Advanced Mahou Outfit Guide 💫
Hi guys! I hope you all are excited for more posts to come– AP exams are over, and soon school will be out for the year! To those who have upcoming school exams, or are in the final stretch of school, good luck! We believe in you :) 
Also, another reminder to join Mahou Planet! We have a couple of Summer events we’re planning, gamenights, challenges, etc! It’d be lovely to have you join our endeavors ^^
Now that that’s over, are you guys ready for today’s guide?
Tumblr media
👗 INTRODUCTION TO MAHOU FASHION
If you’re no stranger to the world of magical heroes, you’ll know that they have different outfits whenever they transform. Strikingly different outfits compared to how most of us dress on the norm. Advanced magical heroes will likely know what they’re searching for in terms of outfits, however, beginner magical heroes may not know where to start– that’s what this guide is for! In this guide, I’ll be discussing a couple of tips and tricks to create your magical hero outfit!
Tumblr media
👠 HOW DO I GET STARTED?
To get started, I recommend following some of the advice that I shared on my concept basics post– especially with making lists. I recommend making bulleted lists of what you want/don’t want, specifically in outfits. For example, writing down “I want to wear a skirt” and “I don’t want heels” already narrows down a LOT of possibilities you have for an outfit! 
Another recommendation is to decide a couple of concept themes before you create an outfit, so you can correlate your concept with your outfit. Knowing the basics can help you more than you think– know your desired motifs, colors, etc.
One more important tip, think about what you are comfortable wearing and what you’d like to embody as a magical hero. You can experiment with this by playing dress-up in your bedroom, fitting rooms, etc! Experiment with what you feel comfortable wearing in real life, so you’ll get an idea of what you’d like to wear while doing magic. If you can’t do this, then think about what you would like to wear as a magical hero. Maybe you want to try a new style, or (my personal motivation) defy societal norms/the “dress code” you were raised with. Basically, go out there and experiment! 
Tumblr media
💄 BRAINSTORMING IDEAS
Now that you have these new ideas layed out, it’s time to brainstorm! Go out in the real world or on the wonderful world wide web and search for some outfit ideas! Here are some helpful sources for finding outfits:
Pinterest is a STAPLE for inspiration. Some keywords I recommend are “magical girl”, “magical girl oc”, “magical girl oc design”, “(your aesthetic)core outfit”, “runway outfit” and “stage outfit”!
Research some magical hero animes/games for outfit ideas! Some I recommend looking at are Madoka Magica (more specifically Magia Record since there’s like 1000 magical girls there), Precure, Girls x Heroine, Cocoppa Play, and Pripara!
tumblr (this platform teehee) is also a nice place to search for inspiration! You can use the same keywords above, just with tumblr hashtags!
Play around with dress-up apps like Gacha Life 2, Dolldivine, Everskies, Picrew, and ROBLOX (I know a couple of avatar editor games, if you want me to drop them, just ask!)
Go window shopping (or shopping if you have the money) and look at magical hero-esque outfits! You can go thrifting, to the mall, online shopping, or look at other people’s everyday outfits!
Tumblr media
🎨 DESIGNING THE OUTFIT: SECTION 1
Now that you have inspiration and plenty of ideas to go off of, it’s time to DESIGN! You can design your outfit with any method, from creating collages off of images, to using dress-up games, drawing your design, commissioning an artist, there’s endless possibilities!
The only method I recommend you don’t use is AI art. AI art not only takes credit away from actual artists, but AI art is environmentally harmful and the algorithm searches every image on the internet, including medical records and illegal and problematic images. Mahou Planet has a rule against using AI art: “There will be no AI art usage in this server. This rule is non-negotiable. Accidentally sending AI art without knowing is understandable and can be corrected by deleting the message, however, do not promote the usage of/use AI art.” I will not be willing to argue with anyone about the morality of AI art– know it is not supported by us. There are many better alternatives that can get you a better design, and most importantly- it’s a design that you (for the most part) create yourself!
There are lots of different factors to consider for your outfit design, such as whether you have teammates, uniforms, shared outfit motifs, outfit rules, etc. We’ll go over those in this section!
TEAMMATES
If you have teammates, it may be a good idea to correlate your outfits together to show that you’re a team. 
For example, the magical girls in each Precure season have shared outfit motifs to show their team harmony. I think the Precure season that does this well is GoPri. The Cures in Go Princess Precure each have a tiara with a charm representing their outfits motif, princess-like dresses, a back bow, and a golden gem on their outfits. You can easily look at them and tell that they are a team. 
