Characters you wish to see

[game2011]

Categorize the girls you wish to see in the future of the series according to species, ability, personality, and occupation.

Species
Robot: Ruukoto is lonely and also irrelevant nowadays, so we need a new robot.  Even a cyborg will do.
Golem
Giant: No, Suika doesn't count.
Based on any real-life reptile: Kanako isn't actually a snake, so she doesn't count.

Ability
No ideas at the moment...

Occupation
Ninja: This is Japan after all.

[Maple]

These are specifically for touhou

Species
Painting turned tsukumogami (see below)

Ability
Manipulation of images/art
Manipulation of precious objects (gems, rare metals, ceramics, etc)

Occupation
Painter
Fisher(wo)man (waggysaggy is going to experience a lot of lulz)
Mail(wo)man
Miner
Jeweler
Tailor (the one who makes all the fancy dresses)

Based on how touhou gives highly abstract abilities to people, i would like to go crazy with some lovecraftian being  :getdown: :getdown: :getdown:. Maybe these would be too much for 2hu.

Ability to change the number of dimensions of objects (make something go from 3d to 1d to 4d, etc. I need to read a lot about these so-called hypothetical 11 dimensions that are all the rage these days)
Ability to create objects that can't be perceived the same way by different people (so, s/he summons a weapon. Some see a sword, others an axe, others a staff...)
Ability to create objects that can't be grasped by people (s/he makes an attack and you literally won't know what hit you. Also creates new shapes/colors/...)
Ability to remove concepts (victory/defeat/awareness)

[game2011]

Added personality as well, and I think a character with split personality will be cool.

[TresserT]

I'd like to see a nurarihyon, and maybe a canon orochi.

Now I really want to see that mailwoman too.

[Damien]

Xi Wang Mu or Seioubo, that is all.

Queen Mother Goddess of Immortality, Personification of Yin, Owner of Kunlun Mountain, Taoist Deity & Grandmaster, owner of Immortality Peach, granted immortality to Chang'e. This woman is like combination of Yukari, Kanako, Eirin, and Miko. Surprised that she doesn't appear as the game progresses, considering her famous status among the main Orient culture.

[SirSlarty]

Snack food youkai.

That forgotten bag of Doritos might turn into a youkai in 100 years.

Huh, what? How could she be a combination of so many different people?
Eirin is pretty much the highest of the elder gods.
Yukari is a gap youkai.
Kanako is a normal god.
Miko is a saint.

[Raikaria]

Occupation
Ninja: This is Japan after all.

We already have ninjas. The Crow Tengu. While it's not their current occupation since it's peacetime back when they were more militant it's what the Crows basically were. Literally all Aya would have to do to be a ninja is switch from using her speed and stealth to take photographs to sticking a blade in people.

Especially with someone like Hatate being able to perform recon without even being in a location; or Momji's super-vision.

Indeed, the entire Tengu society right now is geared around information gathering. Which is a vital thing before any assassination.

[Damien]

Miko is a saint.

Not entirely in matter of species/race though. She will might be on par with Eirin as god's status in Chinese and Taoist lore (thus the title of Queen Mother of The West), as she's the one who gave Chang'e and her husband (Houyi) immortality. As might as well cunning as Yukari, as shown how she's manipulating Chinese Emperors since ancient times. She's also got a lot of worshipper, just like Kanako. As for Miko comparison, women of Chinese regard her as some kind of Female's Saint.

See the wikipedia entry for more clearer explanation of mine.

[Suspicious person]

Species : Kamikiri

Ability : manipulating hair length (instead of only cutting it)

Occupation : hair dresser

Settings : The heroines accidentaly found out who it is that was behind the constant change in their hairstyle. The little youkai got scared, thinking she'll get exterminated, but since her ability turned out pretty mundane and convenient, they let her go. Now you can find her in the human village, masquerading as a hair dresser and making a living out of the hair and money she gets there  :3

Otherwise, Satsuki Rin would be a fine alternative too.

[Marron]

I would like to see a girl who would have power with drawings, who could make her drawings a reality. Of course, there would be some extent to that power because otherwise, it would be too much. I wonder if I would go to the extent of making other people's drawings a reality ? In fact, I would like that char to be someone who likes to make people happy, so she would sometime go to the human village and make the children's drawing alive !

