more musing on fairy nonsense

Some other fairies that didn't make the cut:

Emily was right, I think, that she doesn't look like enough of a dumbass for this character

Princess Emily

@deerleisure

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:14 AM

it's obviously a fairy

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:14 AM

but she's SO fucking cute

Princess Emily

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:14 AM

you are right there

@Overbringer

Fairies are weak

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:17 AM

But

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:17 AM

They have two ways of becoming stronger

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:17 AM

1: By hanging around powerful yokai

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:18 AM

2: Just by sheer willpower and guts

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:18 AM

also they're embodiments of nature so like while they're around what they represent they're stronger

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:20 AM

I'm picturing to give the vibe that she's ostensibly a bit weaker than the other characters I'm envisioning a custom flaw

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:20 AM

Lightweight: All damage attacks that target this character count as if they had 1 additional space of reposition

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:20 AM

So she's just constantly getting punted around the battlefield

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:22 AM

I think

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:23 AM

That the fairies have always low key had a big dramatic and confusing Game of Thrones thing going on

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:23 AM

With factions forming and dissolving and betraying each other

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:23 AM

Made all the more confusing by the fact that half the time they just forget and play together

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:24 AM

And forget who's on who's side

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:24 AM

But the title they're all competing over is Daiyousei

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:24 AM

The Boss Fairy

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:26 AM

Okay I gotta come up with a name

Drizzle, Monsoon, Flurry

Princess Emily

@deerleisure

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:31 AM

Drip, Sprinkle,

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:35 AM

Monsoon is too cool

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:36 AM

I'm not sure I want it to just be a word eitehr

dragon time

@MadarFoxfire

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:37 AM

Take out or add a syllable that sounds kinda touhou

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:37 AM

Sprinkle or Drizzle feels like the right root word

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:38 AM

Drizz wouldn't be bad except I already have someone on my timeline who goes by Drizz

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:47 AM

I'm actually considering it

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:48 AM

Riv, short for river

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:49 AM

I kinda like it

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:49 AM

so maybe less a rain fairy and more just a general water fairy

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:49 AM

OKAY SO

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:50 AM

The title of Daiyousei bounces around a lot

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:50 AM

But Riv has had it more than any other fairy

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:50 AM

Being Daiyousei means you can boss the other fairies around though if they don't feel like it they will absolutely just

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:50 AM

ignore you

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:51 AM

The whole thing was very whimsical and childlike

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:51 AM

Kids playing at cutthroat medieval politics

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:51 AM

Until Mab showed up

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:51 AM

She isn't the Daiyousei because she considers the title beneath her

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:52 AM

But no other fairy comes even CLOSE to her power, so right now there just isn't a Daiyousei

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 5:26 AM

I think the general shape of the conflict is

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 5:27 AM

Mab is trying to make the fairies get RESPECT

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 5:27 AM

And the fairies approve of that

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 5:27 AM

but she's doing it by trying to make them act scary

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 5:27 AM

and getting mad at them when they aren't any good at it

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 5:27 AM

So the fairies are like "SHE'S MEAN AND SCARY"

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 5:28 AM

And Riv wants to bring back the carefree days from before

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 5:28 AM

Though she's phrasing it as "I'M GONNA SHOW HER WHO'S BOSS!"

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 5:28 AM

"(IT'S ME I'M THE BOSS)"

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 5:29 AM

Because she's kinda dumb and not very good at thinking about things critically

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 5:29 AM

All she knows is that things are less fun now and it's Mab's fault

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 1:47 PM

I realize that last time I created a tabletop character with a three letter name that started with Ri-, it went badly

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 1:47 PM

So I am giving you all my solemn oath

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 1:47 PM

I am not up to anything sinister this time

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 1:54 PM

I think there’s a creek behind Anzu’s shrine

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 1:54 PM

And that’s where Riv lives

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 1:55 PM

She’s got like a cave

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 1:55 PM

That, if you actually go into it, looks more like a tasteful cottage

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 1:56 PM

A hobbit hole, if you will

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 2:12 PM

I guess actually it makes sense that Riv is getting stronger over the course of the game

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 2:13 PM

In addition to her own experience and growth

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 2:13 PM

She is hanging out with a number of powerful youkai

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 2:13 PM

(The PCs)

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:54 PM

Riv as a person is like

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:54 PM

Kinda childlike, like most fairies

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:54 PM

She thinks she’s hot shit, like Cirno

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:55 PM

But while Cirno thinks she’s Goku, Riv thinks she’s Aragorn

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:55 PM

holy shit

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:55 PM

The deposed queen, living humbly in exile until the time is right to return and bring about a golden age

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:56 PM

Just as a brainstorm, I do wonder if it might be more touhou-ish to replace Just Mab with a Touhou character heavily inspired by Mab

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 3:57 PM

like how Prince Shotoku is in touhou but reworked as the cute taoist girl Toyosatomimi no Miko

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 4:06 PM

There’s western characters in gensokyo occasionally

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 4:07 PM

I obviously don’t know what Emily is planning but in my head Mab is filling the role of Remilia

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 4:07 PM

Hmm

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 4:08 PM

Maybe someone connected to Mab in the same way Remilia is connected to Dracula

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 4:08 PM

(Questionably)

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 4:09 PM

yeah not making Mab japanese, just, adding one more layer of obfuscation

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 4:09 PM

Mab with a weirder name and a funny hat

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 4:10 PM

I think it being actually Mab is the joke

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 4:10 PM

fair enough

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 4:10 PM

A big shot who’s been reduced to queen of the playground

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 4:17 PM

Anyway I think the main thing Riv did as daiyousei was if some human or youkai was being mistreating fairies she’d gather up a posse of whoever was around and ambush them

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 4:17 PM

Which would actually sometimes work against opponents who weren’t particularly powerful

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 4:18 PM

If it was someone with actual power then phase two was generally “run away screaming”

Princess Emily

@deerleisure

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 4:39 PM

I do know at least one western character I was going to be using besides Mab so it's not too out there

Princess Emily

@deerleisure

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 4:40 PM

maybe they're in cahoots idk

Princess Emily

@deerleisure

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 4:41 PM

actually, if the alien also gets in, we'd have at least 3 western legends. :la

Riv’s thoughts on the gang (proposed)

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 6:25 PM

Manako: her compulsion to clean things makes her fun to mess with

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 6:25 PM

It’s hilarious to sprinkle some dirt around the shrine in weird places and watch her go berserk

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 6:26 PM

Anzu: she seems nice. Once she left out a bowl of tangerines, which was obviously meant as a gift

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 6:27 PM

It’s too bad someone took her OTHER tangerines that she was looking for later

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 6:28 PM

Alien: what do you MEAN she doesn’t believe in magic?

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 6:28 PM

What else doesn’t she believe in? Chairs?

Master Chieve

@Overbringer

Tue, Apr 18, 2023 6:29 PM

Manimu: she ate Riv’s last tangerine and she WILL have revenge!