Tumblr media
Another example of this is of Winx (specifically S1)! The simplicity of their designs, the glittery fabric, the small wings, and the boots are all correlated, even though the girls themselves all stand out with unique takes on these rules. 
Tumblr media
Something to take from these magical girls is that they each have something to tell that they’re a team. If you are a team and want you guys to have shared outfit motifs, make sure that someone can look at a picture of your team and can tell that you guys work together.
A simpler solution to this is uniforms! Uniforms are basically a simpler way to coordinate your teammate outfits. One of the most famous examples of this is Sailor Moon: their outfits, besides some accessories, are the same. The only difference is the color scheme. This is easy for those who don’t want to design unique outfits, or want outfits to stand out in terms of color. 
Here’s a more simplified list of the pros and cons of having uniforms VS unique outfits:
Uniforms
Easy to design
Takes little to no thought
Colors easy to pick out
Can be either simple or complex
Colors may be hard to remember for each member
Limited freedom of expression
Unique Outfits
Harder to design, but a more satisfied finish
Outfit and colors may be hard to remember for each member
Usually complex but some can be simple
Freedom of expression, or much freedom if there are still rules
Harder to coordinate
As you can see, I have a little bit more pros under uniforms. However, do what you want with your designs! I personally always go for unique outfits– some of the unique outfits I’ve seen in the magical hero community look STUNNING!
If you want to have unique outfits or uniforms, a good thing to implement is outfit rules. Rules are basically what you can and can’t do in a design. When I’m designing teammates, I have rules listed under DO, DO NOT, and IT DEPENDS categories.
DO is of stuff you can change, add, modify, etc. For example: you can have a unique hairstyle.
DO NOT is stuff you cannot change, no exceptions! Example: you must keep a bow on your chest.
IT DEPENDS is stuff you can modify, but may be limited. Example: You can change the shape of a skirt, but it must keep white ruffles and be in the color of your theme color.
These rules can vary based on your kind of magical hero and what you want for your team. Remember: you are the designer! Design to your heart's content and what you think looks good for you and your team! 💫
SOLO
If you’re going solo, this section may be a bit more helpful than what I said in the teammates section. Solo outfits usually apply to just yourself, so you have so much more freedom in designing your outfit. When making an outfit, don’t just focus on what looks good. Remember to design an outfit that makes you comfortable, and you only! 
If you want to have teammates in the future, or if you need more guidance on creating outfits, then it’s recommended to create outfit rules, just in case. Or if you’d like 100% freedom on outfit designs, do what you want! It’s your outfit!
THEME COLOR
Choosing a theme color is easier said than done. I see most magical heroes choose their favorite colors as their theme colors, and I have also seen magical heroes put more thought in their theme colors. Do what you want! Even if you don’t want a theme color or want multiple, you are still a valid magical hero!
For color palettes for an outfit, you can go on Pinterest for colors, or go to coolors.co to generate color palettes! A cool thing about coolors is that you can save color palettes for your magical form!
MOTIFS
Motifs are also important to decide on your outfit! To decide outfit motifs, repeating elements in your outfit, think about the theme your magical hero wants to display, or a moral lesson you’d like for whoever you’re fighting/the general public to learn. If you’re a magical hero of love, you can opt for adding heart shapes and motifs to your outfit. If you’re a magical hero of wishes, add some shooting stars on your outfit! It goes on and on for any motifs, it’s all up to you to determine how you use them.
Tumblr media
🎨 DESIGNING THE OUTFIT: SECTION 2
For this section, I’ll go over the more detailed aspects of your design, from top to bottom! I’ll give advice on designing outfits, as well as some practical tips for your magical design.
HAIR
Probably the most famous– magical heroes are notorious for their crazy hair. Most magical heroes you see have long hair, either down or in some updo, and in the color of their theme color or an accent color. Some magical girls have their hair be a variation of their natural hair. You can have any kind of hair you’d like as a magical hero! Here are some of my tips:
Make sure your hair won’t hinder your fighting abilities- it won’t get caught in your outfit, you won’t trip on it, etc. Also, make sure your villains can’t grab your hair to pull you/catch you off guard! This is a common fighting technique and I’ve seen this absolutely destroy people in school fights. If crazy freshman can do it, your villains likely will as well.
Don’t worry about your hair being “easily recognizable” if you’re keeping your natural hair. You can always script in that no one recognizes you or use magic to ensure no one associates you with your secret identity.
As for personal recommendations, I recommend having your hair out of your face. I have bangs in real life and in my magical girl form; sometimes they’re a pain, especially on hot days. It’d kind of hinder your ability to see in your magical form. A good counter to this would be scripting the thickness or thinness of your bangs if you plan on having any, or to script that you see better once you transform (this is good for people with glasses!)
