She's about equidistant as compared to everyone else, probably. The difference is that they have to go through a currently closed door to get to the stairs, whereas she doesn't have that obstacle.

As for what she can do about it? Well, that's entirely up to you. Maybe she can't do anything, considering she doesn't have any weaponry on her. If everyone just sat tight, the scene would proceed anyways, just differently than if you tried to take action.

Inaction IS an action. :P

So, I've spent this "roleplaying downtime" rethinking the format of this "Magical Girl" thread. I have a sort of drafted script of the intro which I think is passable (which is more than I can say for some of my other threads), but the issue (I think) is in how I present the base character classes. Namely, do you guys have enough to customise, or are the base models so overbearing that they simply aren't workable?

Here's a draft example of several PC classes.

--

Magical Girl
Charity

Element:

Light

Traits:
Charity is a soft-hearted, caring and kind individual, who would put others above herself!

Special Ability:
Charity has the best control of her magic, being the only one in the group who can jumpstart or buff others magic. She is an empath, meaning she is sensitive to the thoughts and emotions of others, with feelings like regret or guilt being prevalent. Charity can use this skill to detect people through their emotions. Lastly, Charity is the only person in the world with the ability and knowledge to surgically operate on a magical girl in their “magical” form.


Magical Girl
Tenacity

Element:
Fire

Traits:
Tenacity is strong willed, has a fiery temper and prefers to rush her problems head on!

Special Ability:
Tenacity is the donkey of the group, possessing the highest raw magical capacity of any of her team mates, the intensity fuelled by her more hot-headed spur-of-the-moment emotions. Her spells tend to burn brighter for longer, but lacks the subtlety, control or finesse of the other girls. Tenacity’s overflowing mana reserves also grant her improved self-regeneration abilities.

I mean, if you're going with a class system then it's really up to the player to make use of whatever it offers as best they can. I'm fine with how it appears to be set up. The only thing that some people might like (like I said, not me, I'm good with this) is that they can't have whatever personality they want to go along with whatever power they want, but that, to me, seems like it'd be minor. Besides, personality shifts are a thing, so that only applies in magical form.

Having it all set up like that is different than usual, but not a bad thing. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.

Hmm. I think I've come up with a (sort of) cool idea, thanks to a quick study of Wikipedia and Tvtropes (which, yes, did ruin my life). It turns out that in psychology, some goofball decided to steriotype four (or five) different types of temperaments, threw them into a diagram and named each catagory after random bodily fluids. Why they wanted to liken people's moods to excrement I'll never know, but the idea of this "five man" group psyche did interest me.

So, I'm thinking of tying each character to a certain temperament, and letting the roleplayer take it from there, moulding their own interpretations of how a "hot tempered, passionate" Choleric like Tenacity would go about her day.
