Gappy:
Name: Mitaka
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Strength: Foolishly simple one-track mind (can be a weakness at times), rather stupid courage, quick wit, some semblance of intelligence, perseverance, is a surprisingly good cook.
Weakness: Blindness (lost use of his eyes in a recent mission), Foolishly simple one-track mind (can be a strength at times), average human mana supply (relative to the other players, which puts him at an extreme disadvantage), intolerance to spicy food, fear of heights, fear of the dark
Home: Saniwa Shrine/Inn
Occupation: Staff member of the Saniwa Shrine/inn. Is slated to be one of its cooks.
Visual Description: Simple, open expression on a face with sharp, well-defined features. Black hair, brown eyes, fair skin, a rather large nose. Thin and wiry, product of typical British education and upbringing.
Personality: Simple, naive. A little laid-back. Lacks personal ambition. Fiercely passionate about helping others. Couldn't stand still when people are suffering before him. Has something that can pass for intelligence under casual observation, but not exactly good with reading situations and reading between the lines. Can make up plans on the fly, however. Can be painfully sarcastic at times.
Partners: Reimu, Suika, Ruukoto, Marisa, Alice
History/Background: (for the purposes of this story, since I somehow started with a Japanese name) A former Japanese expatriate who was raised in Britain. He had returned to Japan for what he thought was going to be a brief holiday during his gap-year. However, he ended up straying into Gensokyo with a number of other outsider adventurers after getting involved with them in a drinking game (he doesn't even drink normally). In Gensokyo he found himself lost and alone in the forest of Magic. Stumbled around for 2 weeks, narrowly escaping becoming youkai food a good few times. He was finally rescued by Reimu when he was on the verge of becoming spider food alongside Cirno and Rumia (who head tried to rescue from the spider's web). Reimu offered him shelter for a while and they quickly became good friends. Through her he became friends with a good few other Gensokyo inhabitants, including Suika, Ruukoto, Mima, Alice, and Marisa.
Fun Facts (optional):
- Is nicknamed 'Taka-kun' by Reimu.
- Is nicknamed 'Deodorant' by Jeremy Nezu, product of a pseudo acid-trip he had after initializing his contract with Yukari. Probably a play on the Armpit joke.
- Reimu is nicknamed 'Armpits' by the very same Jeremy. Probably good to note.
- His team has been nicknamed team FUBAR (F'ed Up Beyond All Repair) over the fact that his team's the weakest of the lot, thanks to his average human mana supply being split 6 ways.
- He has a cat/mouse relationship with Gpop and has taken to calling him 'Lollipop' in retaliation to his calling him 'Deodorant'.
Relationships:
- Is very good friends with Reimu, Ruukoto, and Suika.
- Quite friendly with Marisa. Their friendship had barely started but it's snowballing nicely.
- A little at odds with Alice, but they've struck a chord of cooperation at the very least.
- There is tension between him and Gpop at the moment, mostly due to a slight turn on Mitaka's part. He will apologize at some point though and attempt to patch up the issue.
- Gets along well with Jeremy (who seems to pity him somewhat). Is on speaking terms with Yukari but not exactly friends. Yukari seems to harbour some deep-seated resentment towards him for reasons he does not quite understand.
- Has started to become good friends with Taihou who has agreed to assist him with the shrine. Sakuya seems rather cool towards him though, or perhaps she's just that way with everyone.
- Is starting to understand the enigma that is Amarillo. Friendship may blossom. Doesn't know Lily that well yet.
- He believes Owlbear is a real demonic overlord. He feels a little uncomfortable around Shinki, mostly due to the fact that he's current contracted to her daughter (and failing miserably at mana provision).
- Hasn't spoken much to Hiroko or Parsee, really. But he still remembers that they helped him out of a hole back in Gensokyo. He admires them for their bravery in volunteering for the suicide mission onboard the Sky-Ray.
- Hasn't spoken much to Sumire or Aya either, but he has great respect for their information gathering skills.
- Hasn't spoken much to Sho, but he is somewhat impressed by his ability to manage Yuyuko's appetite.
- He is awed by ThirtyFour. They say men judge each other by their rides. A Challenger 2, Britain's pride and joy, is enough to impress any Englishman...or scare them into submission...He's a little scared of Rika and has worked hard to keep her away from Ruukoto.