Also recommend to script that you don’t sweat when you transform. Sweat + hair = pain.
Choose a hairstyle you can fight in and feel comfortable with– if you’re not sure where to start, think about hairstyles you would like to try or hairstyles that flatter you. Even hairstyles you wear in real life would be a good start!
Don’t worry about damaging your hair with the color you choose, I’d like to imagine magic changes your hair color, and is completely damage-free! (Really wish this were the case in real life 😭)
HEADGEAR
I know a couple of magical heroes who plan on having hats or SOMETHING on their head in their magical hero form. If you’re interested in having headgear in your magical hero form, here are some precautions and tips:
I don’t want to say it’s a hindrance to have a hat (because I literally wear an ushanka in my magical hero form 💀), but try to find some way it’ll stay on your head while fighting. Unless you don’t anticipate doing crazy backflips, I’d recommend scripting that your headgear won’t fall off even in the craziest situations– or even better, it can only be taken off by your hands only.
Also script that your hat (or better: your entire mh outfit) is the exact size for you, and grows as you grow in civilian form!
Try to find some practicality in it! I see magical heroes go for goggles to replace their civilian form glasses. Some magical heroes wear hats to keep the sun out of their eyes. I had an old concept where my magic came from a top hat (if you know, you know). Hats don’t just have to be fashionable, but I wouldn’t blame you if you wanted something cool just to finish off your outfit.
If you’re looking for hat designs, a good game I recommend for inspiration is Genshin Impact! The creativity the characters have for their headgear is amazing, and I can imagine some magical hero designs based off of just hats alone. Pinterest is also a good place to look!
TOPS
Tops! This is one of my favorite parts of designing! Designing tops is always really fun. Here’s some advice:
I recommend looking up necklines or just pretty tops in general for inspiration! 
Also recommend to have a built-in bra with your top, wearing one separately would be a hassle in my opinion.
One of my biggest pet peeves with strapless tops is it falling down every 5 seconds, so if you have a strapless top, make sure you script that it won’t fall while you’re fighting. 
This is the same for sleeves in general! Script they won’t fall down.
If you have anything tied in your magical form, like ribbons, script that they won’t come out or loose.
Make sure you choose something you’re comfortable with! Script that you’re comfortable in your top, no matter what kind of top you’re going to wear in your magical form.
PSA for magical heroes who want gloves: script that you can use your phone while wearing them. I hate wearing gloves and then having to take them off just to use my phone :( 
If you aren’t planning on wearing gloves, script that you don’t leave fingerprint traces on surfaces you touch, just for security reasons!
I’d hate to continue the “YOU DON’T NEED PAINTED NAILS IF YOU’RE WEARING GLOVES DUHHH!!!!” debate, do what you want with your nails! Pinterest has gorgeous nail designs! If you are wearing gloves, I’d recommend making the color of your nails change the natural color of your nails. Long nails would probably be more of a liability than shorter ones, or you could script your nails are immune to breaking, getting damaged, falling off, etc.
A smart idea would be incorporating your outfit into some kind of use with your magic. For example, if your main weapon is guns, then I’d recommend keeping ammunition on your body, on a sling or a belt. This takes a bit more thought to be put into it, but it’s so worth it and makes a great design in the end!
BOTTOMS
Bottoms are also fun to design! In my opinion, these are the most versatile. There are different directions you can take for bottoms, SO many different directions! Here’s my advice and suggestions:
Go for what makes you the most comfortable! You are 100% a valid magical hero if you go for pants or shorts over a skirt and vice versa! It’s your outfit! If someone has a problem with how you present your magical self, they can kiss your- 💥💥/JOKE /ok but fr ignore people who have problems with your outfit they’re just insecure (/srs)
If you are planning on wearing a skirt, please script safety shorts or opt for a skort instead! I don’t think I should explain why flashing people while you’re fighting is not only embarrassing but dangerous since there are terrible and disgusting weirdos out there. 
If you’re wearing socks, script that they won’t slide down (another pet peeve of mine)
If you want to wear heels, or if your shoes are high heeled, PLEASE script that you know how to fight in heels and won’t fall or trip! Been there done that, it’s not fun. Also scripting that your feet won’t get blisters is a good precaution too!
Also, if you’re wearing a back bow/something on the back/a cape, or anything you’re scared will catch up into something while moving, script that you’re not going to get stuck or nothing will catch your clothes while you’re moving.
