Setsuna discovered she still had a connection to the Time Gates - though it was rapidly becoming more tenuous as things continued. Using every last scrap of power she could, she found to bend this reality to something less reprehensible. She hadn't enough power or control to completely undo it, but if she could just manage a tiny amount of change-
Haruka was not at all happy about her current predicament.
She had discovered her "Gift" at an early age and had begun crossdressing to hide her identity as a Magical Girl. A Magical Boy (or Empowered - they vastly preferred that term or Metahuman) had much less restrictions than a Magical Girl.
At an all boy's school, it had been inevitable that someone would notice that the bishonen boy was actually a girl. So she had been truant - a real bad boy.
Her luck had run out at age sixteen. A routine stop and a 'path had found her.
She'd gotten the collar and bracelets. As she was not only an unregistered magical girl, but one who had bucked the system, they would have made an example of her. When she'd fought and swore and beaten up two of those trying to arrest her, any choice they had in the matter was decided. They had to punish her and make an example of her.
First, she would never again be able to disguise herself as a guy. She had to use makeup, wear jewelry, and wear feminine clothing. They'd used a psychic to indelibly slam that into her being. Her nails were longer than they had been, painted a gold tone, though she could keep them trimmed enough that they wouldn't interfere with her ability to fight or drive. She likewise had makeup tattooed on though not garishly. Streaks of light blue on her eyelids, a faint hint of blush on her cheeks, a slightly glossy gold on her lips. Two long earrings dangled from her ears and accentuated her slender neck.
A side effect of the Roehm Process had enhanced her figure. Her breasts had filled out, as had her ass.
No, Haruka Tenou would not be mistaken for a boy.
Some of the more hardliners, particularly those who had lost loved ones during the Magical Girl Wars, had been ready to put her through furrifaction and intellect reduction. It had gotten to the point where the computer models had been developed, showing the ditzy bunnygirl she could have been.
Haruka wasn't sure who intervened. Someone had. She'd ended up registered to her owner: Ash (Ranma).
She wasn't sure why, though she had a theory. That she'd remained on the loose for so long had shown she was resourceful. Someone had decided she was too valuable to reduce to bouncy playtoy.
She also wasn't sure about this "Sailor Uranus" stuff, but this Ranma guy had left his PDA out where she could pull up her own entry.
Name: Haruka T.
Owner: Ash "Ranma" Saotome
Power Level: D/B
Inherent Powers: Accelerated Reflexes & G-Force Tolerance
Power Up: Sailor Uranus - mana user. Wind Element.
Rated Skills:
- Driving +3. Excellent skills though she has a competitive/antagonist tendency that may need correction.
- Domestic -1: Haruka shows no leaning or inclination towards domestic skills. Hypnotraining may be required.
- Maintenence +1: Haruka shows a fair degree of mechanical aptitude.
- Fighting +2: Haruka shows good skills in hand to hand combat, primarily untrained streetfighting.
- Music +1: Haruka has good tonal control and skill with a variety of instruments as revealed by perusal of her school records.
Suggested Roles: Chauffer, bodyguard, soldier.
Special Notes: Due to difficulties given to security and governmental agencies, Haruka has been fitted with a Type II Control Collar.
Testing Comments: Due to the unrepetent and hostile nature of subject Haruka T. - it is suggested that she undergo Level III monitoring. Further antisocial behavior should result in purification.
Haruka shuddered. Purification. Having her entire life judged by someone she didn't know, and anything that was decided to be "evil" or "bad" would be purged. She'd still be alive, but something would be missing and she wouldn't be capable of noticing. Oh, to be sure, she'd be a happy productive member of society - she could even be downgraded to a faux collar. But she wouldn't be the same her anymore. It was typically a last resort, only to be used when some Magical Girl had committed flagrant offenses or endangered others.
She quickly scanned forward, hoping for some mental distance. It had a list of her schools, her grades, and odd things like her Pain/Pleasure Barrier Level. Then the next entry.
Name: Michiru K.
Owner: Ash "Ranma" Saotome
Power Level: D/B
Inherent Powers: Minor Clairvoyant - þ Level Sensitive Uncontrolled, Perfect Pitch
Power Up: Sailor Neptune - mana user. Water Element.
Rated Skills:
- Music +4. Very talented when the mood strikes her.
- Domestic -1: Michiru comes from a well to do background. Prior to eruption of her magical talents, she was the prima donna daughter of a well-to-do family and so no domestic skills were ever taught.
- Art +2: part of her "classical" education, Michiru shows excellent skills as a painter and sculptor.
- Fighting -1: Though possessed of good strength and reflexes, her fighting skills have proven to be atrocious.
- Swimming +2. Michiru was in the Swim Team prior to emergence of her abilities. She is rated highly as a swimmer.
Suggested Roles: Muse, Musician, Secretary
Special Notes: Due to events at the Kawazara Facility and to stop a repeat of that incident, Michiru was fitted with a Type II Control Collar.
Testing Comments: If Michiru does not adapt to her changing circumstances, it may be necessary for her to undergo purification.
Haruka frowned, scanning ahead to figure out why some blueblood rich bitch would need to be restrained like that.
Kawazara Test Facility: Michiru's attempted suicide belied her apparent acceptance of her rejection by her family and new status as a Magical Girl. Despite existing precautions against such things, she nearly succeeded. She was fitted with a Type II Control Collar in an attempt to prevent further behavior and given a Level 3 PsiTherapy Session. She was then imprinted on Ash ("Ranma") Saotome, the Gatekeeper who she will be assigned to.
Haruka frowned and backtracked. She hated that kind. Went through life, silver spoon in their mouth, so of course they collapsed when their comfortable little word with their tea parties and debutante balls was swept away.
She was absolutely sure she would hate this "Michiru K" when they met.
Maybe she could get her "Owner" more controlled if she got cuddlesome with him. From what she'd heard a lot of Magical Girls had a fair amount of control of the relationship that way.
