Elly Quest - Reaper in Red
« on: July 28, 2012, 08:05:57 PM »
Foreword:

Yep, the character I'm using for the next quest is one that never even appeared in Rumia Quest. Elly!

As Yuuka's guard, and the one who guards the boundary between Gensokyo and the Dream World, I feel Elly is a character that has hidden depth. Not to mention she does seem like an interesting character. I love characters without completely defined characters and hidden depth to GM, since that allows the players to help dictate their personalities to some extent.

---



> You are Elly. You don't have a second name. It's just Elly.

> You are currently at the same point you always are, guarding the gateway to the Dreamworld, and, specifically, Yuuka's Mansion. Not the one in the Garden of the Sun, her REAL mansion, and her real garden. The Garden of the Sun and it's mansion is nothing compared to Yuuka's true home. In fact, the Yuuka that stays in Gensokyo is nothing but a split of her, with a fragment of her power, the real Yuuka lives in the Dreamworld.

> Over to you

>What did Boss Yuuka have planned today?
>What did Boss Yuuka have planned for us today?

> You're not sure about the branch of her in Gensokyo, but Yuuka in the dreamworld usually does three things with her day, sleep, tend to flowers, and find some poor soul in the dreamworld to torture. Never the same person twice in three days, since she likes variety.. and them to heal. If she can't find anyone she gets you, and if she can't find anyone besides you twice in three days she gets depressed.

> Hopefully nothing. Hopefully she finds something to make scream. While Yuuka is your boss, you serve the whole dreamworld, as you guard the entrance to there. She doesn't actually see you that much, outside of her sadism.

> No, today is not a 'safe' day for you. However, it is surprisingly rare for her to have to resort to you. She's satsified even if her Gensokyo 'branch' gets someone to torture. The most dangerous time for you is winter, when there are less flowers to attract people to her. It's summer.

> "Who are you talking to, silly gatekeeper~" a voice says. You know who this voice belongs to, the pusedo guard of the Dreamworld, because she makes her home at the lake of blood, which must be crossed to reach the gate to the Dreamworld.

>Relationships
>Abilities
>Inventory

> Yuuka - Employer, Sadist, Tormenter

> Mugetsu and Gengetsu - You know of them, usually the dream world portal leads to Yuuka's dreamworld unless she specifically wants to be alone, in which case, since Yuuka is the only one who wants contact with outside [Due to her tenancies], the portal leads to a random dream dimension, usually Mugetsu and Gengetsu's.

> Kurumi: Annoying vampire that bugs you often. At least she's not a fairy.

> Abilities:

Flight
High Pain tolerance
Fast healing
Immunity to death by age
The ability to fling floor tiles without touching them.

However, your scythe has more notable abilities. The wood used to make it was taken from several apple trees, specifically, the original breed of apple, Malus Sieversii. One of these trees actually later turned Youkai, a rare, but far from unheard of, occurrence. This retrospectively effected your Scythe, making it magical. As such, your scythe is a precious treasure to you.

Inventory:

Your red outfit.

Your Semi-Youkai Scythe; Malus. Malus has the ability to have the handle change it's shape and size, although this is limited to double or half it's original mass, and it cannot be made thin enough so it cannot hold the weight of the blade, or else it would snap [So no millimetre thick massive length scythes]. The scythe's shapeshifting responds to your will. This allows you to use your scythe to bypass defenses by changing direction suddenly, even at 90 degree angles or more. Your most common use is using the shapeshifting to change the aerodynamics, allowing you throw Malus like a boomerang.

An apple in your pocket.

> "Nah, I just get bored. Not many people go near a lake of blood. Kinda a bad omen. You may be a no-freinds masochist but you're at least fun to annoy." the vampire comments.

PC-98 character. *Does not approve* Mainly beacues I've never played the pre-Windows games and have very little knowledge of their casts, though. But whatever.

>Why do we continue to serve Yuuka?
>For that matter, why did we start?

[Oh come on, Rumia might as well be PC-98 with how little recognition she's got compared to the other EoSD characters. You'll grow to like Elly I hope.]

> You began, and continue, to serve Yuuka because she effectively saved your life when you decided to leave the service of the Yamas. You used to be a Shinigami-in-training, but you disliked the job of harvesting souls for judgement, and hunting down hermits and celestials. However, once you are in the service of the Yamas, and been in their realm, it is not easy to leave.

> That and you hated the stuck-up Yamas. Shikieiki's lectures in particular. The nature of the dreamworld stops the Yamas from interfering, as the dreamworld is a realm not captivated by life and death's cycle, so it is the one place where you are confident you are safe. You'd choose Yuuka over the Yamas anytime.

More Relationships Available:

Shikieiki Yamaxandu: Indirect Enemy; head of the Yamas, who you went into Yuuka's service to escape from since you disliked the Shinigami role and the Yama's attitudes.

Komachi Onozuka: Old Aquintence. You were training under her. You two got on well.

> "Only if you're a masochist~" Kurumi says, flying off as she sticks her tongue out. She evidently has never had to sit through one of Shikieiki's lectures. Those are torture in their own right.

> You might find it hard to wish Shikieiki to lecture herself, or at least hard to have it succeed.

> The scythe bends so that it looks like the blade is nodding. Malus cannot talk, but it can twist to do some minor communication. You just will it to answer.

> "Ah, Elly~"you hear a voice say from the direction of the portal. You are pretty confident you know who this is, and it's not a good thing if you are right.

> Only a couple of times, to your memory. However, not within the last thirty years. Only the Miko and Witch, on the same day, were during this period.

> To be fair, they snuck in while she was asleep, and was far from fighting seriously, even in the second round. It's exceptionally rare for Yuuka to fight seriously, unless someone has actually made her particularly mad, normal mad just makes her hold back moroso than usual, so there's more left for her to torture afterwards, really mad is likely to lead to immediate atomisation. She wasn't mad at the Witch and Miko, she was just having some fun with them.

So, I've decided, you're on holiday. Go out into Gensokyo and do something. Learn about people who may come so you know what to expect, get into some fights, even if you try to avoid fights odds are you'll get into them anyway.  In my view, what point is there in a gatekeeper that's forgotten how to fight, and doesn't know who she's guarding the gate from?" Yuuka says with a tone that makes it sound like you have no choice.

> "Yes, go about this however you want to~. Cause trouble, stop trouble, just doing nothing will probably end up with someone wanting to fight you, it's Gensokyo after all. I don't mind how you do it, but you're too rusty, and besides what I've told you, you know nothing about the powers of others. First hand experience is a thousand times better than my explanations~" Yuuka says.

> When you meet someone in Gensokyo, you can recall Yuuka's information about them. Yuuka knows most citizens of Gensokyo somewhat, and, as the gatekeeper who can make use of the knowledge, tells you stuff about them. As a result, despite not meeting characters before, you do know a bit about them, such as their power, and overall fighting ability [Although everyone is different shades of weak to Yuuka]

> "Oh, you have no chance of becoming able to hold a candle even to my cutting in Gensokyo. However, not many can. I can count on one hand the number who can fight even the cutting which has a faction of my power." Yuuka says.

[You can go about this however you want, even cause an incident if you want to. Elly can be good, bad, neutral, or whatever. Different actions will obviously bring different encounters and attitudes to you.]

Main reason I have that cutting, so if I get bored I can use that to stir up trouble yet still have fun and have to be weary of losing."

> "I might be a bit obsessed with people's screams and flowers. Your point?" Yuuka says in reply.
