Title: On The Boundary ~ Legend of Illusionary Paradise [Discussion Thread]
Post by: Sonae on December 01, 2011, 07:13:53 PM
On The Boundary
When the bell tolls,
And Fate calls your name
There you stand, On the Boundary
Between Life and death, Harmony and Chaos
Existence, and Extinction
Which will you choose?

---INTRODUCTION---

The Hakurei Shrine.
The Shrine on the eastern border of Gensokyo.
As the seasons changed, so did the temperature.
The color of fall slowly began to drain, leaving the trees bare.
As the hues of red, orange and yellow drifted to the ground, an aura of loneliness enveloped the shrine.
Leaves blanketed the ground, making the stone pathway below barely visible. Grass had begun to sprout forth from the various cracks that sat between the stones.
The grass that grew on the sides of the pathway was untamed and overgrown, making it seem more like a forest than a pristine building.
The large red torii still stood proudly in it?s place at the top of the stairs, as if it was watching over Gensokyo, and would continue to for eternity.
The shrine sat silently, as if it had been forgotten by human and youkai alike. The interior was covered in dust, and the exterior worn by weather. This Shrine, whose sole purpose is to protect The Great Hakurei Boundary.
Was without a resident.

A gentle breeze ruffled the leaves that still remained on the trees, knocking one down.
As is slowly floats down, the breeze stops, and silence reigns over the shrine once again.
Eventually, it hovers only centimeters above the ground. Just about to touch.

A sudden gust of wind impacts the walkway, tossing the leaves into the air chaotically.
As the leaves drift towards the ground, the cause of the gust frowns.
?So there?s still no one here??
The girl has short black hair and is wearing an outfit mainly comprised of black and whites with the occasional red.
Hesitantly, the girl lets out a sign and turns to leave.
She casts one more glance at the lonely state of the shrine before leaving in another gust of wind.

---

The Scarlet Devil Mansion.
The home of the famous Scarlet Vampire.
Despite being late in autumn, the garden was still filled with vibrant colors.

A woman with flowing scarlet hair moved slowly and smoothly in front of the mansion?s gate. To those unfamiliar with this practice, it would appear as if she was dancing.
After a few minutes, she stopped.
?Hah!? She said as she placed her hands on her hips and took a few deep breaths.
As if on cue, a small winged being flew over to Meiling. In her arms, she carried a bottle of water. Without saying a word she offered it to Meiling.
?Ah. Thanks? Meiling said as she took the bottle from the fairy maid and took a large gulp.
?Ah! That?s better?? Meiling says aloud to no one in particular. She hands the bottle back to the fairy maid and the small being retreats back into the mansion.
?Well I best re-? As Meiling is speaking, something catches her eye. She turns her head and gazes in its direction.
There in the garden sits a small girl with wings wider than she is tall. She holds an umbrella over her delicate looking body. Unaware of Meiling?s presence, she continues to mouth words that Meiling can?t hear from the distance at which she stands. In front of her is a large rock.
Meiling?s expression becomes one of worry. Her blue eyes seem pained, as if sympathetic. She whispers as she gazes at her.
?Mistress??

---

Hakugyokurou.
The large mansion overlooking the netherworld.
The change of seasons was no exception here.
?Ah~ This is so much better than the summer heat~?
Yuyuko Saigyouji sits on the veranda, watching the autumn scenery.
A moment later, Youmu comes into the room. She?s holding a small tray with two cups of tea on it. She calmy walks over and places it down beside Yuyuko, sitting down beside the tray in an orderly fashion.
?Ah, Thanks Youmu? Yuyuko says as she picks up a cup and takes a sip. Yuyuko makes a pleased sound as she looks out at Hakugyokurou?s grand garden.
After a few moments of silence, Youmu speaks up.
?Lady Yuyuko, you seem very cheerful as of late? She says as she turns her gaze to Yuyuko. ?Why is that??
?Well,? Yuyuko begins, keeping her gaze on the autumn leaves that dance to the ground. ?That?s because it will be a short winter?
Youmu looks puzzled. ?Um?I don?t quite understand?How do you know??
?Well,? Yuyuko turns and smiles at Youmu. ?The flowers are eager to bloom right?? Her smile flickers for a moment. ?Next year will be a fun year?

---

Moriya Shrine.
Log ago, the Hakurei Shrine was the only shrine in Gensokyo.
But years ago, Kanako Yasaka, the resident god of the shrine, decided to move it to Gensokyo in order to gather youkai faith.
Many years have passed since then, and the amount of faith hasn?t changed very much.
Maybe the concept of Faith has changed since the days of old, when power and dominance gained worshippers. Maybe now faith is more transient, and that the gods will need to work hard to garner faith.
Or maybe, there is no more faith.

The autumn leaves danced gently in the cool breeze.
Sanae watched from inside as they whirled about, a warm smile on her face.
Life had been good to her. She had ascended to godhood at an early age, and even though she had to leave the advanced society of the outside behind, she was able to live normally here in Gensokyo.
As she watched the leaves without any cares, a voice called out to her from the front of the shrine.
?Mom!?
Sanae blinked, her awareness returning to the present. She quickly got to her feet and began heading towards the shout.
?Coming!? She called back.

---

Kourindou.
A shop that specializes in goods from the outside world.
However, due to the owner?s poor business sense and no one knowing how to use the items that reside on its shelves, not many things sold.

Rinnosuke sat silently in his store, a book in his hands and a cup of tea within reach. As he flipped through his book, the bell of the shop rung.
Rinnosuke quickly looked up, his words moving faster than his eyes.
?Ah. Is that- Oh, it?s you.?
A small girl with wings came around the corner.
The girl frowns as she flips her hair out of her face. ?You don?t sound to happy to see me? She says as she walks over to Rinnosuke.
?It?s not that, it?s just?? Rinnosuke starts, but the girl cuts him off.
?She still hasn?t shown up?? She asked as if reading his mind.
??Yeah? Rinnosuke says as the girl sits on a near by stool. ?Would you like some tea??
The girl looks at him then nods.
Rinnosuke retrieves the tea and returns soon after. He hands it to the girl and she takes a sip.
?So?? She starts, looking out the window at the sky. ?Has there been any sign of her??
Rinnosuke hesitates, then shakes his head.
?Mr. Kirisame hasn?t heard from her either?
?Oh.? The girl says, lowering her head slightly.
??Are you worried?? The girl says.
Rinnosuke looks at her, then he smiles faintly.
?I imagine it?s natural to worry? He starts, his gaze moving to the window. ?But she?s stronger than I, she can handle herself?
The winged girl looks slightly surprised, but smiles.
?I hope she?s alright.?
?As do I??

Post by: Marokuu on December 01, 2011, 08:48:55 PM
Gratz on finally getting this off the ground. Here's my profile, now edited for readability.

--

Name:真夜 古火 Sanaya Furuika

Age: 20

Gender: Female

Ability: Manipulation of speed which initially manifests as her being able to speed herself up, increasing her movement speed and reaction time. To start off it's only an instinctive reaction that she can not control but as she grows in power she will be able to master it consciously and she might even be able to affect the speed of objects within a certain radius.

Occupation: Youkai Exterminator

Appearance: Black shoulder length hair that is kept in a red headband or hairband, depending on her situation. When off the job she wears a Yukata that is white at the top and fades into a dark purple towards the ground. On the job she wears a hakama and uwagi, similar to an aikidogi (aikido uniform). She also has a harness that holds her weapon, a naginata.

Personality: When not on the job she acts very polite and might even casually interact with youkai. When she has a mission she sets her entire mind to it and takes a considerably more no-nonsense approach to interaction with people, youkai or humans alike. However her temper has a tendency to flare if insulted or if someone messes with someone she knows. She also reacts negatively to people disturbing a peaceful moment, be it training, meditation or just plain relaxation.

Backstory: Born in the human village and at a young age she liked sneaking out on visits to the surrounding countryside. One time she wandered into the bamboo forest of the lost and promptly lost her way. She wandered around, trying to find a way out before getting attacked by a pack of wild youkai.

As she tried to get away from her assailants she experienced a strange feeling of everything slowing down and her suddenly being aware of everything going on. These strange moments of slowdown were the only reason she did not get torn to bits as she ran through the forest as they allowed her to dodge the youkais' attacks. The chase ended when a lady with long white hair and flaming wings swooped down and saved her. Before she could gather her thoughts she had been dropped off outside the forest and the lady was gone, leaving behind nothing but a faint smell of burnt earth. 

The experience made her stop with the random ventures and instead she started putting her time into becoming as strong as the one who had saved her, hoping to someday meet her again. That was when she decided to start practicing using a weapon, soon settling on the naginata as her weapon of choice. She also tried to re-experience the feeling of time slowing down that she had felt during the attack. Sometimes it happened during practice and sometimes it happened while meditating, allowing her to get an hour of meditating done in a few minutes. It also included her starting to listen more to her parents, making her the well behaved lady she is now.

Other: Her fighting style is based on trying to get her opponent into range of her weapon, using its length and balanced center of gravity to block either shots that are close to hitting her or the opponent's own melee attacks. Having trained several years with the weapon her skill with it is quite remarkable, to the level that if the weapon can handle it she could use it as a proper shield in a danmaku fight.

Her calm and polite demeanor has lead to her being liked among the older humans off the village but she does not have many people close to her outside of her family as she lives just past the outskirts of the village, spends a lot of her time training and her trips to the village are usually of a professional nature or occasionally visiting the teahouse on her free time.

For all those wondering what an accepted profile should likely look like, Marou is Accepted.
My Profile wont be up till later, possibly gonna edit it some.

Can we go off the board with jobs? Say, you wanted to be one of Keine's old students who's now become a teacher in their own right? Or would that qualify as 'apprentice'?
Title: Re: On The Boundary ~ Legend of Illusionary Paradise [SignUps OPEN]
Post by: Sonae on December 02, 2011, 10:12:03 AM
I'd say prolly everyone was one of Keine's students when they were younger. But to become a Teacher that'd be an Apprentice, and you'd be working with Keine. You don't have to teach the same subject though.
Title: Re: On The Boundary ~ Legend of Illusionary Paradise [SignUps OPEN]
Post by: Oldmansour on December 02, 2011, 10:19:30 AM
I can live with that. I can think of far worse people to work for than Keine.
Title: Re: On The Boundary ~ Legend of Illusionary Paradise [SignUps OPEN]
Post by: Sonae on December 02, 2011, 10:39:10 AM
Hm.
Now that I look a little more. There's other roles that could be possibly used. Aslong as one makes a convincing profile~
Quoted from Touhou wiki

Quote
Among the people living at the village are Keine Kamishirasawa and Hieda no Akyu. The village has an as of yet unnamed leader, a florist, a woodcutter, a teahouse, a tofu shop, youkai exterminators, and more.
Quote
Some stores stay open late into the night to cater exclusively to youkai

Also, Working for Keine is a definite for a teacher since.
Quote
Keine is the owner and history teacher of the Human Village's school.

Also. Your character doesn't NEED to start with any fighting ability if you don't want them to. But they will need to develop atleast some.
Speaking of fighting. There's Melee fighting, much in the style of the fighters. And there's Danmaku. These two are seperate I spose.Everyone will most likely start off with no spellcards, but will gain them as the rp prgoresses
As for Abilities. One can have an ability that, at it's fullest, would be considered overpowered. But the limitations you place on your ability will balance it. Such as Sanaya (Marou)'s manipulation of speed. At its fullest, Manipulation of speed would be quite overpowered. But the limits of it make it balanced.

Also, if you've got a great idea, don't be afraid to try and convince me.

And yet another also. There will be some 'new' characters~ I hope you'll enjoy them~

Can we use an occupation that's already been taken?
Title: Re: On The Boundary ~ Legend of Illusionary Paradise [SignUps OPEN]
Post by: Marokuu on December 02, 2011, 01:46:11 PM
From what I've gathered there are some occupations that there can be several off such as the exterminator or various apprentices.

Since the sign-ups aren't first come first serve it's also possible that someone that has already submitted their profile doesn't get accepted, leaving the spot open. I'd guess you can use any occupation that has not yet been confirmed as taken but having a substitute might be good.
Title: Re: On The Boundary ~ Legend of Illusionary Paradise [SignUps OPEN]
Post by: Hanzo K. on December 02, 2011, 02:31:01 PM
Well, I might get writer's block if I'm in a combat situation, but I shall do my best, and toss my hat in the ring! o/


Name : Takuma Nanbu

Age : 17

Gender : Male

Ability : Able to invoke the power of Runes.

Occupation : Human Magician

Appearance : Mid-length black hair that's generally tied back, hazel eyes, a perpetually cocky grin. Usually seen wearing a beat-up looking set of overalls he got from a Kappa he met as a token of starting a friendship.
He wears it largely because it's comfortable. He also has a collection of clothing from the outside world that he is often seen in just as much as the Kappa-gifted Overalls.

Personality : Hotblooded, brash, easily riled up, Somewhat immature, tends to laugh at things that most others wouldn't. Chaotic Neutral.

Backstory : As a young child, Takuma was always a handful. He was easily considered one of the Village's "Problem Children".
He would often wander beyond the Village's bounds, which is what earned him the nickname "Village's 'Little' Problem".
As he would often start fights he couldn't finish, and end up bringing them back to the village with him.
One fateful day however, he got into a fight that he had no chance of getting away from.
But he ended up being saved by a certain Ordinary Magician. That golden hair, and her flashy style of combat lit a fire in the young child's heart.
It was then that he realized his 'Reason'. Flash-forward ten years, and the child has now become a Young Man well on the path of becoming a Magician.
Could this have been what it was like for 'Her' in the past? He doesn't know, but he doesn't really care. Because he's happy with the runes he can cast, and his hut out on the village's furthest outskirts. Because to him, that is his own personal slice of the heavens.

Other : Currently he runs a sort of Anything-Goes Shop, doing anything from watching the village's kids, to 'punishing' rowdy Youkai partygoers who've had too much to drink.
Though he also occasionally visits the Teahouse, because sweets are an important part of his diet. Well, to him at least.
His specialty of magic is derived from the 18 Runes of Power, the runes that Odin was said to have learned.
His 'Magic Focus' is a pair of gloves inscribed with the rune 'Thurisaz', a rune associated with the Jotun, the race Loki belonged to.
Of course, it is also his go-to Rune for any sort of problem. From dealing with overly rowdy partygoers, to cooking dinner.
Of course, said rune generally manifests it's effect as a fiery explosion. So it's less a case of 'When all one has is a Hammer', and more a case of 'The bigger an explosion is, the fewer problems it can't solve'. A reckless style for a reckless guy.
He also possesses small mahjong tiles with the other 17 runes engraved on them, which he can use as other focuses, particularly in combinations that he refers to as "Hands". A reference to the fact that they could easily pass for Mahjong Tiles.
He has expressed a strong interest in visiting the Underground, for a few reasons.
First off, he's heard rumors that there's a girl down there who's a total babe, and apparently has a power relating to stuff blowing up. He figures that a chick like that's just his type.
How'd he hear about her? The kappa who gave him the Overalls mentioned her in passing.
The other reason is that he wants to have a good brawl for once. and none of the Youkai on the surface have been able to give him a good fight....Of course, they were all horribly drunk, so that likely factors strongly into it. He has heard in passing that the Youkai down in the underground are pretty strong, and that supposedly a city rife with Oni is down there too. What he wouldn't give to have it out with one o' the Oni. Such a fight-happy young man.

His official title is "One who bears the Rune of Giants", another title is "Magician of The 18 Runes". Although he's only been known to use 3.
Thurisaz, rune of the Jotun. Strongly tied to Loki, Norse god of Trickery.
Hagalaz, rune of Hail.
And Isaz, rune of Ice. Generally used in tandem with Hagalaz, which cannot do much on it's own, much like Isaz.
Of course, he is relatively capable should things come to blows. He happens to be a firm proponent of solving problems through force.
Particularly of the facepunching variety.

He's only ever used Thurisaz at 15% power due to not yet developing a spellcard for it.
He's also expressed much interest in developing a Combination Spellcard for his Isaz-Hagalaz runemagic, which can create a localized hailstorm.

In shooter terms, it's something like this.
Bomb: Giant's Rune, Thurisaz
Shot Type: Severe Hail(Spread type, fusion of Isaz and Hagalaz runes.)

(That little dialogue you see when you're picking someone in the newer touhous.)
Flavor Quote: "Hey now, why bother with Danmaku when I can just beat your face in? Come on, it'll be fun! I punch your face, you pass out! It's a win-win situation! I get to beat your face in, you get to take a nap."



Also, wouldn't Ninjas fall under Youkai Exterminator? I'm confirming this for a friend I'm talking into joining.


EDIT: There, I think I've covered all the minor tweaks and edits.
Title: Re: On The Boundary ~ Legend of Illusionary Paradise [SignUps OPEN]
Post by: Reisen-tanith on December 02, 2011, 02:42:46 PM
Wow while typing up my Chara sheet another was posted... well here is what I had for the Mage
Name: Ozz Cogi
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Ability: Die hard. Really hard to kill (for a human that is), Wont stay down, See Sergeant Rock.
Occupation: Magician
Appearance: A medium sized human with brown hair/green eyes. Wears a Brown over coat over white shirt and tan pants with back pack on his back and quiver on his side while ?on the road? and just the white shirt and tan pants while in the village, a wide brim metal helmet from the outside world and found by him is almost always on his head.

Personality: A studious personality with a spark for adventure Ozz is always looking for something, weather a bite to eat to a missing tome he is searching for it, usually solving a problem or dispute along the way. There is few ways to tick him off but his main rule of respect life is one not to be trifled with.

Back-story: Mages are not well known for there tendency to get down and dirty. Ozz Cogi makes an exception. Brought up on the outskirts of the village; His time was spent hunting, field working and practicing spells when possible. One day while running an errand for his mother, he ended up having to locate a lost cave, help a Yokai with her shopping and run from a mob of fairies. Though no Robin Hood with a bow he is quite skilled and can shoot game.

Other: Ozz has a bag of Camping equipment always on hand as well as a spell book. He is a skilled archer with a short bow (as skilled as Mongolians) and also proficient with his spear/staff. He can use various magic spells but is most proficient with Fire, Ice and Healing spells. One of his favorite tricks is to cast a delayed spell onto an arrow and cast it as it hits the target

(I can make adjustments as to job if needed)

Yes. This is correct. Though some occupations such as Moriya Shrine Maiden can't be two

This is also true.

Quote

Ya better not! I'mma be flat out honest here. I don't really give two shits about random anime references. They do absolutely nothing for the RP or it's plot. And most references I wont get.
A few here and there wont bother me too much, but not one every second line.

Quote
Ability : Able to invoke the power of Runes.

What's dat mean?

Quote
Ability: Die hard. Really hard to kill (for a human that is), Wont stay down,

What are the limits on that, cause that can be overpowered.

Also everyone please note, you are all GENSOKYO Humans. Ones born IN Gensokyo, that have lived their whole life there. So there's like, 99% chance your character is probably Japanese or atleast Asian.

This weekend I'll get around to reading everything. So say if you're planning to join.

Btw. Hakurei miko will be the one CLOSEST to the plot. Due to connections that will be established with Yukari. I'd prefer if the player of said miko is someone I can depend upon to not break rules, be around enough, and write good posts.
Not really a bias, but since I've already chosen my character and I'm not giving her up, I need someone else to fill it.
Title: Re: On The Boundary ~ Legend of Illusionary Paradise [SignUps OPEN]
Post by: Hanzo K. on December 02, 2011, 03:37:12 PM
Rune Invocation is essentially the concept of Rune Magic.

See, the old nordic mages used to believe that each rune had a meaning. A power.
For example, in a rune reading, if Eihwaz shows up, that means that a risk is well worth taking, as it's a rune of risktaking, and being daring.
Quote
Its traditional meaning is yew; because of this Eihwaz is associated with hunting and the daring that hunting necessitates. Eihwaz often appears in a reading to tell the querent, "Go ahead, take the plunge, the risk is worth it in the end." Basically, Eihwaz indicates that the querent has set her sights on a viable target and is unlikely to encounter defeat. And even if she does encounter catastrophe, it will be minor and may in fact be to her advantage in the long run.

Basically, he can use the meaning of runes to perform magics based on the rune's meaning.
For example, a localized chill ala Cirno with use of Isuz(Ice), or an icecube shot with Hagalaz(Hail).

As for references, they're more likely to be mythology references this time around.

Post by: Sonae on December 02, 2011, 03:47:09 PM
Hmm. I like it, it sounds interesting. Just make sure he can't use a shitload in the start. And everyone will have to train to get better.
Does he have to read the rune from something to use it? Like a book or engraving?

Seems I forgot something

Quote
Also, wouldn't Ninjas fall under Youkai Exterminator?

Yes. I actually am hoping for a ninja

Quote
spell book. He is a skilled archer with a short bow (as skilled as Mongolians) and also proficient with his spear/staff

Too many weapons.

Post by: Hanzo K. on December 02, 2011, 03:58:11 PM
That's what the glove is for, as quick access to his personal favorite. Thurisaz/Thorn/Thurs, rune of the Jotun, and Loki.
He also carries small, mahjong tile sized, tablets with the other runes engraved on them, though he has to fish around for them in the pouch he carries them in.
And different Rune Combinations yield different effects. For example, Isuz, rune of Ice, can combine with Hagalaz/Haga/Hagal, rune of Hail(the weather), to create a localized hailstorm.
Which he uses as his shottype.

He could use all 18 Runes of Power, but he uses the three mentioned in the profile simply because, without Spellcards, the others just take too damn long to cast.
As well as being quite draining. The three mentioned are both quickcast-able, and easy on his magic reserves.
He's an impatient guy after all, but it can't be said that he's an idiot....though he often argues with Cirno for no apparent reason.
But you know what they say, you only argue with those who you are most like.


Essentially, the formula is like this.
1/4th Marisa(Role, and overall job)
1/4th Loki(Trickster, personal rune)
1/4th Odin(the use of runes)
1/4th Myself(Overall personality)
Title: Re: On The Boundary ~ Legend of Illusionary Paradise [SignUps OPEN]
Post by: Sonae on December 02, 2011, 04:18:04 PM
I stopped for a moment there when I saw Marisa mentioned. But since 10 years is fine, it's okay.

So far your profile is all good. I think I'll likely accept it.

Also, here's an example of a rejected profile. Jacked right from teh bestiary

Name : Kawashiro Mitori
Age : Unknown
Gender : Female
Species : Kappa
Ability : The ability to prohibit anything
Occupation : Unknown
Appearance : Red-white
Personality : Unknown
Backstory : Abandoned and Unloved. Has a grudge against Humans
Location : Undecided
Other : Enemy

I guess it's also a sneak peak at the beastiary. It's similar in format to Player Charas, but it's slightly different.

Hm... I should add a Danger level to it.

The idea was basically like this.

Kid gets into trouble -> Gets Saved by Marisa -> Wants to grow up to be just like her -> Ends up learning Magic to do so

Basically, it was inspired by Kiritsugu saving Shirou, only less death and destruction.

Die hard basicly means that Ozz will ignore wounds, stuff like blood lose, and over whelming fire power and keep fighting, basicly insane and reckless heroism. In touhou terms, he has alot of lives. I'll drop the spear, I just needed a staff and thought, why not a spear.
I could re-write him into a Hermit type, like a ranger.

So he's basically a berserk, ignoring pain and blood loss until his body gives up and collapses or he's incapacitated or otherwise disabled?

(I'm sorta asking questions from the back seat here simply to save some time, smack me atop the head to make me stop.)

Oh, why not.
Name: Tetsumaru
Age: Appears to be about 15, assumes self to be so.
Gender: Male
Ability: The ability to give form to ideals

Occupation: Apprentice to a blacksmith in the human village

Appearance: Straight black hair, about shoulder length, but generally kept out of his face with a bandana; the rest of his hair is tied back in a ponytail. Favors the aprons and heavy kimonos of his trade, generally in light colors but often times obscured by the dirt and grime. His eyes are a bright shade of brown, and he has a small scar under his left ear from a stray bit of hot metal. He's taller and burlier than average for his 'age'

Personality: Tetsumaru is softspoken but cheerful, introspective but amicable. He's very withdrawn and doesn't mind large gatherings, but he prefers keeping to himself and quiet surroundings. He's fond of reading and regularity; the pounding of the anvil and the churn of the furnace are comforting sounds for him, and the number of books he's bought amount to most, if not all, of his allowance. He partilarly enjoys informative texts, like ones on youkai or fairies.

Backstory:
Lost as a child, Tetsumaru has no memories of before he was 'five'. All he remembers is a flash of green and voiceless screams, both frequent features in his nightmares. He was found by Matsu Jin, the blacksmith of the Human Village, and taken in as an apprentice, hence his unimaginative name for he doesn't remember his old one. It's been ten years since then. He always had an odd aura around him, as if he affected the air itself as he moved. His favorite ball would bounce a bit higher, his tools would last a bit longer, and other little improvements in the things around him. All unknown and unconscious applications of his innate ability. He's otherwise had a fairly uneventful life.