MAKEUP
I feel like makeup is a less commonly talked about thing when it comes to magical hero design. I think makeup is also important to consider when you’re transformed! Here are some considerations:
Make sure your makeup is sweat-proof, sensory friendly, and won’t wipe off or get ruined while fighting. Emphasis on sensory friendly, I avoid makeup in civilian form because foundation is absolutely PAINFUL.
Search for makeup styles you like, or go off of makeup you wear or would like to wear in real life! You can go for natural makeup, glamorous makeup, stage makeup, etc.
Royale High on ROBLOX is a good game to look for makeup styles! The makeup in faces (to my knowledge) is free to use! Everskies is also a good game to experiment with makeup!
Tear proof makeup works as well, just in case you end up crying in your magical hero form. 
Tumblr media
🎤 GENERAL TIPS
Keep in mind the environment you’ll be fighting in may change depending on where you go. You may fight in the rain, in snow, on the beach, etc. It’d be a nice idea to accommodate your outfit for such conditions, or to script that your outfit is weather-proof. 
Speaking of accommodations, if you’re disabled, it’s always a great idea to script accommodations for your outfit! You can script that your outfit is sensory friendly, isn’t itchy, and (my favorite) there are no tags on your magical outfit.
I also like to script that my magical outfit is able to regulate heat/coolness! This can work for any outfit, even if you can’t find the logic behind it. It’s magic! That’s all the logic you need!
Make sure you’re able to find some way you can fight in your outfit. Even if you don’t plan on fighting, it’s a good precaution!
Kind of TMI, but if you get periods, script that your outfit is bleed-proof. This is also good if you end up getting hurt in your outfit. Also scripting that your outfit’s immune to tearing or getting injured is a great idea!
A fun way to experiment with how your magical hero outfit may look is to take a full body picture of yourself and then draw over it with your magical hero clothes. You can also dress in aspects of your magical hero outfit in real life with items you have at home (ex. wearing a top similar to the top in your magical hero form) to get a feel of what you’ll be wearing.
If you need design help, I suggest joining Mahou Planet! There are great magical hero designs there and talented designers willing to help you! Searching for inspiration, meshing different pictures of outfits together, and asking friends for help are also valid methods!
Tumblr media
💫 CONCLUSION
In conclusion, there are about a gajillion different ways to create a magical outfit. There’s not one right or wrong way to design, or a “bad” or “good” design: what matters is that you’re comfortable in it and that it’s an outfit you love! Outfit changes are 100% valid, and I’d even recommend scripting variations of your outfit for weather/personal reasons!
At the end of the day, designing should be a fun process. I hope you guys learned a thing or two from this post, and have fun designing your magical hero outfit! Remember to join Mahou Planet to have a chance to choose the next article I write!
See you guys next post!

They took more blood samples today. Still no indication of what they’re using them for. They should know by now that my lifespan has been extended, I mean I’ve been alive for fifteen years and yet everyone keeps telling me I’m nine. They think I believe them but nobody can keep their story straight and when you’ve got a face this cute well no one ever thinks you’re listening. That and SSC can’t keep their mouth shut about how innovative their age slowing technology is. Whatever. The other indication is clearly my advanced nature for my ‘age’ and while I have no problem with being a prodigy it’s pretty boring when all I get to do is sit in my room all day and talk to the ceiling. I’d say I’m joking but I’m only admitting it to myself. Right yeah, blood tests. Six vials this time, from my right arm because my left hasn’t recovered yet and they decided to double check just how well my implants were responding. Totally didn’t kick Steve in the leg on purpose but he shouldn’t have taken my crayons. Mother says she has a surprise for my birthday that’s just gone past but it’s late. I hope it’s something interesting or at the very least entertaining. I tell you any longer looking at this ceiling and it’s going to imprint on my eyes.
Log 1442
It was a data pad! Real technology. Father seemed displeased when I opened it but I couldn’t be happier. I’ve seen all sorts of technology while receiving treatment but this is mine. Mother and father were discussing something about ‘parental controls’ but I don’t think I have to worry about that. All locks can be broken as they say. I’m going to have to start encrypting these logs soon and transferring them onto the data pad. Oh yeah and Steve ‘congratulated’ me on the beginner's tech, he better hope he’s not testing my limb enhancements next time or else my aim’s about to get a whole lot better. I have to be extra covert now with everything I do on this data pad knowing my parents will be attempting to watch me on it every second they can but even they get busy and I just so happen to have a lot of free time on my hands. How much can a few secrets hurt?
