The Wonderous Magical Triumvirate of Gensokyo [Touhou Project/Multiversal RP]

(1/6) > >>

Terran Imperium: The Wonderous Magical Triumvirate of Gensokyo IC Thread(TBD) Patchouli's thirst for knowledge knows no bound, not even the boundaries of the World itself, let alone Gensokyo's can stop her if she put her mind to it and she did. The Voile Library already contains tablets from the ancient Sumerian civilization when Humanity was united under one banner, the papyrus writings of Ancient China on the mystical arts, the tablets of Ancient Greece, the Persian Empire, the Macedonian Empire, the Roman Empire, the Witch-Queen Nitocris's own personal notes and even to the Middle Ages with Merlin, Vivian, and the Renaissance with the work of Paracelsus, Lavoisier, Faust. Needless to say that Patchouli's library was immense and to the mere mortals; nearly infinite. She had originally hoped that Gensokyo, the Eastern Wonderland which fascinated her friend Remilia so much would have something more to offer but that proved to be false. In fact, it was a source of headache more often than not. Still, it had allowed her to make the acquaintance of the Seven-Colored Puppeteer Alice Margatroid and the self-proclaimed Ordinary Magician Marisa Kirisame. The two of them took an interest in Patchouli's new pet project. Each had their own interest in it, for Patchouli it was a new source of knowledge, for Alice it was a way for her to find a solution to her own pet project; a sentient doll, and for Marisa... She was in it for the fun and the merry adventures it brings by consequence. With the explicit permission and supervision of the Grand Sage's servant Ran Yakumo; the spell who would breach the dimensional barrier would not damage the Hakurei Barrier. What is this? This is a PbP roleplaying game featuring the following characters; Patchouli Knowledge, Alice Margatroid, Marisa Kirisame. This RP will have a total of three players, each taking the role of the aforementioned characters. Each of the characters has a reason or another to undertake this magical adventure across dimensions, they were mentioned in the above introductory paragraphs. I do not have a first come, first served policy, I will pick out what I think is the best interpretation of the character. Below, you will find a Character Sheet template which you need to fill out within mind one of the three characters.   Character Details "The books here are worth all the donations to your shrine for the past five years!" "Let's see, 'How to passively defeat the person in black in front of you'..." Patchouli Knowledge nicknamed the One-Week Witch and the Great Unmoving Library, she is a natural-born Magician and even among Magicians, she is particularly great with a great well of magic which, unfortunately, she cannot use due to her poor health. A result of her well of magic so great her physical body can barely support it and her many mystical experiments did nothing to improve that. That doesn't change the fact that Patchouli is admittedly the strongest Witch and Magician in Gensokyo and possibly the Outside World as well. She is quite ruthless, pragmatical and uncaring of Humans and anything outside the Scarlet Mansion, her emotions are dulled and she does not often show them. In this interpretation of Patchouli, she is 600 years old, she came into being during the 15th century and spent most of her life studying and practicing magic. Even her encounter and friendship with the Scarlet Sisters did not change that. Patchouli uses an ancient Chinese Magic System; utilizing the Wu Xin, the five phases of the world which represents many natural and magical phenomena in the world with the addition of two other phases. Fire (火) Tuesday: Change and movement. Fire assists earth and inhibits metal. Fire's ashes pile up to create Earth, but it melts Metal. Water (水) Wednesday: Silence and purification. Water assists wood and inhibits fire. Water nourishes Wood, but it extinguishes Fire. Wood (木) Thursday: Life and awakening. Wood assists fire and inhibit the Earth. Wood feeds Fire, but it absorbs away Water and nutrients from the Earth. Metal (金) Friday: Wealth and abundance. Metal assists Water and inhibits Wood. Metal gives forth Water by condensation, but it tears up the roots of trees. Earth (土) Saturday: Foundation and immobility. Earth assists Metal and inhibits Water. Earth contains Metal, but it absorbs Water. Sun (日) Sunday: Activity and offense. Moon (月) Monday: Passivity and defense. Each phase also represents a day of the week and so on that specific day, that phase is strengthened while the opposite phase is weakened. This is one of the strongest magic possible, Patchouli can make anything out of magic, her powers of creation only ending where her understanding and knowledge of the universe ends. Patchouli can make diamond, gold under the Earth phase or even create life which is significantly more complex as it needs the cooperation of several phases. Patchouli's strongest offensive spell; the Philosopher's Stone in which Patchouli uses all phases and creates a true Philosopher's Stone through all the phases to enhance her elemental attacks even further. "My life is way shorter than yours anyway so can't you just take back everythin' after I kick the bucket? I'm just borrowin' them until then. It should be good for the stuff I'm taking that way, too." "Whoa, so many books. I'll just 'borrow' some later." Marisa Kirisame self-proclaimed Ordinary Magician is rather famous or more like infamous in Gensokyo for striking up a lot of trouble and solving some of them. She is the only Human in the group, Patchouli, and Alice both being Magicians. Marisa for all intent and purposes is a mere Human with no special abilities unlike Reimu and so she tries her hardest to make up for it through magic. Marisa's quest for self-improvement knows no limits as her determination never wavers. In the group, she is only second to Patchouli in term of magical power. She is fearless and always confident as well since she speaks in a roguish street language with everyone even Gods. Marisa uses a Western Magical System