Other: He's fended off youkai a few times, maybe two or three. He favors a canesword, formerly owned by Jin, that he uses as a walking stick due to his frail constitution. For some reason, he's unaffected by the fumes and hard work of the forge in comparison to other physical activity. Recently, he's also completed a longer, more practical, jian, which he's enthusiastic to use but inexperienced in. He's displayed interest in danmaku, but has only a minor innate potential for it. He's quite good at dodging things though, having spent his entire ten year 'life' dodging things thrown from an annoyed or otherwise playful Jin. At the full application of his power, he would perhaps be able to materialize objects out of nothing: a sword that embodies 'sharpness' or a shield that embodies 'protection', but only ever maybe half a dozen at a time. His personal 'ideal' may differ from what may be obvious, too. Because he may find it 'cool', said 'sword of sharpness' may only cut things a second after attacking, but perfectly so. Or that 'shield of protection' may be pierced if an attack hits it that Tetsumaru sincerely believes would shatter it. It's a power of belief.

Should he develop Danmaku, it would most certainly be based around the various 'ideal weapons' he could create. As examples:

Ideal: 'Spear of Extension' : This spellcard creates a long spear, in effect a laser, that extends forever. Upon reaching the edge of the designated danmaku area, it continues extending...but from a different, random point on the danmaku zone's border. A highly unpredictable, fast, and unorthodox spellcard. Based off Tetsumaru's ideal of 'extension'; 'if it can extend, it should be able to keep extending until it reaches what it needs to reach, right?' He's a very functional lad. Upper difficulties of this spellcard would involve danmaku being emanated from the spear, and possibly two or more spears at even higher levels.

Ideal: 'Four Blades of Seeking' : Four danmaku 'blades' are created around the target, each pointing at it from a cardinal direction. The blades do not attack, but lag behind slightly when the target moves and constantly rotate, creating a psuedo restriction. Along with this, at periodic intervals danmaku is created based on the target's position and centered on his position. Tetsumaru believes, as quoted by him, that 'people who can look for things should help other people look for things!' Does it really count if an inanimate object is helping another similar thing, though...? It's very possible to survive this spellcard outside of the ring, though, if one so wishes, but then one has to contend with the ring of blades homing in on them...

Absolute Ideal: Phantasm Armory : A manifestation of his ideals and essentially his true self, this is his last spell card and a survival to boot. He essentially repeats all of his other spellcards for one iteration, but in a distorted manner. 'Spear of Extension' would shatter before reaching the target, and the fragments would become spears of their own. 'Four Swords of Seeking' would move of their own volition and out of tandom with each other, creating not so much a 'prison of blades' but a 'labyrinth.' And for the finale, he sends each and every one of his 'weapons' in a last ditch, dumbfire assault...for better or worse.

As a player character, he would have two playstyles:

Shot type A
Shot: Ideal: Swords of Seeking (Homing Type) (A simple homing type shot. The knives follow strange trajectories before hitting the target though, meaning otherwise untouchable targets may become vulnerable, and the reverse as well. Higher power levesl result in more swords and different unique trajectories.)
Bomb: Conceptual Ideal: Fortress (Experimentation into his abilities has let him make this spellcard. Tetsumaru creates a barrier around him that catches any hostile danmaku; at the end of the duration, all of this is expelled outwards along with a barrage of his own. 'A fortress made out of your enemies wouldn't have to defend against anything, huh...?'

Shot type B
Shot: Ideal: Spear of Extending (Power Type) (Like its pattern version, Spear of Extending as a shot type merely shoots a spear forward at such a speed that it's more or less a laser. However, it deviates slightly if Tetsumaru moves to the right or left, like SakuyaB from PCB, and maintains the refraction function as well, letting Tetsumaru angle in an attack on things otherwise inaccessible. Higher powers result in the spear emanting a larger radius that deals less damage, and at max it can 'cross the border' up to twice before it ends. Stacking it only improves damage slightly, though.)
Bomb: Conceptual Ideal: Siege Weapon (A variation of Fortress. Up until the release of danmaku, it's identical. However, at the release point, it directs all danmaku forward instead of in all directions. For this reason, it's more powerful, but more dangerous; without the omnidirectional expulsion, far less enemy danmaku is cleared. A high risk, high reward bomb. 'Then again, a fortress that destroys your enemies wouldn't have to defend against anything either...')

This is all theoretical, though. He has yet to really develop his power at all, let alone integrating it into Danmaku play.

I just thought of another thing this could possibly mean. That an occupation owned by a Touhou could be used. and my answer to that is. Well, les say things have happened~

There's a reason why Hakugyokurou Gardener isn't on the list.

Name: Laresa Krales
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Ability: Laresa is a mimic, able to copy any ability. She is limited only by proximity, both temporal and spacial. For her to be able to mimic an ability, that ability must have been used within a certain distance of her; the farther away from her its use is, the harder it is for her to mimic it. In addition, she can only mimic that ability for a short time after its use, and the more time has passed, the harder it is.
Occupation: Youkai Exterminator in the Human Village
Appearance: Tall, with long violet hair. Very good-looking. In very good physical shape. Tends to dress fairly simply. Is never seen without her pack. Has several visible scars, most minor. Has one larger scar on her right arm.

Personality: Laresa, it's generally thought, has a fairly questionable grip on sanity. She can often seem unpredictable, and people are rarely sure just how she'll react to anything. She's been known to react with hostility to unexpected physical contact. She's something of a loner. She'll interact with people as needed, but only when needed.
Laresa takes 'over-prepared' to a new extreme. She has at least one plan thought out for every situation she can think of, no matter how unlikely. For most, she has multiple plans. And she often goes to great lengths to prepare them. The pack she keeps on her at all times is magically enchanted to hold an amount far beyond its size. If a plan she comes up with involves an object, she aquires it and keeps it in her pack, which contains a truly impressive amount of stuff. She also, of course, has food and water in the pack, as well as other basics. And she also has a collection of random items in the pack, things meant to be available just in case she encounters a situation she hasn't planned for.

Backstory: Laresa had a fairly normal childhood, or as close to that as one can get in Gensokyo. She was never as afraid of youkai as other children, though. She knew from the start that she wanted to face them, not hide from them. She started training for combat as soon as she could, and decided that if she was going to focus so much on it, it made sense to choose an occupation where she could put it to use. Until a couple years ago, she was just as sociable as the next person, but that suddenly changed one night. Nobody knows why, as she never talks about it.

Other: Laresa's weapon of choice is a bladed staff, which she is quite skilled with. She also has a knife that she's capable with, but she generally uses it more as a tool than as a weapon.

Yay another post!

Anyways. It has been decided. Hanzo is Accepted

Hm. I'm seeing a strangely large amount of youkai exterminators or atleast people who are more prohuman than proyoukai.
This is worrying me. The Hakurei Miko is an absolutely NECCESSARY character in the rp. Being somewhat of a plot trigger.
Moriya miko is also needed since She's already been stated to exist because of the prologue/intro.
And I'd personally like to see a Buddhist or Taoist. Or Both.

Marokuu, welcome back to Eastern Garden, and, Sonae, here's your pro-youkai.

Name: Kisei Kyoki (狂気 気勢) "Yes, the family name is weird. Whatever."

Age: 15 years old

Gender: Female

Power: "Power? I wouldn't know anything about that. All I know is that when everything hurts, they all feel clear and the same. Cramps and strains and all those stuff don't stop me from moving normally."

(Superhuman pain tolerance. The problem is, Kisei is also extremely receptive to pain, i.e. it does not dull her senses or restrict her movement (like strains and cramps and other things), but the pain is sharper and clearer.)

Occupation: "I'm a thief-in-training, but don't you think eight years is enough to be one already?"

(Apprentice of a thief (of youkai origin), though she's already a full-fledged thief by now.)

Appearance: ?I got this red kimono that?s way too big for me, but only at the sleeves, weirdly. I used to have this deep cut on my left arm, and I wrapped a bandage over it, but I?ve never taken it off. My hair?s red, too, and it?s tied in two pigtails. I don?t like long hair. I don?t wear shoes, either, just white socks. And as you can see, I?m way too short for my age.?

(She wears a light red, oversized kimono; it is only oversized at the sleeves. A bandage is wrapped around a hidden wound. Her red shoulder-length hair is tied into two pigtails. She wears white socks. She is approximately 5' 2? tall.) (http://th00.deviantart.net/fs70/300W/i/2011/336/4/a/kisei_kyoki_by_crowcakes-d4hzeh8.png)

Personality: ?Ooh, pretty things! Don?t expect me to do stuff I don?t like, ?cause I hate them. I won?t do anything that isn?t fun. Don?t try sneaking up on me, or else I?ll punch you really, really hard. Just be thankful I miss a lot. And don?t even think about fighting me.?

(She tends to get distracted by new or pretty things. She has absolutely no idea about the concept of urgency, and behaves irreverently when given any task she dislikes (read: a lot). She expects fun at every corner of her life. When she gets surprised by a person, she usually reacts by swinging fists at the person, and fortunately, she misses most of the time, a slight sign of paranoia. In fights, she can get carried away and start attacking like a bloodthirsty killer.)

Backstory: Kisei was born into a family of nighttime shopkeepers. Much like every other child in the Human Village, she woke in the day and slept at night, but in a few occasions, she stayed up long enough to see that her parents' customers were not human, but youkai. This would spark a long, grueling (for everyone else), and otherwise fun journey to learn, from those kind enough to teach her, the art of thievery.

Eight years ago, on one of those times she had stayed up, loitering around her family's shop, one youkai began to cause a big scene among the nocturnal visitors. It was entertaining to watch the victim's things get stolen, and even more fun to watch the ensuing fight. She immediately left the perimeter of the shop, intent on asking the troublemaker how he had done that. Her parents could do nothing but watch the otherwise preventable meeting. The next morning, she decided that she, as a thief, would need a weapon, and a pair of brass knuckles was her first ever loot. Days after, Kisei's sleeping habits began to turn into that of her elders': sleeping in the day, waking at night. When she should have been learning the ropes of the family business, she was learning how to steal.

Being taught by a thief gave her the keen interest of one. She would lock her sights on anything pretty and-or new, and some part of her mind began scheming on how she would steal it.

It was unavoidable that she would, one day, actually lose her restraint and attempt to steal a sword. It looked shiny, she would remind herself. She didn't remember who owned it, a youkai or a human, but it was a very dangerous heist. She did not go unnoticed when she laid a hand on the sheath, and she had to begin fighting for dear life as the wielder unsheathed the blade. The brass knuckles proved to be a reliable weapon as it knocked the blade back consistently, but, eventually, her luck ran out. The blade had caught her by her arm, and the pain was very, very real. However, it did not stop her from smashing the swordsman's arm and running away with the blade in her grasp.

As she ran back home, blood staining undetected across her clothes, she had to wonder why the pain felt ordinary. She was never cut so deeply before, but it wasn't any different from a paper cut. Later on, her parents did find out, and she received the scolding of her life, but it was fun anyway!

She keeps all her spoils hidden in some part of her room, adding to them regularly, but has nowhere to sell them. Every now and then, she begrudgingly mans the store in the place of her mother when she is too caught up with other things. Her internal clock is still nocturnal, but she could wake up at dusk to steal from humans, who were a much easier target than youkai.

Other: ?Everyone doesn?t think I?m 15 because I?m too short for that age. Heck, everyone jokes about it. I?d love to give them a taste of my fists. They have no idea I have knuckle dusters.

?As you already know, I like trouble! No one stops me from stealing, and I steal from everyone. I want everyone to know me and be afraid of me, inside this village and all around Gensokyo! Being stuck here sucks. It?s so boring. I?m afraid I?ll be forced to watch the shop every day for the rest of my life, just like my parents. Also, just going out of line, I hate, hate, hate those goody two-shoes I find everywhere. I don?t understand how they could live like that.?


(No one thinks she's 15 because of her height, and this is a subject of jokes for her friends. She also wields a pair of knuckle dusters hidden by her sleeves, which she uses in impromptu fights and stickups.

Naturally fun-loving, she likes getting into trouble and, despite several warnings, stealing, whether it be from humans or youkai. She likes infamy and being accepted by the vast majority of troublemakers in both the Village and Gensokyo. She hates being stuck in one place for any prolonged period of time, and general boredom. She has the fear of being consigned to one inflexible job, or doing the same thing over and over. Goody two-shes disgust her; she just can't get why anyone would act so nice and proper.)

Title: Re: On The Boundary ~ Legend of Illusionary Paradise [SignUps OPEN]
Post by: Oldmansour on December 03, 2011, 03:31:07 PM
Name: Kohaku Daidouji
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Abilitiy: Power of Chains. She has the ability to manifest and project up to six lengths of chain, extendable up to 20 feet in length. She can control them with her mind. Controlling more than one chain, however, is very taxing and draining, so she tries not to employ more than one simultaneously. And when she does manifest two or more, she tries not to do anything too complicated with them. A chain separated from her body vanishes after a minute.
            She can also imbue her chains with elemental properties, such as fire and ice. Thus far in her young life, those two are the only elements she's proven capable of manifesting. Forest, air/lightning, water, and earth are also possible, in theory, with more time and practice.
            As time progress, and she develops her powers more, they will extend to physiological forms of chains as well. For instance, she will be able to see the chains of responsibility, or duty, or grief, or affection, etc. upon someone's heart, see the things that 'chain' them. She will not be able to manipulate the chains of others, only sense them, but she may be able to imbue her own chains with those properties, and employ them against others. A chain is more than a mere weapon, more than a means of control. A chain is a tether, a bond, connecting one thing, one person, to another. That is the ultimate nature of Kohaku's powers.
Occupation: Mario Hakurei Shrine Maiden
Appearance: About 5'6, with long lavender hair and pale blue eyes. Usually wears a long kimono, white with a cherry blossom motif, with a purple and blue obi. Wears a silver ring with a ruby jewel, a gift from her brother before he ran away from the village, and a stylized silver lotus hairpin.

Personality: Despite being relatively wealthy, she knows the value of a dollar. She's very generous, and selfless, always willing to help people when they need. Intellectual and soulful, she can usually be found either with her nose in a book, or her hands on one of the instruments she plays. Very friendly in general, but she prefers the company of youkai, and does odd jobs for Keine whenever she can find the time. Hates lying and being lied to, she tries to avoid even little white lies that everyone tells. Her past makes her a little slow to truly trust another, but she still enjoys making friends whenever she can. If anything, she doesn't have a sense of her own true worth, as the two people in her life she's cared most about have both left her. A very sensual person, but in moderation, believing in the importance of physical pleasure, but never excessive amounts thereof. She holds herself to personal truths such as "rest without sloth", "sex without exploitation", "luxury without greed" and others in a similar vein. And always puts others' pleasure, others needs, before her own.

Background: Eldest daughter of a jewelcrafter in the human village.  A former student of Keine's, like most people her age in the human village, the lessons taught on the races of youkai left a strong impression on the young Kohaku. She became fascinated by youkai at a young age, wondering how they could seem so human, yet be more than simply human. She spent as much time around youkai as could, which wasn't as much as she might have liked, given that she lived in the human village. Indeed, she may have left for youkai mountain, were it not for her family asking her to stay. They would have wanted her to stay, anyway, but the departure of her brother Koryu made her want to stay all the more, for their benefit.
She was the 'good' child of the family, her younger brother Koryu having powers of his own, but not as content with life as she was. He was frustrated by the prospect of having a mere human lifespan, and saw himself as somehow better than the normal humans his own age. Needless to say, he was not well liked about town, and some say that it was only his love for his sister that kept him in line for as long as he was. When Kohaku was 18, he left the village in the middle of the night, vowing to find a way to become a youkai himself. While most villagers were not entirely displeased to see the angry young man leave, Kohaku certainly was, as were the rest of their family.
Kohaku found true love when she was 17, or at least she thought she had. A travelling youkai woman by the name of Haine breezed into town and decided she liked the cut of young Kohaku's jib. She stuck around for a while, and took quite a shine to both young Daidoujis, helping both of them refine their powers as best as she could, teaching Kohaku to play the flute and the ocarina, and Koryu to play the piano, in addition to enjoying their company. In more ways than one, in Kohaku's case. Koryu was a little too young for her. After a few weeks, however, Haine's wanderlust got the better of her (or so she told the Daidoujis) and she breezed out of town just as suddenly as she came. It took quite some time for Kohaku to recover from this, but if one good thing came of it, she was better prepared to cope when her brother left a year later. Kohaku has since vowed to find both of them, one day. Well, two good things, as Haine helped the young woman understand her own sexuality. A fact she has enjoyed since.

Other: Her family's been friendly with youkai for generations, going back even to when human-youkai relations were not as rosy as they are now. Some villagers wonder if there's not a bit of youkai blood in the Daidouji family tree somewhere. If there is, however, it shows no overt signs, apart from Kohaku and her brothers' special powers, but as there are truly pure humans that have powers of their own, this is not proof. Kohaku, for her part, wishes it was true. She also plays the flute and the violin, but prefers the wood ocarina she received as a parting gift from Haine, the youkai she loved.

Oh, don't feel obligated to sign up just cause I did, YJ.

Sonae, Tetsumaru isn't prohuman, or I wouldn't say he's really taken a side. He's defended the human village before from youkai, but if there was a raid of bandits he'd do so too. If pressed, he'd probably respond that he was prohuman, but only to escape the interrogation.

----------

Year 159. Winter. New Years Eve. Dawn.  Location, Hakurei Shrine.

The abandoned shrine sits silently in the darkness. Not a single sound is heard. Nothing stirs, not even the wind blows. Human and youkai alike are sleeping in their cozy beds, dreaming. All of Gensokyo is still, as if it was just a photograph.

As the time slowly passes, a faint light begins to glow at Gensokyo?s edge. As the dim light reaches the desolate shrine, a figure appears from darkness.

A tall woman steps out onto the snow covered pathway. Her clothes are extravagant, decorated with countless frills and ribbons. She holds a lace parasol in her hands, much like one would rest their hands on a cane or a scepter. She gazes at the uninhabited shrine. Her expression is devoid of emotion, her eyes as sharp as a needle.

As more light begins to pour into Gensokyo, the marvelous scenery becomes more visible.
The woman stands silently and firmly, her gaze locked onto the shrine.
Moments of silence pass slowly, making them seem eternal.
As the sun reaches the horizon, the silence is broken.
?Yukari-sama.?
The woman shifts slightly, turning her head just enough to gaze at her shikigami from the corner of her eye.
?The unrest amongst the youkai is growing. If something isn?t done soon??
?Ran.?
?Yes??
The woman turned to face her subordinate.
?I?ll take care of it.?
?Ah-?
Her eyes met with the fox?s, immediately silencing her.
??I understand.? Was all the shikigami could say in the face of her master.
Without a moment?s hesitation, the fox vanished, as if she had teleported to somewhere far away.

The woman turned her gaze back to the shrine.
?It?ll be soon, don?t worry.? She whispered.
She stood there, as if she was watching over the shrine.
And she did so until the sun had risen into the sky.

Despite being relatively wealthy, she knows the value of a dollar.
Which is an impressive feat in and of itself within the confines of Gensokyo  :smug:

I'm seeing alot of polearms around here...

Crow Cakes is Accepted

As for the rest of you, I'd like for you to consider where we'd end up if everyone had a polearm.

There are a few of NPOC's that are purely melee based. In particular, there is one that WILL be able to shatter thin flimsy weapons with a single punch.

Anyways, I'm nto saying polearms aren't allowed. But I'd prefer if people were a little...unique with their weapons.

Amra, Does Tetsumaru wield both a spear and a sword?

He has a spear only, at this point. He hasn't developed any of his powers at all, so he doesn't have a sword unless he's delivering wares from the forge.

Actually, I'll change it to a canesword, if that's not a problem.

He'd make a split decision based on what he sees as it collides with the shield, and that would determine the effect. Of course, if he's vastly outpowered, then it wouldn't matter at all.
If it comes down to it though, anything that he's never imagined would probably break it.

GYMO, Question. Define 'Prepared for anything she can imagine' Like what sort of things would she have ready?

Literally anything she can think of. It's kind of hard to think of a supposedly-imposible situation in Gensokyo, where the impossible happens all the time, so I'll use an example from a previous use of the Laresa character, in a Pokemon story. She was a traveling trainer, and she kept in her pack a photo album. In this album were photos of locations all around the world. She compiled the album herself, and did so for one purpose: in the event that she suddenly finds herself instantly relocated (meaning teleported to an unfamiliar location), she compares the photos with her surroundings to get an idea of where she is. This isn't nearly as crazy a scenario in Gensokyo, but it should give you an idea. When I say 'anything she can think of', I'm not exaggerating. If she finds herself chained up in a basement, she has a plan for that. If she finds herself under attack by flying wolves, she has a plan for that. If she has to get from point A to point B without arms or legs, she has a plan for that. If she gets swallowed by a giant crow that then gets eaten by giant leeches, she has a plan for that (I did say she was kind of crazy). There is, of course, no garuntee that her plans will work, but she does have them.

And if that makes her sound too capable, well, I can assure you that when I actually play her, it won't come across that way at all.
Title: Re: On The Boundary ~ Legend of Illusionary Paradise [SignUps OPEN]
Post by: trancehime on December 04, 2011, 02:13:02 AM
i hate myself so let's DO THIS

Name: Yamagishi Senri 山岸千里
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Ability: The power to banish earthly desires; that is, Senri has the power to erase from any being their material wants, and see things from a different perspective. It seems to be powerless at times, but depending on the situation, could be quite useful. To be more detailed, it operates either on a surface level (through speech) or on a low-level (through phantasmic means).
Occupation: Works over at the Human Village's teahouse, basically he helps make and serve tea there. He is a huge tea fanatic and greatly enjoys the time he spends working there, and it does help that he gets to chat with the locals who frequent the place about... things in general!

Appearance: Senri is fairly short, somewhere around five foot six, and has an unusually lithe figure for a guy. One could say that he was almost considered as born a girl but after a few months they found out he was a boy! Crazy. As a result, his body is extremely delicate and at times can be pretty soft; therefore it is fairly frail, and one should be careful not to knock him around and about (that also means he can't take hits very well). He has very neatly kept silver hair, it would be long but it was tied into twintails, which are kept in place by a small red ribbon on each side. He is often seen wearing a very distinctive furisode kimono (it is a kimono with very long, flowing sleeves like this picture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Furisode.JPG)) which is black in color, and has a very minimalistic floral motif, mostly consisting of sakura blossoms in the corner. The same motif can be seen on the sleeves. One does not see what kind of footwear Senri wears, leading to confusion as to what kind of geta he wears due to the distinctive clatter he makes whenever he walks. Some people say that he wears a tengu's one-tooth geta, but generally that is considered an outrageous claim as that would have to make Senri's balance skills beyond godlike for a human to both deliver tea AND walk around in tengu's one-tooth geta. He looks basically like an incredibly dainty girl.

Personality: Senri is the kind of person who tries to be compassionate to those around him, except if they are obviously "bad people," which usually tends to consist of people Senri find unruly or fall under his definition of unjust. What is his definiton of unjust? Well, the typical definition you hear in the stories, one would suppose; the kind who would kidnap your girlfriend and make you travel a bazillion long distances only to magic her away to another place. He's quite caring and very empathetic towards their needs but if he can't cater to them, he'll at least try to hear them out and offer to be a comforting hand. His parents were quite strict about that, anyway - always convincing him that his appearance was to help him travel the path of being a "good person" but Senri has never understood that yet. He also really likes tea. Like, he really really likes tea. Outside of the compassionate aspect, he's in some ways a pretty talkative person if you bother to approach him at all and bug him about something - he'll only shoo you away if he's busy but he will still most likely return to your attention. In other words, he's kind of like the school nurse in most stereotypical animu that have them, only less one-dimensional and more dynamic as a character.

Background: Senri's name was chosen because it literally meant 1000 li, signifying that he'd be able to go a long way in life. Well, that's what Senri's dad said, anyway. The name actually came from his mother who encountered a strange spirit before she gave birth to Senri, or rather, a strange mountain cat who had uttered some strange things to her. Most people who first read Senri's name mistakenly pronounce his name as Chisato, because it uses the same kanji, but is incorrect. He has an older sister by the name of Aika, who acted as a caretaker towards Senri which influenced the way he lived a little bit. Aika had already been trained under their mother and father in the way of the naginata, so she served as somewhat of a strong protectorate figure for the young Senri. Soon, when Senri had turned ten or eleven years old (he doesn't remember), his parents decided to have him take up the art of the katana. Aika was against it, saying he was much too young to be able to handle a blade like that, but the mother said it would be fine. They had him work with a bokken first, and had him trained similarly to one studying general kendo, and after the boy had learned the fundamentals after one or two months, they handed him one of their family heirloom blades.

