Ernest (Admiral Tigerclaw) Hart, owner, Samurai Penguin Studios since february 2007.
A creative mind with a perchant for music, and a craving for action. Don't believe that? Just listen to one of the more action packed music tracks. Some military training (mostly Basic 'don't get killed in five seconds flat' training.)
DATA:
HEIGHT: 5 ft 5.5 in.
WEIGHT: Overweight by now I'm sure.
Blood type: RED
Skin Type: Organic, white.
SPECIAL ABILITIES:
- Rhythm
- Imagination
- Tactical/Strategic operations management and logistics.
- Communications
INTERESTING (And perhaps spooky) FACTS:
1: Despite the quality of music I write. I cannot play an instrument to save my life.
2: With an M-16 A2 Assault Rifle, I can, and have, hit a three-hundred meter distant man-sized target reliably. With scratched, three years out of date prescibtion glasses. While baking in the Georgia sun and humidity (Or would that be pressure cooked?), with shorter than average arms, and I'm left eye dominant.
3: I average ten computer hours a day or more. (True Geek!)
4: I speak English, bad English, basic Spanish (Hey, I live in central Texas, go figure.), 1337, Genuine Engineer Speak (Maybe not...), US Army Lingo/Accronym, and Minor-Otaku-Level Japanese.
...You took something that didn't really take itself seriously, like the Magical Girl genre of anime, and made it take itself seriously?
Something that takes the tropes of a typical magical girl series, and finds a way to not only justify the tropes in a realistic sense, but make the series behave like it actually took place in a realistic setting... Smart villains, events not taking place in a vaccume, people who act like people should.
I envision such a series. It's like a estranged love child of Jason Bourne and Sailor Moon with a touch of Micheal Bay for effect.
I present to you in the following jumble of text, a concept that should be treated like a movie trailer. If your mind can wrap itself around visualizing what's being seen in the text, you're halfway there. Then just click the link and apply the music.
After you're done, let me know what you think. Would you watch a movie based on this premise?

“Mr. President?”
“I’ve got a busy schedule today.”
“You may have to put some meetings on hold then, this may take a while.”
“This better be good…”
“Sir, I’ll be frank… Do you believe in magical girls?”
“What?”
-My name is Alexander Remington. Most people just call me Alex. For years I worked for the CIA. I can’t tell you about the things I’ve done, but the basics are simple enough. My job was to take lives.-
“Take the shot…”
BANG!
“Target Neutralized.”
**NOTE: Xraydog ganked their track from Youtube... So no mood setting music**
-Then, I stumbled onto something a little different.
“Wait, intruder spotted, how’d he get past the perimiter?
-Now my job is to save lives…
“Did you kill it?
“I think so…”
“What do you think these things want?”
“Us… Dead”
-All our lives.
“So what are we going to do about it man?”
“… Kill them first.”
+FLASH+
[AN URBAN LEGEND?]
=Eyewitnesses reported seeing a monster fighting a young …=
“Female, ages between twelve and sixteen, usually wearing extremely impractical clothing and manipulating supernatural abilities beyond scientific understanding….”
“Like those anime shows about love and justice?”
+FLASH+
[NOTHING BUT FANTASY?]
“This guy dropped twelve of our best agents and ate more gunfire than I’d like to imagine, and she dropped him in one shot.”
“We won’t be so lucky next time…”
+FLASH+
[WHAT IF EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT MAGICAL GIRLS…]
“I got her, she’s safe! But, Man you’re not going to believe this…”
“What?”
[WERE TRUE?]
“They really do wear miniskirts and high heals…”
[EXCEPT FOR ONE]
“She cries like a little girl…”
[SMALL]
“She IS a little girl…”
[THING]
“Fourteen deaths in the target demographic range in the last six months globally.”
“So? People are murdered all the time, we’re assholes that way. How are these related?”
“They were reportedly all killed by some kind monster man…”
[NOW]
- Whoever we’re up against isn’t as stupid as you’d wish they were.
“These girls are just kids, they couldn’t fight their way out of a wet paper bag.
- They plan like we do.
“ How are they supposed to handle a war?”
- They hide like we do
“With Love in their hearts?”
- They KILL, like we do.
“Only if Love and Justice are the names of a new brand of Rocket Launcher.”
[THE RACE IS ON]
“We’ve got more firepower.”
“We don’t know where to hit them.”
“We have global intelligence.”
“They’re not from Earth.”
“We have NUKES!”
“We kill ourselves to kill them.”
“You’re really not making this easy….”
[TO FIND THE ONES THAT ARE LEFT]
“It’s like chess, we make a move, they make a move, first one to corner the king wins.”
“Then we’ll just need to turn our pawns into queens.”
“How? They’re glass cannons, one sniper round and they’re just as dead as anyone else.”
“I lasted this long being just human, so it should be enough.”
“You’re crazy.”
[BEFORE TIME]
“Am I really?”
…
“She just pulled a three foot staff out of thin air dude…”
[RUNS OUT]
“Maybe not…”
“Alex?”
“Yes?”
“What is this thing supposed to do?”
“…Willia-“
“Do I look like a magical talking cat to you?”
BOOM
“You’ve got to distract him while I prepare a spell!”
“How the hell am I supposed to do that? Chastise his ass with a self righteous speech?!”
“I have a plan!”
“What?!”
“We’ll use cartillery!”
“We’ll WHAT?”
+FLASH+
[MONSTERS]
“We know they aren’t stupid, but all signs indicate they’d get their asses kicked in a straight fight, so why are they even bothering?”
“They probably have a doomsday plan…”
“A WHAT?”
“A doomsday plan. A final goal they’re moving towards that will allow them to crush us all in one fell swoop…”
“Man! When are you going to stop taking all your notes out of those stupid children’s cartoons.”
“It’s gotten us this far hasn’t it”
“This is stupid man…”
+FLASH+
[GIRLS]
“Tokyo Tower, the Space Needle, Eiffel Tower, the Empire State Building… So far we’ve found them all, dead or alive, within fifty miles of these landmarks..”
“They’re looking for something…. Or someone.”
“Who? We’ve assembled the surviving magical girls and kicked their ass on every continent now.”
“The last girl man…”
“Say again?”
“In your stupid cartoons, the Bad Guys would probably be after the last girl, the supposed Team Leader. You know the one man. She’d be the one who can fuck up their plans all on her own if she knew she could.”
“Then find her-“
“Already have a lead…”
“Who?”
+FLASH+
[MAGIC]
“Excuse me, could you let me out of here now?”
“YOU SPOKE!”

“Well, normally its parrots…”
“Whatever. Look, you’re in danger.”
+FLASH+
[MEN]
“The president’s daughter?”
“That’s convenient…”
