Species: Tiger Youkai
Ability: Manipulation of clouds
Age: 460,600 years old
Occupation: Model
Location: Makai

Story: Mario, despite her name, is one of the sexiest youkai in Makai. So sexy is she, in fact, that most enemies cannot even look directly at her, lest they be paralyzed by her beauty. This is when she normally attacks. She wears a blue sequin evening gown and a silver tiara. Her weakness is flattery - use it convincingly, and she might go easy on you.

This is better than i could have imagined.

bigyihsuan! Here is your OC!
Name: Ash
Character Title: Pedantic Sprite of Gensokyo
Species: Fairy
Ability: Manipulation of Small Gusts
Age: 1,951,200 years old
Occupation: Engineer
Location: Forest of Magic
Game Appearance: Stage 3 Boss
Story: Ash is an engineering fairy - she takes apart and re-assembles tech that the kappas can find no use for, and tries to make something useful out of it. Results are a mixed bag. Enjoys eating and drinking, but is also especially fond of badminton, though no one knows where she learned it or why. She wears a pink gown, and likes to use her ability to blow the hats off of the heads of other Gensokyans, which she finds absolutely hilarious. Knows the lyrics to every song by Judas Priest.

The location and species are as you say

The name is based on question 4.

The "of X" part ot the title comes from your response in 5.

The ability is based on question 6.

Age is apparently your user ID here on the forums times 100.

Occupation is possibly related to 1b.

Game appearance is possibly random.

The Story is based on your occupation, and a bunch of random bits.

[Yookie]

The name is based on question 4.

Name is also based on your favorite Anime director.

Another thing:
I said I would draw my OC and so I did.

[qMyon]

I hope I'm not too late to the party -  :ohdear:

3. I find the discovery of the Rosetta Stone to be considerably lucky.
4. On the list I'm listening to right now, Rain by SID
5. Sounds like Japan to me.
6. Okay, I practice Iaido. Or, I did, and will start again once I can get my equipment shipped to me.

I await your offering of words, kind Tengu.

[Tengukami]

Hey everyone. Due to an incident happening in the Forest of Magic, the Bunbunmaru is going to hold off on the final batch for no later than a week. Sorry to keep you all hanging! This means that our gifting has come to a close - we cannot accept any more requests, but we really appreciate your enthusiasm. Warm thanks to all who participated!

Now, to reveal the methodology. Some of your guesses were pretty interesting, but in fairness, there's a couple methods that none of you would have been able to guess or figure out. So let's begin.

Name: Combination of your favorite anime director and the next song on your playlist. Some of you lacked sufficient power levels to have a favorite anime director, or had low power levels that reached for the same director several times, so we had to make do with whatever the song title or artist was.
Character Title: Your adjective describing the discovery of the Rosetta Stone, a synonym for your species, and your name for the magical land you woke up in. Our tengu staff were perplexed by how complicated the word "adjective" apparently was, as some of you opted to expound on the history of the Rosetta Stone. Adjectives are not hard, humans!
Species: As you chose it.
If you chose ZUNtastic Youkai: The first name of your favorite scientist was whisked away by tengu to the magical land of Google Image Search, along with the words "Bronx Zoo". The first animal to appear in the results was your ZUNtastic Youkai Species!
Ability: That would be the wildcard. As many of you chose the weather option over the physical activity (why ever could that be!), we had to get a little creative with this. Liberties were taken.
Age: Profile number x 100, as revealed earlier.
Occupation: This was where "a thing in your room" and "a number from 1 to 20" came into play. Whatever the thing was, we searched for this thing in the Jobs section of the London Craigslist. Then we counted the number of entries, from top to bottom, stopping on the number you gave. Now, the shopkeeper is the one who told me about Craigslist, as he once suggested I, of all people, visit this "web sight" to look for a new camera. So we didn't expect how many of the "jobs" advertised were of a ... less than savory nature. We had to take some pretty flexible interpretations of these jobs in order to assign you an occupation, to say the least!
Location: As you chose it.
Game Appearance: Random 1d18 dice roll.
Story: Compiling all this data together, a pattern would emerge to form a cohesive whole. A backstory would arise from this seemingly chaotic and disparate collection of points to create a fully formed OC, with the help of tengu magic.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this special reader participation feature of ours. The final batch will be posted in no more than a week's time. Fortunately, once people return to this thread and read it in one go, it will all look seamless and evenly spaced, as if there were no delays whatsoever. How lucky for us!

Thanks again for participating, every single one of you. You're all pretty nice folks - for humans!

CAW! CAW!

[CyberAngel]

Had a strong hunch about occupation since some of them made sense in relation to objects named, but at the same time some of them were pretty wildly out there, so I wasn't entirely sure. Well, the writeups were nice and creative, so great job!

Huh, I was right.

[Tengukami]

Mostly right, anyway; some things you just couldn't have known, which we took into account. We nonetheless put a gold star next to your name in the Bunbunmaru records!

[Colticide]

Eh mine would have been dumb anyway with my odd choices, but thank for the opportunity anyway!

[Tengukami]

Everyone who posted between the last batch and the reveal will get OCs, rest assured. We just can't afford to make any more on our shoestring budget. Such is life on Mt. Youkai.

[Mr Jovial]

Occupation: This was where "a thing in your room" and "a number from 1 to 20" came into play. Whatever the thing was, we searched for this thing in the Jobs section of the London Craigslist.

Wait what, I posted myself as the thing in my room. How did that work :V

[Tengukami]

Wait what, I posted myself as the thing in my room. How did that work :V

Rather than being bothered to ask you to choose anything but yourself, we searched for "boy" (I mean, you are going be Mr., after all).

Needless to say we had to do some serious reworking to come up with a worksafe Occupation from the results we found.

[Rei Scarlette]

Now, to reveal the methodology. Some of your guesses were pretty interesting, but in fairness, there's a couple methods that none of you would have been able to guess or figure out. So let's begin.
-snip-

Ah, I see, interesting! I was trying to guess at it as well, but I didn't come to any full list that looked quite close enough. I did assume a few things that were correct, but as you say, some things certainly couldn't be guessed. This is what I figured, anyways;

Name: Tsukiyo (月夜に舞う想い)
Character Title: Incredible Woman of Soft Grass (Incredible(y helpful), A field of soft grass, under a blue sky.)
Species: Human (chosen)
Age: 1,163,300 years old (revealed) (I'm so old :V)
Location: Misty Lake (chosen)

I say again I am quite happy with the results, and the methods used to create them. Thanks for taking the time to do all of these!

[Esper]

EDIT: I'm just gonna not bother yet with making my own OC. I was trying to but eventually it just kinda crumbled because I couldn't think of a good story or ability.

Also, I had the idea of making the equation for age be AGE = (5(ID)^{IRL age divided by multiple of ten so that 1<X<2})^0.5 to make the age function less obnoxiously high. I mean, it's pretty much only gods that are estimatable above ten thousand years.

The ^0.5 is basically just a square root function for those that don't know, but I don't feel like trying to make a radical.

My age would be ( ( (5)(5221) )^1.6 )^0.5 which would be 3,415 years. It looks like it's random, yet actually has a formula behind it. It's not like you're shouting a random number to sound cool; you're making a formula for a viable age that sounds cool.