The heirloom blade in particular seemed not to be a katana at all, to Aika's horror, but a terribly heavy ootachi, or rather, terribly heavy at the time, since Senri was still incredibly young. He struggled to actually lift it and that's when the dad decided to increase his strength through basic martial arts training... It wasn't actually for practical martial arts, rather to increase the boy's arm strength, endurance, and balance. It wasn't very intense at all, which relieved Aika and the mother. It's worth noting that the father worked as a blacksmith and the mother was... Usually out most of the time, only the dad knew where she was at any given time and always said "she was out on business." Senri learned to appreciate tea when he was about thirteen years old, as he would always drink tea after a strenuous time of training, and learned to love the drink so much that when he was older, he wanted to work at the teahouse in the Human Village, so he worked there. Of course, at that time, he was a lot stronger and could actually lift his ootachi without too much difficulty. While the training did help him with his inner strength, his body still wasn't well-built to withstand physical hits, which is why the dad tried not to make training too intense. But it was still a lot for Senri.

Eventually, Senri learned his origins; his name was actually based off the true form of his mother, an actual senri, or the highest form of bakeneko (化け猫) who fell in love with his father and instead of outright killing him by stealing all of his life, only did it incrementally so that they could continue living together. Senri's mother was always out because she was hunting, or fraternizing with her fellow bakeneko. But that left another question - how was Senri actually /born/, then? After all, his mother was a bakeneko, so that left a big question mark in his head as to how he was born. After some snooping around, Aika explained to him that she was adopted, and you were the result of some phenomena similar to a "magicked" birth, that is, his mother and his dad worked together to have another woman bear Senri, explaining his human roots. Basically similar to surrogate mother but not quite.

Presently, Senri works at the human village teahouse and always keeps his ootachi on at all times in case of dire emergencies. Rarely does he actually go out and fight youkai unless they appear in the village to threaten those who cannot defend themselves. Else he just helps them.

Other:

Weapon
妙墨宮大太刀 (Myouzumiguu Ootachi) reference (http://i.imgur.com/ol7Fl.jpg)
Total Length: 194.0cm
Blade Length: 144.0cm
Guard Length: 7.0cm
This particular blade is fairly non-descript, it does not have any elaborate markings or motifs on it, however, the steel alloys used in making this particular weapon are quite distinctly special, because they can resist climate change. It is unknown how exactly this weapon was made, though it's rumoured to be a gift to Senri's father's ancestors, thus it became passed down like a family heirloom. It is always kept wrapped around in red bandages, with a tied rope around it to keep it secure (think Sagara Sanosuke from Rurouni Kenshin) which he holds around. He manages to do this while still serving tea, which is a pretty interesting note.

Style
Senri is more defensively oriented, using the weight of his opponent's attacks to his own advantage, since his ootachi is incredibly heavy, if he forces back the opponent's attack he will gain momentum and be able to retaliate with more ease than if he started with his own offensive. He is more focused on surviving due to his frail build, which further drives his defensive strategy. He also tries to minimize the amount of blood shed, always using the flat of his blade to attack rather than the edge or the tip of the blade. Due to the weight of the weapon, it can still do considerate amounts of damage.

Yes.

As for her mimicing ability, well, to put it in terms she uses, when an ability is used within her range, she automatically takes an imprint of its essence, and can mimic the ability as long as this imprint lasts for (which, as previously mentioned, is longer the closer she was to the use). Since the imprinting happens automatically, yes, she's able to mimic abilites she isn't aware of the use of, because she gets the imprint anyways (which, incidentally, also informs her that the ability is being used).

She wont be able to mimic all abilities. Or atleast she shouldn't try to.

Just because she's capable of using an ability doesn't mean she knows how to properly employ it. Things like Koishi's subconscious manipulation or Yukari's border manipulation she technically can mimic, but she knows better than to try it, because there's no telling what she might end up doing. So yeah, she won't be using things like that.

Back-story: Once a farm boy on the outskirts of the village, a fire ended wiped his family home from the map. He however was hunting alone in the forest at the time and returned to find his home gone. He decided to stake out into the wilderness and live on his own in the woods.

He can use simple native spells but is most proficient with Fire, wind and Healing spells. One of his favorite tricks is to cast a delayed spell onto an arrow or hatchet and cast it as it hits the target.

Okay, Soap!
Everyone listen up!

After going over the profiles quickly. I've decided to give you guys a small simple template to fill out for your background characters. I mainly just want their appearances so I can sprite them
Name : (Obvious)
Appearance : (This is the most important part, atleast for me it is...)
Other :

Anyways. The ones that I'd like to fill that out for are; Haine, Koryu, Aika, and Senri's bakeneko Mother.
I may be able to use them in later situations with your agreeance.

Anyways!
I've decided that. I will allow for the submittance of profiles to the Bestiary by ACCEPTED Applicants.
These profiles have different rules and requirements than the player ones. As they are for NPOCs that may be used at a later point.
Unlike with the Player profiles, I can reject these on ANY basis. These will be characters I will be using when I see fit.
So, this is your chance to get any of your bright ideas into the rp. If you want a rival or such, then submit one!
Without further delay...

Name :
Age :
Gender :
Species : (Can be anything.)
Ability : (Once again, anything. However, if the ability is already taken it will be noted)
Occupation : (Optional)
Appearance : (Important for spriting)
Personality : (Optional)
Backstory : (Entirely Optional)
Location : (In a nonsarcastic/confrontational way, Try me)
Other : (Their Use, How they fight, Enemy or Ally)

Of course, I am not required to submit profiles, since mine go straight into the Bestiary.

Uh....There was something Marou told me to say...
Oh well, it'll hit me later.

EDIT;;
OH KNOW I REMEMBER
/it hit her.
Marou said that I should convert this into a discussion topic once the RP starts.

Post by: trancehime on December 04, 2011, 11:23:53 PM
doop doop doop SURE THING~ I decided to do the appearance in a format that you can use to quickly sprite the characters for your convenience. Well, I'm just following the PatchCon spritesheet "template" you linked to, at least? So I dunno xD

Name: Yamagishi Youko
Appearance: Just use Sakuya's hair, that's basically what Youko's hair is. Her clothing is basically Meiling's clothing except colored red and white instead of green and white. The eyes are typical, colored a dark shade of green. As for leg style, just nab Meiling's. Same with the arms.
Other: Youko is Senri's true mother, who used some form of magic or sorcery in order to have Senri be borne of another woman who was a close friend of his father's. Youko is a senri, the highest form of a bakeneko, which is why she is unable to reproduce normally. Due to this, Senri is mortal, but it didn't really matter, he still had the aptitudes of his real mother and his father. She fights using wakizashi, throwing knives and kunai if she must, though she would much rather resort to trickery and her wit.

Name: Yamagishi Aika
Appearance: Has the same shade of silver hair as Senri, but instead of it being kept in twintails, it's just straight hair, it's comparable to the length of Kaguya Houraisan's hair, complete with hime-cut. Unlike her little brother who wears the fancy-shmancy, Aika is wearing a rather modest pre-dominantly black dress (see: Youmu's dress, except black). Her eyes are green in color (see: Parsee) and she is unusually petitein build  for her age (see: Youmu), nevertheless, she is considerably strong in that regard, taking after her father in that respect.
Other: Aika is Senri's older sister, well-trained in the art of using naginata. Often, the two spar under the watchful eye of their father. It should be worth noting that Aika is far more into combat than Senri is. Unlike Senri, Aika was found abandoned in the Bamboo Forest, and was taken in by Youko and the father.

Oh geez, she looks more like sakuya than my character.

I also have a variety of styles available of my own creation. Including a hair over one eye style.

Edit;
Okay. I've made a sprite for Youko. I kinda deviated from the description though ^^'

Name: Matsu Jin
Appearance: Well built, stout, middle aged man. Deep brown eyes and a functional buzzcut of similarly colored hair. Wears a thick kimono of very dark blue, which is covered to the point of infusion in the ashes and dirt of his trade, that has a simple print of mountains around the bottom.
Other: Adopted father of Tetsumaru. An old, unremarkable smith of the Human Village who nontheless cares deeply about his kid. He was never able to father a child, being born sterile, so embraced the chance to raise Tetsumaru. He's stern, a little socially awkward, but ultimately a caring man.

Trance and I have been talking; if at all possible, can Tetsumaru and Senri be childhood friends? The link is through their dads, who were both smiths and worked together. Hypothetically. :3

Name: Koryu Daidouji
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Species: Human-turned Youkai.
Ability: Freedom. As his sister's power is based on chains, thethers and bonds, Koryu has the ability to free people and things from that which binds them. Rivets from steel, splinters from wood, branches from trees, trees from ground. He can also affect people with it, freeing them from their fears, their courage, unleashing their emotions and instincts, or their reason and logic. It is this power that enabled him to acheive his dream of becoming a true youkai: he freed himself from the chains of humanity, his previous life.
Occupation: Self-styled savior of the living.
Appearance: Braided black hair falling down halfway down his back. Blue trousers and matching vest, with a white shift underneath, all of which showing obvious signs of wear, like a man that's worn them pretty much every day for two years. Which is fairly close to true. Wears a silver ring with a sapphire jewel.
Other: Developed danmaku before his sister, he has spellcards of his own. (Which I'll develop if and when I have need)
The nature of his power also allows him to transform other beings into youkai, which he has done three times before, and these youkai are his friends and followers, devoted to his cause of helping all living beings attain the greatness of youkai-ness, freeing them from the burden of their limited lives. However, he cannot force this transformation upon a living being, it has to be accepted by the other. This is what he and his comrades currently seeks; a way to use his powers on a Gensokyo-wide scale, for the benefit of all.

That's the skeleton of Kohaku's opposite star, anyway. I'll furnish additional details as well as profiles of the three converts of his upon request, if you've a place in this story for him, Sonae.

Post by: [Y]oukai [J]esus on December 05, 2011, 09:46:45 AM
There. This is a ;Serebii; Sign-up.

Name: Nanaya Rekuiemu Kikasu
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Ability: Ability to manipulate Crystals
Occupation: Aspiring Hermit
Appearance: Nanaya has long, around chest-length, flowing purple hair.Her eyes are a coloration of gold surrounded by black pupils.(I hope you don't misunderstand this) Also, whenever she smiles, she smiles to her fullest, and most people that see it can't help but feel happy too. Shes about 164cm tall, with a B, almost C bust size. Her right arm is wrapped in red ribbons, almost as if it's covered in bandages. This somehow reduces the recoil when attempting to use magic. Nanaya wears a white shirt, that has black zig-zag symbols running from her chest to her arms. Also has a necklace with a turquoise embedded in it. Finally, has a long white and red skirt. Actually, it's almost like the lower portion of a dress. Her ankles and feet are presumably wrapped in bandages of some sort, and Nanaya doesn't wear shoes. She looks weak and fragile, but she can give a good fight, due to her past.

Personality:  Nanaya is just like a hyperactive child. Very enthusiastic about almost everything, willing to do anything to have fun, but she is very stubborn when it comes to changing her manor of "Fun" once it has been initiated, like how she trained on magic instead of swordsplay, and how she stuck to it to the end... However, her said Fun, could be just about anything as well! Of course, her "fun" comes on a first-come-first-serve basis. Being the incredibly curious little girl she is, she sticks her head into almost everyone's trouble, even if it means breaking into their house just to say "Hi". Believe me, she does do that. Impulsive and happy-go-lucky, she doesn't really care about her lifestyle and such. Nanaya is also a hoarder of sorts, never willing to pack her home, in the mountains, as her current cave is currently overflowing with somewhat useless - and useful, junk. She collects random items just because they look nice or their names sound catchy.

Being extremely confident and sometimes, arrogent about her abilities, she tends to always say YES to a challenge. Again, any challenge at all!

However, away from the hyperactive side of her, is a part that is fearful of the world. Fearful of people, their thoughts, their actions, and everything. In most cases, this side would appear straight out when meeting a stranger or when Nanaya is in a place that she had never been before. In this state, she is a lost child, innocent and afraid of everything. Curious of most things normal people would consider, well, normal. She opens up to her friends(If she has any), easier in this state, but talks much less.

History:  Nanaya was born to a family of Samurai. As a female, she was never allowed to watch or train in the arts of the sword, so she turned to the more magical side of things. Even when her father finally allowed her to be an Onna-Bugeisha, or female samurai, she refused without hesitating to think, as she found her new abilities more... Fun, in a sense. Her father disliked this, alot, as their family was always comprised of Samurai, and all of them had expert swordsmanship.

Soon enough, at the age of 11, she was forced to learn how to wield a sword into combat. Nanaya hated it. She despised having forsaken training her now honed mysterious skills in exchange for swordsplay, but she had no choice, she had to do what her father wanted. Day after day, she had trained on the katana, hating it more every time she saw it. Every night, she would go outside and meditate, storing more energy inside of her, until it could build up and she could use it to fight instead of having to wield a blade. On her 12th birthday, she had to fight her father for the honor of upholding the clan. Her father was considerably aged, because she was late-born. He had noticed that Nanaya's skill with the blade was improving, but it wasn't because of the constant training. It was because of the energies her body had stored.

Nanaya battled her father, and won just by luck. His expertise in the way of the sword was unmatched by anyone else in the household, but Nanaya's magical enhancements and pure luck, made her successfully win. She was presented with the Arasoi no Ion, her family's heirloom. That night, she went out to the garden with the blade, sat, and practiced her magical abilities. Little did she know, her father was watching... Her father shouted, then ran towards her. Nanaya froze, turning to see her father's eyes... filled with anger... She grabbed the Arasoi no Ion, and fled to the wilderness outside the village, running, running, never stopping, reaching the mountainside...

Nanaya stayed there as a hermit, training never on her sword, but on her magic, eventually being able to use it properly. When she was 14, she ventured deep into the mountains, seeing the almost-abandoned Hakurei Shrine, ignoring it, and going deeper... She entered a cavern filled with glowing light, crystals, statues of mythical beasts... In the center, was a gauntlet... The Eien no Haretsu. Nanaya grabbed it, and walked out, feeling a strange aura from the cave behind her. The next day when she went there, the cavern had colapsed on itself, much to the surprise of Nanaya. She made her home in the mountains near the Hakurei Shrine, beside the colapsed cavern, training as a Yamabushi without using the Arasoi no Ion much. Apparently her father never sent anyone to look for her... So she forged her own path, meeting people like Kasen Ibara, who she respects as her mentor and caretaker of sorts. Life was peaceful.

Weapons:
- Arasoi no Ion, The Aeon Of Strife.
The Aeon Of Strife is a katana, designed to be unable to cut, but block on the back of the blade, and able to cleave with the sharp side. Slightly shorter then other katanas, and is gold on the right and silver on the left. This is a passed down weapon from Nanaya's clan.

- Eien no Haretsu, The Rupture Of Eternity.
The Rupture Of Eternity is a fingerless glove covered by a spiked gauntlet. Black in color, with eight symbols of legendary monsters of the land, surrounding a turquoise, circular gem. It can be used to deliever a staggering blunt force, or break blades if Nanaya successfully blocks a blade imbetween the spikes, jamming it's movement. If this happens, Nanaya can swiftly bend her arm towards herself, creating enough force to snap a sword, however, it is incredibly hard to judge where to jam the spikes with the blade.

Other:  She likes mushrooms. Alot. She also likes frogs. Even more. Also, most of her training was on the Eien no Haretsu, and magical abilities, so her swordsmanship isn't so... trained up. You could easily knock the Arasoi no Ion out of her hand, and she doesn't knock how to parry with blades too.

Post by: Yog-N'yggoth on December 05, 2011, 10:44:57 AM
Right, well I haven't done this sort of thing in a while, so there's probably a couple mistakes or need for more information.


Name: Hotaru Ohno

Age : 23

Gender : Female

Ability: Manipulation of illusions. It is to trick the senses of others. Hotaru can  can make others see (or not) things, make them hear certain sounds, and so on. At the moment, she can trick just one sense (so she can make others see things, but not have said illusion make a sound), but later could extend it to more senses, and it might even be possible for illusions to have some sort of actual effect (in the "your mind makes it real" sense" or maybe more).

Occupation: Nomad/Wanderer

Appearance: A tall, slightly heavyset woman, she keeps her messy black hair a bit short, but a bit long enough so that she can twirl her finger around it when she's in thought. Her eyes are brown and full of youth, and she generally has a happy and energetic smile on her face.

As for clothing, she wears a simple dark green kimono. She also has a knife that's on her side for self-defense, and she carries a long strip of cloth that is either wrapped around her neck like a sort of scarf, or just around her arms. She also carries some essentials for traveling, such as food, a torch, and a blanket.

Personality: Hotaru is a bit quiet, only speaking when she has to. This is partly because she still has a bit of shyness in her, and being reluctant to talk as she tends to speak with a large emphasis like this even when whispering. Past that, and she's a enthusiastic person with a newfound purpose in life.

 She also enjoys stories, and uses them in her own point of view of the world. That everyone has their set path in life, either as a main character in a adventure, or a supporter, the ones in the sidelines. Hotaru doesn't think of this as a thing to be depressed about; She simply wants to try her best as she can in this life, and hopes others would follow that sort of philosophy even though she never forces it on someone else. She also engages herself in self deprecating now and then, mostly alluding to her odd power and reading mostly for the fun of it, and not attempting to discern anything knowledgeable from the text.

As for disposition towards others, Hotaru is amicable to just about anyone. She also feels a sense of wanting to help others like she did herself, so she usually assists people, from doing simple errands, to just attempting to give them advice if she feels that they need it.

Backstory: Hotaru had a quiet, simple life as a child. This caused her to be troubled, being disinterested in everything besides using her odd power she found herself having one day, and the occasional book that she manages to obtain via various methods. She felt herself going in despair, why does she have to live this banal life and not like those in her exciting stories?

 Then she had a epiphany. Nothing like through some fantastic event, but just out of the blue. She won't have a exciting life yes, but only if she stayed the way she was, just moping about herself instead of actually searching for it. She slowly changed herself, being more helpful with the people around her, being a bit more outspoken (and then not after finding out her little speech impediment), and generally just having a positive attitude.

Feeling a little discontented with simply staying in the village, Hotaru decided to travel around Gensokyo, if only to find a enjoyable experience somewhere.

Other: When Hotaru thinks, she generally puts her right hand in a gun shape, the index finger resting on the side of her head and occasionally spinning around her hair. As for fighting ability, Hotaru generally attempts to run or avoid a fight, however when worse comes to worse, she has a knife for protection and her cloth can be used as a  sling.

Is it okay?

x.Analysis.x

x.Kat
Name: Arasoi Kikasu - I see you aren't too creative. Or atleast not creative enough to create a new character. Hm...I spose conflict suits you though~
Age: 17 - No Problem here
Gender: Male - There seems to be alot of males in this rp...but i guess that's fine.
Ability: Ability to use psionic energy. -
Occupation: Kannushi of Moriya Shrine. MALE SHRINE MAIDEN. AWW YEAH.

Appearance: Trance:"What happened to your appearance?"
                          Me:"Isn't it there? That was the only one I-"
                          Trance:"It's not there and it was probably a bazillion words long."
                          Me:" RAEGRAEGRAEGRAEGRAGEFAEC"

Personality: Arasoi is quite an enigmatic person, not really willing to talk much, or reveal much, unless you probe him enough, or get him mad, as he doesn't really think before he does things. However, at times when he does think, he thinks for a really long time, and the plans he can formulate after that train of thought are really, quite spectacular. If anyone is suited for the role of "mastermind" it's Arasoi, and he often has a great deal of insight and understanding about whatever happens in the world, and possesses considerable intellectual prowess, as well. Though he seems flaky and unreliable most of the time, when the safety or security of any being, is at stake, he won't hesitate to get involved, even if it means using others to do the work for him. He could easily be either a villain or a hero, depending on his whims too.

History:  -Will Fill In When Head Not Hurting-

Other:

Abilities-in-depth:


■Able to use Psionic energy to "hide" oneself for a few seconds, ranging from one to seven. This ability has been described as "refracting light", or "melding with the darkness"
■Able to form blades of purple or green energy, lasting until Arasoi's energy is depleted. Requires Five seconds of being stationary and concentrating.
■Can focus all of his energy into a structure or living thing, and if it is unable to contain the energy forming within itself, it will implode. Using this once depletes all of Arasoi's energy.
■Able to create materialized energy in the form of lightning. Currently only usuable for a short few seconds, and the lightning burns then electrifies.

Quote
Psionics refers to the practice, study, or psychic ability of using the mind to induce paranormal phenomena. Examples of this include telepathy, telekinesis, and other workings of the outside world through the psyche.

This may include the generation of psionic objects (similar to Energy Constructs) which, upon coming into contact with the brains of living creatures, are capable of inducing severe mental disorientation, damage and pain[/b] (and sometimes even physical damage).

See the underline? That's a keyword.

Quote
Psionic energy manipulation is the ability to manipulate and wield energy that is produced by the mind. It also incorporates making psi energy a physical force.

she has shown to create balls of psi energy that upon impact, can cause psychological effects on her victims.

See this? This is bad too

Quote
This ability has been shown to give her a natural immunity to mental abilities,

This is definitely not allowed, not for a human atleast.

She'll also be able to produce a protective cocoon from this energy around herself, which will shield her from both physical and mental threats.

Quote
manipulate the psionic energy she absorbs and can release it
Quote
By releasing the energy, she can repel her victims away from her, leaving them unconscious and causing memory loss and intense pain.

Psychic energy manipulation is the ability to manipulate and wield various psychic energies.

disguise herself by removing herself from the memories of others so that they cannot recognise her, and can install irrational fear in others via eye contact.

Psionic weapon production is the ability to make weapons from psionic energy, which then harm their targets mentally.
Quote
Striking a limb would cause mental pain and disorientation, while striking the brain or heart would make a person unconscious, comatose or even DEAD,

Okay now see this one? This is a BIG problem.

able to create any kind of weapon he can think of

Ability jack on Amra.

Quote
The ability to absorb and emit powerful psionic energy at will from both the mind and the body. A mental equivalent of Energy Manipulation.
Quote
This ability is, basically, the psychic equivalent of induced radioactivity. A person can absorb limitless amounts of psionic energy without harm, and emit it at will in small amounts or in a huge blast similar to a shockwave from a supersonic jet. You can even control bursts of energy in your hands, similar to small atomic explosions, like what someone with induced radioactivity could do.
Quote
ApplicationsEdit■Control bursts of psionic energy, similar to radioactivity.
■No psychic could ever hope to read your mind or control you.
■You could eventually develop psychic powers with enough practice.
Quote
LimitationsEdit■Psionic energy bursts can be lethal[/u] to others.
■Extreme levels of power can fatigue you very quickly, and gradually weaken your power.


Now that I have finished presenting my evidence. Lets see how many rules you broke~

Quote
3.   Killing is prohibited unless otherwise stated.
Quote
7.   No one shall be overpowered. This rule will be heavily enforced.

Only 2? Really? Well, not that it is fine for that since you broke or were planning to break the two most important rules.

As for the advisories you ignored...

Quote
  Be creative and unique.

I despise larthargy when it comes to things like this, where you are given the chance to be the most creative.

You also seemed to miss the important note in my first post.

Quote
I value thought, time, creativity, and effort.

And no, copypasting is not thought, time, creativity, nor effort.

So, on these grounds, I deny the ability to use psionic energy.

As for Reisen-tanith.

Out side of the human village the grass blew in the wind. waves of grass flew across the field almost all at the same rate.
Food must be near...
A black wolf thought stalking through the grass.
The wind blows the scent of chicken right to my noes... what great luck!
She thought hungrily.
She approached a small chicken coop on the out skirts of the village, the grass hiding her presence. One of the hens looked up from the feed and looked around the going back to eating. Contrary to popular belief, wolves don't howl too much when they hunt only to communicate with other wolves other wise they are dead silence, which all the chicken heard before her neck snapped was grass and wind. The wolf enjoyed her meal as the remaining chickens wildly panicked and fled. When a rush of cold went over her body,
"Probably nothing." She said to her self... moments later realizing that she spoke. Before she could react however,

Now, I believe that is more than enough evidence to justify my decision.
Before you depart, I'd like you to look over the other player's profiles. Then look at your own. Then I want you to look at how many people I have so far. Then at the number of people Squawkers had. Squawks was one of my close friends. So we talked quite a bit. And I remember he did say that 14 people is way too much. Now, count the roles provided in the first post +1. As you can see, I prepared enough for TEN people. And currently, I'm over that amount. I'm very happy my rp has recieved so much interest, but I don't want to be updating so many people like Squawks did.

So with this, I declare that Reisen-tanith has been Rejected for not meeting the minimum requirements of this roleplay.

Kat, do not rage at this. You only recieved a light slap on the wrists. You can edit your sign up and you still have the chance to be accepted. However, I expect you'll put in the effort that atleast everyone else has.

I kinda like Koryu, it's a rather interesting NPC.
And there's irony to it too. His power is the ability to free anything from whatever's binding them. And yet...He himself is bound by his crazy ambition.
I think Takuma'd have a good time slugging it out with 'im. On the grounds of knocking some sense into 'im, as well as 'freeing' Koryu from his own bindings, his delusions.

Should've stuck with manipulation of metal, Kat.