Log 3587
The murmurs keep getting louder recently. The stares longer. The nurses are extra kind and even Steve’s given it a rest. It doesn’t take a ‘prodigy’ to know something’s wrong. Father’s started making me sit through his meetings more and more often. It’s hard to tell if I’m being prepared for something when it feels like I know less and less by the day. The hours in my room somehow get longer too, I never thought the absence of my parents would be so chilling. I swear the procedures are more common, nothing drastic but they’re making sure everything is perfect. Presentable. I swear I’ve heard that word repeatedly. I’ve never been presentable enough for anything. I’m not sure I want to be. My old data pad works better than ever though, I’ve managed to upgrade it when any spare parts I’ve ‘found’ lying around. It’s been changing recently though. Green code showing up at random and Lancer mechs I’ve never seen before. They look incredible. I’m going to go looking deeper. I’m starting to think I have to.
Log 4583
Horus. The more I find about it the more that gets erased. They’re a ‘company’ but they don’t hire anyone and they don’t sell any mechs. But they exist I’m sure of it. The mechs they possess: Baylor, Pegasus, Gorgan, Goblin. They aren’t like anything I’ve ever seen. I would argue that with a Goblin I wouldn’t need the implants. I could walk, run. I could be free. Father stopped bringing me to his meetings two months ago. There’s a lock on my door now. Someone comes to get me at meal times and that’s when they search my room. I wouldn’t even know about it without the recording feature I’d added to this. I’m not sure what they’re looking for but if I had to guess it’s likely the data pad that’s giving them so much trouble. I gave it a cloaking feature and it sits in a case on my ceiling when I hear footsteps down the corridor. Even with every procedure it feels like I can hardly move when I wake up. The doctors are concerned. My parents are not. There’s no usual doting but they watch me intently every time I eat my meals. If I wasn’t under a magnifying glass I’d likely follow through on the urges screaming at me not to eat it. It’s ridiculous right? My parents would never do anything, they did everything to make me healthy. They’re doing everything, right?
Log 4767
I got a message on the data pad last night. I was delving deeper into Horus when the little chat bot appeared on my screen. My parents have always warned me about strangers and yet it feels like the people on my side drop by the day. My doctors are constantly changing, I don’t recognise the nurses anymore but they give me small smiles and tell me that everyone misses me. At my age that shouldn’t have made me so emotional. The message was short and I hardly saw it before it was deleted.
YOU NEED TO LEAVE
I didn’t sleep that night. Whatever’s going on I’m not sure whether I’m going to make it out alive.
Log 4782
I turned ‘fourteen’ today. During my celebratory dinner with my parents Steve accidentally tipped his glass on me and my food. Or I thought it was an accident. He’d offered to help me to get cleaned up and had basically dragged me from the room. He’d asked me what I was still doing here frantically but in a whisper. I’d tried to play dumb but mostly I was just in shock. This was my first time properly seeing him in weeks given the rotation of my medical staff. He’d shushed me and continued whispering about the data pad message, that he was serious and this isn’t a joke this time. He told me to eat as little food as possible but smile and pretend everything was normal. He’d pulled me close and told me a secret I’d only dare to write here. My implant has a tracker. Steve said I would’ve figured it out eventually cause I’m a ‘smart kid’ but he wanted to give me every advantage he could. We finished the meal with cake I mushed and pretended to eat. Steve’s words ringing in my head about how I should get better at listening. Maybe he’s right.
Log 4783
Steve’s gone. Something has to change.
Log 4813
I got better at listening. It’s all been a lie. I have to leave soon. I don’t want to know what will happen if I don’t. They’ve presented me with the perfect opportunity however, tomorrow there will be a meeting I'm not to attend. It will last five hours. I don’t know what I’ll do but I know that the tools I have are sharp enough to get this implant out of my leg. I just need to choose the perfect moment.
To anyone who finds this. They can’t be trusted. They never could. We were never the picture perfect family they made us out to be. I am not crazy. Hopefully by the time someone reads this I will be long gone, this data pad will stay in its case concealed on the ceiling. I will leave it recording for as long as its battery can stand. If you find this and I didn’t make it just know you should run. If I can’t save myself then maybe I can save somebody else. Let us both just hope that it’s both.
Signing off.

BIOGRAPHY
Second child from a blue collar family on the fringes of Podolsk, both parents worked factory jobs (mother only part time to manage children). Occasionally watched by a neighbor, an unmarried doctor that worked nights and was the first to make some offhand mention of the “mental illness” that led to homosexuality or people believing themselves to be “the wrong gender” and how they were “treated”. He disappeared from his apartment without a trace when Zmei was 10. To this day Zmei thinks about whether that man was gay and trying to help a fellow queer, or was just trying to correct him early.