Species: Human

Ability: To make drawings a reality

Occupation: Draftsman

[Tengukami]

We already have ninjas. The Crow Tengu.

Sorry, is there a cite for this? Or are you just saying "they would functionally be good ninjas if they were assassins"?

[PK]

Species: Kirin
Ability: Healing and resurrecting magic (to some extent). Actual resurrection, not Seiga's zombie farm
Occupation: Healer (in the forest)
----------------------------------------------
Species: Great Tengu (we absolutely need to see one).
Ability: Transforming matter upon touch (like turning wood into steel).
----------------------------------------------
Species: Devil
Ability: Manipulating Good and Evil, like turning a good man into an asshole and viceversa, or forcing/preventing people in committing sins. I wonder what Shiki would think about this.
----------------------------------------------
Species: Angel
Ability: Neutralizing any special abilities. She would be a relatively weak character on her own, thus a fight with her would be won by the smartest and most skilled, not by the superpower-lottery winner. Basic traits like a youkai's strength and regeneration would remain, though.
Context: It would be interesting to have someone like this, causing an incident by making nearly everyone on the same level (however, normal humans would still have a very hard time confronting a youkai).
----------------------------------------------
Species: Demon (boogey-wo-man)
Ability: Manipulating "darkness, shadows and void".
Basically, is what i think Ex-Rumia would be if she was canon (or when she has lived long enough). She would be able to cut/destroy anything by creating void fields/black holes, using shadows to control whatever she wants or instantly teleport to any shadow source (it would mean controlling anything at will, and teleporting anywhere she wants, during the night or in dark places), and become intangible like Suika. Her darkness would not only absorb light, but also any other kind of energy (momentum, heat).
A cape, and a sword capable of capturing the victim's soul and of actually cutting objets by stabbing their shadows would be needed to complete her "too-cool-for-you" appearance.

Generally, i'd like to see more european-based characters, like the four horsemen of Apocalypse, or an actual western witch with more witch-like spells than Marisa's magic (turning people into frogs, love/hate potions, seeing the future, casting curses, and so on), and obviously Gensokyo's version of Jesus and Satan (but maybe they would be too much to have as bosses, one being the son/daughter of an omnipotent god and the other one among its best creations).
Ancient european mythology is cool too.

Koakuma.

[PK]

Koakuma doesn't count. I like how she gets depicted, but she doesn't even have an actual profile/ability/reason to exist. Besides, i want to see an actual full-powered devil, not a "far weaker one" without dialogues.

How about her ?

It's a fangame character so dunno if you'll count her, though  :V

[PK]

Yeah, that's more like it. Her slightly darker skin is cute

[ChronaSE]

I'm kinda interested to see more western demons and greek mythological creatures like Medusas, Minotaurs and such, but I guess that wouldn't be touhou-like.

[Starxsword]

See the wikipedia entry for more clearer explanation of mine.

I know who you are talking about. I know about this stuff culturally from being chinese.

As might as well cunning as Yukari, as shown how she's manipulating Chinese Emperors since ancient times.

I never noticed that she was cunning, but hey, there are different variations of stories.
That said, Eirin is as cunning as Yukari, if not more so. Yuyuko is sharper than Yukari. I don't quite understand how Yukari fits this.

Miko is viewed as a saint, but that is as far as the comparison goes. Miko uses religion as a weapon, not something that character would do.

The best comparison would be to Eirin, the others don't make much sense. Their personalities are nothing like hers. Eirin is most likely a god and helps people out with medicine.

Besides, i want to see an actual full-powered devil, not a "far weaker one" without dialogues

And what makes you think she isn't a full powered devil? I don't believe there is any lore that says anything on this.


I would like to see some greek myth or norse myth characters. Like an Athena or Thor. With Thor, there could be some interactions with Remilia.

[PK]

And what makes you think she isn't a full powered devil? I don't believe there is any lore that says anything on this.

Koakuma's page on the wiki lists some things ZUN said about her. Her being far weaker than other devils is one of those things.

[Abraham Lincoln]

Snack food youkai.

That forgotten bag of Doritos might turn into a youkai in 100 years.

...and Voila! We have our own 2hu Bill Cipher!



I want a 2hu in a minuteman-inspired outfit.