Well, you've got to agree. Reisen + Sakuya + Satori immunity + My character + Sunny + Unamed NPC1 + Nazrin + Iku + Flandre + GodKnowsWhoElse = Tooooooooooooooooooooooo damn overpowered

Name: Koryu Daidouji
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Species: Human-turned Youkai.
Ability: Freedom. As his sister's power is based on chains, thethers and bonds, Koryu has the ability to free people and things from that which binds them. Rivets from steel, splinters from wood, branches from trees, trees from ground. He can also affect people with it, freeing them from their fears, their courage, unleashing their emotions and instincts, or their reason and logic. It is this power that enabled him to acheive his dream of becoming a true youkai: he freed himself from the chains of humanity, his previous life.
Occupation: Self-styled savior of the living.
Appearance: Braided black hair falling down halfway down his back. Blue trousers and matching vest, with a white shift underneath, all of which showing obvious signs of wear, like a man that's worn them pretty much every day for two years. Which is fairly close to true. Wears a silver ring with a sapphire jewel.
Other: Developed danmaku before his sister, he has spellcards of his own. (Which I'll develop if and when I have need)
The nature of his power also allows him to transform other beings into youkai, which he has done three times before, and these youkai are his friends and followers, devoted to his cause of helping all living beings attain the greatness of youkai-ness, freeing them from the burden of their limited lives. However, he cannot force this transformation upon a living being, it has to be accepted by the other. This is what he and his comrades currently seeks; a way to use his powers on a Gensokyo-wide scale, for the benefit of all.

That's the skeleton of Kohaku's opposite star, anyway. I'll furnish additional details as well as profiles of the three converts of his upon request, if you've a place in this story for him, Sonae.

As her profile currently is male. She doesn't qualify for the moriya shrine MAIDEN
But I've started to think of some way to puther to use as a vital NPC to the Plot.
That's if no one fills the role I spose.
Crow. I liek your character. So far, I think she'll be very fun to interact with.

Name : Kochiya Amaya

Age : 17

Gender : Female

Ability : Power of Purification.

Occupation : Moriya Shrine Maiden

Appearance : Amaya is a feminine but athletic young woman with long hair that go down to her hip.  She has yellow eyes and green hair, like her mother (used to have). She is wearing extravagant miko clothes. She wears a vest that leaves her back and shoulders open. Her arms are covered by detached sleeves. The main colours of her cloths is blue and white.
She also is wearing a real long white scarf that close to two times as long as Amaya. It never gets dirty :V
A grass snake is with her, wrapped round her arm or hides under the sleeves. It doesn't have poison and is harmless.

Personality : Amaya is a kind person who is willing to help those in need. She is extroverted and open to the most people or youkai. It is her duty to bring her Shrine faith and she tries as hard as possible to do so. She has much confidence in her abilitys.
Amaya doesn't like winter at all, she hates the cold weather and the snow and tries to stay inside as often as possible during that time of the year. She prefers a mild weather like spring or fall much more.
There are not many thing she treasures. One is her scarf she got by an unknown man in the human village during a cold winter night when she was very young. Since she doesn't like winter very well and she was unpleased with all the snow in the human village and the cold weather. She was obviously very unhappy about it. The unknown man couldn't stand the unhappy little girl and so he gave her his extralong white scarf. It was way too long for Amaya but it was warm and it made her very happy.
The other thing is a grass snake she named Vin she carries arounds with her. She saved the snake when it nearly got eaten by a eagle and is feeding it since then (with some of Suwakos frogs). She keeps the Snake close and talks to it when she's alone.

Backstory : Amaya was born in 142 during a rainy night in autumn. Sanae took it for a sign and named her "rainy night".
She never left the shrine till she turned 6. Since the shrine is on the top of the youkai mountain it would have been nice for her to see some other humans for some time, but all that showed up where youkai and weird other persons.
On a cold winter day, Sanae took Amaya with her to visit the human village. Is wasn't as buzzy as Sanae talked about it. Well it was winter so most people stayed at home.
It was fun to finally see other humans but all the snow didn't make her happy at all. After they met Keine-Sensei and they were about to go home, but Sanae went into a shop to get some stuff they needed at the shrine and Amaya got left behind outside the shop. That was when she got
Sad that she couldn't remember the face of the stranger.
As Amaya became older, Sanae told her about her duty as a shrine maiden and taught her the essential things about it.
Sanae always wonders if her daughter may also be able to cause miracles, but Kanako told her, that her ability lies on a different path.
Amaya herself hasn't noticed her abilitys yet.
Even now that she is 17, Sanae still hasn't given her any hints about it.
Her usual day is sweeping the shrine courtyard and greeting and blessing the visitors of the shrine. She also has to make tea for them. When she is in human village she always looks out for people to help them. Unfortunately she doesn't come into the human village often.

Others:
She hasn't learned any fighting skills yet. Sanae usually takes care of such things. Amaya seen her mother in action but she never tried herself.
(I wonder what her danmaku would be like  :3)

How about the ability of Purification?

On the issue of our characters knowing each other, I imagine that at least most of us grew up in the human village, so we've probably met each other. I'm fine with people knowing Laresa; just make sure that you remember she hasn't been very sociable since that one night two years ago, and so hasn't really been keeping up relationships since then.

They're alright, only real problem I would have at the moment with them is that sometimes I can't exactly make it lengthy. As for RPs, I'm in 2 at the moment, but both are progressing  pretty slow so I don't have to particularly keep up with them.

He could make his clothing into a sort of hard armor, not hard as metal, but just tough enough. For offensive applications, he could say, wrap a piece of clothing and maybe make it a club  (maybe I should add weight adjustment for that).


 And well, I joined last month, so I kinda thought that would be a bit of a factor in it.

Oh, now I understand, Sonae had something like that on his backstory

Mindreading? That was the result of Purified Thinking!

Purification:
"... and the windows of heaven were opened, and the rain was upon the earth. The flood begins, and the waters prevail until all the high mountains are covered fifteen cubits deep. All the people and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens are blotted out from the Earth" muhahahaha lets drown all sinners to purify the world.

I can just imagine the whole thing starting off with Takuma and Kisei brawling for whatever inane reason there might be.
Likely over something exceedingly trivial, like Kisei pilfering one of his snacks without asking*, or him waking her up for whatever reason.
I mean, they both have similar combat styles, with the exception of Takuma's Rune Magic.
He's, a, uh...Rather physically-oriented guy for a Mage.

All in all, just another regular day.

Yes Dorakyura's character's birth magically ended up right on the spot.

As for Purification.
Purification would be capable of purifying water, or cleaning the air of toxins. People can also be purified with much concentration and a bit of a ritual.
Other things possibly could be done, such as cleaning with it, refining metals,
Though it's main function will be the purifying of air to fend off toxins (See:Medicine) And the rituals to purfy one's soul.
You'llprolly also be able to summon Kanako/Suwako, but your summons wont be as strong as Sanae's.

Background characters!

Name: Tsutomu Kyoki (狂気 勤)
Appearance: He wears a navy blue hakama over a black kimono, along with a purple haori with a wave motif at its hem. His hair is black and kept short, not reaching his shoulders. He wears wooden geta. His eyes are light brown, and his eyebrows are slightly slanting down.
Other: Kisei?s father. He runs a shop that caters to youkai, although it may very well pass as a shop of hunting goods. He was the first to see his daughter meeting with the youkai she would learn thievery from, further evidenced by his stolen knuckle dusters. (He has more pairs, but nobody knows that.) Being a shop owner, he objects to this, and tries and dissuades Kisei from continuing with ?that hobby? of hers, knowing that he cannot force her to stop.

Name: Amaya Kyoki (狂気 夜雨)
Appearance: She wears a white kimono that has a gray cloud motif at the hem of the dress and the sleeves. Her hair is also black, tied in a ponytail, reaching her back. Her eyes are also brown, but darker than Tsutomu?s.
Other: Kisei?s mother.  She helps Tsutomu run the shop but can never get used to the regular appearances of youkai at night in the Village. She spends more time with Kisei than Tsutomu does, but Kisei sees them all the time. While she exerts manual labor in the shop, she doesn?t like a single bit of Kisei?s violence. She goes out less often than her husband, but only because he has the easier time sourcing products for their shop.

Compare the world's population, the size of the world, and how much of it is inhabitted to the size of gensokyo.
Yeah. Biiiiiiiiig Difference.
So please do not use the same names. There's plenty of names, and many, MANY kanji out there. While you don't need something liek idk, a name that describes their entire being, I expect you atleast not use the same name twice.

I just make a quick thought for a character, and then run with it. So broad library assistant with a power that doesn't come up very often or is very related to his work it was. It was either that or tableware (which would make a good butler instead I guess...).



Well I could change it to something else like some food vendor, or even Aspiring Hermit if no one hasn't taken it already. And he did just ask; Kinda doubt a lot of people ask for a job there.

Does everyone(almost everyone) want to start the rp then work their way to their job?
Ofc Crow already has his, As would Dorakyura, Kat, Amra,...

Also. Many of you will remember my character's appearance.
Though Kat doesn't need to. Neither does Dorakyura.
And idk how your character's memories all are.
Not insulting but Imma take a guess and say Kisei and Takuma might forget.
And no you haven't all met her. Just seen her.

Chinese =/= Japanese. I must stop depending on Chinese to get kanji. I will edit the name later.

Anyway, I have only three places in the village to start. Kisei's bedroom, the shop, or out in the village itself. Where I end up depends on what time the story starts.

Which eye color does she have? Sanae has like 3

Quote
learn to fly
 charms for danmaku
 learned some chinese kung fu

She wont be able to learn to fly at the beginnig.
She won't have any spellcards at the beginning.
And kung fu? For a shrine maiden?
Her Purification will prolly manifest unconsciously at first. So she wont notice it, but the air around her would be cleaner, as would be the water she drinks.
When Sanae, and Kanako tell her about her ability later on, she'll be able to start to use it consciously.

I thought Sanae has 4 different eye colors, depending on the time of the year? (yellow, green, blue and dark blue .>)
well lets take the "first", yellow eyes.

She wont be able to learn to fly at the beginnig.
She won't have any spellcards at the beginning.
And kung fu? For a shrine maiden?
Her Purification will prolly manifest unconsciously at first. So she wont notice it, but the air around her would be cleaner, as would be the water she drinks.
When Sanae, and Kanako tell her about her ability later on, she'll be able to start to use it consciously.
But kung fu is awesome,
I'm fine with that, but she knows how to make and use charms already, you can't tell me that she didn't learn anything about being a miko when she is 17 already ^^

They are red.

Obi color is pink with white trim.

Appearance: Short black hair and red eyes, five feet and three inches in height, weighs a hundred and eleven pounds. As for clothing, she wears an outfit similar to Koa's and a white ribbon in her hair (See: Youmu).

Personality: Generally quiet and polite to everyone, regardless of the situation. Very good at keeping her calm and masking her emotions, tends to think things through thoroughly before she does something.

Backstory:
   Yumiko was born in the human village, on the 31st of December, 141. Her early life was fairly quiet; for the first few years she found it difficult to be around the other children, if only because her red eyes set her apart so much.

   In the late summer of 147, she was finally allowed to attend school. She took to reading almost immediately, and found herself able to recall any detail she wished from her books; or anything she'd seen, ever. At the time she didn't think much of it; though at times she wondered why, sometimes, very few people could remember the answer to the questions asked. Her first year of schooling otherwise went by mostly uneventfully; she was rather proud of how well she'd done and looked forward to her next year.

   Unfortunately, she'd have to manage things herself for that next year. Late in the summer of 148, she woke up to a quiet house. Her mother hadn't woken her up for breakfast, and it was well past time for it. She got up out of bed, and went downstairs to see them; but when she got to the dining room they weren't there. The kitchen was empty. Their bedroom upstairs was empty. So she sat down in the living room, waiting for the door to open and her parents to come back.
   They never did.

   She went to school herself that year, doing all the things her parents used to do. She'd make sure she got up on time, cooked for herself, ensured the house was at least mostly tidy, and so forth. She never mentioned her parents' disappearance, to anyone. She started to see the schoolteacher more often, having to get her own food and other such things, but their interaction was limited mostly to a brief hello.

   Another year passed, and in the late summer of 149 she noticed she was talking to the schoolteacher more and more. It was less of a passing ?Hello?, and more and more of a conversation between friends. She attended school again like usual, though things were starting to get different. By then she'd realized her ability to recall anything she'd seen or read wasn't normal; she looked for more and more books to read, taking to them like a sponge to water. She knew her eyes were much different than they should be, as well, and kept to herself as time went on.

   After her third year of school, things progressed well between her and Keine; If asked, she would admit to considering them friends, though she still had not mentioned her parents. Summer passed more or less uneventfully, and she began her fourth year, as she had the past three times now. It went on as normal, until late fall that year.

   She woke up one morning to discover she was feeling rather cold; Cold enough it was kind of warm, as odd as that sounded. She pulled the blanket up to her neck and laid there for a while; It was fall, it was supposed to be cold. And so she simply rested under the blanket for a time.

   A while passed, and she wasn't feeling any less cold. So she pushed the blanket off of herself, swung her legs over the edge of the bed, and got up, only to nearly collapse on the floor then and there. She barely managed to stay standing, leaning against the wall to get her bearings. She took a dizzy step towards the door, before rushing over to the wall beside it; and regretted doing so almost immediately as the world spun. After a painfully long time, she managed to get downstairs to the kitchen, making herself a light meal, before returning to bed and falling back asleep.

   When she woke up it was already tomorrow morning, which upset her. Even worse, she didn't feel any better than she did yesterday; In fact, she probably felt worse. She tried, and failed, to even get out of bed. Instead she simply went back to sleep, ignoring the hunger. It was fairly definite she wasn't going to be getting any better any time soon.

   The next day she woke up particularly late, well in the afternoon, due to a loud banging on the door. She wanted to get up to answer it, but knew just as well she couldn't.
   BANG, BANG, BANG.
   A pause.
   ?Alright, fine, if you're not going to open it...!?
   There was a loud ? -sound-, of some sort, she couldn't really make it out clearly. Then heavy footsteps. A frustrated groan. More footsteps, this time up the stairs. A door opening, then closing. Another door. Then the footsteps reached her door, which was pushed open in short order to reveal someone really not expected.
   ?Where have you been all this time?!?

   Well, she sounded a little angry. There was worry in her voice as well, though. Yumiko coughed and pushed herself upright, with a good amount of effort.
   ?Afternoon, Miss Keine. Sorry to cause you any worry.? Her own voice sounded weak, even to herself.
   ?Jeez, a situation like this and you still manage to be so polite... What's wrong with you??

   After a little bit of having to calm her down some, she explained how she'd gotten sick a couple days ago, how at first she could get up and around alright, but how yesterday she couldn't even get out of bed. She managed to convince Keine to get her something to eat, which she held down particularly well for someone who hadn't eaten in two days.
   ?Where are your parents at??
   Of course, she'd managed to notice that. So she explained about that as well, a little reluctantly, and was then on the receiving end of some scolding on how she should've said something before now.

   After she'd gotten over her illness, which, granted, wasn't quickly, she returned to school as normal and generally deflected any questions about her absence. For a brief period of time it was the subject of much inquiry, but after a day or two everyone had more or less forgotten it'd happened.

   She'd started spending more and more time with Keine, after that, and she admitted to herself that it'd gone beyond simply being friends. She was always able to go to her for help, she was always able to count on her to be looking out for her; In a way, it was like having a parent again.

   The years went by slowly, simply, quietly. Eventually she'd learned what there was to learn at the school, and looked to her books for more. And she was still, constantly conscious that she was much different from everyone else there at the village; except Keine. After she'd exhausted her own books, her curiosity was still unsated. She searched for a place she could learn even more, and found such a place when she learned of the library in the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Despite what she'd been told, and what she'd read, it was a chance to learn; and, indeed, a chance to get away from all of the people here at the village who couldn't help but see her as completely different from themselves.

   And so, she packed away what she wanted to keep with her, and left.

Weapon: Her main weapon is a pair of solid throwing disc, which can be razor-edged or blunt as desired; the way she throws them determines whether or not the edge's cover is retracted to expose the blade, and can also determine it's flight and return path. They can also be used as a melee weapon if necessary, though she prefers to use them at range.

Other: ... I actually don't know what to put here.

(There I posted it are you happy now)

Not necessarily, do keep in mind that a long time has passed since Miko's unsealing.
In terms of relation, he'd be closer to Kyouko in terms of things. He'd be there yes, but he'd probably be trying to make sure that the peace either remains, or is made.

Maybe it's just a personal bias of mine, which I admit I am capable of, but I can't help but see Miko as a villain of touhou. Most of the others, except Mima of course, have at least one or two extenuating circumstances around them when you confront them, IE Utsuho, who was unfortunately insane at the time. Miko, however, had none of that. She's as bad as Mima, or worse. Probably start another religious war in gensokyo, if it'd get her back in charge of a nation.
Title: Re: On The Boundary ~ Legend of Illusionary Paradise [SignUps OPEN]
Post by: Hanzo K. on December 08, 2011, 09:37:26 AM
The way I see it, she's a two-bit hack compared to the other genuine villains.
And do note, Mima warmed up and became a playable.

Sure, Miko could be a villain, but there's a whole host of folks who would be more than happy to give 'er a good smack if she started something.
And from what I can understand from the endings, she's decided "Well screw this. There's what, four folks who beat me? Two of which are mere servants. That's it, it's done."
Then again, we've gotta wait for that new book to get translated to see how Miko goes about things.

I need suggestions for the ability of a weapon-collector. Yeah, instead of a weaponsmith like Rod(Threads of Fate), I've decided someone like...that swordsman. Also need help coming up with some weird weapons other than a clawed shield(or buckler)/gauntlet combo and a repeating Danmaku-crossbow.

Actually, would 'Ability to Adapt [to ________]' also work...for a Taoist? I'm going to sleep now, it's 10:47 and tomorrow's gonna be a hell of a day. Or alternatively you...damn I'm not good with planning.

Well I'm debating whether to write it later on in the rp, or make a story of it. With speaking and such.
At the moment it's liek half way between the two. Story and Informative that is. Making it kinda crappy.
I don't want to make her seem better than everyone else. Since she's not. She's a little different from the average, real japanese, but it's not like she's godly amazing or anything.

Also Feel like I'm changing her too much.

ok, BEFORE I go into bed:

Name : Vin

Age : older then 5 years old

Gender : male

Species : grass snake (Natrix natrix)

Ability : He can coil himself around things quite well.Is a symbol of fortune and blessing (an middle european myth thing actually ^^)

Occupation : being sneaky

Appearance : The scales Vin have are black with silver dots on it. His head is also black but he has a golden ring right behind his head. It looks like a crown. He is about 100 cm long and 3 cm thick.

Personality : He seems to like Amaya and doesn't leave her site often. His favorites are amphibian and small mammals aswell as fish1. Most of the time he is wrapped around Amaya's arm (under the sleeves, because it's warm there).
Van doesn't really like Aya or the other tengu and their crows

Backstory : It is not much known about Vin before Amaya found him. Amaya was 12 when she found him. She saved him from a eagle who tried to eat him. Vin was injured and Amaya decided to pep him up.
When she tried to release him, he refused and stayed at Amaya's site. Noone really knows why.

Location : Amaya

Other : Vin is a pet snake and completely harmless.

Question for everyone.
Who would have had their character gone to the human village or atleast sustained much contact with Keine?

Title: Re: On The Boundary ~ Legend of Illusionary Paradise [SignUps OPEN]
Post by: Sonae on December 09, 2011, 02:06:02 AM
Excessive word dump is imminent.

Name : Ayatsuya Sora [彩艶 空] {あやつや そら}
Age : 17
Gender : Female
Ability : Teleportation
Occupation : Scarlet Devil Mansion Maid
Appearance : Short white hair and pinkish red eyes. She?s very pale and of average height. She wears a typical blue and white maid outfit with a black ribbon tied at her neck. She wears long white socks and black heels. When not working, she wears a white semi-fancy dress shirt with the same black ribbon tied to her neck. She wears a black skirt that stops above her knees. Depending on the weather, she?ll wear ordinary socks or thigh highs. Her shoes are black. If it?s overly sunny, she may be spotted with either a hat or a parasol.
Personality : She is calm and collected. She treats everyone politely at first meeting. She is quite accepting of things. Depending on how you act, her attitude can change to friendly or fierce. A very neutral person.
Backstory : The daughter of Ayatsuya Haruka, she was born with white hair, pale skin, and pinkish-red eyes. This was quite surprising to not only her parents, but many of the adults residing in the human village. Gensokyo being the small place it is, was isolated from the extreme human diversity of the outside world. Due to this, they had never seen anything like it amongst humans from the village. Some would say that this wasn?t really their child, but a switched youkai child, while others would just plainly believe she was possessed and such. Haruka wouldn?t listen to them however. She knew that this was her child, not a youkai, and definitely not possessed.
As word spread throughout the village of this ?white? child, Keine soon heard of it and came to visit the mother and her newborn.
As the historian set her eyes upon the child she smiled assuredly.
She informed them that there was nothing wrong with the child. She wasn?t youkai, or possessed. She was a normal human, just like the rest. Keine informed them that long, long ago, one of Japan?s emperors was born the same way, with hair as white as snow.
Sora lived a peaceful life. She went to the school run by Keine.
Other kids weren?t as friendly as Keine had been though, either keeping their distance, or mocking her for the way she looked. However, Keine was sure to not let any sort of mockery go unpunished
While it didn?t feel good, she wasn?t too affected by their words.
It didn?t take her long to learn that she burns easier than others, so she tries to protect her skin however she can.

Year 148, Summer. Sora and her parents go on a trip to the Road of Liminality. The family spends a happy and exciting day having fun at the many stands, enjoying the festival like atmosphere.
As they are about to leave, Sora notices another path that splits off from the road of Liminality.
Curiousity over taking them, they head down the path.
As the walk down the path, Sora?s father starts to feel uneasy, like they should turn and leave immediately. Haruka says it?s fine, and that she can see the road?s end just up ahead.

As they near it, Sora?s face lights up.
There at the end of the path are beautiful flowers, cherry blossoms, tinted violet.
Sora excitedly speeds up, getting ahead of her parents. Her father calls to her, saying it?s dangerous.
As she approaches the trees, a shockwave of pulsating energy lashes out, blowing past the family like a large gust of wind. The wind takes with it the loose sakura petals, creating a flowery storm.
Sora closes her eyes as the wind gushes forth from an unknown source. When she reopens her eyes, she sees something unbelievable.

All around her are countless blood red flowers.
She?s astounded by what she sees, but it doesn?t last long.
Soon, she hears a scream and the sound of crying. She recognizes the voice and immediately runs towards it.
It was her mother?s voice.

The girl runs, her heart pounding faster than it had ever done before.
Soon however, she comes to a clearing. And what she sees there makes her freeze in terror.
There lying face down on the ground is her father.
A red liquid the same colors of the flowers oozes out of his still body. A knife lies beside him, covered in the man?s blood.
Sora?s vision blurs and her body trembles uncontrollably.
Then it notices her.

Standing in front of her mother is a youkai. The same red liquid plastered on the monster?s hands.
As it notices the little girl, it grins devilishly. The youkai says something, but Sora can?t hear it. It?s as if her entire body has shut down. The youkai grins widely as it switches targets to the small child. It walks towards her slowly, fantasizing it?s next kill.
Haruka pleads for it to stop, but it doesn?t relent. Without a second to lose, the mother picks up a rock and throws it at the youkai as hard as she could.
It hits the Youkai right in the back of the head, making it stop in its tracks. It spins around, glaring sharply at the woman.
As a sly grin creeps across the creature?s face, it mocks the mother, declaring that it changed it?s mind, and that she will be the one to die first.
Haruka?s heart pounds with fear. She tries to get up, but a twisted ankle keeps her grounded.
As the youkai moves closer to its target, Haruka accepts her fate and turns her attention to her terrified daughter. She shouts as loud as she can, telling Sora to run, escape, to save herself. Now.
Sora shakes her head weakly, tears beginning to stream down her face.
Haruka pleads to her child, only to be interrupted mid-sentence by a blow to the stomach.
The youkai mocks her, telling her to stop her whining.
Haruka coughs violently, trying to regain her air.
The monster?s grin widens as he drags the woman off the ground and into the air.
Haruka grimaces in pain, trying to breath to no avail.
The youkai tilts it?s head and says one last thing to her.

?How bout I tear your eyes out infront of your kid??
The youkai grins, showing its sharp fangs as it raises its clawed hand towards the woman?s face.

Sora?s heart skips a beat. Tears stream down her face without relent.
Then, the youkai?s nails meet her mother?s right eye.

Haruka lets out a scream of pain.
Sora?s body shakes violently, her heart feeling as if it?s about to explode with every passing second.
What could she do? She was only a child, a small, powerless child.

As the youkai withdraws its blood soaked claw from the woman?s right eye, it smirks slyly, preparing to pierce the next.

?I have to do something?.anything?!?
Then she remembers the knife.
And her mind goes blank.

As the youkai licks some of the blood off its nails, it laughs sinisterly. Just as it begins to raise its claws to the woman?s undamaged eye, it realizes something.
The child was gone.

The youkai?s eyes narrow, a frown replacing the sadistic grin that had covered its face.
The monster throws the woman to the ground and turns in the direction where the girl had been.
She was nowhere to be seen.
And the knife was gone.