Factories had been shutting down or laying off mass amounts of workers already as the union fought about 8 wars with itself, but shut down quickly after Communism and the Soviet Union officially fell in 1991. The family was left scrambling. Zmei was 13.
Scrappy kid needs money? Prizefighting is easy to fall into with so many laid off, angry men looking for an excuse to beat someone up. Zmei starts spending more time focusing on strength and technique, and blue collar Russians are Riddled with machismo and unattainable ideas of masculinity. This does not help the transness, especially with having to “pose as a boy” for safety. 
Rising tension within his family and himself pushed Zmei to run away at 16 with some badly forged paperwork and a dream to one of the new democratic states. Moldova was still largely disorganized, and he was able to get some better, if still inconsistent refugee documentation, but it used the name Zmei and listed him as male. He bounced around continental europe a bit before landing in the UK at 18 (1996), where he is able to officially start to medically transition in ‘96-97 (T, Reassignment Surgery, etc) with NHS access
Instead of purely doing illegal prizefighting, Zmei discovers unsanctioned death matches on the Indie wrestling circuit (turns out, gender is stored in a Crimson Mask and a broom wrapped in barbed wire), and various coaches try to take this kid with a lot of Survival Skills in for actual training in a range of styles (Boxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu/Submission Grappling, etc) to build technique  so he isn’t so reliant on weapons and blood in matches 
After training for a while, he signs up for a beginner NAGA tournament and does much better than expected, which sparks a Deep competitiveness in him. Focusing in on one title, medal or belt at a time, he trains right with single mindedness and deadly focus that gives him a real sense of calm. Winning is  almost addictive, training almost to the breaking point then collecting a new trophy and starting over again, collecting local/national recognition in both boxing and grappling. A lot of his money still comes from being a punk indie wrestler who’s always willing to bleed or do a wild stipulation match for cash and collecting extra from all the people who bet against him.
In 2015, Zmei was competing in a Master Expert Super-Heavyweight No-Gi NAGA championship, and was put into a deadly knee lock for nearly two minutes. He refused to tap, and eventually was able to power out of it when his opponent tried to shift his grip and win the round by pinfall before collapsing. Forcing his way out of the lock had fractured his patella and pieces of his upper tibia, leading to irreparable damage to both ACL and MCL tendons. To this day, Zmei uses a cane when walking/standing for more than a couple minutes, but he DID. NOT. TAP.
Zmei’s more surprised than anything when he’s contacted by the Underdog’s parents about coaching their son for the upcoming Olympics, then realizes he’s accumulated more practice and skill along with titles and credits than he’d realized and after his injury has gained decent renown in British Combat Sports. Besides, it’s boxing, so as long as he can correct Kaan’s footwork, his coaching doesn’t require his knees to be in top shape.
The fallout of the Embezzlement Scheme hits him hard, especially when people start to investigate to see if he was involved at all, and it suddenly looks Very Suspicious that his immigration paperwork doesn't line up after he technically immigrated illegally to avoid persecution for being queer in post-soviet Russia. The fall from grace isn’t pretty, and he’s messily outed to the public.
He handles it as well as he can. Stays in sports, but tries to disappear a bit, facelessly scripting for the anchors who are actually seen on TV and writing weekly sports columns for the paper. But words are hard and he misses his people, misses the rush of a good match and the infectious primal energy of watching someone bleed. On his own time, he starts guest commentating on indie wrestling shows, which slowly leads back to his old home: illegal dark matches in a seedy basement or old warehouse. Seeing himself in a lot of the scrappy kids trying to make a name for themselves, he starts to coach again, then eventually gets tied up in booking; matching up pure boxing/BJJ/etc if fighters want, but reminding fighters that the audience wants/spends more money on bloodsport.
Despite the state of his knee, training with the wide variety fighters in the underground circuits keeps him sharp. If he wanted, he could absolutely kill a man seven different ways with his cane, standing on one leg. He hopes he won’t have to.
OTHER NOTES
Zmei - name comes from dragons in Russian folklore. Sometimes they are male or female, purely multi-headed serpents or humanoid, and generally very mutable. Trans dragon name. 
Mans whole torso is Covered in various scars, especially from barbed wire, glass, thumbtacks, the Forks™️ etc in death matches. He’s a lil too proud of how well his top surgery scars blend in with the rest, esp 20ish years later
Potential Connections: 
 Underdog - Mr. Miyagi type vibe? once and future coach? They find each other again in illegal fights a couple years later and reconnect?
