Origin - Glory Seeker

(NOTE: Please speak to Sachiko Yamashiro on-game before applying for this origin!)

A Glory Seeker, a type of magical girl granted power by a Flamen mascot known as Buster. Buster is the representative of the Flamen people and any other Glory Seekers would also have Buster as a mascot. Glory Seekers have within them something called a Spark that is analogous to a Star Seed or Linker Core, the source of their magic. All people have inactive Sparks inside of them, but Buster is able to activate it and grant them the powers of a Glory Seeker. Sparks are magical and metaphysical rather than physical in nature and emerge from a Glory Seeker to transform them when they henshin.

All Glory Seekers and their Sparks are innately tied to a specific emotion that fuels their magic. Glorious Beacon's important emotion is Confidence, which means the more she believes in herself and her own ability the more powerful she becomes. For Sachiko this can become a pretty powerful positive feedback loop as she's innately very confident, many would say overconfident. It's also very dangerous and risky because while all mahou are at risk of becoming disheartened and potentially losing their ability to use their magic Sachiko will immediately become incredibly weak should she ever lose confidence in herself or her magic, even if she does manage to maintain her henshin.

A mascot in Buster and a metaphysical henshin device in her Spark, but the primary focus for a Glory Seeker is their primary emotion and Sachiko's is Confidence.

Glory Seeker is an original Origin.

Glory Seekers do not stray very far from the Magical Girl or Magical Boy norms in visual style. Girls tend to wear fancy dresses with plenty of accessories and boys can wear snappy suits or other fancy outfits. Importantly, there are no gender restrictions; a girl could wear a suit or a boy could wear a dress if it fit their personality. Glory Seekers hair also tends to change to their style's primary color after transforming. In combat Glory Seekers tend to focus heavily on a specific magical element. Common elements like fire, water, wind etc are all acceptable, but so are less common elements like light, rocks or pure kinetic energy. Glory Seekers also tend to have a powerful specialty to go along with their element, think healing, shielding or the like. Glory Seekers don't tend to wield physical weapons, but many are capable of creating a melee weapon out of their designated element if it suits them.