---

As if time had been restarted, the girl appeared in front for the creature, knife in hand.
The youkai?s eyes widen, but it doesn?t get the chance to react.
The child puts one hand on the back of the knife, pushing it forward.
It tears open the being?s flesh, blood bursting from the new wound. The youkai falls back onto the ground, Sora following, all the while thrusting the knife into the non-human.
Sora lets out a yell choked by tears as she forces the knife into the youkai?s body with all her might.
Soon enough, the youkai stops moving, and the girl lets go of the knife. Only a part of its handle is protruding from its body.
Sora gasps for breath, gazing at the bloody monster in front of her.
As reality begins to seep in, she crawls over to her mother.
She tugs on her arm, trying to wake her, Haruka doesn?t move. Her eyes are closed, blood smeared across her face.
Sora calls out to her mother weakly, but there?s no answer.
Tears begin to form in her eyes as she calls out again, shaking her mother.
No answer.
Tears streak down her bloodied face. Her shouts dissolve into choked sounds, and then into crying.
Despite her crying, her mother doesn?t wake.
Eventually, her energy dissipates, and soon enough, she also falls asleep.

---

Sora awakes to the orange light of the evening sun shining into the small white room. As she gains her awareness, she realizes she?s lying in a soft, fresh bed.
As she sits up she sees another bed next to the one she was in.
There lay her mother.

Sora?s eyes widen and she leaps up from the bed. She rushes over to her mother and calls her name.
The sudden commotion alerts those just down the hall. The sound of approaching footsteps echo down the long corridor as they come closer to the room.
As the girl begins to cry, two woman come into the room.
The two woman are Keine and a silver haired stranger.
They inform her of what happened, and tell her of the current situation.
Keine introduces the silver haired woman as Eirin Yagokoro, a medical genius not from Gensokyo. She tells Sora that Eirin will be able to make her mother wake up.
Reluctantly, the child wipes the tears from her eyes.
Eirin smiles warmly at the girl, telling her that it won?t take long for her mother to get all better.
Keine then convinces the child to stay with her while Haruka was recovering.

So for the next few months, she (reluctantly) stays with Keine. During this time she attends the village?s school and is forced into helping Keine with the various tasks she performs day to day.

Year 149. Late Spring.
After Sora finishes her supper, Keine proposes they go to Eientei.
Sora was confused as to why she wanted to go there in the rain, but agreed nonetheless.
So after cleaning up, the two set out for Eientei in the heavy spring rain.

As they arrive, Reisen, a rabbit from the moon, welcomes them in. Soon after, Eirin enters the room and says that she?s been waiting for them.
Sora gives the woman a puzzled look, but her question is soon answered as Eirin calls for someone  to come out.
Everyone looks towards the door that Eirin is gazing at.
And then Sora?s eyes widen.

Around the corner comes a  woman with mid-length brown hair and matching brown eyes. As her eyes meet Sora?s, she smiles warmly.
Sora?s eyes light up, her mouth a gape.
Haruka, her mother, is standing before her.
Sora dashes into her mother, hugging her tightly.
A heartfelt reunion during the spring rain.

---

Year 160, Winter, New Year's Day.
As the years passed, Sora grew and matured.
Now at the age of 17, she?s contemplating getting a job.
As she walked through the village in search of one, she overheard something that caught her ear.
A job opening. Not just any job, but one at the famous Scarlet Devil Manor.
A position in the windowless manor. Where?d she?d not have to take such extreme precaution to do such a simple thing as walk about. It was perfect.
With this in mind, she hurried home to tell her mother.

As she came home her mother smiled at her invitingly. The two of them sat down with tea and discussed the situation.
Sora didn?t feel as though she should leave her mother here all alone, but her mother shook her head with a smile. She told her, that no matter how far apart they were, their heart would always be connected, and that if it made Sora happy, she could go wherever she needed.
With a final session of bonding, they hugged tightly, tears slipping down their faces.
Both of them knew it was inevitable. That someday, they?d need to part ways. No matter what.
So Sora prepared herself, to set out on her journey to the devil?s manor.
And so she did.

---------

She is albino. As such, she burns easily in the sun. When she heard there was a job position at the windowless manor, she took that opportunity to find a more suitable place for her to live. As albinos aren?t very common in Japan, she always gets odd stares from the people of the village.
Other : Due to her condition, she doesn?t usually go outside if the sun is too bright. Unlike the Mistress though, sunlight isn?t fatal to her and will only leave her with an irritating burn. Her weapon(s) of choice are knives/daggers. Though the concept of throwing knives at the opponent is rather strange to her. She?s not all that good at quantity, typically able to throw one, or at most two (one in each hand) at a time. Her accuracy is decent while her range is slightly below average. Her ability is ?Teleportation?, which allows her to teleport short distances. As her ability exhausts much energy, things like rapid teleportation are pretty much impossible for her.

Laresa's relationship with her, though, would pretty much be completely professional. They could have even worked together on a few occasions, if that's okay with you, Sonae. I kind of like that idea, actually.

Tetsumaru looks up from the forge, which smolders with a warm fire. He's just starting to put the coals in. "Sensei? What about her?" He speaks her name with a certain familiarity; understandable, since he was schooled in Keine's classroom til the age of 13, where he dropped out in order to pursue further interests in his apprenticeship. He wipes his hands on the already grime ridden apron and hmms. "Yes...I still borrow books from her, though. Do you need something from her?"

She's a maid at the SDM, is white-haired, human, and uses knives... Aside from that there's not much in similarity, unless you see Sakuya moving around during timestop as 'teleporting'...
That said, she looks fine to me.

She's not head maid, she's not a good as Sakuya. Sakuya does not have White hair and never has had white hair. Sakuya could possibly not be human. And what else would a knife use besides utensils? ^^'

Just hit me if i imagine wrong. but

Everyone shall start at early morning During the Late Winter. The Snow is beginning to melt and the cold is receeding.

Most characters shall be either
A) Already awake and preparing for their day, or
B) Just waking up

The exceptions to this will (mainly) be Kisei, who is already awake and watching over the shop, bored out of her mind.

Most everyone, or everyone, will start in the Human Village. Though Dorakyura and Kat aren't required to do so.

@Guardian Tempest
Who says you need an excuse? /points to Laresa
But yes, Outsiders are forbidden.

@Kat
Freezing Rain. It's between Rain (Marisa's and Suwako's Weather) and Hail (Alice's Weather). It shows her energetic and somewhat childish excitement you described, along with some insercurity and fear, whioh showed during her confrontation with her Father.

Okay now that my analysis is complete. I would like you to count the accepted players.
Ten. That's alot. That's how many I planned for.
Now look at those that are still applying.
Three. That would bring the total players pretty damn close to 14. Which is a number I want to avoid at all costs.

RRope darts are chinese martial arts weapons that are pretty much as described: a dart on the end of a rope. The rope is swung around at high speeds, letting the dart flick around at a blinding pace; with only a slight shift in movement, the rope is manipulated and the dart can be shot at ridiculously fast speeds towards vital targets, like the throat or kidneys. An odd weapon for anti-youkai combat, considering how resilient they are. Ropedarts are precision weapons, not brute force.

Egh. I can't allow that. That breaks the 3rd rule.
Notice that our blade using players (Sanaya, Senri, Tetsumaru) can use them defensively. Sanaya's being on the end of a stick. Senri is stated to use his blade in a defensive manner. As for Tetsumaru, I assume his is mostly also a defensive style aswell.

But a rope dart? There's no way that can be used defensively.

To be honest, if you look at the reference, it's basically because that the philosophy is so deep and complex, trying to listen to it gives you brain hemorrhage.

Like...if you try to listen to old, colonial Filipino. It's the same. Or if a poorly educated Filipino tries to listen to complex English verbose then he/she gets a nosebleed for it.


I'll try to fix and justify the rest....I keep getting this 'whatever I have is influencing me right now' feeling.

It hasn't occured to you that sometimes the RP simply has higher standards than what you usually produce?

I'm not trying to sound like an ass here but I get the feeling that you try doing roughly the same amount of work each time and when it doesn't work you chalk it up to "Oh well, it was one of those bad times"

It's way late and I might be talking out of my ass but those are my two cents, Good night sir.

But the quality of work depends on the materials I have, I've gotten Heal quite smoothly and there are some roleplays where I overdid it(TekkenRP). If I couldn't make a Taoist work then I might as well be one of those '11th hour characters'.

Though I too kinda take inspiration from various influences which is probably why I'll never actually try and make a RP myself.  But I generally just see if it would work in a RP, and dilute it with other influences if possible.

No. iirc Senri and Tetsumaru are the only ones who know each other. None of the other characters know eachother. They haven;t spoke, they don't know eachother's names.
As for Keine. Keine's a pretty well known person amongst the Human village anyways. So even if one didn't go to school, they could have still heard of her. Though I believe most would be even slightly acquainted with her. Then there are those that have deeper ties to Keine. Such as Sora and Yumiko.

Also I hope  everyone has even the slightest clue where they're going with their character.

If there's a good fight to be had, he'll be there.
If there's tasty sweets to eaten, he'll be there.
If there's faces that need punching, he'll be there.

Yus! This is officially the Discussion thread.

Player SignUps : CLOSED
Youkai SignUps : OPEN
Sprite Requests : OPEN
Event Requests : ALWAYS OPEN
Suggestions : ALWAYS WELCOME

Note to everyone.
I am VERY impatient. So i typically don't like waiting a week for a post that's like 300 words. If you aren't done fast enough or just keep putting it off, then I really don't care, I'll leave you in the dust.

With that said. There is ONE day left for posts to go up before the first update. I get home early tomorrow so there should be absolutely no reason that I can't post an update then.

Also note, I'm a slow reader AND writer.
Acceptable Excuses will be accepted however.

Okay the post is coming, slowly, but no worries! It shall be done.

Here's your marching orders for the next part.

Sora - Why should I give orders to myself?
Sanaya - Uh, Idk. But you've arrived at the gathering, ofcourse your on the edge of the crowd.
Takuma - Top Secret. You aren't with the others.
Tetsumaru - /shrugs
Kisei - Too short to see what's going on in the center
Laresa - W/e works.
Kohaku - GET UR ASS TA THE VILLAGE CENTER! Or I can just force your father to send you out for stuff. Whatever works.
Senri - No clue.
Uh who else was there?
Nanaya - No orders. I need a post before anything can start with her.
Hotaru - Uh. Idk yet, gonna need another post before i get any ideas.
Amaya - My last post before this one had a hint for your scenario~
Yumiko - POST DAMN IT Same as Nanaya

Now know that this is just me giving a little sneak peak at what will go down. If you have any ideas for things that could occur, the post here to say so!

Also, there are Three Encounterable NPCs in the village center. Four if I count Laresa's special possible encounter. However this encounter is locked until the crowd begins to disperse and/or you head a little out of the village/populated areas.

Sonaes needs bettar post writing music, Please wait while she obtains~

Edit:
Decided I'll just force Kohaku to go into the village. Maybe to get some eggs...

Yup. Which means now you can write a post with her coming across the crowd, her thoughts, and her trying to see the center of the crowd.

Okay I need to say this now.
With a few exceptions, none of the players have met any of the touhous.
Exceptions:
Amaya has met Sanae, Suwako, Kanako, and maybe Aya.
Nanaya has met Kasen and Keine?
Sora has met Keine and Eirin. Has been acquainted with Reisen.
Takuma has been saved by Marisa
Sanaya has been saved by Mokou, Knows Keine
Laresa knows Keine
Kohaku knows Keine
Yumiko has met Keine
Hotaru has met Keine?
Kisei has met...?
Senri has met...?
Tetsumaru has met?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

So basically. ingoring the few exceptions, No one has met any of the touhous.

Hotaru would more than likely know Keine; Trying to help out people, she would probably know other characters or at least, maybe they'll recognize her going on her errands or something.

Her brother being a food vendor would probably also know a particular touhou also dealing with such if she still does but he's background material, so who cares.

I don't really see why you'd apologize about that Sonae, minor bunnying is basically part of your job to push this thing forwards.

Yeah but I wanted to avoid it as much as possible.
So I spose I can add an extra rule that you guys can call me out on if I break it.
8.   The GM may only use player's characters to the extent of minor movements. She may not force the players to speak or commence in larger actions.

Also remember to ask if you are unsure of anything at all

Oh btw good job Hotaru and Senri! Initiating player interaction \o
Also to Marou, for JUST AS PLANNED!

going to post tomorrow when I'm dry  :V

Amaya has met Sanae, Suwako, Kanako, and maybe Aya.

Aya - not so well, there isn't much happening at the shrine so she doesn't come often. Mother told me about her being weird, kind of. Her newspaper sucks.
Momiji - She seems friendly, I met her when mom brought me back from school once.
Keine - It's been a few year but she was my sensei after all. She teached me japanese, math and history. My head still hurt when I think about it...
There are some random youkai's who sometime show up at the shrine.

(ok for you? :V)

Post by: Sonae on December 18, 2011, 12:50:21 AM
Hm. I'm not too sure about Momiji.
And Aya is one of those characters you can encounter nearly anywhere. She goes wherever interesting things happen.
Others that can be encountered anywhere include Koishi, Rumia, Suika, and Yukari.
There's also a few dozen that can be encountered in a variety of places. Not just one like Flan or Satori.

.....DAMNIT
NOW I WANNA MAKE A COMPLETE BESTIARY/CHARACTER GUIDE

Senri hasn't explicitly met any of the touhous but he has heard stories about them from his mother Youko who HAS at some point at least encountered the Yakumos doing ~*~stuff~*~. because before she stayed in with Senri's father she was being sought after by RAYMOO.

Well the only Touhou Senri would conceivably know is Keine, for obvious reasons. :V

And who does Youko know?
And how old is Youko?
I'm assuming when Reimu was after her it was also before Senri was born?

Post by: GuyYouMetOnline on December 18, 2011, 02:14:16 AM
Laresa doesn't really know too many of them (with Keine being the most notable exception), but she's met and would recognize a lot of them, especially those ones you listed that could be encountered anywhere.

Youko, being a senri, has access to all sorts of craziness as the highest level of bakeneko, so Reimu, being naturally wary of such a being running around with the potential to cause trouble, decided to look for her either A] to give her a stern talking to or B] to exterminate her, but Youko said to Reimu "she wasn't that kind of woman," and then they promptly forgot the other one existed for a time. Yes, this all happened before Senri was born. Since the Yakumos are tangentially related to Reimu in a roundabout way, Youko ended up finding out about them through Reimu, and personally met Yukari Yakumo (but not Ran and Chen). Youko met Senri's father while she was at Kourindou, so that means she knows Rinnosuke to a certain degree. She knows Keine as well for obvious reasons.

Youko, being a bakeneko, is pretty damn old. Several hundred years old, I'd wager. Not as old as Touhou characters, but up there.

I'd prefer if she didn't recognize Suika.
Koishi is a no for now.
Yukari is a definite No.
Rumia idk about, The way I see it, it's like getting lucky to find her. Same with Suika really.

Reimu's not the type to take peoples words for it. She attacks everyone and anyone, whether they are doing bad things, could be a threat, or are minding their own business.
Basically it can be said that the reason most every character is attacked, is because they were infront of Reimu at the time. See, Tokiko, Miko, Letty, Sanae in Hisoutensoku, Alice in many games, etc.

Quote
Miko: To understand the ten desires of a human is to know them fully.  In the past, the present... And the future...  Next, you say this:
Reimu: Hey, hey, wait a minute! Give me a chance to talk, too! I've come all this way, you know!
Miko: There is no need for that. Because I have already seen through all of your actions. That's right, you will now bare your fangs at me. Without any reason to do so.
Reimu: That's right. Without any reason to do so!
Quote
Reimu: Ah, that's right, this is a youkai temple.
Kyouko: Sure is. It's a temple for youkai that is kind to youkai.
Reimu: Well, then I'll have to exterminate you right away!
Quote
Kogasa: You finally came! There's this girl I've never seen before keeping watch back there. But no matter how much I shoot her, I always lose by time out... So could do something about her? Please!
Reimu: A youkai requesting a youkai extermination... Fine, then. I'll beat you all at once.

As you can see...
There's no reasoning with Reimu. And once she's set her sights on someone, there's no escape.

And Reim doesn't give 'stern talking tos'. That's Shikieiki's job.

Quote
Youko met Senri's father while she was at Kourindou
This was before Senri was born still?
As was meeting Reimu and Yukari?
Title: Re: On The Boundary ~ Legend of Illusionary Paradise [Discussion Thread]
Post by: trancehime on December 18, 2011, 02:58:45 AM
Everything was before Senri was born.

And then I guess that means Reimu still wants to kick Youko's ass. Doesn't matter because where Reimu probably could kick her ass Youko is too crafty to allow that to happen. Ever.

See Yukari.

The only ones that have avoided ass-kickings to my knowledge are Akyuu, Rinnosuke, Toyohime, and obviously Renko and Maribel.

There is only ONE person who Reimu, nor anyone else, has ever once against. And there's no way in fucking hell Youko is allowed to be that strong.

it's called running the fuck away, not beating reimu

and her craftiness is probably a notch below yukari but that's still ridiculous

if you're gonna be obnoxious about this i have the rest of my xmas break, no offense

Oho? An edit just before i respond.
What do you mean the rest of xmas break? I've got a whole 2weeks plus of break too.

Okay. I'll say this. None shall escape.
So I'll let you have your way for now

As for the NPOCs that I've got ready. There is one in particular, who at the use of her full power, is ridiculously strong.
But to balance that, she never uses her full power.
Like Yuyuko. If she were to use her ability freely, she could just kill everyone who gets in her way. But she never uses her ability so...
Oh, if players want to meet her they can though. Dorakyura has a slightly better chance at meeting her than everyone else. For everyone else, you must risk your life to do so.

Edit:
Anyways, I hope you do understand.

And because Sonae dislikes double posting it's up to me to create a gap here I will also go ahead and ask her next question for her, which would be directed at Trance:

About how powerful would you say Youko is? Sonae seems to be worried about her being "Undefeatable" since she can evidently avoid Reimu.

Also, something from myself, Raise of hands: would anyone here be overly bothered by someone double posting because there's something that should be seen?

People waiting on Sonae;
Hanzo, Marou
People waiting on Amra;
Yog, Trance
People waiting on Sour;
Directly: Sonae, Indirectly: Everyone at the center of the village
People being waited on;
Sour, Dorakyura, Orphea

Simply.

Player Interaction occuring between; Hotaru, Tetsumaru, and Senri.
Players Waiting on update; Takuma, Sora, Sanaya, Laresa, Kisei.

So this sorta gives you guys an indication on who you're waiting on...
Player interaction does not require my intervention, so Hotaru, Tetsumaru, and Senri will not be included in the next update.

Btw, Here's (http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p107/Sonae/Sprites/SpritePaletteLargeChoice.png) a little tool I made for color choosing for sprites. Every single color used in the sprites I have access to is on there.
Not all the Clothing and Extra slots need to be filled.
Also know that the list of color sets goes downwards.
Here give me a minute and I'll make an example.

Post by: Marokuu on December 18, 2011, 10:13:03 PM
All right, I'm tired but here's the lowdown for you newbies. Player interaction is when, as you might have guessed, the players interact with each others instead of the environment.

This means that the players mixed into said interaction are the ones that respond to it, not the GM.

Say for example Crow's character had attempted to grab my character's weapon. Then I would, instead of waiting for a response from Sonae about Keine, have written my own post where my character would probably whirl around and grab the sneaky bugger by the throat*, or not depending on how he roleplayed it.

So yeah, you should start talking to each other, probably starting with that boost Yog was offering. (I apologize for being horrible with names, I'll learn them soon enough.)

*This example is slightly exaggerated to get the point across, Sanaya does not respond with hostility to everything and everyone.

Post by: Sonae on December 18, 2011, 11:20:35 PM
Yeah player interaction posts are typically quite short. Looking through EoG, My posts get really short during interactions, then the second I go off on my own It gets long again.

Here's a exert from the early days of EoG

Quote
The silence persisted until there was a knock on the door. A voice soon followed, asking for permission to enter the room. Ranna got up from her chair and opened the door. It was Rhiseza.
Ranna bowed slightly and motioned for the girl to come in. Mokou looked towards the girl, hiding the pain from her eyes.
Quote
Rhiseza nodded and stepped inside. "I'm... Sorry about earlier. I shouldn't have acted like that in front of you. And..." She turned to Mokou. "I'm sorry I wasn't here earlier. I'm trying to work as fast as I can."
Without another word she knelt down next to Mokou and looked to see what all she could do. She didn't have anything to dull the pain...
"... If... If one did, hypothetically, have magic without knowledge of them... Is there a way to know for certain?"
She bit her lip nervously and waited for an answer. From either of them, really.
Quote
Mokou was first to speak. "Try using it. That's the best way ta find out" She said with a strange gesture of her hand.
Ranna gazed at Rhiseza. She isn't even one bit surprised that a while ago Mokou's stomach had a huge hole in it...It's kind of surprising that she can still even talk. I guess that's kind of normal for here though, isn't it?
Quote
"Well, I'll... Try, then."
She reached out and place her hands on Mokou's arm, and focused like she did with the marble.
If I do have this... Please work...
Quote
"Ey ey, yer aiming fer the wrong place there. The pain's in my stomach" Mokou said just as the girl started to concentrate.
Ranna let out a sigh mixed with slight laughter. She looked out the doorway to see Nanaya was up and moving around. The slight smile that slipped across her face vanished. She watched as Nanaya walks past, not noticing Ranna's gaze, with Newan in tow, Aesera following behind them. Ranna strains her neck to watch them go down the hall and into Newan's and Nazrin's room. Oh yeah, she's in there with those two because her partner isn't here. Ranna pauses for a second, Now that I think about it, I've never seen her partner around since I joined the group...I wonder what kind of person her partner is... She wonders as she turns her gaze back to Mokou, who seems to have a lot more energy than someone who just had their stomach ripped open should have. Ranna turns her eyes back to the hall. Her eyes sharpening for a moment.
That girl definitely has some explaining to do...
Quote
"Eehh..." Mokou mouthed in slight protest but then quieted to let Rhiseza focus.
Ranna watched intently from where she stood leaning against the door frame. She wanted to see the extent of Rhiseza power for herself, so she'd know their limit in battle.
After a few minutes there was a slight glow which grew brighter with each passing second. Ranna closed one eye and titled her head away slightly. Within another moment, the light vanished entirely.
Mokou gave a dull expression in response, blinking a few times. Then she closed her eyes and scratched her head, tilting it to the side slightly.
"So? How do you feel now?" Ranna asked somewhat plainly.
Mokou gave a puzzled expression. Then quickly leapt to her feeting, giving the other two a shock. Mokou looked as if she was thinking deeply. After a second of thought, Mokou shoved her hands in her pockets and strolled out of the room. The two girls watched her, speechless, as she effortlessly strolled out of the room. Ranna's faced held a strangely unsastified expression.
"...I guess it worked..." Ranna said. She shook her head. I should follow after her so she doesn't collapse or something... She thought as she dashed after Mokou.
She finally found her at the front of the shrine, standing between the shrine and it's gate, staring out over Gensokyo.
"Hah...hah...ah!...There you are. Are you sure you can be up  so soon" Ranna said, trying to catch her breath. She looked up at the sky. Huh...It looks to be getting later...i wonder what time it is... She decided to ask Mokou. "...Uh Moko- Wait where are you going!" She said, noticing Mokou had begun to walk away towards the shrine's stairs.
Mokou turned and shot her a grin. "Ya see these?" She said pointing down to her tattered clothes.
Ranna nodded, not quite understanding what Mokou had meant.
Mokou's grin widened. "I'm gonna get a new pair" Mokou said.
Ranna looked at her puzzled. "A new pair..."
Without responding Mokou turned and headed for the stairs.
"Hey! Wa-!" Ranna shouted after her but it was too late.
As Mokou reached the first step, a sudden burst of flames enveloped her. Ranna fell back in sheer shock. Her eyes wide as they could go. She gasped for air as the Fire sucked up the oxygen in the area. Mokou, flames shooting out of her back, launched herself into the air. As she did so a strong gust of wind over took the area. Ranna closed her eyes, putting her hand up to shield her from the flames that she surely thought were about to whip against her skin, giving her severe burns.
She kept her eyes close, her body shaking in fear. ...wait...what happened....why haven't I been burnt yet.? She wondered, slowly opening her eyes which swirled green and purple as she hesitantly opened them, returning to their default positions in her eyes when she had them open enough. She peeked through the gaps in between her fingers.
Nothing.
She opened her eyes fully and lowered her hand.
The flames were gone, completely, without a trace. As if they were just a figment of Ranna's own imagination. She gazed forward blinking every now and again, trying to figure out what had happened. She was speechless.
Aftter a few moments, she realized Mokou was gone. She looked around trying to find her. No sign of her.
"...Mokou...?" She said aimlessly. Then something caught her eye.
Something flying through the sky, it was already far enough away to not be recognizable. The thought passed through her mind but she quickly expelled it.
"There's no way....right...?" She said, barely able to believe what had happened in just a split second before her eyes. She sat there on the ground, still trying to figure out what had just transpired.

Interaction between myself and Orphea in EoG, and when I head off on my own.