[Starxsword]

Koakuma's page on the wiki lists some things ZUN said about her. Her being far weaker than other devils is one of those things.

You are correct. I looked at it and it does mention that Koakuma is weaker than Akuma (Devil).
Don't know why the wiki added far weaker, since I am not seeing it in the Japanese text.

[Omicriel]

Species:
Djinn: It's not too much of a stretch and the powerset - granting wishes - is fairly obvious.
Kitsune: Still not represented, as Satsuki Rin is non-canon by all but the most forgiving definitions.
Goryō: A type of vengeful spirit that isn't in the series right now - the current vengeful spirits are all onryō, and are not characters (barring Mima and loosely Soga no Tojiko).

Not sure otherwise. This field is hard.

[Fastest Thing Alive]

Kitsune: Still not represented, as Satsuki Rin is non-canon by all but the most forgiving definitions.

Do you mean Kirin? Because Ran's a kitsune.

[GuardianTempest]

Species:Human (Village)

Ability: Nothing special

Personality: Bland

Occupation: Village guard, that's it


Species:Human (Village)

Ability: Becomes tougher when humans are fighting alongside him.

Personality: Undecided

Occupation: Champion of the Parish Village

Plot: Wants to rally the human population (and some cooperating youkai) to take back the night, furious mob-style.


Species:Human (Prehistoric)

Ability: Primitive magic and capability for adapting to circumstances.

Personality: Brutish but wise, knowledgeable in superstition ("Fire tames wild!"). Apparently has difficulty interacting with the more civilized folks due to difficulty with language.

Occupation: Survivalist experienced in primitive yet effective methods. The equivalent of Mokou for the Youkai Mountain with less fire and more brute force.


Species:Human (Outsider)

Ability:Create constructs out of sheer belief

Personality: Strongly believes in harmony, justice and hope. Carries unshakable faith in an off-realm deity, which brings friction with the existing factions.

Occupation: Missionary//Paladin


Why yes, I have been inspired by Innistrad. Wow, that's like half a game's worth of characters already.

[Abraham Lincoln]

I hope you don't mind me putting my OC up here.



Species: Ghost/vengeful spirit/what have you

Abilities: Ability to influence people to betray others

Occupation: Ex-United States Continental army general and ex-British army general. Is currently unemployed because the Revolutionary War has long since been put to an end.

Personality: Rather lost and unfamiliar with her own powers since she's a newcomer to the mystical land of Gensokyo. A bit shy. Feels great levels of guilt over her crimes in the past life and is looking to correct her bad reputation in the outside world for good.

[Failure McFailFace]

Damn, that's some great OC artwork.

I'm guessing Benedict Arnold

[Abraham Lincoln]

I'm guessing Benedict Arnold

Yes, yes it is!

On a slightly related note, this is Beethoven.

She's a zashiki-warashi. I'm willing to put money on that you were not expecting her to be one.

[OtakuGray]

I'd like to see Hanako-san make an "official" appearance. She was *technically* in Double Spoiler, but I'd like to actually see her in appear in the Touhou-verse as a legit character. Too bad she's prob too popular in the Real World...She'd probably be like a celebrity in Gensokyo...

I think ZUN could draw her in a unique way, although again, she kind of already has an "official" design, but I'd like to see how he would play off that. Maybe she could show up in the Manga or something...


Species: Youkai, although a lot of people mistake her for a Yurei because of her nature.

Personality: Shy at first, but once you get to know her, she becomes very loud-mouthy and demands things of you. She seems spoiled. The human village spreads rumors about her, so everyone knows who she is. Marisa claims to know all about her, but when asked about it more she declines to answer and avoids any further questions about it. Some think that she got spooked by Hanako at one point. She is sometimes jokingly made fun of behind her back and called the "constipated ghost" but it is unknown if she knows people call her this.

Abilities: Seems to be able to teleport, but really she's just able to turn invisible for periods of time. If she's invisible, she will respond if her name is called 3 times consecutively.

Occupation: Nobody knows but she seems to haunt the bathrooms in various locations around Gensokyo. Reimu tried to get her to cooperate and unclog some of the toilets around town, but it didn't work simply because Hanako was the reason behind the toilets clogging in the first place.

Oh, and Abraham, I love your OC designs! :3
