In the year 1939, the world was attacked by a strange alien race known as the Neuroi. The Neuroi proceeded to take over chunks of the world, and began to steadily grow in power. Luckily, mankind has figured out a way to defeat them. Magic. Young women with magic potential were equipped with a new invention, the Striker Unit, which allows them to fly at incredible speeds, produce shields, and better combat the enemy forces.
A user of magic is a witch. There is only one group of male magic users, the Magi, in the known world, because there are so few of them. Warlocks are machines made to replicate witches, and are named after traditional male magic users. In the Otome-Tachi manga it is explained that the animal features of Witches are not inherent but the result of fusing with an animal spirit, which increases their inherent power.
Magic is a natural ability unique to Witches which manifests as a blue aura followed by the appearance of animal ears and tails. One exception is Mio's constantly glowing violet eye that she regulates with her eye-patch. Although physically taxing, control and technique can improve the expenditure of energy. Magic can be used for such things as healing, vastly enhancing strength and vision, and for stabilizing and enhancing weapons such as guns and swords.
In order to bring out their potential for use in battle, each Witch equips a unique machine onto their legs: the Striker Unit. With the Striker Unit equipped, they gain the ability to fly and their tapped magical potential provides the strength to utilize weapons far too heavy and powerful for a normal person. Also created is a defensive field that can protect the Witches from the Neuroi's miasma as well as other physical weaponry, making them humanity's trump card in the war.
Witches are trained on the basics of controlling their magic and using a Striker Unit in their birth region's military base. Afterwords, some join their birth nation's squadron, while others travel to other nations to join their's, or are asked to. There, they receive their own custom-made Striker Unit, designed around their magic proficiency, flying style and stature. They are also given a room at the JFW base.
A Witches Power begins to fade at 19-20 [meaning all characters will be 15-+, yep jailbait]
Now in the year 1944, the call has gone out. With the Neuroi being spread all around the world, more witches are needed to combat them. The government has formed many new witch squadrons, and mercenary witches are putting themselves up for hire. Factions are being formed amongst the chaos, though they are all mainly focused on the same thing; wiping out the Neuroi. Still.. infighting is happening. Cunning people are taking advantage of the war to scoop up land or take out political leaders, though this is all kept under wraps from the general public.
A false peace keeps the people in check, mostly ignorant within their countries, thinking that all is well. Little do they know, the darkness is growing, both inside and outside of their nations.
Will the witches be able to use their power to protect everyone, or will they ultimately fail and the world be destroyed? Only time will tell.
