Witches 5; Their... "witchiness" XD

This is a ways off, but always good to get discussion rolling.

Something I've thought about from time to time. They are known as the Witches 5, yet... They were not very witch-like with the exception of their staves. I would like to give them more witch-like attributes and accessories. I understand the whole technology and science aspect must still be prominent, but there are some really cool things that can be done with them.

A few ideas I had was giving them each a cat (robotic, nanotechnology) that could double as any kind of vehicle that they deem fit. Whether these cats could actually talk is up in the air. They could be interesting if they could talk and there were situations involving Luna/Artemis with them. Another idea I had was giving them each a broom that doubled as their staves. (The broom would transform to their stave and same with stave to broom) They would not necessarily utilize their brooms to fly often, but they could provide for some neat action from time to time.

More ideas include them making potions, maybe one of them specializes in potions. Another could use perfumes or something to weaken/trick/attract their opponents.

Input on my ideas? Thoughts of your own?

I think robotic cats are a brilliant, appealing and original idea.
Brooms however are a bit TOO classic witchlike.

But I'd love for the Witches to have different sized and colored robot cats, preferably with glowing eyes. (I can see Mimetes cat beeing a fat orange patched cat with green spotlights as eyes...) haha, I am THIS close to sending you concept art of their robocats!

Tellulu, didn't she experiment in a lab before taking over and being wiped out in the course of, what, three episodes? She seems fit for potionmaking... Or maeby Eudial? They are all sciency, but Eudial was machines oriented, Mimete... a crazy otaku, Viluy was a programmer of sorts and Cyprine&Ptilol/Puchiroll(?) are pure magicians, very close to kaorinite in level, mangawise.

I'd love for all of the witches to have more screentime when it comes to that, more interaction to, they only had interaction with the witch before and after them in the anime.

I'm for all of the ideas. I really like the cat idea.
I think it'd be amusing to see Mimete fly away on a broom. xD

If used, the broom thing would maybe make an appearance once or twice. Just for good fun. XD Would provide an interesting chase scene, at least.

I'm thinking their cats will look and act like real cats. (With the exception of the whole transforming thing. LOL) Oh, if only.) Though each cat will definitely look different and match their owner somehow.

Something else to mention is that like the villains of other story arcs, when disguised as humans, the Witches 5 will not look like their real selves. Their hair color and whatnot will be different.

I like the idea a lot, Chains! The robotic cats thing is certainly very funny stuff, and in fact you read my mind regarding one thing: I always missed their "traditional witch" nature being much more evident. The broom/stave and potions suggestions are also great, so please keep them!

Anyway, I would actually go deeper, emphasizing the dark side of it all, their real evil (even demonic) witchcraft. What comes first to mind is what Kaolinite did in the manga to create the "Infinite Labyrinth" towards the climax of the Infinity Arc: she tears the beating heart off a living bat, pours the blood over her stave, stands inside a black magic circle drawn on the floor, reads some kind of incantation, uses small wax dolls of the Senshi... I remember feeling slightly uneasy while reading that part!

That certainly is what I would love to see the Witches 5 doing, apart from the laughs you're surely thinking of already. Scary symbols, frightening spells, old medieval evil witchcraft in a nutshell! I think it could be the source of many interesting situations. What do you think?

Oh of course. I definitely want the more elaborate witch thing to show darker sides to them. Things like voodoo and vicious spells would most definitely come into play with that.

Heh. I'm all for more darknesss like this displayed. These would make for some interesting scenes.

And i'm all for the cats, but I'm iffy on the brooms, it's just too cheesy like and honestly i would just think Mimette would be the only one who would be able to pull it off since she's the dumb.... I mean "funny" one.

GREAT IDEA! Ahem.

Yeah, most people have said everything but I could indeed imagine Mimette flying around on a broom and crashing or something. Maybe their cats somehow reflect their personalities a little, too... Now that they're robotic I just want to see them break UsagiLaugh

But I guess their dressing style as well as staves is generally witch-like, as well as their behaviour in general... Ahem, but it's a very good idea to add black magic references... Although I actually really like the Practical Magic-style witch... But they're evil so JupiterConfused

Gah, this sounds so awesome! The cats and darker magic style sound incredible, but I'm not sure I'd want anyone but Mimete on a broom. I would really want Eudial to have her car from the anime, since her road rage + random shooting from a vehicle = win. And I really hope Viluy, Tellu, Cyprine, and Ptilol get more screen time [than in the anime. I guess none of them really got much page time in the manga].

...Tomoe's quite the pimp.

Give him a pimp cane. :D

I really like these ideas! Just one thing, If the cats can transform into vehicles why do they need brooms? I could see one or two of them having them for fun or a quick get away...I guess I agree with the brooms as long as ther're not used often.

The dark magic sounds like it could create some interesting situations... Mistress9Front

Like I said, the broom thing was just a small idea for like one scene out of the whole thing. XD I could just limit that to Mimette in one scene.

Viluy, Tellu, Cyprine, and Ptilol will have a LOT more screen time than in the anime/manga. Each of them will be developed equally. All villains throughout the entire game will be developed a lot more thoroughly except in exceptions when a little mystery is better.

Cats would be cute, but I think brooms would be a more subtle change. My vote is to give them brooms. Mistress9Front

Cats would be a bit odd a change actually... I mean, both Moon and Venus have cat familiar-type creatures... so it wouldn't be unique to give it to the Witches 5, it would actually make them more like the senshi... =\

Maybe different creatures which are cat-like... or not. Bats would be cool. But I think that would be too much work, brooms are probably fine. Maybe their staffs/staves could turn into brooms at will? It would be easier to design them then, just broomify their staffs UsagiLaugh or if you're really lazy just have them ride their staffs like brooms... that would be even less obvious XD

The cats don't necessarily have to talk though, I don't think it would be so unoriginal if they had cats. Cats have been tied with witches since... well pretty much forever haha. I think it makes less sense to make sure that the Senshi are all so different from the enemies, they are bound to have some kind of similarities. It's just owning a cat. It's not like the witches are going to have one black and one white cat with crecent moons on their heads. They will all be very different cats. It makes sense to me.

The idea with the cats is pretty cool. (Personally, I think brooms could be a little bit too much.)

Other things associated with witches are Mushrooms. (In Europe, there were even legends that certain growths of mushrooms are created by witches to mark their sorcery places. )