Hm. Also a general rule is that the more people one controls, the more content they usually have in their posts.
I'm still on the fence about allowing partners or not.
Oh also know that if partners will be allowed, you wont get to pick whoever you want. You'd be getting the touhou that could most likely be your ally.
For Example, when Sora gets to SDM, My posts will include interactions between Sora and Remi/Patchy/Meiling.
As for possible partners...

Sora - Remi
Sanaya - Mokou?
Senri - Youko or (Eventually) Byakuren
Yumiko - Patchouli

As for the rest, idk since I haven't thought about it.
Though in certain battles you WILL have control of more than one character.
I might allow party joining, like a character tags along with someone and the player they are with gains temporary control of the character.
But idk yet. If i did allow this I would prefer if portrayals are consistant.

What do the players think?

Oh I advise if i do say Yes to partners, that you try not to go with your identical touhou twin. It ends badly.

Anyways. I've created a new file for the bestiary, so I'll be needing Youko, Koryu, Aika, etc.

Hanzo, I suggest you use my sprite color chooser for Takuma.
And any others should use it if they want sprites. It gives you a chance to see how colors work together as well.

Anyways, Youko and Aika need their fields filled out.

Name :
Age :
Gender : Female
Species :
Ability :
Occupation :
Appearance :
Personality :
Backstory :
Location : Human Village
Other :

For certain fields, such as Age for Youko, you can put unknown or a general estimate.

GYMO, if it's not too much trouble, I would appreciate if you could fill out the two sprite templates for shape and color.

Hanzo, I need you to redo it. I can't salvage the colors from it.

Edit;
Okay Amra, hit me upside the head, I can't find the first sprite template for you.
Also I noticed in the hair you have a lighter shade after a dark, may I ask why is that?

Black is not to be used in sprite, it is only for the border of the sprite.
Also I'll need a light light shade for the highlights in the hair

Oho? Aren't I supposed to be the one doing the gradients?
If all else fails, go with Lyirca/Reimu color and Request a re-edit of the colors.

Hanzo I see you also used the black. I should have put BORDER, DON:T TOUCH on it.
Black hair would be the color Star/Nue/Kaguya/Tewi/Sanaya has.

Oh btw Hanzo, did you want his hair tied back?

Laresa sprite template:

Hair Style: She just keeps it straight. Color-wise, it's similar to Patchouli's.
Hair Length: Long
Eye style: Normal
Arm Style: Short-sleeve style
Leg Style: 3
Clothing: She dresses fairly basically. Her job involves combat, so she prefers outfits that are easy to move around in.

Post by: trancehime on December 19, 2011, 03:01:13 PM
Name: Yamagishi Youko (山岸陽子)
Age: Estimated to be several hundred years old, around 200~300
Gender: Female
Species: Senri
Ability: The power to manipulate the muscle system. What this basically means is Youko has control over a person or creature's muscles, or non-vitals. She has no power over someone's, say, respiratory or digestory tract, but she can make someone have muscle cramp up with very little issue. She can also make someone's heart stop beating for a few seconds with ease or for one or two minutes by expending a lot of energy, because the heart is also technically considered a muscle.
Occupation: She doesn't work. Haw haw.
Appearance:
(http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p107/Sonae/Sprites/YamagishiFamily.png)
Youko is the one in red, on the left. (For the record, Senri is the one in the middle [that is a guy yes] and Aika is the one to the right)
Personality: Youko is pretty laidback if people could describe her in one word - she doesn't give a poo poo about tact and all that stuff; she will be very blunt if she has to... This can annoy most people at once, and it's usually those who she's close to who have to deal with the fallout. Youko is not beyond utilizing her sorcery to prevent fights from breaking out. Since she's not a fighter at heart, she relies on using trickery and her razor-sharp wit to get her out of situations which are incredibly unfavorable for her. However, at heart, she has always tried to see to it that her children (Senri and Aika) were raised well, and despite her brusque demeanor, she does still have a heart in that corporeal existence of her's. As she's a spirit in actuality, her values are... kind of skewed, as she tends not to think of things in the perspective of those who are mortal. You might even go as far to say that Youko is amoral, but she will simply make the defense that "she lives life how she wants to live it."

Backstory (hope this answers it, Marokuu / Sonae): It is an enigma to most people how Youko came to properly exist, since people either believe that senri are an aspect of the fox, or rather a transformation of an incredibly old mountain cat. Youko has stated at once that she takes aspects of both, but she disagrees with the label that she should be "virtuous," (since the senri is a fox element that is considered as 'virtuous' as opposed to 'wild,' and Youko is more 'wild,' even her name alludes to this) and instead places her origins as a human who was hexed to become a mountain cat, and through sheer meditation and willpower to become human again, she underwent a transformation to become senri. Through her meditation and following vague Taoist and Buddhist practices, she was able to attain distinct supernatural powers - she discovered that she could control the muscle system of other living beings. In fact, her aspect as a fox element is exactly why she can be somewhat compared to Ran Yakumo in terms of spiritual prowess.

Youko lived her life preying on the spirits of men, using her stunning looks as a human to absorb their life force, and soon this extended to fellow women and lesser youkai, as well, due to her ability to control muscles, she could indefinitely paralyze somebody enough to drain their life force - it was in the nature of the senri to do so. This rowdy behavior roused Reimu Hakurei, who sought it fit to exterminate Youko. And she got really drat close to it too - Reimu was incredibly powerful, and was able to stave off Youko's attempts to defend herself. However, Youko, in her wounded and desperate state from having a shitton of youkai buster needles injected into her, used her remaining energy to literally make Reimu stop breathing for approximately 10 seconds, which was enough for the senri to slink away and escape since she had evaporated into her spiritual form.

Youko, in her wounded state, disguised herself once more and sought refuge in a shop in the Forest of Magic... This was Kourindou, and was disguised as an exhausted woman looking for a cup of tea. It was here that Youko met her husband-to-be, a kindly blacksmith who also happened to stop by hearing rumors that Rinnosuke was selling a "very advanced hammer which would help him perform better." The blacksmith could sense that Youko was not as she seemed, and pressed the senri for information; he learned of her plight, and told her that he would shelter her and try to make sure Reimu and similar figures wouldn't exterminate her. But they didn't know that Yukari Yakumo had placed a gap nearby to eavesdrop on them. It seemed that thanks to Yukari's efforts, Reimu had stopped hounding Youko for her misdeeds. The blacksmith said she was free to use him as life force, but Youko thanked him for saving her life, and said she would settle down instead. Live a new life.

When Youko and the blacksmith were out hunting, they discovered an abandoned child in the Bamboo Forest. They took the child in and she grew to be Aika. Youko decided she wanted a son too, and through ~*~sorcery~*~, had a friend of the blacksmith give birth to Senri. It was through sorcery that Senri looks that girly.

Note: I wouldn't say Youko is undefeatable, not in the slightest. She's very physically weak, and stronger youkai can easily crush her - they just have to survive the fact she can basically cripple their muscles and stop them from breathing temporarily. In a one on one fight, she cannot really lose that easily, but if she has more than one person trying to defeat her, it's very likely that Youko will lose. She's crafty, but she can't account for a flash mob trying to snatch her head, since she doesn't have the mobility that, say, Aya or Yukari do.



Name: Yamagishi Aika (山岸愛香)
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Ability: N/A
Occupation: Hunter
Appearance:
(http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p107/Sonae/Sprites/YamagishiFamily.png)
Aika is the girl to the right.
Personality: Aika is incredibly bland, incredibly boring, incredibly one-track mind. Youko often chastises her for being so dull and boring. But that's the way she is, she was neglected as a child after all. But aside from that, she is quite the caring family member, and always has the best interests of everyone in mind. She is very grateful towards her parents for taking her in, and repays that by hunting food for not only her and her family, but for the rest of the village.

Backstory: Aika was born to a clan of warriors and warrior-princesses, but she has no idea of her true lineage, since they were all killed. Aika was orphaned as such, and she was found crying in the Bamboo Forest by Youko and the blacksmith husband. The blacksmith could not bear to see a child like that, so he took her in. Youko and her raised her frugally, though at some point Youko decided that she should be taught how to defend herself. The blacksmith taught Aika all he knew about the naginata, and eventually Aika learned to improvise and became incredibly proficient with the naginata. She had studied under Keine for basic education, but she proclaimed herself to be a warrior at heart. She said that she claimed to have the battle lust inside her. Youko didn't take it seriously, but when Senri was born, he could sense it in her... That desire for the hunt.

Aika then used this desire of her's to good use as she worked as a hunter. Actually, there weren't many animals to hunt in Gensokyo. Not at all. But of what little there was, she would take it. And furthermore, she could discern healthy mushrooms for consumption in the Forest of Magic. That was her role, much like Senri's role was to work at the Teahouse.

Youko can't kill with her abilities, but yes. Youko would have to outrun Mokou, which I don't see happening unless she repeatedly has Mokou legcramping. :V

In fact, Youko can't really "defeat" anyone per se, just make people get muscle cramps for a while. :V

Post by: Sonae on December 20, 2011, 03:56:10 AM
Okay. That works just fine.

Oh btw. There is now officially a dojo in the Human village(in the rp). All with weapons they wish to hone their skills with are welcome. Try to beat the owner if your can!

Btw Aika has no ability?

Anyways, post is in progress. Here's the marching orders!

Sora - No specific orders for now self.
Sanaya - Say hi o/
Takuma - Keep heading for the village. You need food after all!
Tetsumaru - W/e you wish to do
Kisei - Don't approach Sanaya. The girl who came up to her is sharp as can be. There's no way Kisei can go undetected.
Laresa - Oppurtunity  for a special meeting is OPEN, but only for a short time. Go for it or not? I'm sure if Laresa is a smart and cunning as Aesera, then this should be no problem at all for her to figure out.
Kohaku - Chase that thief down!
Senri - Whatever you please.
Nanaya - Watch where you walk.
Hotaru - Whatever ya want.
Amaya - Follow Suwako!
Yumiko - Sleeping.

Laresa's special Encounter will be UNLOCKED after I post this next update. But there's only a short window of oppurtunity to get it. Aka, if you don't do what needs to be done to meet her in your next post, the chance for encounter will be gone.

- the npoc is the sword
- npoc lost it while drunk
- one of the characters has the sword in them
- its in rinnosuke s shop
- it s in a shrine
- uses it to intimidate while completely hiding the fact that they dont have a sword or even if they did they dont know how to use it

Post by: Hanzo K. on December 20, 2011, 06:11:17 AM
Here's my guess.
It's a simple, yet clever one I think.
She simply doesn't need the sword.
Failing that, she just uses the sheath as a medium to create one to use.

I did say that She was going to intervene after all. Plus Crow knew that he'd piss me off with his post.

Anyways here's sneak peaks for everyone

Sora - Time to continue on to SDM!
Sanaya - Idk. Whatever you want to do next.
Takuma - Uh. No idea. You've arrived in the center of the village by now. Just after the Ruckus ended.
Tetsumaru - w/e you wish
Kisei - bad girl! I'd suggest giving up for today.
Laresa - You're lucky I changed my mind to give you another chance. This is your LAST CHANCE to meet Suika. If you fail this time, She'll escape.
Kohaku - Just scare away that bird and get your ocarina. Don't leave the shrine yet. This one will be short, sorry.
Senri - w/e you wish.
Nanaya - Uh...I haven't gotten that far yet.
Hotaru - Take back what is rightfully yours!
Amaya - Still working on your section.
Yumiko - Still Sleeping.

Post is in progress. Marou's and GYMO's sections are completed. Crow, Trance, Amra, and Yog, your update is in Marou's section. Got like 3 more scenes to write.

Edit;;
Update's up!

Oh and Sour. For the next post, you have control of the crow. Just have it drop the ocarina into the box as Kohaku spots it again. Then you can scare it away or w/e

She would've made sure to find out what was going on when Suika did the whole Immaterial and Missing Power thing, and I figured Reimu would be willing to share the basics, especially if Laresa tossed a few coins into her donation box. Let me know if I need to change anything.

No, It's not okay. Laresa wasn't even born when the IaMP Incident Occured. That was decades before her time.

How long has Reimu been missing? For those of us that have characters that are friendly with youkai, we may have heard of Reimu, or Marisa, at least in passing from the youkai we've associated with, as those two had to be pretty infamous among youkai. What with the random beatings (and the saving the world, or course) all across gensokyo, and all.

I did ask. I PMed you about it, and I didn't get a response, so I went ahead with the post, thinking that if it wasn't okay, I could edit or remove it. But yeah, understood. Of course, now I'm at a total blank as to what Laresa's supposed to do in order to meet Suika.

Also, I hate the fact that MotK doesn't notify you if a post has been deleted. I always think I just forgot to hit 'post' (which I have done quite a few times in the past).

What with the random beatings (and the saving the world, or course) all across gensokyo, and all.

Short and simple.

No one has heard of Reimu or Marisa.
No one has heard of or been to the Hakurei Shrine.
No one has mentioned the names Reimu or Marisa.
The last time Marisa was seen by a human was when she saved Takuma about ten years ago.

So consider Reimu to have fallen off the radar.

Note; Nanaya doesn't know of the shrine. When she passed by it she just thought it was an abandonned, rat and insect infested dump that could collapse at any moment. Also according to her profile her home is on the mountains behind Hakurei shrine. Idk about everyone else, but in my mind, I see The mountains containing the entrance to Makai as being behind the Shrine.
So therefore, I'm designating that mountain, or atleast a mountain next to it as where Nanaya's cave is. So Nanaya Does NOT live on Youkai Mountain. She cannot see the shrine from her cave either. Nor does she or Kasen visit the shrine. Kasen has not told her anything about the shrine or Reimu, and Nanaya has not approached the shrine at all. She has passed by it once while traveling through the forest. She was not close enough to see much of any details. All she saw was an abandonned and overgrown building that was being returned to nature.

Since I think I've made my points quite clear, That is all for now.

Oh, also, nagging me will not give you more detailed answers. It'll just piss me off.

Okay! I'm being impatient lately. So if Hanzo and Trance don't post soon, I'll just go ahead and update.

Also a note to everyone
There will be an upcoming time skip. I have yet to decide till when, but it'll likely be past noon. This time skip will be occuring likely after stuff in town dies down and will also depend on what Sour will do after the next update.
Players can stop involvement at the current time in the rp whenever it is appropriate for it. Aka their actions become too boring to write about.

Players Ready for time skip;;
Sora

During this time you wont need to post until the time skip occurs.

This'll basically be like when everyone goes to sleep.

Oh also. Sometimes there just might be a special little elsewheres scene~
Look forward to these~

Question: would Laresa have access to the works of the Child of Miare? Not in the sense of obtaining a copy (although if that's possible, she most certainly would have done so), but in the sense of just looking through them. Because that's the sort of thing she'd find extremely useful, so if it's at all possible for her to see them in any way, she'd do so frequently, look there first whenever she needed information. And if Suika gets away, Laresa's going to attempt to identify her, and the Gensokyo Chronicles would be the first place she'd go to do that.

Currently, no, she has not.

Though you'd have to Go through Keine first

And if you're going to ask if she's heard of it, no she hasn't.

Okay. Now that I've actually thought about things, I realized there's a few characters I have no idea what to do with. Tetsumaru is the only confirmed one I have no idea wth to do with, but there might be others. These character's are prolly the ones that slip my mind regularly.

Anyways it doesn't matter if you slip my mind or not, Now is the time to speak if you want your character to meet someone, battle with someone, rob their house, w/e. Now's the time to say!

I've got Laresa covered. After losing Suika, she's going to attempt to determine Suika's identity. Since all she has to go on is Suika's ability, she won't have much luck with her regular methods, so she'll go straight to Keine for access to the Chronicles. Is it okay for her to know that Keine has such records, even if she doesn't actually know the nature of those records? If not, she'd go to Keine to ask if such unusual gatherings had happened in the past, figuring that if anyone would know that, it would be the village teacher. From there, the conversation would progress to Keine giving Laresa access to the Chronicles.

She wouldn't know where to go, nor what she was looking for. She also would not be allowed to start her search until the next day. Due to certain 'events'
Also Keine is teaching atm.
And she may be a bit hesitant.

You could have Kisei's little scuffle escalate into a real fight. That's my only idea, besides going to sleep. Other than that, I'll go with anything.

Well by plans I mean things that'll happen later on. But before timeskip? Yeah I imagine Kisei will go to sleep.

Post by: GuyYouMetOnline on December 27, 2011, 07:12:40 AM
Laresa wouldn't know about the records, but she would know that Keine's a teacher, and so when she decides to look into whether unusual gatherings such as this have occurred in the past, she'd go to Keine. From there,having Keine think of the chronicles would be easy.

Of course, if 'certain events' are going to be happening, then Laresa may very well find herself otherwise occupied.

I just accidentially posted my RP post here. It should now be in its proper place.

Anyways, sonae, how long from now would the next break at school be? Because Laresa would indeed have that information just in case she needed to talk to Keine on short notice, like she does now (hell, she'd have the entire schedule just in case she needed that information for whatever reason). Also, I'm assuming that the Gensokyo Chronicles aren't some big secret; Laresa simply doesn't know about them, right? So Keine wouldn't be hesitant to bring them up, right?

Also, would Keine have any knowledge of Suika's involvment in the unusual feasting from the plot of IaMP, and if so, what would she know? Because if Keine can identify Suika, Laresa wouldn't even need the Chronicles. Although she'd still be very interested in such a thing.

Also not too sure of this, but people will likely need to part ways before time skip.
If Hotaru sets off she can enter the list above.

Also Trance, if it's not too much of a problem, I'm going to make the Teahouse on the same street as the School house, so that Laresa can stay there and wait for Keine

My character, Takuma, does shit for the lulz. Here's a list of tropes that describes him.
(I cannot be held responsible for any impending Wiki Walks you might fall into by following any of these links.)

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BloodKnight
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BoisterousBruiser
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpiritedCompetitor (He loves a good fight, what can I say?)
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LargeHam (He hasn't been nearly as hammy as he can be.)
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HotBlooded (Same as below.)
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ChaoticNeutral (What can I say? It's a constant of characters I play.)
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LoveableRogue (He'll pick fights, but still have some measure of sensibility.)(Shades of Jerk With A Heart of Gold)
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InstantRunes (When he uses the bigger stuff later on.)
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HermeticMagic (Of the rune-using variety.)
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RedOniBlueOni (Decidedly Red.)


This is just the abridged version.
Hell, he's pretty much the norm for Gensokyo as far as things go. (Well, the norm for Youkai that is.)

Would like to see One more post from MArou and GYMO
Orphea, if she's even ever going to play, will be starting after timeskip.
I'll need Dorakyura to post before i have an idea of what to do with those two.
As for Sour. There will be at minimum 2 more updates for him.
Also don't expect the timeskip update to be finished fast, It'll be quite long since almost everyone will have an update.

No update for Dorakyura this time, nothing for me to reply with.

Sour is just about the last one that still has stuff to do. There's still 2 updates left for him. I also want The players at the Moriya Shrine to resolve their scene so we wont have to wait on them.
It's bad enough I've got to make everyone wait on Sour x.x

Okay so Sour. Your marching orders are as follows.
Kohaku - READ DEM PAPERS

You'll get the words they contain in the next update after this one.

EDIT;;

WOOPS Forgot about this.

Since, duh, time passes when we time skip, characters wont always be in the same place as they were before. So you're gonna need to start somewhere!
Also feel free to tell us what happened to your character in a few words. We timeskip this stuff for a reason afterall.

Players Will Resume;;
Sora - Outside of SDM
Sanaya - Leaving the Dojo
Takuma - Arriving Home after a long and tiresome shopping trip.
Tetsumaru - ???
Laresa - Sitting in the Tea house, waiting for Keine
Kisei - Waking up*
Kohaku - Cleaning up at the Shrine
Senri - ???
Nanaya - ???
Hotaru - Arriving at a river close to the foot of the mountain
Amaya - Preparing dinner
Yumiko - Yet to enter

??? = Need ideas

Well, like the marching orders states, Takuma's getting supplies at the market. Plain and simple.
Rice, meat, potatoes, bread, candies(he's got a sweet tooth.). The usual.

Post by: Sonae on January 06, 2012, 01:33:02 PM
YAY I REMEMBERED WHAT I WANTED TO ASK YOU GUYS! \o/

Okay so. Everyone knows Keine is the history teacher of the human village. But how much exactly do you think she teaches ABOUT Gensokyo? In particular, about the Hakurei Boundary.
Keine has been shown to know things that many humans don't. Like, for example, she knew that Youkai Mountain was the original form of Mount Yatsugatake, and that the smoke coming from the mountain, which everyone else, even most youkai, thought to be from the Kappa's factories on the mountain, she knew that it wasn't that, but eternal volcano smoke.

So from that, I bet Keine knows more about Gensokyo than most. But how much do you think she'd teach to the students?

Title: Re: On The Boundary ~ Legend of Illusionary Paradise [Discussion Thread]
Post by: CrowCakes on January 06, 2012, 01:47:47 PM
I guess she would simplify things to the point of leaving out underlying information, thus making everything look innocent. In the case of the Great Hakurei Border, she might teach about why, when, and who created it, but going by what I said, she would leave out post-establishment, the fine details of the events leading up to the creation of the Border, and the identities of the creators. Then there's the fact that youkai can travel through the Border, which can be simplified as "people can travel through the Border."
Title: Re: On The Boundary ~ Legend of Illusionary Paradise [Discussion Thread]
Post by: Oldmansour on January 06, 2012, 07:08:21 PM
Well, there'd be at least some basic geography involved, obviously. And at least a brief overview of the major youkai races, that being the Kappa and Tengu. Not sure about the oni in that regard, as I think the only one that's been seen on the surface world for centuries was Suika, and even her, not by the general public, to the best of my recollection.

Though that does make me wonder how much she'd teach kids about the incidents of the games. It hasn't been that long; people would remember the scarlet mist, at least.

40 years is a long time for Humans.

Also no there wouldn't be anything about Oni. Since theres not books on them or anything.

hm. I don't think she'd mention that people can go through the Barrier. That'd  make stupid kids curious.
Title: Re: On The Boundary ~ Legend of Illusionary Paradise [Discussion Thread]
Post by: CrowCakes on January 07, 2012, 12:37:07 AM
If she'd teach about the Incidents, she'd probably teach TH 6, 7, 7.5, 8, 10, 10.5 (to an extent- no Tenshi included), and 13. 11 was made of two parts, but the first can be ignored so that the topic is skipped entirely. 12 is just a ship appearing in the sky. I don't think that would be worth mentioning except for explaining the origins of the Myouren Temple.

Post by: Hanzo K. on January 07, 2012, 01:23:57 AM
Well, I always saw her as a general teacher, so maybe teaching the basics of everything? (Think the reader's digest version of the Incidents)
So that way if there are people who do want to know more about things later on, they can either ask after school, or go to Akyu if they know of the Records.

Congratz to Marou for conquering his greatest enemy.

Anyways!
Okay! We need to decide where everyone will be after the time skip so I can start writing.

Locations;;
Sora - At the SDM's Gate. Is with Meiling
Sanaya - Just leaving the Human village Dojo. Is with Tsukasa
Takuma - On his way home. Is alone.
Tetsumaru - Unknown.
Laresa - Is sitting in the teahouse alone, waiting for Keine.
Kisei - Is about to be rudely awakened by her parents.
Kohaku - Is finishing cleaning up at the shrine. Is with her trusty mutt
Senri - Is working at the tea house.
Nanaya - By this point has left the Moriya Shrine. Location currently unknown.
Hotaru - Will be taking a break near a stream at the foot of the mountain.
Amaya - Will be at the Moriya Shrine with Suwako and Kanako
Yumiko - Entrance pending.

Also by that point, Aya's newspaper article will have been fully distributed, so if you want your character to read it, you have to find one~
Though in the case of Amaya, Sanae will be bringing one home.
Senri and Laresa, there will be some in the teahouse, prolly being read by some random person.
Takuma will have one in his house.
Kohaku will be seeing it early but wont get the chance to object to it's contents.
Yumiko will be getting one later.
Hotaru will get a delivery.
As for the rest, mainly Sanaya, Tetsumaru, Kisei, and Nanaya. Read the first line.
Laresa could also be included in this group. As could Senri. But they can find it in the teahouse

Post by: CrowCakes on January 09, 2012, 11:19:50 AM
This was long overdue. Just a copy-paste from an earlier post, but the name was changed due to obvious reasons.

Name: Shinsui Kyoki (狂気 浸水)
Appearance: She wears a white kimono that has a gray cloud motif at the hem of the dress and the sleeves. Her hair is also black, tied in a ponytail, reaching her back. Her eyes are also brown, but darker than Tsutomu?s.
Other: Kisei?s mother.  She helps Tsutomu run the shop but can never get used to the regular appearances of youkai at night in the Village. She spends more time with Kisei than Tsutomu does, but Kisei sees them all the time. While she exerts manual labor in the shop, she doesn?t like a single bit of Kisei?s violence. She goes out less often than her husband, but only because he has the easier time sourcing products for their shop.

Trance, is the name right?

