[Touhou] future hypothetical character considerations
[Touhou] future hypothetical character considerations
Princess Emily
BWAAAAAH!
So I haven’t quite figured out if this is the character herself, or just who she works for or what
BWAAAAAH!
But
BWAAAAAH!
I think I actually did a plurk about this a while ago
BWAAAAAH!
Man, queen of the fairies
BWAAAAAH!
Mab*
BWAAAAAH!
She’s used to commanding terrifying fae
BWAAAAAH!
All 
BWAAAAAH!
Then she moved to Gensokyo
BWAAAAAH!
and all she has to work with is this
and all she has to work with is this
You're Quinner
they may look unreliable, but once you get to know them
You're Quinner
you find that they're even less reliable than they look
Princess Emily
why is there an american fairy
You're Quinner
she dresses like that to antagonize the lunarians
You're Quinner
by evoking the image of the flag Armstrong planted on the moon
Princess Emily
you know what that makes sense
You're Quinner
that's 100% true canon
Freakin Bat
She'll definitely get in a fight with Remilia, because those fairy maids.
BWAAAAAH!
OKAY
BWAAAAAH!
JESUS FUCK TODAY IS STUPID
BWAAAAAH!
I can talk now
BWAAAAAH!
So Mab just kind of takes over all the fairies in Gensokyo without trying
BWAAAAAH!
Because she’s terrifying and powerful
BWAAAAAH!
But ruling the gensokyo fairies is like ruling cats
BWAAAAAH!
So my character, I think
BWAAAAAH!
Was the boss fairy who Mab deposed
BWAAAAAH!
A kinda cirno-esque figure
BWAAAAAH!
She can’t beat Mab
BWAAAAAH!
But Mab can’t destroy her because fairies just bounce back from anything you do to them like looney toons
BWAAAAAH!
So she’s just endlessly plotting her revenge against Mab in halfbrained schemes that never work
BWAAAAAH!
But they do annoy the hell out of her
BWAAAAAH!
Mab is now a grumpy wine mom
You're Quinner
oh I figured Mab was your character, this sounds more touhou-ish than that
BWAAAAAH!
Yeah
Princess Emily
nods
You're Quinner
also opens the way for like
You're Quinner
scary foreign fairies as antagonists
BWAAAAAH!
I think this interpretation is great as a touhou character, but not as a PC
BWAAAAAH!
My character gets obliterated by Mab about once a week
BWAAAAAH!
Agi/guts harasser build
BWAAAAAH!
And to be clear
BWAAAAAH!
I don’t think she should ever beat Mab
BWAAAAAH!
The status quo should be maintained here
BWAAAAAH!
Like presumably the PARTY would beat her at some point
BWAAAAAH!
But that’s not enough to become the boss of the fairies again
BWAAAAAH!
She’s gotta beat Mab without help
BWAAAAAH!
Ideal would be for her to challenge Mab to a rematch with her newfound strength and then get obliterated again as usual
BWAAAAAH!
Freakin Bat
: This would be an AU Gensokyo with all new characters so Mab and Remilia are, unfortunately, not in conflict
Freakin Bat
oh, I see
BWAAAAAH!
I pictured Mab somewhere in the same weight class as Remilia though
BWAAAAAH!
Or maybe Yuyuko
dragon time
Oh that rules. Dumb as hell, extremely funny
BWAAAAAH!
That’s the ideal vibe yeah
BWAAAAAH!
This implies the existence of Gensokyo fairies who are cosplaying as unseelie lords
BWAAAAAH!
Trying to be all sinister and mysterious and doing a terrible job
BWAAAAAH!
Fairies tend to have not Japanese sounding names
BWAAAAAH!
Luna, Sunny, Star, Cirno, Letty, Clownpiece, etc
BWAAAAAH!
So I’ve gotta think of something suitably whimsical sounding
BWAAAAAH!
First thing that came to mi d is Gebbi
BWAAAAAH!
(Or possibly Gebby)
You're Quinner
the names do generally mean something relevant to the character
BWAAAAAH!
But I think I can do better
You're Quinner
Cirno iirc comes from 'chill'
You're Quinner
Clownpiece is a clown, moon/sun/star, etc
BWAAAAAH!