Tower/Combat types - Fights are always open, grinder needs meat and he’s willing to help them beef up 
Gang Leaders - Zmei is many things, but Rich isn’t one. If needed, this old master could be hired by either gang, or even the govt strike team for the right financial compensation.
Doctors - Mans is chronically in pain from something, whether that’s his knee, a back that’s taken too many bumps, etc or just checking in on his dosage of T that he’s been on for about 20 years.
Casino folks/Gamblers - It's a low form of entertainment, but gladiatorial combat is lucrative. Is the Red Rose casino looking for a business deal? Are they trying to shut this gambling den down, or completely neutral to a Neutral party?

5 Simple Steps to Start a Job in Self-Pay Processing?
Tumblr media
Looking for a career in healthcare administration that blends analytical skills and financial understanding? A job in self-pay processing could be your perfect start. With the rise in medical billing jobs, professionals who specialize in handling self-pay accounts are becoming vital in maintaining a hospital's revenue cycle. 
Whether you're starting or switching from a related field like medical coding, this guide walks you through the 5 simple steps to land a role in self-pay processing—no guesswork needed.
Step 1 - Understand the Role of a Self-Pay Processor
Self-pay processing is a core component of the revenue cycle management (RCM) in healthcare. Professionals in this role are responsible for managing patient accounts not covered by insurance, sending payment reminders, negotiating payment plans, and updating account statuses.
If you’re searching for revenue cycle management careers, beginning in self-pay gives you a strong foundation. You’ll get hands-on experience in billing systems, account handling, and patient communications, which are essential across various medical billing jobs.
Step 2 - Meet the Basic Educational Requirements
Most employers require a high school diploma or GED. However, having a degree or diploma in medical billing and coding adds significant value. In growing healthcare markets like India, especially for those exploring Medical Coding Jobs in Chennai, certification from institutes like AAPC or AHIMA gives candidates a competitive edge.
You can also consider short-term certificate programs in medical billing, which often include self-pay modules. These programs help candidates understand terminologies, billing cycles, and compliance.
Step 3 - Get Familiar with Self-Pay Workflows
Before applying for jobs, understand the workflow of self-pay processing. This includes:
Creating and sending patient statements
Resolving billing errors
Handling inbound patient queries
Coordinating with collection agencies (if needed)
Being proactive with these responsibilities is crucial. Entry-level applicants should demonstrate strong communication and data entry skills. Knowing tools like Epic, Medisoft, or Kareo can also boost your resume.
Step 4 - Build Industry-Relevant Skills and Certifications
In addition to formal education, focus on skill development. Soft skills like empathy, time management, and attention to detail are vital in dealing with patients who may struggle with payments.
Popular certifications to explore include:
Certified Revenue Cycle Representative (CRCR)
Certified Medical Reimbursement Specialist (CMRS)
Certified Professional Biller (CPB)
These not only add credibility but also open doors to advanced revenue cycle management careers in hospitals, diagnostic centers, and third-party billing companies.
Step 5 - Apply Through Specialized Healthcare Job Portals
Once you're ready, begin applying through platforms that specialize in medical billing jobs and healthcare recruitment. Projects like RCM HIRE make this process seamless by connecting job seekers to employers looking for skills in medical coding, billing, and self-pay processing.
If you're looking for Medical Coding Jobs, RCM HIRE offers curated job opportunities with genuine employers, helping you avoid spam and irrelevant listings.
Make sure your resume highlights relevant training, software knowledge, and any internships. Customize each application and don’t forget to include a tailored cover letter.
🌟 Bonus Tips for Beginners:
Intern or volunteer at healthcare centers to gain practical experience.
Stay updated with healthcare billing policies and regulations.
Network through LinkedIn or healthcare job fairs.
Practice mock interviews to be confident and prepared.
Conclusion
Starting a job in self-pay processing is more than just entering numbers into a system—it’s about understanding the patient journey and helping healthcare facilities run smoothly. As medical billing jobs continue to grow in demand, now is the best time to build a career in this niche.

Getting Started with Mobile App Development: A Practical Guide for Beginners and Businesses
Tumblr media
In today's fast-moving digital world, mobile apps are no longer a luxury—they’re a necessity. Whether you're a startup founder, a healthcare innovator, or a business owner trying to modernize operations, diving into mobile app development is one of the smartest moves you can make. From idea to execution, the journey may feel overwhelming at first, but once you break it down, it's surprisingly achievable.