of unspecified origin, it is, in fact, an unholy mix of different Western Magical Systems which Marisa studied from her honored teacher, Mima and from the books she 'borrows' from Patchouli. Marisa is widely known for this kind of behavior, she copies her enemies and their moves, taking the best out of their abilities and implementing it in her 'original' Magical System. Marisa's Grimoire details the abilities of all opponents she ever encountered with her own personal comment on each of them. Marisa has a certain object given to her by Rinnosuke, a mini-Eight Trigram Furnace or mini-Elemental Furnace which is a highly important and powerful magical item capable of destroying mountains which Marisa uses to heat up her bath from time to time. Marisa specializes in Light and Heat Magic, her Magic System has few weaknesses and massive firepower but few non-destructive uses. The majority of her spells rely on power over finesse and are themed after stars and other astronomical phenomena which is an inspiration from her teacher and former master Mima. Through trial and error, she finds a pattern from which magical materials come forth. Success or failure, she records the details of each experiment making her an exceptional Alchemist. "The strings that attach the body and soul are the same as the ones that control dolls." "If someone like you fights with full power... I'll feel bad for the dolls." Alice Margatroid also nicknamed the Seven-Colored Puppeteer or the Seven Colored Witch, she is a Human who ascended and became a Magician, it is the final step a magical practitioner can make in which they are immortal and no longer need sleep, food or other basic necessities. Alice's ascension is still quite recent and so she is still used to sleeping and eating despite not needing so like Patchouli, she indulges in food for the sake of pleasure and relaxation. Alice is also the daughter of a Goddess, the Creator of Makai. Alice's magic specializes in using puppets, more specifically dolls in a strategical manner to fight or to do various things. She has a surprising fighting spirit in which Alice always only uses a strength only slightly above that of her opponent to make things exciting. Alice often relies on her opponent subsequently underestimating her and rather viciously scales her strength to that of her opponent, if they escalate she will as well. That is why more often than not Alice is considered the 'weakest' of the three when that is not true, she would be only second to Patchouli but Alice has no incentives in correcting them of that. Alice has two types of dolls; Tier 2 dolls which are semi-automatic capable of doing pre-programmed actions to the letter perfectly, they possess a small magical battery that keeps active but they will eventually fall dead if they are not resupplied by Alice, and Tier 3 dolls which are directly controlled by her through her spirit and they are the ones she most often uses during her fights. There is Tier 1 which is a fully sapient and independent doll but she has yet to create such a doll. Alice possesses a certain unique ability of hers, not related to her magical powers or her ascension as a Magician. Alice can see through illusions and more, she had figured out Keine's true form and saw invisible rays of light coming down from the full moon, she could also see that Mokou was not truly alive. Finally, Alice has one last trump card which is also the reason as to why she was nicknamed the Seven-Colored Witch. Like Marisa, Alice has a Grimoire of her own, one she made herself which possesses the ultimate type of Magic when she uses it she shines in the seven colors of the rainbow. None one is quite sure as to what it can do or what it is capable of but what is sure is that when Alice resorts to it, then she will show her true full power. She often hints at it and Patchouli hypothesizes it is some highly advanced form of Light Magic. Character Sheet Template Name: Personality: Brief backstory: (A few examples: Patchouli's birthplace, her encounter with the Scarlet sisters. For Alice, the reason she left Makai and her mother Shinki. For Marisa, the reason as to why she cut off all links with her parents, bonus fact; canonically, she nearly drowned once in her childhood.) Motive: (Why is your character participating/initiating this project? Apart from the reasons stated above, you can add a few of your own if they make sense but it is not mandatory. As a reminder, all three characters helped in the success of the project. Patchouli was the main driving force but it would have definitely taken her longer to achieve it without the help of the two others.) Quotes: (No official quotes here, just a few handmade ones by you, the minimum is one at least. This is basically a preview on how you're going to roleplay as one of the three characters.) GM Note: The Touhou fanart spam threads on 4chan were a guilty pleasure of mine. A fanart of the character along with your sheet wouldn't really influence my decision in the end... not at all. Jokes aside, all three characters look around their twenties physically. Patchouli is obviously not of that age mentally but the other two are of the age they seem like which is around 19 to 24. Also, hello all. I am new to this forum and I hope to have a nice time here. Originally, I've posted this RP on two other forums but since the Touhou fandom isn't as popular there, I was left in the dust. I am not quite sure why that is, maybe they don't like having pre-set characters to play or maybe the plot/concept isn't as interesting. So here I am hoping I'll have some more luck over here, I think there isn't any better place than a dedicated forum to Touhou. To keep track of the threads of this RP, check out my profile. Once applications are done and I pick the three chosen players, I'll create another new exclusive thread (the In-Character Thread) in which the story would happen and where the three players can roleplay their characters. As a Game Master, I will be the one writing any character that isn't yours. They are basically NPCs while your characters are PCs. That is all. Thank you.

