Alright, time to throw my cards on the table and bring one up that I have in the works but haven't posted anywhere. I actually wrote up a description of it earlier for myself, and here is "The reaper of Gensokyo"
The Reaper of Gensokyo-
"After a Celestial vaporizes the current reaper shingami of Gensokyo and makes the shingami no longer able to do its duties, The Afterlife decides a replacement must be called in to reap the lost souls of Gensokyo. And thus, the boy Liam Alibus is tasked as that replacement. A young trainee Shingami with only 14 years as a mortal and rest in shingami training is thrusted into Komachi and Shikieiki?s care and sent to reap Gensokyo?s lost and unwilling souls.
A cute young boy in Gensokyo. This can?t end well."
To quote, "A male Touhou OC, heaven help me". The story originally came to mind when I thought about how there's reaper shingami and ferrymen shingami, it seems Komachi is Genskoyo's ferryman, and Eiki's Gensokyo's judge, so I thought to myself "Shouldn't there be a reaper of gensokyo" and the story started to come up in my head.
Liam isn't all too powerful, and well, reminds me of Kourin's role in Touhou. Somewhat important, but not enough to appear in the games. He'll start at the bottom, and eventually (past this story) reach stage 4 tier.
Liam's role is to be a audience surrogate, to ease and introduce people to the crazy world of Gensokyo and it's residents, and introduce people to my version of gensokyo.
The viewpoint of the story does jump around from character to character (for example, chapter 1's viewpoint is Eiki, 2's is Liam, 3's is Komachi, 4's is Wiggle) in a bit of a round robin, but the focus will usually be on Liam's story of him adjusting and getting use to Gensokyo and being a shingami (as well as wondering if he's cut out for the shingami cloth)
Storywise, this would take place a few years before the first game even begins, and while the story is Liam's coming of age story, it's also a epilouge to what happened to the previous generation of incident solvers (or mostly, why they aren't active anymore), as well as foreshadow things for all the later stories I want to tell in this fan-verse.