- He has mixed feelings regarding Alex. He respects him for his strength as a martial artist but does not approve of his wanton slaughter of the yakuza in the park (though he thought that last person who shot Lily at least deserved some punishment, though that was an awfully harsh one that Alex put him through).
- He thinks McWallace is a real highlander. Fears Eirin somewhat.
- He feels Yoh is a kindred spirit. Is intimidated by Meira. Is a little concerned about his crossdressing tendencies.
- Hasn't spoken to either Kojiro or Zei ever since they moved away.
- Thinks there is something fishy with Austin. Doesn't trust Nitori within a mile of Ruukoto.
Additional Information/Background/History:
Is currently blind due to an injury caused by dark mana overload.

Tapsa:
Name: Thirtyfour
Gender: Male
Age: 34
Strength: Exceptional tank pilot and gunner. Gall, adrenaline and testosterone powered during imminent danger.
Weakness: Allergic to bigots. Russian tanks.
Home: Saniwa shrine
Occupation: N/A
Visual Description: 5'7", his face and it's surroundings are quite bland when not counting the occasional liver spots lining his neck in a random pattern. His skin on his hands is as tough as crocodile skin, due to his former job in Vickers. Blue eyes, short, brown hair. Caucasian skin tone.
Personality: Confident and willpowered, talks in clear sentences, but pitifully easy to anger when something that he is using in any way does not work. Otherwise, the way MTG portrays him.
Partners: Rika
History/Background: Former citizen of England, and former employee of Vickers Defence Systems. He worked on some parts of the Challenger II, until one day while on a break, Thirtyfour was unaware of Rika lurking in the shadows. When Thirtyfour was off-guard, Rika took her move and struck him unconscious. Rika abducted him and flew him into Gensokyo. Vickers bothered to search for the lost employee, but came to no conclusion from blood and coffee stains. While in Gensokyo, Rika requested in a good manner Thirtyfour to give her the blueprints of Challenger II. Thirtyfour thought he had none, but memorized copying some parts of the Challenger II to blueprints. Rika took them and kicked him out of her house, just like every tank engineer she had captured. But Thirtyfour kept coming back, as the hull of the copied blueprint was missing one important part. Rika refused to let him inside, until he finally persuaded Rika to give up, so he could fix the blueprint. Thirtyfour payed even closer attention and noticed that almost all the blueprints were missing something. Together, they finished the Challenger II, but due of the time limitations, it had to be merged with the current version of Flower Tank. Thirtyfour and Rika drove it out of Gensokyo just before the border collapsed, and rendezvoused with numerous teams and drove to the Saniwa shrine.
Trivia:
* He has no real name as of yet, Rika just calls him Thirtyfour, after the famous tank.
* Prefers to wear jackets and coats most of the time, mostly a flak jacket.
* Avoids Russian tanks for their unconformity.
Additional Information/Background/History:
FV4034 Challenger II
Current class, as of 5/5/09: Vanilla
The version Thirtyfour copied was the prefinal Challenger II, which was slightly different from the current one. Because of the sudden announcement of Gensokyo's border's wearing, the Challenger II had to be merged with some parts of Rika's improvised Flower Tank, mainly the tracks, as such the handling had become more sloppy, allowing physically impossible turns for the Challenger II to pull out, like in Sky-Ray's corridors. The main armament consists of a 120mm smoothbore cannon reminiscent of the Rheinmetall 120mm smoothbore, smelted by Rika to replace the default rifled 120mm cannon issued to the Challenger IIs. Machine guns include a coaxial 7.62mm, hull 7.62mm, and a replacement machine gun in case of breakdown. To keep in the spirit of the Flower Tank, the hatch has been painted with a yin yang orb. The hull is only the Challenger II chassis, there is no real Flower Tank elements. It's armour is the same secret composite of England as usual. The tracks from the Flower Tank have been lengthened to fit with the Challenger II chassis, and thus have lost some of their grip. From inside, the tank is quite conformable and spacious; a characteristic in British tanks. Challenger II also features air conditioning, and a boiling vessel (BV), like in most of British fighting vehicles. It is used for brewing tea and other hot drinks. A true gentleman always has tea with his enemy, even if it was the pinnacle of the war at 5:00 PM!
After the Sky-Ray incident, some of the tank's electronics have suffered damage from water pressure and they can malfunction at any time they want until they are fixed.