Let’s walk through what it really takes to get started with mobile app development—specifically for iOS platforms, hiring the right team, and creating something impactful, like a healthcare mobile app that could truly change lives.
Why Mobile App Development Matters More Than Ever
We live in a world where everything—banking, shopping, learning, and even managing health—is handled through smartphones. Apps aren’t just about convenience anymore; they’re about delivering value at the speed of life.
For businesses, a mobile app opens doors to direct customer engagement, streamlined operations, and new revenue streams. For users, it means instant access to solutions they need, right in their pockets.
Whether you’re a founder or a product manager, understanding the fundamentals of mobile app development will give you a strategic advantage. And if you're operating in industries like healthcare, that knowledge could empower you to create apps that genuinely improve patient outcomes.
Choosing the Right Platform: iOS vs Android
One of the first choices you’ll face is whether to build your app for iOS or Android. Ideally, you’d do both. But if you're just starting out, iOS often makes for a smoother entry point.
Why iOS?
Higher Revenue Potential: iOS users tend to spend more on apps and in-app purchases.
Consistency Across Devices: Unlike Android’s fragmented device ecosystem, iOS development focuses on a limited set of Apple devices, making testing and optimization easier.
Security: Apple’s stringent app review process ensures a safer ecosystem, which is especially important for apps dealing with sensitive data, like healthcare mobile apps.
While Android commands a larger global market share, many startups choose to build for iOS first, learn from user behavior, and then scale to Android.
Hiring the Right Team: The Power of Skilled Developers
You might be wondering: Should I learn to code myself? While tools like Flutter or React Native offer beginner-friendly ways to prototype apps, scaling a high-quality application usually means you need to hire mobile app developers.
Here's why a professional team is crucial:
Experience: Skilled developers know how to turn your vision into a polished, scalable app.
Efficiency: They save you time by avoiding common pitfalls.
Security & Compliance: Especially in sectors like healthcare, you need people who understand regulations like HIPAA and know how to build secure apps.
When choosing developers, look for a team that has experience in your niche. For example, if you’re building a medical app, you’ll want developers who have built healthcare mobile app development projects before. This is not just about writing code—it’s about understanding user needs, compliance, and integrating with systems like EMRs or wearable devices.
A great example of a company that bridges this gap is SMTlabs. They’ve worked on scalable app solutions across various industries, including healthcare, helping clients bring their vision to life with speed and precision.
Healthcare Mobile App Development: Building for Trust and Impact
If you're thinking about building a healthcare mobile app, congratulations—you’re stepping into a space with real potential to change lives. But this also means extra responsibility.
Here’s what you need to keep in mind:
User Privacy: Data sensitivity in healthcare is unmatched. You'll need to comply with regulations like HIPAA (in the U.S.) or GDPR (in the EU).
User Experience: The people using your app might be seniors, patients recovering from surgery, or overworked healthcare professionals. Simplicity is everything.
Integration: Many healthcare apps need to talk to other platforms—like Apple Health, FitBit, or hospital databases. Building these connections securely is a job for pros.
In healthcare, trust is everything. A small bug or confusing interface can cost not just users, but reputations. That’s why hiring experienced developers with a healthcare portfolio is non-negotiable.
From Idea to Launch: The Development Process

For beginners, understanding CNC machining is the first step to appreciating how the industry is transforming production and innovation.
Introduction to CNC Machining
CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control. At its core, CNC machining is a manufacturing process where pre-programmed computer software dictates the movement of factory tools and machinery. This process allows for highly accurate cuts and shaping of raw materials into finished products. Unlike traditional machining, where human operators manually control tools, CNC machines follow precise digital instructions to perform the tasks.
Imagine having a robotic craftsman that can cut metal or plastic parts with micrometer-level precision — that’s the power of CNC machining. The technology originated decades ago, but over time, advancements in computing and mechanical design have elevated CNC machining to a cornerstone of modern manufacturing.
How CNC Machining Works
The magic behind CNC machining lies in its use of computers to control machine movements. First, an operator designs a part using computer-aided design (CAD) software. This design is then converted into a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) program, which generates the instructions (called G-code) that tell the CNC machine exactly how to move.
The key components of a CNC machine include a controller (the computer), the machine itself (which can be a mill, lathe, or router), and the cutting tools. When the program runs, the controller guides the machine's movements, controlling the speed, position, and path of the cutting tool with incredible accuracy.
Starting with a block of raw material, the machine methodically removes excess material by rotating cutting tools or moving the piece along various axes. Each cut is precisely controlled to match the digital design, resulting in a part that is virtually identical every time. This automation minimizes human error and significantly speeds up production.
