that allows her to project emotions into enemies’ minds, debuffing them.
Commander of Song: Depending on the song she sings, the offensive capability will vary, but she can summon objects or beings associated with the song (that she can visualize) and control them for a short period of time. Her stamina drains much faster when using this ability.

Is there anything that doesn’t make sense to you?
Everything here looks great, thank you for the submission! Accepted
@GLITCHSKULL As per the General Role Play Rules:
If you were short on time or didn't know how to flesh out your post, that's completely fine - I'd rather you waited and submitted a few posts that you truly enjoyed writing and are full of character, as opposed to frequent posts that are too short and snappy.
Alright, sorry! Short on time lol
Fixed it... I think
No problem at all, thank you for your patience.
@GLITCHSKULL Apologies for the oversight, some of the details in your post run contradictory to those established thus far:
- The Vanguard isn't public yet, the only people who know exactly what they are would be the Council personnel like Elara. The name is mentioned on the recruitment letter though, so it's completely accurate to have Poe be wondering what that name could mean
- Thus, there's no 'Vanguard Floor', they're currently meeting in the 'War Plan Room' which is in a fairly secluded corridor. Once Poe reaches, a guard will knock on the door and he'll be called in by Elara
Other than that this post is great (along with all those written thus far), especially the extra detail everyone is bringing with them about their characters and the world. Please do keep it up!

So confusing...
I'll fix in a bit
I'll fix in a bit
Fixed. It's the best I can do at the moment. Let me know if it needs changing!
Jeez... all that for one session is madness!
My plan for an assignment is to go to Technosymphonia to check the rumours on what Poe said. This turns out to be true, but we destroy most of the important military-grade stuff, and attain some interesting documents including important information, which I'll leave to you @RhythmThief
Is that ok?

That's a great idea. I intend for the group to actually split up to tackle multiple regions at once very soon, after a particular event goes down, and based on what Poe has revealed, one group will now likely be heading to Techsym
Yes! Thank you. I tried my best with that