No She shall not ^^

Seeing as Laresa will be leaving the teahouse almost immediately after we resume, I want EVERYONE to be seperated.

Plus it's not like anything would happen if she met Kanako or not.

Hell I might change my mind and have Laresa leaving the tea house around then.

Anyways. Time Skip post will take forever a while to write. Don't expect it any time too soon. I'd say, maybe Wensday my time at the earliest.

Since two people are taking their good ol' time with posting. I am going to close off the possibility and start writing a section soon.

Resuming Positions:
Sora - Sitting outside the SDM Gate with Meiling
Sanaya - Leaving the Dojo. *

Laresa - Sitting in the Tea House waiting to spot Keine
Kisei - About to be rudely awakened by her parents
Kohaku - Finishing cleaning up. You can go sit on the veranda and drink tea and take a break.
Senri - Serving Tea at the Tea House. Closing time will be soon.
Nanaya - Wandering around the village for no apparent reason
Hotaru - Walking down a forested trail. Will stop at a small stream for a break.
Amaya - Sitting around watching tv with Suwako and Kanako
WhatsherfaceYumiko - Yet to Enter

FakeEdit:
DAMN IT NOW I GOT THE TEA HOUSE OWNER IN MY HEAD AS A BUSTY TSUNDERE.

*Marou gets a section in the time skip post.

Also. As of my next player post, I will be controlling NPCs so I don't have ridiculously stupid back and forth conversations with myself I have enough of those in real life I don't need more here

Ohshit. Since Marou is the only one getting a section, I should be done the update within the next hour hopefully.

Only I am allowed to control NPCs. They are Non-Player Characters for a reason.

By doing this you've broken one of the fundamental rules of my Gensokyo here.

Quote
---RULES---

1.   I control the world, you control your character.

Broke Rule number one... ^^'
What should your punishment be~ ^^

Remember That while I AM a player, I amd ALSO the GM.

For the meantime until I consult my advisor, I request the removal of suggestive text. Such as any lines that state Keine has tooken any action what so ever.

I will say, though, that saying we absolutely cannot include actions for anyone other than our own characters is very constraining, and will probably not work out well. I've seen that tried before, and the results weren't good (the thing came to a screeching halt any time there was a conversation).

Post by: Sonae on January 13, 2012, 02:07:43 AM
Well Control the World can also be said as what effects it on a large scale, or no scale at all. In which, the control of nameless human NPCs will not affect the plot unless one were to be stupid and make them say things that they would never know.
Also for Senri, and Senri Alone, he is allowed to control his Youkai Mother. All Players, with the exception of Amaya, can control their family.

So the best way to put it is as such.
1. I control the World you control your character.
   - I control and decide events that occur. Exception: Players may suggest events.
   - I control ALL Touhous. No Exceptions.
   - I Control ALL NPOCs. Exception: Player made immediate family.
   - I will ultimately decide the outcomes of ALL GM instigated occurances. No Exceptions.

As for other rules in depth. LAter...~
Also. That rule was first because that was an issue in one roleplay that failed I made. Though they also crossed and raped the rule about overpowered players.
And no these rules aren't stolen from that rp. There;'s no documentation of any of the past RPs I've been in sadly.

Sounds like that was just a bad group of participants. But whatever. Your decision. I just don't think it'll work. Although if you do decide to allow partners, that might work better, since we'd have two people to write, and could at least have them exchange dialog and simply end the post when we want someone else to jump in (kind of like what's been happening in EoG, where it seems to be working just fine).

Well I am not going for that. EoG's allowance of bunnying pretty much dumped all the responsibility on the player. I'll be allowing lots of freedom. It's just the players will have to actually think and make decisions on their own.
Here's A list of currently accessible locations. Aka You can go here.
Hm. Since at the moment, things are going slightly more linear, I'll make this list starting from the next day in the rp.

Human Village (duh)
Hakurei Shrine
Misty Lake
Scarlet Devil Mansion
Myouren Temple
Kourindou
Forest of Magic
Garden of the Sun
Nameless Hill
Bamboo Forest of  the Lost
Road of Liminality
Road of Reconsideration
Youkai Mountain

So yeah. We're not really on a straight line atm.
Though remember that I am a story teller. The last RP I ran was years ago. Unfortunately most of them died due to people getting extremely busy.

Okay.

Oh btw. 2 characters will see one of the NPOCs before they are introduced as enemies. I'm not gonna tell you when, where, or who it will be or even which player will see them. It's just gonna be a neat tidbit that'd be good to pick up on. You get to choose what you do with the information. But I'd advise speaking to someone about it. Who knows, maybe speaking to the right person will trigger something~
I'm thinking of maybe having everyone spot one enemy character atm. What do you guys think of that.

Romance is okay for me I suppose. Battles with NPOCs are also fine, and probably needed. To pass the time until the next action, I made a profile for Hotaru's bro, or rather, the first draft.

Name: Ohno Hideaki
Appearance: A contrast from his sister, he has long shoulder-length black hair that while sometimes messy from sleep, is easily straightened. He has a rather gaunt build, and average height. He moves in a subdued manner, and generally doesn't smile. He wears a grey kimono, which is generally under a blanket he usually carries around.
Other: The brother of Hotaru. While Hideaki generally either sleeps at home or just about any private place, he currently runs a food stand. It's mildly successful, to his sister's surprise. Perhaps related to this is his rather odd habit of knowing the names of just about anyone even if they haven't eaten in his shop, and vice versa. His food stand generally changes location by the day, depending on where Hidaki feels like going.


Although he'll miss all the action most likely.

Also don't worry if you get your ass handed to you the first time you fight one of these NPOCS. All but one are youkai, not to mention many of them are very powerful.

Well, I think Laresa knows how to deal with youkai. Not to mention her plan-for-everything approach. I'm not saying she wouldn't necessarily lose, but she'd put up a fight.

Romance? That's a magic word. Can't have a story without a little love. Especially a touhou-themed story.
As for battles, that's jake with me. Might actually be useful for some of us, too, be a way for us to unlock some of our characters hidden powers, or refine the ones we've got.

Ofc They'll put up a fight.
But as I said, some of them are pretty damn powerful.
Also GYMO. You can't be prepared for something you know nothing about.
That's why exterminating oni is not advised at all. Their weaknesses aren't known.
Also. Though there aren't many, a few of the abilities of some will not work in your favor. at all. So even if you mimic them there'll be no point cause the ability will be absolutely useless for you.
Though these 'useless' abilities are few and far apart. Also a few of them will require a certain things to actually be used. Mana resources, magic spells, things like that.

Also, while some of them have overpowered abilities, I've been trying my best to make it so that they won't be able to shamelessly overpower players with a flick of their wrists or something.

Laresa would disagree. She plans for every possibility, so even if she doesn't know about it, she's most likely still ready for it (and, of course, she also has plans for dealing with unknowns). In fact, a fight like that would probably be a good opportunity to demonstrate just how she works.

ANd as I've said before, I'm aware of the limitations of Laresa's ability, and so is she.

Well. There's one fight in particular that NO ONE is allowed to be ready for.
And was she prepared for what occured in her backstory? (this is a yes or no question)

Also, Sour, you might want to have Kohaku decide to announce what she wants to tell everyone at the end of the party. Not the beginning. Srsly ya don't wanna go ahead and ruin everyone's good mood the minute they walk in the door per se.

Oh! If Laresa's prepared for everything then she must have snacks and stuff for the feast right~?

Players;;
Sora - I know what I'm doing.
Sanaya - Continue on.
Takuma - Trolololol
Tetsumaru - Hm it's getting late, you should prolly head back to the forge.
Laresa - Oh look who it is...
Kisei - Your parents are your characters. So I've no need to interfere. Continue on with your next segment.
Kohaku - Your first Guests have arrived~
Senri - Post.
Nanaya - Post
Hotaru - Oh what's this.../reads.
Amaya - Tell me if you don't have time to post. I'll just have Sanae arrive home.
Yumiko - YOU BETTER GET YOUR ASS READY TO PLAY.

Only Me, Hanzo, Sour, and Yog get updates.

Sour:

I've actually toyed with the idea of Gensokyo being another Netherworld, with Reimu and Yukari trading posts as the resident Overlords.
The events involving the Watatsukis was a case of them stealing the title of Overlord, but eventually getting bored of it and heading back to their netherworld(the moon), and putting the title back with the rightful owners.

In the event that one of Kohaku's ex's show up at the shrine, during the party or after, I suppose it would help to have her profile. So, here:

Name: Haine
Age: 117
Gender: Female
Ability: Practicioner of Earth magic. Capable of petrifying a body, or body parts, upon physical contact, but this never lasts for longer than an hour, unless the subject is willing. Objects subjected to Haine's petrification cannot be shattered, and may or may not retain tactile sensation and/or awareness while stoned.
Occupation: Tourist from Makai.

Appearance: Long brown hair, braided. White robe cut off at the knees, with a brown shawl worn over, with a black sash. Wears glasses when reading. Wears bracelets and anklets made of shaped rock, usually granite. Brown eyes.

Personality: Consumate traveler, never stays in one place for more than a few weeks, couple months at most. Always looking for what's on the other side of the next mountain. Boistrous and friendly, loves a good joke and a good drink almost as much as she loves a good flirt. And she very much loves a good flirt. Enjoys music, preferably ballads.

Background: A denizen of Makai, and child of Shinki thereby, she was one of the demons that visited Gensokyo the first time the gates to Makai were open, and was rather quickly, and thoughly, trounced by Reimu, and slunk back to Makai. She liked what she saw of Gensokyo, though, and returned some years ago, rather relieved to not find a belligerant miko ready to pummel again. Has been gadding about gensokyo for some years as she pleases, but found something a little different when she met Kohaku and Koryu Daidouji.
The two of them were cut from a different bolt than anyone the demon had ever met, Koryu so young and full of promise, yet angry, frustrated by what he was and what he wanted to become. Haine would have liked seeing him grow, helping him grow. And Kohaku was... Someone she could have lived with. Forever. But Haine knew that their mother didn't like her. Didn't like youkai in general, and would have reacted even more badly had she found out that Haine was a shade 'worse' than your average youkai. Haine chose not to put the Daidouji heirs though that, and left instead. It was the only time in her life that leaving a place was painful for her, and she's never been able to forget about those two. It's been two years since she left, and she's actually tried not to stray ALL that far from the village, knowing that, as they grew, they'd have better and better odds of leaving the village at times, so she could see them again.

Other: Never wears shoes, prefers the feel of earth under her feet.

Spellcards: TBA

Post by: Oldmansour on January 19, 2012, 10:47:33 PM
I would think that Makai would qualify as the neterworld of Gensokyo. The human village, youkai mountain, all that jazz, that would be the human world equivalent, and Celestia would be... Well, Celestia. Iku would serve as archangel, Shinki would be the Overlord of the netherworld, and Reimu and Marissa would share the duties of DEFENDER OF EARTH.

And having thought about it, not only would that make a good crossover fic, that would actually make a potentially interesting Z-adventure. The only downside would be having to include the cast from Disgaea 1, and Flonne's the only good one out of the lot.

You'd need my permission to proceed with bunnying, you'd be told what to write in cases...
Oh not to mention none of you know which characters know what happened from 127-159 and which don't.
Obviously Cirno doesn't know or give two shits.

I'm not really sure what 'how not' is referring to. My best guess would be the part about not being able to have Keine or whoever say even 'yes' or 'no', and to that, well, you said absolutely no bunnying, which would mean that not even that is allowed. And it also means that I can't do anything with her body language, either.

But how do you know what is and isn't true?
Also while I do mostly obey canon, there will be some things I am going to change.
Not to mention I don't want people assuming things to be right without even giving a thought about it.
And finally, The NPOC cast is relatively large. And only I know how I want them portrayed.
GYMO. This is not a story that you're writing alone. This is a cooperative story which requires both GM and players. I don't want people blazing through the days like it was nothing. That will mess up too many things. Mainly my sense of rp time, the time of the players, and how long people will need to wait for their next posts.

Anyways. I don't know if it's a control issue, short reply issue, or just impatience.If it's the last. You need to understand. I'm at the end of the semester in school. Gr.12, and I need good marks this year. So I have to work my ass off for them.
So please, if everyone could be patient, that would be most helpful.

Okay woah woah wooah.
I want EVERYONE to stop posting for now.
From a slight skim it appears there is player bunnying going on here.
That is DEFINITELY against the rules.
If another one of ANY of you posts, I'll immediately remove it.

For note I don't believe I made a decision on relationships.

Oh btw, sex will get your character killed off. ^^

Backstory things since they will not be read and described in detail are fine. But ingame? You'd be deathflagging yourself.

Also btw, I MUST BE NOTIFIED if permission is given to post for another player.
This isn't a control issue now if players are being bunnied. This is just outright invasion and hijacking. The player is the one that decides things. This is why I was weary and still am of how much I bunny players.

Now I may have misread since I only skimmed, but I've got some free time now. So you better hope you all have been good girls and boys.

EDIT;;

Actually, I didn't know this town existed.

Also one side deciding a battle is shunned.
I'll also shun immediate defeats.
Since that should only occur when ppl need to be taught a lesson by a higher power.

What difference does preference make? You just declared everyone to be celibate.

Just to chime in for I moment I feel that it is up to the player to first react if he/she doesn't like the way something was bunnied. I appreciate that you're so on the ball with these things Sonae but wouldn't it be preferable to leave things up to the players at first, possibly even privately and if there's an unresolvable problem then you step in.

I'm not trying to devalue your work here but it is a game first, where the player's desires should govern events and the players should be the ones to be the first line of conflict resolution.

I think you're approaching this with the wrong attitude, Sonae. I understand the desire to keep things going in the direction you want, but as I found out quickly back when I ran a few RPs, a strict, controlling approach just doesn't work. Limiting the options of players is a major turn-off, and I'll be blunt: if you keep trying to control this RP as completely as you are, it's almnot really all that likely to last very long. The plot's up to you, of course, but let us have more control over how things actually play out (although the no-explicit-sex thing is perfectly fine). I think you'll find that your plans will survive (at most, they may need very minor adjustments, although in my experience, even that's fairly rare. And if someone does do something that just doesn't work at all, well, they can edit it).

Now, I understand what you're saying about us not knowing plot-related things, such as which canon characters would know what, or who would have been able to meet who, but, well, in my case, I've been asking you whenever such a thing comes up. Some people will make assumptions (myself included, sometimes), but if those assumptions are wrong, well, the posts in question can be edited. As for player bunnying, well, leave that up to the players. As Marokuu said, it's only your business if there's an issue that can't be resolved otherwise.

I always thought it came down to the players if they minded minor actions being done for them. I don't see a problem with it, as long as the character is kept consistant. I don't see a problem with letting people control each other if consent is given. I'm not sure why the GM needs to give permission for that.

So like. I wrote that with permission of Trance and even asked him how Senri would react and shit. Also I told him to read it right after I posted and there were no objections. Also I know about the no-sex thing because this is MotK.

You say you shun one-sided battles. But when a girl with little prior experience to swordplay and does not want to fight because of her mind being so chaotic and conflicted, she would most certainly lose a fight.

Also Nanaya had no interaction with the people outside her clan. Didn't I tell you this before on msn at like 2am

Why would you say Nanaya is immortal? Sure she wouldn't die from an arrow to the knee, but inmost cases a sword to the chest would kill her. Nanaya is not a true hermit. Uhh. Duh. The obvious is all over her. Why would she be from the outside. What is this I don't even.

You say outright invasion and hijacking. The only thing I used Senri for was to fight! Draw his blade and retaliate to the girl in front of him. It's natural to every living being. Kill or be killed. Also is backstory shit is like giving players deathflags, why the hell was there a history section in the sign-ups?

I agree with Trance. Tyranny.

If Katelin was rping instead of me she would be raging all over you. :/.

You control the world, you govern it's laws, you rule over with an iron fist. That is to be expected of a GM. But even with an immobile world, there is still freedom of speach. In this case, minor bunnying. Nothing would move without it.

Post by: Sonae on January 21, 2012, 03:12:15 PM
Okay So I'm awake now. I see many had a spazfest at me.

Anyways. I apologize to Trance and Kat. I jumped to conclusions and assumed. Throw bricks at me if you wish. Actually, I encourage it. Trying to be fair to everyone means I need to be punished for my wrong doings aswell.

About the sex thing. The only thing I have a problem with is actually seeing it. I really don't care if you doing nearly everything up to it. Though I'd prefer that you'd keep the explicit stuff out. I don't want to read it. Ever.
Can you hug? Yes. Kiss? Sure. Cuddle? Yeah. Begin to take off clothes? fine.
Well, basically, as long as the explicit things and parts aren't seen, mentioned, referenced. It's all fine.

Obviously Saying the word fuck is an entirely different issue because when most people use the word today, they don't mean intercourse.
Swearing is obviously completely fine.

Anyways. I think it'd be wise for me to explain me, so misunderstandings aren't all too frequent.
Okay first of all, I like to talk/discuss/etc. Which may be kinda obvious from the sheer amount of pages in here compared to the pages in the actual rp thread.
Second, I'm extremely prone to jumping to conclusions. This comes along with being a paranoid individual. Not to mention I'm terrible at reading peoples intentions. Fortunately however, I'm mostly all talk, and rarely take action on my words.
Third I spose. I'm not trying to be extremely strict. Despite how it may seem. I'm trying to allow a good deal of freedom. But I'm trying not to leave too much on the players. This is my rp, I need to be responsible for it. I can't just go off and ignore this entirely.
Fourth, I don't like to be left out. That should be a simple one to understand.
There's many other quirks about me, but my mind is off wandering about now.

This. This is it. This is why I'm against the bunnying. Even the bunnying by me. As long as One, characters are consistant, Two, the pace doesn't go so fast I can't keep up, and Three, people don't go way off track. Then I'd be okay with bunnying.
Though there's one character That I really would not like bunnied. And this came up way back when i was deciding who could be a possible partner.
And that character is ofcourse, Yukari Yakumo.
Also, when it comes to fight scenes, that will be a different story entirely.

Welp. That's all for now. Since my good understanding mood has been destroyed. Anything I'd have to say on the matter now would be worthless.
Not gonna work on catching up till after I've calmed down. That usually takes a few hours, but...since there;s plentiful distraction...

I'm with the chief on the sex thing.
I know I'm a mature(lolwat), of age guy, but it's just how I am.

Personally, I think Trance and YJ might be taking things a bit too quickly, their characters did only just meet.
Then again, I could just be reading "let me see your sword" as a pervy metaphor that isn't even there. :V

And YJ, isn't Nanaya supposed to be becoming a Hermit? I daresay that things of the material plane aren't that conducive to becoming one.
(Y'know, the whole vow of poverty those monks and stuff do.)

Even love at first sight has a limit. I should know. But yeah. Takin' it a fair bit too fast you two, I'd say you guys should dial it back about....50 notches.

As for the swearing thing, that's natural for everyone.
I should know, as when I get pissed off, my dialogue usually falls between Cluster F-Bomb, and Angrish. Often a mix of the two.
So I'm generally either ranting like the Tazmanian Devil, or swearing like a sailor. And naturally, my characters usually follow that same trend, usually with more angrish than anything else though.

Not very. She makes a point of being extremely aware of her surroundings, and is always checking for possible threats. She's always been very careful, and became even more so after the... event in her past. No, it's not impossible to sneak up on her, but it is very, very, very, very hard. And abilities can't help, since her own would alert her to that.

So yeah, catching her off-guard is, um, difficult. Not impossible (nobody's perfect), but damn close to it.

Well, Tetsu's not interested in romance in general. He'd probably get flustered if someone was like stripping right in front of him, but only due to social conventions and not physical attraction. There's also the 'clueless meathead' factor. He's very focused on smithing.
There's a back story reason to it, but said back story doesn't have any effect on what's going on now unless Sonae is interested and wants it to.

Yog is pretty spot on though. It's definitely possible that he'd find platonic companionship in one person.

Reposting Profile for edits

Name: Nanaya Rekuiemu Kikasu
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Ability: Ability to manipulate Crystals
Occupation: Aspiring Hermit

Appearance: Nanaya has long, flowing light blueish hair. Her eyes are a coloration of gold surrounded by black, slit pupils. Also, whenever she smiles, she smiles to her fullest, and most people that see it can't help but feel happy too. Shes about 164cm tall, with a B, almost C bust size. Her right arm is wrapped in red ribbons, from the shoulder blade down to the tips of all over her fingers, almost as if it's covered in bandages. This somehow reduces the recoil when attempting to use magic. Nanaya wears a tight purple shirt, that has black zig-zag symbols running from her chest to her shoulders. She wears a white kurokote over it. Her waist is covered with something which resembles autumn leaves, and she wears a long, red and white skirt that starts from right under the autumn-leave things. Her ankles and feet are presumably wrapped in bandages of some sort, and Nanaya doesn't wear shoes. Nanaya has a necklace which has a turquoise embedded in it. It is said that that is what gives her her incredible luck. She looks a little frail and too small to fight, but can put a good one up if forced to.

Personality:  Nanaya is just like a hyperactive child. Very enthusiastic about almost everything, willing to do anything to have fun, but she is very stubborn when it comes to changing her manor of "Fun" once it has been initiated, like how she trained on magic instead of swordsplay, and how she stuck to it to the end... However, her said Fun, could be just about anything as well! Being the incredibly curious little girl she is, she sticks her head into almost everyone's trouble, even if it means breaking into their house just to say "Hi". Believe me, she does do that. Impulsive and happy-go-lucky, she doesn't really care about her lifestyle and such. Nanaya is also a hoarder of sorts, never willing to pack her home, in the mountains. Her current cave is currently overflowing with somewhat useless - and useful, junk. She collects random items just because they look nice or their names sound catchy.

However, away from the hyperactive side of her, is a part that is fearful of the world. Fearful of people, their thoughts, their actions, and everything. In most cases, this side would appear straight out when meeting a stranger or when Nanaya is in a place that she had never been before. In this state, she is a lost child, innocent and afraid of everything. Curious of most things normal people would consider, well, normal. She opens up to her friends(If she has any) easier in this state, but talks much less. Nanaya doesn't know what are the norms in society now, so she will react... Differently then others.

History:  Nanaya was born to a family of Samurai. As a female, she was never allowed to watch or train in the arts of the sword, so she turned to the more magical side of things. Even when her father finally allowed her to be an Onna-Bugeisha, or female samurai, she refused without hesitating to think, as she found her new abilities more... Fun, in a sense. Her father disliked this, alot, as their family was always comprised of Samurai, and all of them had expert swordsmanship.

Soon enough, at the age of 11, she was forced to learn how to wield a sword into combat. Nanaya hated it. She despised having forsaken training her now honed mysterious skills in exchange for swordsplay, but she had no choice, she had to do what her father wanted. Day after day, she had trained on the katana, hating it more every time she saw it. Every night, she would go outside and meditate, storing more energy inside of her, until it could build up and she could use it to fight instead of having to wield a blade. On her 12th birthday, she had to fight her father for the honor of upholding the clan. Her father was considerably aged, because she was late-born. He had noticed that Nanaya's skill with the blade was improving, but it wasn't because of the constant training. It was because of the energies her body had stored.

Nanaya battled her father, and won just by luck. His expertise in the way of the sword was unmatched by anyone else in the household, but Nanaya's magical enhancements and pure luck, made her successfully win. She was presented with the Arasoi no Ion, her family's heirloom. That night, she went out to the garden with the blade, sat, and practiced her magical abilities. Little did she know, her father was watching... Her father shouted, then ran towards her. Nanaya froze, turning to see her father's eyes... filled with anger... She grabbed the Arasoi no Ion, and fled to the wilderness outside the village, running, running, never stopping, reaching the mountainside...

Nanaya stayed there as a hermit, training never on her sword, but on her magic, eventually being able to use it properly. When she was 14, she ventured deep into the mountains, seeing the almost-abandoned Hakurei Shrine, ignoring it, and going deeper... She entered a cavern filled with glowing light, crystals, statues of mythical beasts... In the center, was a gauntlet... The Eien no Haretsu. Nanaya grabbed it, and walked out, feeling a strange aura from the cave behind her. The next day when she went there, the cavern had colapsed on itself, much to the surprise of Nanaya. She made her home in the mountains near the Hakurei Shrine, beside the colapsed cavern, training as a Yamabushi without using the Arasoi no Ion much. Apparently her father never sent anyone to look for her... So she forged her own path, meeting people like Kasen Ibara, who she respects as her mentor and caretaker of sorts. Life was peaceful.

Weapons:
- Arasoi no Ion, The Aeon Of Strife.
The Aeon Of Strife is a katana. Shorter then most other katanas, but still able to be classified as one. Half of the blade is entirely gold, while the other is green. Runic symbols are carved upon the blade, telling the story of Nanaya's clan... She however, cannot read. The blade itself is designed like a spike, the back of it being entirely just for parrying and blocking other weapons, while the front of it for either slashing or aggressive pushes. The front of the blade is sharp and deadly. A single slash from it, if used by a skilled user, could very likely cause mortal wounds on even a youkai. The hilt of the blade is metal, enclosed by wood and finally wrapped around in red cloth. Whenever someone wields the blade, their have to wrap the cloth around their fist. In Nanaya's case, she just attaches the cloth to the blade. That is, in a formal battle.

