lesyayTOUHOU: RESOLVE
Welcome to Gensokyo! What's Gensokyo, you ask? Consider it a little piece of the real world that we snipped off a couple centuries back when that whole "science" thing started getting popular, so that the creatures you now consider "myth" wouldn't fade away.Gensokyo is a land of fairies, of youkai, of fierce demons and regal vampires. It's a land where Momotaro is history, and where there really are rabbits on the moon. There are humans too, of course - just enough of them to populate a village so that their belief and their fear can continue giving youkai the belief they need to exist.
You might be familiar with a certain lazy shrine maiden and scheming magician solving various incidents around Gensokyo. Don't worry about them, this is a Different Gensokyo. If that confuses you... just don't worry about it!
What we need are our own heroes, humans and youkai who will work together to solve our own Incidents. We might play by Spellcard rules, but these Incidents are no joke. Can you step up and be the people Gensokyo needs?
What, me? Don't be stupid. I'm just your normal every-day youkai. You can call me Mary, though. What we need is you.
Q&A TIME
Q. What is Touhou?
A. Go ask Quinn, you'll get a better answer.
Q. What is Valor?
A. The system we will be using to play Touhou: Resolve. There'll be some custom rules, stuff that'll be made clear before game start.
Q. When is the game?
A. It will start after I finish up Half-Plus. Estimation: Early 2024. Yeah, we're early.
Q. When will the game?
A. I've currently divided my games into "weekday games" or "weekend games," depending on tone and how hard it is to run. Touhou: Resolve will be a weekday game. Which day is not set in stone, and will depend on both GM and player availability as we get closer to game start. But expect a weekday evening, starting somewhere between 6 and 8 (maybe 9, but that's pushing it) Eastern Time.
Q. Why is the game?
A. Because Touhou is a rich setting for characters and spellcard rules are fun.
Q. Anything to keep in mind?
A. When it comes time to plan actual characters, it might be best to have a couple ideas in mind. Part of the selection process will be making sure the party isn't stepping on each other's toes for character beats, which means there probably won't be more than one shrine maiden, more than two humans, more than two outsiders, etc.
Q. Sounds cool, how do I sign up?
A.
1. What name/alias do you go by?
2. What's your plurk username? (Or other social media contact.)
3. Character concept(s)?
4. Anything you want to see in game?
5. Link your favorite AMV! Because I like AMVs.

3. Character concept(s)? To copy from Plurk:
Hakisouji Masako
Masako was an ambitious noble who was foiled in life through political machinations who became a terror of a vengeful ghost in death. She was eventually thwarted by a prominent family of shrine maidens and sealed inside a broom. Said broom was kept enshrined, but in the process ended up being neglected as a tool. As the shrine itself fell into disrepair, the broom eventually would start emerging as a tsukumogami. But Masako's will was so strong that rather than manifesting an independent spirit, Masako merged with the developing spirit. She thus found a way around the seal, but in the process she done played herself: not only was she now only as strong as a newborn kami, but the imperative of that tsukumogami meant she suddenly found herself compelled towards domestic maintenance of the shrine.
Over time, as her attention focused mostly on her new duties as maintainer of the shrine, her desire for vengeance diminished. Yet she still has the seal, and who knows what would happen if that seal was removed?
Basically Aura/Dex, former Stage 6 or so boss in a Stage 1 boss body.
4. Anything you want to see in game? Plenty of creative takes on spellcard battles is all I need.
5. Link your favorite AMV! Because I like AMVs. I'm an HTML dunce so I'll just link it. https://youtu.be/c9AfoNI7dL4