Mr.Ownage: //Ooh, an RP in the style of past large-scale games. I thought I wouldn't see that style of RP revitalized anytime soon, and yet, here it is! Sweet! To sign up, we basically need to write the personality, backstory and motivation of the character we'd like to play as depending on how we see them? About the latter as well, is the mentioned project also up to choice in Patchouli's case? (what I mean is, if the exact project is determined by the players). In Alice's case, it is mentioned, but unless I missed something, it doesn't seem that way regarding Patchy. At the same time, welcome to MotK! :)  While I haven't been around for long, I can definitely say that the community is very nice, supportive and willing to help if need to be. I'll be hoping that you'll have a great time here, and I'm also looking forward to seeing how this RP will go!

I've given you some basic information and it's up to you from that to how you want to write the character and interpret them in the personality/backstory/motivation categories. Patchouli's project right now is the plot device used and the one mentioned in the introduction. She's basically studying how to make portals from one reality to another and with the help of the other two, she succeeded. Thank you!

Mr.Ownage: //Admittedly, I'm not that good at writing backstories and such for established characters (mainly since their original stories is what comes to mind first, and that it feels way easier to come up with such for OCs), but I'll give it a shot as well as I can. This is certainly something I wouldn't want to miss! Just for the sake of not messing something up, is it okay to post the completed sheet here, or it should be DM'd instead? And by "pet" project, would it be "actual" pets (not necessarily only real pets, but animal-like lifeforms, Orin comes to mind, for example) , or would something like an otherworldly familiar or a creature of legends also pass? These questions might seem mind-numbing, but I felt like it'd be better to ask than do something wrong.

The pet project, it's metaphorical. It doesn't necessarily involve a creature magical or otherwise that would be a pet. Patchy's 'pet project' here was about creating portals to other dimensions but if you want her to have some other project, sure, you'll have to mention it in the backstory. I would advise to keep it reasonable and nothing outlandish, you mentioned creatures of legends, so maybe a phoenix or something. What I mean by outlandish as an example: a dragon? That's a big no. I mean, Patchy could but why would she? And even if she did, would she keep it to go on adventures with her? I doubt it. This thread is where you post the completed sheets, yes. This thread's entire purpose is for the applications(char sheets) and for any questions you might have.
