Chevaleresse Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 If you don't know what Touhou is, http://www.pokemonreborn.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=19280 Basically girls causing all sorts of fuckery with magical powers and then settling it over giant bullet hell duals and/or tea. I'll admit that I have no ideas for a plot or any mechanics at all, and I'm not particularly interested in hosting, but I think having one would be cool, so this is an interest check in the rawest sense. EDIT: Ideas are always welcome, crappy or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiss13 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Bleh. We were thinking the same thing. (and by that I mean, yes I am all for it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnocentSerenity Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 While I don't have the slightest idea how to RP, I'd love to have a Touhou RP be my introduction to it. I'm all for doing one, and hope that I will be able to take part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code: PIRULUK Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 One major problem would be character creation. You'd need to have a VERY in-depth understanding of Japanese mythology to find a Youkai race to play. Additionally, human characters in the touhouverse are generally super underpowered - with a few (read: 4, 5 if you count Youmu) exceptions.

Chevaleresse Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 There are a few "youkai" that aren't from Japanese myth specifically, though, aren't there? As well as "half-youkai" like werewolves and such, along with beings like celestials and fairies that aren't youkai at all. EDIT: For a non-exhaustive list of species someone could play without really treading on a unique character: -Half-human half-youkai. I think Rinnosuke might be the only one in the canon right now but it's not exactly implausible for more to exist. -A fairy. -Therianthropes. Werewolves and the like, though they work a bit differently than the typical ones. -Lots of different animal youkai. Mice, hell ravens, cats, you name it, though you'd probably want to look up a bit more detail. -Hermits, though this would again take a bit more research than one might be willing to do. -Maybe Lunarians? -A magician, either youkai or otherwise. -Oni, though this kind of invokes some questions as to how powerful PCs would be allowed to be. -Tengu, there are a few of them already and they come with the bonus of having multiple types. -Just a generic, unspecified youkai, which exist in several places. -Vampires, though this comes with another question of power levels. -Western mythological creatures, since we've seen a couple in Gensokyo. -A ghost, phantom, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevaleresse Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Reviving this thread since I asked a few people from another site about interest, so this should be visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamitako Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 NRYOOM~ I will 100% totes stall out this RP for everyone <3<3<3<3 (AKA I'm in if it happens) TBH, I'd host but I'm already trying to start two RPs and failing to start a third... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarbiusMaximus Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) I am here and ready for this. Just need to work on an OC for this. Edited March 29, 2016 by DarbiusMaximus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumia Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Im interested, sounds like fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamitako Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 NRYOOM~ (Again) Oi, so I was thinking (and playing Touhou) And I thought that this needs to somehow incorporate the same feeling you get in danmaku when there's just bullets everywhere and ninja dodging How? IDFK, but it would make it like super duper much good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDFK, but it would make it like super duper much good IDK what RPG system we're going to use... if push comes to shove I could teach Adamance "Big Eyes Small Mouth", an anime RPG or OVA which is simlar but uses dice pools. There is a Big Eyes Small Mouth d6 system theough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevaleresse Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 I wasn't planning on using a RPG system at all, tbqh. The main issue currently is not having any ideas for a plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could be tackling problems or special threats Reimu and Marissa don't have time for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevaleresse Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 Ah OK. We could be tackling problems or special threats Reimu and Marissa don't have time for. This actually sounds like a good idea, as discussed in PM. We could actually offload this and turn this into a PvP sort of thing, where one person plays the "antagonist" that starts an incident (and maybe others that are working with you) and others play the ones trying to solve it.
