Some touhous powers are pretty blatantly stated as well. :/
Yeah, but they don't all have to be fully defined, is just what i'm trying to point out. It's not just that they're blatantly stated, but there's a lot of wiggle room and you don't have to have the full scope of abilities.
Just noticed, but everyone's abilities on the Plot writeup are "Manipulation of
(some concept) ". We don't have to change any one person's ability per se, but we might want to leave things open to having non "Manipulation of ___" type abilities.
Also, my tentative bio. I'd like to know what people think, and I'll take any and all suggestions/discussions. After all, our Ijiyatsu selves are essentially our existences and impressions on this board, and who knows this better than all of you? I tried to keep it sorta quirky and vague in ZUN style. :V
Name: Nobu
Species: Youkai
Abilities: Manipulation of affection
Occupation: Fledgling Deity
Bio: Also she has not been in CPMC for very long, she quickly won favor and acceptance, and attained Deity status due to her power to manipulate affection. She has been taken under Theorist's wing as a little sister. Theorist plans to use Nobu's power to spread affection for Rin Satsuki across the world and give her the chance at adoration she never had.
Nobu's own motivations are not fully known. She usually is seen around others as friendly and affectionate, but sometimes can be found alone acting aloof and lost in thought. Since becoming a deity, another more serious and condescending side to her personality has emerged from time to time.
Nobu is always seen with a snake that floats around her(currently unnamed). Even though they are always together, the snake is not really a pet, nor is it exactly a friend either. When asked about the snake, Nobu will either just shrug, or say "Is that so~?", then change the subject.
The snake acts as a guardian and will protect her from obvious harm, though whether it's actually guarding her or just guarding itself is another question entirely. Sometimes it may appear that they coordinate attacks, but this is (mostly) just a coincidence.
The flower on her head is another mystery as well, of which Nobu also acts oblivious about. Maybe the snake is protecting the flower?
