Title: Headcanon Powers of PC-98 Characters or Characters With No Canon Powers.
Post by: Evil_Nazgul0616 on September 23, 2016, 05:43:14 PM
I felt like sharing some silly headcanons of mine regarding the powers/abilities of characters (Mostly from the PC-98 era) that have no specific powers stated.
Please note, that these are HEADCANONS, and therefore will likely NOT agree with your views. If you are not okay with this then by all means ignore this thread.


Rengeteki - Ability to partially phase objects out of reality. It does not work on large objects, or people (without disastrous consequences).
Kikuri - Manipulation of Light, essentially the opposite of Rumia's power. She can also consume light. The bronze disc she is trapped in suppresses most of her abilities, but not to the same extent as Rumia's amulet.
Demon Mirror Midboss - Ability to reflect and amplify the darkness in people's hearts.
Angel Mirror Midboss - Ability to reflect and amplify the purity in people's hearts.
Meira - Has no abilities of her own, but her sword can eat darkness and then she can tap into that stored power to create danmaku with her sword.
SinGyoku - Manipulation of balance and harmony.
YuugenMagan - Manipulation of energy.
Konngara - Doesn't have an ability. She's just a badass.
Layla Prismriver - Ability to command any instrument with a conductor's baton. The same baton can also control the poltergeists, but she almost never used it on them before she passed on.
Rin Satsuki - Can heal any injury by playing her erhu. Requires that the patient can actually hear the music.

Feel free to share your own.

She could go up against Youmu or Youki in a sword fight and possibly win.

Actually, Daiyousei has a canon power. Believe it or not.

She can teleport. She does it in her midboss battle in EoSD. (https://youtu.be/ER18EGFUydU?t=43s)


Also interesting ability for Rin Satsuki there.

Who in the world is Unsou?

Elly has telekinetic control over floor tiles and panels.  Yes, floors tiles and panels, ONLY.  She throws them around when you fight her, so why not?

Her actual power are actually really just converting floor tiles into subordinates.

Shinki - ability to create miniature worlds. She can create larger worlds, like Makai, but they are unstable without outside help.
Sariel - directs the dead to the afterlife. Basically Makai's equivalent of an enma, since there isn't (I assume) one in place.
YuugenMagan - can control any familiar-type creature, regardless of its power and temperament. Also a generally powerful magician.
Louise - able to blend into any crowd. Allows her to seamlessly integrate with humans even if she sometimes acts more like a youkai.
Koakuma - as Patchouli's familiar, she can learn her master's magics much faster than any regular student.
Rikako - has an innate understanding of technology, on the level of a kappa.
Kongala - regardless of whether she's an oni, she has the supernatural strength of one. Can channel hellish energy through her weapons.

With a body seemingly made of electricity, I simply expect her to have electric powers.

Actually, I think I've seen other fairies teleport in a similar way as well.
Lily's done it before in Perfect Cherry Blossom... (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha1NqUx22KM&feature=youtu.be&t=2m)
Maybe that's why they're together in Great Fairy Wars later...

I imagine Rika can probably reverse engineer anything she chooses or modify anything mechanical to suit her liking. I would also assume if computers ever became a thing in Gensokyo, she'd be the most world renown hacker.
