You mean the Mage rules thus far?
I'm still writing up the actual Magic System at this point, but Mage: The Acsension should be able to translate Type-Moon Sorcery--or more types of powers in the Nasuverse--fairly well.
The trouble is that the core rulebook presents the magic sstem in a fairly convoltued way, so it's almost as if I'm working from scratch!

HERE'S FOR ANYBODY WHO'S INTERESTED IN....
The Four Great Families of Baymoon City!
Haruno Aoshima Takugashi Mizuji
--Haruno: The Haruno family's having some tough times, but they were once famous for their legendary "Jyuushiryu" Sword Style. They lost most of their political clout, and their eldest son was not chosen as their heir, but their youngest daughter. However, she and her grandfather have have been sent away, for their own safety.
--Aoshima: They're the Haruno family's greatest rivals, and they revel in the hard times that their adversaries are being put through. However, in a strange twist of fate, their only heir has disappeared--also a girl roughly the age of the Haruno heir--as well as her father, while her mother's identity remains a mystery. They are famous for their unarmed techniques, having mastered what they call "Chinese Kempo," or Kungfu. They practice a strange melding of the three Chinese Neiji Arts, Tai Chi, Pakua, and Hsing-I.
--Takugashi: Once a vassal family to the Haruno family, they are now attempting to distance themselves from the conflicts between their once-masters and the Aoshima family. Long ago, they were the last remaining masters of an esoteric Ninja Art that was thought to be lost at the beginning of hte Tokugawa Regime. They still practice their ninja arts, though the CWSA has to occasionally fine or ticket their younger members for using magical martial arts in public.
--Mizuji: They're a family of Shinto priests and Priestesses who pass one their masterful Spirit arts form generation to generation. In the past, they have united the other families against Hybrid Family incursions and their Sorceries, while easy to pass off as Demon Hunter Skills, are actually very potent and versatile. Their children are often hidden away from public and homeschooled until they can better protect themselves agaisnt vengeful Spirits and Demons.
There's plenty of room to play as a character linked or related to any of these families. They're pretty central to the storyline.
Dignity; chastity; a double submission of passion; lusterous waves

Another character for the RPG... just thought I'd put out a little info in case anyone was interested.
Name: Luka Severgi Ascham Age: 18
Luka is a recent graduate of the Elna English Academy of Baymoon City. Standing 5'7" with sandy brown hair and pale blue eyes, Luka is always sharply dressed. Be it a downtown rave, a sorcerous ritual, or a meeting with the Mayor, Luka is always dressed for the occasion. Luka has a smile for everyone, and is both gracious and civil--all too rare qualities that made her rather popular at the academy. She was especially popular with the younger students, of whom she was rather protective. Luka was also well-regarded for her both founding the Elna English Academy Archery Club, and taking it to place 5th at last year's national competition.
Luka comes from a minor but respected sorcerous family in Baymoon... well, respected as of 8 years ago, when her parents, Catherine and Sergei Ascham, birthed twins. These twins, Castor and Hellen, blazed so brightly with Destiny that Astrologers all over the world had no choice but to take note of them. Luka still lives at her parent's house, although since her parents are frequently away, the bulk of the day-to-day responsibilities fall on her.
Though her parents are Astrologers both, Luka never felt the call of the magic of Destiny. Instead, she was intrigued by the mysteries of Elder Magic, and worked hard to master its secrets. With her command of sympathetic magic, she finds it easy to go where she needs to go, as well as see what she needs to see. This makes certain types of information very accessible to her. Such information often makes Luka a dangerous opponent, for it provides the leverage to make even small forces--be they social, physical, or should it be neccessary, lethal--extremely effective.
Luka sees the world around her and is disappointed. She sees powerful criminal organizations exploiting common citizens, she sees indolent and corrupt officials depriving well-meaning branches of the city government of their funds, and she sees mortals being used as playthings and food for demons, hostile sorcerors, and other magical beings. She sees this, and wonders why such things are not stopped. Of course, the answer is simple: such things are not stopped because those with power, those that *could* stop these things, do not. What Baymoon needs--what the world needs, even--is an organization to train those who would do justice, to have the strength to enforce it; and to make those who have strength understand that justice WILL be done.
But such a thing cannot be done alone; and Luka is a single, solitary 18 year old girl. With this in mind, she begins to seek others, people who can together make the dream of a Mage Association in Baymoon become a reality.

Well here is my character background...
Siegfried Von Arstengard
Appearance: Dark Brown hair, blue eyes, 5 ft 11 150lbs, a young man in his mid 20. Siegfried usually dress in a white business suit with black shirt and white pants. The most distinguishing feature is a scar that runs from his left eyebrow straight down to his cheek.
Personality: Dedicated in the quest of magic, and isnft beyond breaking a few rules to achieve his goal. Enjoys good challenges and is confident of his skills.
Born from a long time of mages, Siegfried belongs to a sub branch of Einzbern family that split off over a disagreement two centuries ago. After the separation from the main family, the Arstengard family continues its quest in the research of the third law and since then it has became a crusade to produce something that would outshine Einzberns achievement.
Siegfried was born in the remote area of Germany, on the estate of the Arstengard family. As a child he received strict education in magic and a diversity of training in what would be considered proper for a member of the family. Later on he was sent to the Clock Tower in England to further his studies. During his time there he was briefly apprenticed to Aozaki Touko in the studies of Ether Projection. An explosion during the experimentation gave him the scar on his left cheek and damaged his left eye that he needs to wear correctional contact or glasses to see clearly.
When the magical potential of the Baymoon city was discovered, Siegfried sees it as an opportunity both as prime material to further his own research as well as a break from the stifling influences of both the Clock Tower and his own family. Upon arriving at Baymoon city he realized the impossibility in harnessing such a power by himself, as well as the chaotic situation which might interfere with his research. Thus he is interested in the establishment of a new mage order as a mean to harnessing the mana and to restore order in the area.

Name:Mark Age:mid 20s
Appearence:Flowing bishounen style blond hair, blue eyes, muscular and rather tall; a classic jock.
Personality:Mark is probably the most crooked and devious character of them all... luckily he's not the brightest either. He often invisions various schemes but doesn't take the time to think them all the way through, usually resulting in attempt to stretch his wits and intelligence a bit to far. Regardless, Mark never gives up and is so thick headed he cannot be swayed from his path of moderately idiotic evil and greed. Unfortunately(well luckily for him) his stunning figure combined with a few lies still tricks many of the wisest people. His true reason for helping to found the mage association isn't very clear but it definately seems like there is more to him than meets the eye... sometimes.
Mark was born into a rich family with great swordsmen and false knight ancestors throughout it's ancient history. Originally they first gained power by effortlessly attempting to carry a good reputation while only helping people for personal gain along with extorting money from the rich and poor which of course was inevitably realized. Because of this none of the great acts performed by these so called knights were ever recorded and even now their treachery continues on, this time however Mark's family is focusing on stealing artifacts of great power.
Although he knows little of his family's history and is slightly different from the rest he still has developed an eye for magical treasures, especially if they're shiny. He's also been trained well in the ways of the sword making him a rather stupid yet powerful opponent as his fighting skills only allows him to degenerate further into a generic bully in many serious situations. Finally along with his training he has recieved a magical sword of light and controls minor psychic powers that will certaintly come in handy later on...