- Eien no Haretsu, The Rupture Of Eternity.
The Rupture Of Eternity is a fingerless glove covered by a spiked gauntlet. Black in color, with eight symbols of legendary monsters of the land, surrounding a turquoise, circular gem. It can be used to deliever a staggering blunt force, or break blades if Nanaya successfully blocks a blade in between the spikes, jamming it's movement. If this happens, Nanaya can swiftly bend her arm towards herself, creating enough force to snap a sword. It isn't that hard to jam blades in between the black spikes, but still, it requires skill. Most normal weapons of any kind can be broken with the Eien no Haretsu, even things like spears or polearms, when they hit a sufficient amount on the gauntlet, the weapon will shatter, like glass. However, weapons that are abnormal, Senri's blade for example, cannot be broken by the Eien no Haretsu unless it is used by someone with around five times as much strength as Nanaya.

In time, Nanaya will learn how to use the gauntlet to it's fullest. It will enhance Nanaya's trained magical skills. If forced to, she can concentrate all her power into her punches or blocks, allowing them to "sprout" energy. In this "mode", movement from the Eien no Haretsu leaves trails of gold energy. The "sprouted" energy can both shield(Think Sanae Hisoutensoku) the user, and damage the attacker(Think Meiling Hisoutensoku)

Other:  She likes mushrooms. Alot. She also likes frogs. Even more. Most of her training was on the Eien no Haretsu, and magical abilities, so her swordsmanship isn't so... trained up. You could easily knock the Arasoi no Ion out of her hand, and she doesn't knock how to parry with blades too. Because of her weird clothes and unique eye colouration, some people think she is actually a Youkai, when she is in fact, just a human. Having been away from her old home for an incredibly long time, she had forgotten the names of everything and everyone, their faces, their personalities, everything. Everything except what she was forced to do. What she enjoyed and what she hated.

Her greatest fears are Loneliness, and Being hated.

Ability to MAnipulate Crystals to do w.e is too specific.
It makes it hard for me to match it with other things.

Also I imagined that it'd be expanding the crystal to create spikes.

Kanmaru
Species: Human/Self-Ascended
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male
Appearance: Same as Tetsumaru. Previous appearance was a tall, bald man with no wounds or scars or blemishes on his body, and striking blue eyes. It was an 'ideal' form.
Power: (Self Proclaimed) The Power to Create 'Perfection'
Status: Dead/Succeeded

A man who sought perfection, who grasped at it with the tips of his fingers before being ousted from his throne by the very beings he looked down on. In his death throes, he tried to create a new vassal to move his soul into, a perfect body that would accomodate his every need, but he failed. And as he watched that child form in front of him, that five year old who would grow to form his very ideals with his bare hands, he accepted death and passed away.

His ability was forged through hard work and suffering. To create perfection...what does that entail? Altering what exists? Creating something new?...even if he called that power his own, he still sought a way to 'perfect' even that. To him, everything was to be perfected...the form, the body, the thought, the soul, the world. Flaws existed everywhere, and all he wanted was to fix them...

Though he left a vestige of himself within that creation, that has now faded into nothing after the first, and final, conversation with his successor. What lies for him beyond the void is unknown, even with the defined after lives of Gensokyo, for he had succeeded humanity and yet never embraced youkai nature during his life. Now all that's left is his legacy, the child smith who wields a hidden blade...

(I wanted to get this out here because I didn't want anticipation of Tetsumaru's backstory meeting up with him bogging down my participation in the RP. He's left the suggestion of Tetsumaru's powers to the boy, but he'll have no further impact. The man is well and truly dead.)

Post by: Amraphenson on January 25, 2012, 08:10:29 PM
If you're so narrow minded as to only compare it to that, I'm kinda miffed. 'Holy Grail' is a metaphor for anything that's unachievable. Kanmaru was a human who sought 'perfection', which is unachievable. People automatically attributing the Holy Grail to one visual novel kinda make people who actually know anything about Arthurian legends sad, you know. And people automatically going 'oh fate stay night ripoff' when I mention one thing that's related to it kinda make people sad too.
Why does it matter anyway? The guy is dead and gone. He's not going to do anything.

and yes, obviously the ability to form ideals into reality is a fate stay night ripoff. Obviously the only application is making weapons like Shirou does, and obviously I totally copied the idea from there. His ability is influenced by that, sure. It's hard not to let things influence you. But I'm honestly offended if you think I'm just lifting it all from there.

Apologies for trying to help you out by getting a plot point that wouldn't mesh well with the rest of the story out of the way, by the way. Guess trying to help the GM with story flow is a bad thing. I'll just leave it for later so I can totally jack the plot with 'ohmygawd backstory guyz, I have to solve this' later on, alright?

Honestly...

Edit: Admittedly, it does seem like that. Yes, I like Fate/Stay Night. Yes, the examples I gave were very similar to Fate/Stay Night. Is it a problem that I gave you examples that would be easy to picture? Or do you want me to go into a complex description of how Tetsumaru's unawoken powers have begun and will subtly alter his body composition to something not-human yet not-youkai, ostensibly because his 'ideal' of 'himself' isn't restricted by such descriptions because he lives in Gensokyo? Or is that 'denied' because the character is now 'broken'? Or worse off, 'unoriginal'? I'm doing my damn best to make my character fit more easily into this RP, Sonae, but if you're just going to shoot me down when I go out of my way and kill off a character I wanted to use later just to help you out with story flow, then...I don't know what to say. I like Tetsumaru, as a character I put thought and time into creating, and I wanted to have fun with him. Right now, I'm not. Because you still haven't figured out what to do with him, and when I try to make it easier for you to do so by getting rid of the main obstacle, you shoot it down. It's a tad frustrating.

And GYMO I'm not demanding he change it. I'm saying me as a person/player is vocalizing what i think.


Not to mention this is Japan, way back. Not Europe way back.
Maybe it's just a certain dislike I have for something I wont mention cause it'll cause a mutiny.

And I'm not Kat, so please, don't think of me that way.
And no I did not say you were Kat, so i didn't infer you steal everything from games/anime/w.e

Post by: Amraphenson on January 25, 2012, 11:06:06 PM
You didn't exactly make it clear whether you were saying it as a GM or player. ==;

There was a hint in that dialogue, but it wasn't meant for Tetsumaru. The emphasis there was for us, rather than for the characters. Tetsumaru doesn't have anything

There's also a difference between the voice of the guy who writes the descriptions, who ostensibly knows everything, and the actual character. It's not as though he would in character describe it as a 'holy grail', it was just a metaphor I was using as a description. Like I said, 'holy grail' as in 'unachievable thing', not an actual tangible item.

There isn't going to be any memory recovery because there's no memories to recover. Kanmaru is a seperate person. Tetsu's life truly started at the 'age' of five. That's what I was trying to get at. Along with that, Tetsumaru wouldn't get any sort of hint that he has a power from that dialogue, would he? I understand I'm not allowed to let him use it until whenever.

Might I ask what you think I've ripped off? I honestly don't see it, beyond Tetsumaru's ability's vague resemblance to tracing and that one off mention of a Holy Grail which isn't the actual Holy Grail in any way.. You're looking into it more than I am.

The main purpose of the post was to just get his backstory, and all the possible, 'split personality', 'lost memories', and other possible stuff out of the way so that you, as a GM, would have an easier time working with the character. I understand that it's hard to plan stuff for a character if they have stuff waiting in the background like that. Apparently I didn't achieve that. ==

Edit: I don't know what you expect me to say when you point out one thing in total out of nowhere and then call it a ripoff. If there's a bunch of things, tell me about it at least.

I cannot be on MSN all the time and I only use Windows Messenger, which complicates things.

I'm not going to DL MSN Live Messenger just to be able to talk to one or two people when I already have good contact with everyone on either IRC or Skype. Furthermore not everyone has the time to sit down and write a lengthy PM to clarify things with you.

I'd suggest that as a GM you are more flexible with how people can contact you. It's unfair on us as the players to be so imposing and yet not even open to more than two forms of contact.

To be honest, it looks like you are the one who is grumpy and frustrated.  :V I honestly have no problems at the moment except for Kat constantly harassing me to post, but misinterpreting what some other players are proposing and then proceeding to yell at them for it is something that's pretty worrying. I'm just concerned that the GM/player relationship is pretty shaky.

Youmu is there to help clean while Yuyuko eats watches.
I'll try to speed up Sour's scenario since I need to get a move on.
Second, you're romance is going so fast it seems like one of you will be naked the next time they sleep together x.x'

Orphea if you're out there reading this, you better be read to reply when the time comes.
If you don't reply by the time Sanaya, Laresa, Sora, Senri, Nanaya, Tetsumaru, Amaya, and Takuma are all there, then I'm going to move on without you. I've made everyone wait long enough already.

And I apologize but I'll start my reply tomorrow, I need some rest. For my body and mind.

But either way, I shall let you continue. But on one condition
That you two slow down your pace. Post in Moderation only.

Anyways, we're approaching a miniskip. So yeah...
The following is an estimation in lowest form. ? = unknown or unsure.

Posts Needed from;;
Sora x3
Sanaya x1
Takuma x2
Tetsumaru x?
Laresa x0
Kisei x0
Kohaku x1?
Senri x?
Nanaya x?
Hotaru x?
Amaya x2?
Yumiko x0

Miniskip is basically a minor time skip, not skipping enough time to be called a full one i spose.
Basically it'll be the Feast's start.

Depends on the content I spose. If you think you can make it work without actually arriving at the shrine yet, then you can most likely go ahead.

Edit;
As long as you don't arrive at the shrine you're fine.

Anyways Since I've got a bigmouth and talk to much, I can't find the sprite requests for Laresa.
So GYMO
What color are Laresa's eyes? is her 'pack' a backpack? If so use Nitori's? Why does an image of her in a white tshirt and short jean like shorts with a extreme figure jump into my head?

@Nanananabatya
Is she wearing a tshirt and skirt, or a dress?

Since lolIfailatfindingthings, I'll need ppl to repost their requests, preferably with more detail too.

Oh neither have I. I'm still here. Things are just....slow...

Post by: Sonae on February 05, 2012, 02:25:01 PM
You haven't even woken up yet. How do you expect to get to the feast if you don't wake up?
Maybe you should think ahead alittle before making Nanaya fall asleep
Title: Re: On The Boundary ~ Legend of Illusionary Paradise [Discussion Thread]
Post by: [Y]oukai [J]esus on February 05, 2012, 03:44:51 PM
Timeskip, so you can make her wake up and do shit. I mean, you see me and Katelin do that all the time in EoG. I mean, there wasn't anything else I could make Nanaya do. A girl arrived in her new temp. home, and because it is around 50x better then sleeping on a stone floor at night, she makes herself comfortable. So, as an obvious choice, I got her and Senri to talk talk talk, develop develop develop, and then end with her sleeping like how Katelin sleeps.

Mind you, Katelin moans in her sleep because her bed is Tempur. And I must say, it is amazingly comfy.

Anyway if I make Nanaya up, what would she even do? The. Least. She can do is continue talking to Senri and/or venture about the house, but that will make a nice surge in back-n-forth replies between me and Trance. At most, Nanaya can go outside to town... But I'm not quite sure the godfuck she would do out there.

To be honest I made her sleep because I wanted a time skip. I'm busy enough with Katelin Mia, me having to prepare gifts and send them, exams in 3 weeks, my parents, some gaming event which Dular is helping me with, EoG(Alice), drawing EoG posters and that bloody Valentines Day. Really not in the mood to back-n-forth with Trance fttb.

To summarize this, "OHDEAR!!! Timeskip Pl0x"

Now seeing as you nagged me when I was extremely busy...

An apology would be nice~

Btw you ignored my question completely.

It's not even a time skip really.

So wait, I'm not quite sure what's going on. Has the time skipped happened? Do I do anything? Or can I still chill for a bit?
Title: Re: On The Boundary ~ Legend of Illusionary Paradise [Discussion Thread]
Post by: Sonae on February 05, 2012, 08:43:55 PM
Chill for a bit longer.

Also, certain 'teams' will arrive at different times.
Since I don't believe in the chance that everyone would arrive at the same time.
Solo characters, such as Sanaya, Takuma, Laresa, Tetsumaru, and uh...Kisei! They can be arriving or be there after I give the word for the Feast to go.
The first 'team' to arrive will be the Moriya crew.
Then Remi and Sora.
Senri and Nanaya I've decided will be kinda late since someone is in dreamland. Also if you want you can change into better clothes (Mainly directed to Nanaya) since they prolly kinda dusty and dirty from your trip.
Keine will be the last to arrive.
Yumiko isn't going to the feast.
Hotaru ???
Also the solos are allowed to trickle in if they wish until Remi and Sora or Senri and Nanaya arrive. So try to get there before then.
I feel as if I'm forgetting someone...
Be them Player or NPC

Edit::
Btw this is your guys' last chance to request a touhou to attend the feast.
I will accept who is reasonable.

Another Edit;;
Okay here's a list of people who could possibly attend the feast. You might need to persuade me though.
Alice Margatroid
Fujiwara no Mokou
Mamizou Futatsuiwa
Seiga Kaku
Mononobe no Futo
Toyosatomimi no Miko
Byakuren Hijiri
Shou Toramaru

You guys can come up with some. So I don't have to plan them all.
so submit any ideas for Optional Missions.
I can't think of any real restrictions atm.
Side Missions can be pretty much anything. So suggest and we'll see.

Sorry for the slow update, I'm a little stumped on how to finish Sour's section.

One of Hideaki's customers has a certain problem, and he'd like for you to help them. Details may vary, but probably just mundane things.

Yes I'm ripping off Assassin's Creed Brotherhood with this idea

So yeah because loltheabove, I'll prolly create a setup similar to the contract menu on there because it's just too awesome

Wtf internet. Stop deleting my edits >:

ANYWAYS.

Let the brainstorm begin. Start with a large list of Mission formats. Escort, Delivery, Defend, etc. etc.

Post by: GuyYouMetOnline on February 10, 2012, 01:25:19 AM
I understand how you could miss seeing this, but this is really another example of you trying to control too much, Sonae. It probably looks like the opposite, since you're allowing people to do missions unrelated to the main plot, but that's the problem. This isn't a video game, it's an RP. Having designated sidequests isn't really appropriate. If players want to go off from the main plot, they should just go off from the main plot. They can have things come up for their characters, or have something draw them away, or whatever. But that's not what you're doing. By making designated sidequests, you're saying that we can only go off from the main plot via them. If people want to do stuff off of the main plot, just let them do it. Don't limit them to given missions, even if they are allowed to suggest missions.

Title: Re: On The Boundary ~ Legend of Illusionary Paradise [Discussion Thread]
Post by: Sonae on February 11, 2012, 02:27:07 PM
Hey Crow did you draw that?

Anyways I might aswell address GYMO's post now.

Okay.
First of all, Not everyone will just head out and do shit without some kind of trigger. So far the only one that i know could head out to some random part of Gensokyo without any lead is Takuma. No one else seems like they'd take the initiative.
Second, I haven't heard a single one of you come to me and say 'Hey, I want so and so to go to Youkai Mountain at some point'. I know a few of you have asked me about some things, but No one has asked things like 'can I go here' or 'can I meet her'
Third. With Optional Missions set up, it forces me to plan out various things to keep players busy. I think you've already seen that some characters have almost nothing to do. This is a solution to that.
So how is that too controlling? Would you prefer I keep leaving those that don't get themselves involved out? Not everyone is able to force their character into things.
And who said that these missions would be the only plot deviation? It wasn't me. The actual plot doesn't kick in for a while and I've said many times. Discuss with me.
You've seemed to have completely miss my intentions.
Now if you'll excuse me, I've got an update to rewrite.

EDIT;;

YAYYYYYYYYYYYY
UPDATE IS DONEEEEEEEEEEEEE
FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYY \o/

I guess it wouldn't hurt to give my so called marching orders now

Sora - Hasn't arrived yet
Sanaya - You should know what to do. No need for me to tell you.
Takuma - You should know aswell
Tetsumaru - Same as the above
Laresa - Look up
Kisei - ^
Kohaku - You're already at the feast. So idk. Greet people? idk. Whatever floats your boat.
Senri - Oh geez you better get going before you miss dat feast!
Nanaya - WAKE UP NANAYA
Hotaru - ??? I still don't know...
Amaya - You haven't arrived yet. So just relax for a bit.
Yumiko - WAKE UP YUMIKO!!!

Orphea you better post >: Else imma beat you with a soft object.
For Sanaya, Takuma, Tetsumaru, Laresa, and Kisei, you should either be there by now, or just arriving.
Trance, feel free to have Youko nag you two if you want. She's your character after all.

Posting update nao.

Tch, can't bang out a post tonight, but I can get one out tomorrow.

I'm seeing the sidequests more as additional stuff to do between plot events, kinda like how they are elsewhere.
Keep in mind, they're in games like D&D too.

Post by: Oldmansour on February 12, 2012, 12:37:07 AM
If somebody wanted to stop Kisei from pilfering the shrine like a dirty parasite, that'd be great. I don't think I will, because Kohaku will do her best to take Kisei's head off. And that would probably be frowned upon.

No, I completely understand your intentions. I just thought you were going about them inappropriately. The balance between freedom and structure is always tricky to get right in something like this, and it looked to me like you were leaning too much towards structure, although now it sounds like I may very well have been wrong.

I will say one thing, though: I recommend that you don't require players to clear absolutely everything with you. If someone wants to suddenly have something come up in their character's personal life, that really shouldn't have to be cleared with you. Only things that could affect the overall plot should have to be cleared with you, at least in my opinion. It's kind of hard to tell right now, of course, but once the main plot actually kicks in, it'll be easier. But whatever. It's your RP; I'm just giving advice based on my own experience with RPs, both running and participating in.

Or you could, you know, just walk up to her and talk to her?
She is at the Feast after all.
Plus what would you ask Kohaku? She knows less of Suika than Laresa does. She'd be useless.

Still waiting on some people i think.

Post by: GuyYouMetOnline on February 14, 2012, 02:24:48 AM
She may not know Suika's name, but she's seen Suika. When Laresa shows up asking about a girl with horns, well, I would imagine that Kohaku would recall the girl that showed up to stop Youmu from attacking her. Then Laresa's just going to ask where Suika is at the moment.

Investigate
Rescue
Race

Delivery
Escort
Exterminate
Scout
Duel
Test
Shogi
Spar

Some other unfinished ideas are the following.

Challenge
Avenge
Handle?
Compete?
Infiltrate
Counteracting Rumors.


Descriptions will come once I decide and define all the types

Edit;;
Started reading, wont start writing for a bit yet. Still wanna give Marou a chance to post.

Anyways.
GUESS WAT YOG
HOTARU'S GONNA HAVE SOMETHING TO DO.
Also for things I've planned for Kisei, I'd prefer it if you had Hideaki refering to Kohaku. Not to mention Kisei looks nothing like a shrine maiden.
Should I have a little list of where people have put their characters or something?

Oh good, I've been in a slump lately, and so I haven't really been initiating any real action with Hotaru.

I guess I could if Sourfang wants to respond instead. Hideaki is a bit carefree when it comes to others, so he probably would've asked the same question to anyone he would've met there.



And I'm just confused on Sourfang's location, I can gather where the others are, just not Kohaku for some reason.

At the moment, Kohaku is in one of the back rooms of the shrine, one of the dingy, unused places. Hiding from Yuyuko.

Post by: Hanzo K. on February 23, 2012, 09:10:18 PM
I think I have a few ideas. Even got Mission Names too, just like in RPGs.

Training!/Sparring! - Tiger Dojo! (It could fit in either category really.)
I, Shou Toramaru, have been lax in my training! As a devout follower of Bishamonten, this is unacceptable!
So, I place this message here, hoping that those who read this would possibly help some?


Retrieve! - Lost Treasure!
It's Shou again, I've lost my Jeweled Pagoda(again), and Nazrin can't find it this time! Help?!

Capture! - Troublesome Rabbit!
Tewi has been running all over Gensokyo, and causing trouble. Could someone bring her back so I can discipline her? - Eirin Yagokoro

Shogi! - Boredom is Bad News!
With Momiji's busy schedule these days, I can't play Shogi as much as I want to!
Sure, it leaves me time to work on my inventions, but you know the old saying, 'All work and no play makes for one dull kappa!'.
Besides, after the last invention of mine that blew up, folks haven't been wanting me to have too much time on my hands. Like now, know what I mean? -Nitori Kawashiro


Delivery! - Charcoal for The Village!
Hey, I got a big shipment of Charcoal for the village, but I got a bit carried away and made too much.
So I'm putting this here to see if I can't find some people to lend a hand. I'm pretty sure we can work something out as far as payment goes too. -Mokou Fujiwara

I see no one is being helpful with planning.

reposted from last post

Quote
oops, forgot to make a note about the mentors.
Certain characters have specific mentors that they most likely wont be shaaring with others.
These are people like say, parents.
So Senri could have Youko as a mentor. And Amaya Sanae.
If you guys wanted you could prolly force me to think up a mentor for you all.

Also, The most likely route I'll take for these missions is that the player will accept them here outside of the game. The main reason being it's hard to put this mission list in an easily accessible place for everyone

Anyways don't expect any update any time soon. My fucking garbage computer is crashing like every 5 minutes on me.

Okay. So, when and if she turns around to see if someone is there, she's gonna see Yuyuko standing in the doorway with a smile on her face. Eyes closed, one of those somewhat unnerving smiles like she was watchiing the whole time or something.

I'm just waiting for things to kick into high gear. Can't really complain if I'm trying to brace myself for it. In fact, with the way things are right now, I'm free to cause trouble without too much reprecussions.

It's good, I mean it's a tad slow, but I guess better that then suddenly everything a bit too fast for me to catch up if that makes sense. There was some trouble with me unable to go on from my slump so Hotaru's position went stagnant, but that my fault and I'm digressing right now.

Although side missions sounds odd. Like side plots, but a one time thing or something.



Maybe I'll clarify when I actually get some rest.

I've voiced my complaints previously. I will, however, repeat the one about absolutely no bunnying of canon characters, as that one's rearing its head again with Laresa speaking to Suika.

Anyways, You guys DO know that Remi HAS arrived and made her presence well known. I was hoping some of you would react to it.
Particularily Hanzo.

Laresa doesn't care at the moment. She's more concerned with Suika. Speaking of which, WHY THE HELL HAVEN'T YOU GIVEN LARESA AN UPDATE YET?

Amnesia or Mute?

Dude, this is my mental image of Yuugi. It's been around in my head for quite some time now. Speaking of which, will Yuugi come to the feast?

EDIT: I got hit by Yuyu's alternate 236B/C? Cool!
Title: Re: On The Boundary ~ Legend of Illusionary Paradise [Discussion Thread]
Post by: Sonae on March 11, 2012, 03:35:22 PM
Nah, Yuugi isn't coming. The feast was announced too suddenly for the people far out to hear about it. That's why Komachi isn't there. Plus, apparently above ground Youkai aren't allowed underground.

Trance, does Senri sound like a girl as well? Like is his voice very feminine or just a little? Wonderin cause I wanna know if it's feminine enough for Senri to pass as a girl without any suspicion.

Anyways I'm going to try and speed things up a bit. I may post today.
Title: Re: On The Boundary ~ Legend of Illusionary Paradise [Discussion Thread]
Post by: trancehime on March 11, 2012, 03:45:17 PM
He could easily pass off as a girl without much suspicion. You can blame that on Youko's tomfoolery and magicking his voice to something very girly :getdown:

Post by: Hanzo K. on March 11, 2012, 04:28:11 PM
To be honest, I always imagined him to sound somewhere between male and female.
Kinda like Kino, from Kino no Tabi/Kino's Journey. Here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEQoUFCUoN0) an example. (Watch to the end of this part for something no gun nut would miss. Even I find it awesome.)

Yeah that's what I imagined as well. Like in animes where a male is voiced by a female.
Also lol at cutti- well, more like shooting down a tree.

Okay Update's done. Posting nao.

Anyways, I've decided to give you guys a sort of gift. Or atleast test run something on you.

For those at the feast, bunnying will be allowed for the remainder of the event. With conditions however

The conditions are as follows.

---

1. Use your head and common sense.

2. Remilia, Keine, and Yuyuko are the exception to the aboe, due to various reasons. You may NOT bunny them.

3. Iencourage you all to keep the characters actually IN character. I wont delete your post or anything if you aren't 100% on character.
The exception to the above rule is that if you were to have say, the total opposite of Suika and patroy her like that


Meehhhh, I'm too sleepy for this

You aren;;t required to bunny characters. It;s entirely optional.
Also
NPCs will not say anyything of Yukari and obviously nothing of Reimu

So with that, I hope EVERYONE Sits down and enjoys the merry making. Be as wild as you wish and drink to your hearts's content!!!

Yoo tiredfd to think or tpye ior see atm - - '

Edit:
What ): No one's posted. ;-;

Yog if you don't want to bunny I can respond instead. Like I said, bunnying is optional and if you don't want to write for NPCs, then just ask or say so.