God what if I do a companion build and have a sort of Don Quixote and Pancho thing going on
BWAAAAAH!
No I think not
BWAAAAAH!
I've done enough duos
BWAAAAAH!
hmm
hmm
Princess Emily
Second one is very cute, but looks like she has her shit together, which is obviously a negative for Touhou fairies,
BWAAAAAH!
That's a good point
BWAAAAAH!
brainstorm
BWAAAAAH!
Rain Fairy
BWAAAAAH!
so there's just a precocious child in a raincoat
BWAAAAAH!
following the party around and talking MAD shit
You're Quinner
possible words to build a name off of: Drizzle, Monsoon, Shower, Flurry, Drop
BWAAAAAH!
fairy-ish vibes
fairy-ish vibes
BWAAAAAH!
little creepier
little creepier
BWAAAAAH!
So far I think the banana Fairy might be the winner
Princess Emily
honestly banana fairy is good
You're Quinner
yeah I like that one
BWAAAAAH!
The one Emily suggested was too together with her shit has the advantage of having a bunch of art
Princess Emily
it's honestly a really cute pb but she just doesn't look like she gets up to fairy shenanigans, she looks like the reasonable and mature one
BWAAAAAH!
where as banancoat looks like she's really good at thinking up step ONE of her plans
You're Quinner
step 2 will sort itself out when you get there
BWAAAAAH!
I'm wondering
BWAAAAAH!
if it would be possible to do something in the same vein as Hannah's character in UE
BWAAAAAH!
Not exactly that
BWAAAAAH!
but like a character who just constantly "dies" and reforms herself like Wil E Coyote
BWAAAAAH!
Cirno's gimmick in Fairy Wars where she can just push forwards as long as she has enough willpower to fight
You're Quinner
something like Plucky in SRS, maybe
You're Quinner
where you have 1 max HP but can revive yourself as a support action
BWAAAAAH!
what's SRS?
BWAAAAAH!
I'm blanking
You're Quinner
super robot spirits
You're Quinner
SRWQ
BWAAAAAH!
righto k
BWAAAAAH!
right ok
BWAAAAAH!
Yeah something like that
Princess Emily
If we can think of a good way to do that mechanically, then sure. I'm not sure how that'd equate to Valor exactly though, since you probably don't wanna actually play a flunky or something like that.
BWAAAAAH!
I do not want to play a flunky it's true
BWAAAAAH!
Maybe I'll just give her good guts
BWAAAAAH!
and flavor it as getting owned on every attack
You're Quinner
Custom Flaw that makes you fall prone whenever you get hit
BWAAAAAH!
oh god is this the time to finally play the tumbler build?
BWAAAAAH!
Get rolling recovery and rising attack
BWAAAAAH!
constantly knock yourself over
BWAAAAAH!
And just constantly do absurd acrobatics with all your techs
dragon time
Oh I did the roll rise prone combo with Iseul it was really fun
BWAAAAAH!
Since we’re all flying all the time in this, I imagine it would be more like just corkscrewing unpredictably through the air
dragon time
Constantly going "aaaaaaa imeanttodothAT AAAAAAA"
BWAAAAAH!
Crashing into walls
BWAAAAAH!
God
BWAAAAAH!
Variant on the dash mod that lets you reposition yourself
BWAAAAAH!
So you can crash into enemies for bonus damage
BWAAAAAH!
Causing you to both take a DI
dragon time
Get the skill where you get to move if you dodge an attack and do that while yelling
dragon time
Oh my god
dragon time
Eric that's so dumb it's perfect
BWAAAAAH!
Incompatible with immovable
BWAAAAAH!
You are EXTRA movable
Princess Emily
there IS the move core
BWAAAAAH!
...lightweight, flaw
BWAAAAAH!
Reposition attacks gets +1 spaces on you
BWAAAAAH!
Princess Emily
: there is but I was imagining a forehead missile attack
BWAAAAAH!
I guess I could just put the health limit on it
BWAAAAAH!
And the movement limit to represent needing enough space for the run up
BWAAAAAH!
I’m already in love with this character
BWAAAAAH!
Annoying fanon havers everywhere: I haven't decided on a name yet but her TITLE
BWAAAAAH!
Is Daiyousei
