The human village. The sole bastion of humanity within the border of Gensokyo, a land otherwise filled to the brim with demonic beings simply known as yokai. Actually though, the only reason for the villages existence is because of these yokai.

In the past when humans heard of the large concentration of yokai in the area, strong and capable humans travelled towards Gensokyo with the purpose to keep watch on these yokai, and preventing them from harming humans. But this purpose has since been long forgotten.

No, since Gensokyo was sealed off from the rest of the world by the great Hakurei barrier humans in the village has mostly been living in fear of the yokai, but never losing their life in attacks made from them. A system made to preserve the yokai. Naturally this causes great resentment towards all yokai from the villagers.

You are one of these villagers, but who exactly?

[] Blacksmith

You are the village blacksmith, a highly valued member of the human village. Whenever a villager has any problems with armaments or tools, you can probably fix it. You wake up early each day to heat the forge, and take monthly trips to the Tengus on Yokai mountain to procure high-quality steel. Your weapon of choice is a hammer, alongside your surprising strength.

Your ability is "The ability to handle tools".

Your Spell Cards are:
  • Strength "Earth-shattering Smash"
  • Heat sign "Tempered in Hellish Flame"
  • Hammer Sign "Hammer Time"

[] Fortune-teller

You study the art of divination, which you use to get brief glimpses of the future. You know your visions are true, but the villagers don't. They usually visit the divination master that all other fortune-tellers are studying under. You don't know the old man though, as you are completely self-taught through various books. You don't know how many hours you've spent in the book rental shop studying.

Your ability is "The ability to view the future".

Your Spell Cards are:
  • Augury "Swallows Flying Low"
  • Oracle Sign "Grand Sortilege"
  • Misfortune "Black Cat's Omen"

[] Magician (Not the yokai kind)

You are a recluse, living in the outskirts of the village, outside of the village wall. You are not often seen in the village, and do not have the best reputation. You are very skilled in brewing potions, but you tend to dabble in other subject, but you haven't found a subject which you can devote your lifetime to researching yet. You make frequent trips into the surrounding areas for ingredients.

Your ability is "The ability to use magic".

Your Spell Cards are:
  • Potion " Volatile Concoction"
  • Elixir "Magical Enhancement"
  • Poison "Bloodroot Brew"

I see. Are you a boy or a girl?

[] Girl

[] Girl

And what is your name?

[] Write-in

So. This is a thing. It's actually my first time attempting to write, and I'm planning on using you all as motivators, so that I will actually get off my lazy behind and do something. So why not. Also, since this is my first time, any critique is greatly appreciated.
 
[x] Fortune-teller

Sounds interesting and as long as we're not stupid enough to turn ourselves into a Youkai like that one fortune teller from Forbidden Scrollery we'll be fine.

Obviously.

Name.....not sure here, does anyone know a japanese name that means Bad Omen?
 
[X] Blacksmith because nothing says humanity fuck yeah! Like
 
So just noticed that the fortune teller backstory has us spending a lot of time in the book rental shop from forbidden scrollery.

For those of you who don't know the girl who runs that place has the ability to read anything written down and has a...collection of youkai books (including a japanese edition of the necronomacon) which depending what they are about are pretty dangerous to read.

How this for a blacksmith guy image?

 
Is there a reason turning yourself into a Youkai is a major no-no?
Do you become inherently evil or something?
based on the discussion on the touhou idea thread on sb the current theory is that by allowing humans the ability to turn them selves into youkais it risks destroying the sense of mystery and fear that youkais need to exist as they can start comparing the difference before and after they became one.
 
I just realized. There is no Armstrong in Gensokyo. We must fix this error.
