Welcome to Gaia! ::

Stage Designation is basically an indicator of how powerful/dangerous your character is. The scale works so that the number indicates that stage of midboss, or the previous stage's boss. I have provided a chart to make it easy, with examples from Touhou 7.
0: Not even stage 1 midboss - ie. Regular enemies
1: Stage 1 Midboss - Cirno
2: Stage 1 Boss/2 Midboss - Letty Whiterock
3: Stage 2 Boss/3 Midboss - Chen
4: Stage 3 Boss/4 Midboss - Alice (Though technically, at full power she would be 8 )
5: Stage 4 Boss/5 Midboss - Prismriver sisters (Together)
6: Stage 5 Boss/Final Stage Midboss - Youmu
7: Final Boss / Extra Midboss - Yuyuko/Shikigami-posession-mode Chen
8: Extra Boss / Phantasm Midboss - Ran
9: Phantasm Boss - Yukari

For the beginning of the RP, please, no Spellcards past level 6* on the 1 to 9 scale.
*Exceptions can be made for joint Spellcards and/or Canon characters.

Spellcards, in my system, will work more like in the fighting games. They will be your strongest attacks, that you declare, and then use.
*Skill cards, from the fighting games, will be, for all intensive purposes, non existant, and the skills from them can be used at any time.

Please apply for both Canon characters and Originals with this template. I know we already know a lot about the Canons, but it helps me get a sense of how well you know the character you're going for.
For Canons' spellcards and skills, I HIGHLY suggest you list 3 or 4, and then link to their wiki pages on the Touhou Wiki.

IF YOU HAVE ANY PLOT SUGGESTIONS, BRING THEM UP IN PRIVATE WITH ME. I WILL BE HAPPY TO LISTEN. I have my own plots set up, but any additional arcs would be fine as well.

Also, if you would like to get a better feel of some of the characters, I have a ZIP file of Touhou 10.5 (SWR) and 12.3 (UNL), the fighting games, ready to go upon extraction, right HERE.
I also have ZIP files of Touhou 6 (EoSD) HERE,
Touhou 7 (PCB) HERE,
Touhou 8 (IN) HERE,
Touhou 9 (PoFV) HERE,
Touhou 10 (MoF) HERE,
Touhou 11 (SA) HERE,
and Touhou 12 (UFO) HERE, though note these are the Danmaku (Curtain fire) games, which are MUCH harder, and single player only.

東方迫真戻
Touhou Hakushinrei - Inevitable Return

APPLICATION

Character Name: Hakurei Reimu
Race: Human
Age: 29
Gender: Female
Appearance:

• Height - 5'5”
  
• Weight – 100 lbs
  
• Body Type - Thin
  
• Skin type - Light
  
• Eye color - Black
  
• Hair color – Black
  
• Hair style – Medium length, held back by a red ribbon.
  
• Unusual Markings - None
  
• Clothes – Wears a red dress with white detached sleeves that almost resembles a proper shrine maiden's outfit, if you were looking at her from a great distance and had forgotten your glasses.

Significant Trait(s): Dreamer, Lazy, Fearless
Quotes:

• “What? Why am I in a bad mood even though there's a banquet going on? It's because of the banquet, of course, the banquet. Everyone's making all the mess they want, then end up tired and go home without even cleaning up. Or are you saying you'll help me clean up?"
  
• “Look, first of all, my specialty is in dealing with youkai. You can't fight gods and youkai the same way. Besides, there's someone else that should be beaten and scolded. She already got tired and fell asleep.”
  
• Reimu: “Human. . . ? I don't know. There are too many philosophers around anyway. The difference between containers for souls doesn't matter much these days. . .”
  Yukari: “Your job is to crush youkai. Isn't that discrimination?”
  Reimu: “I take it back. Youkai must be crushed by humans. It is my destiny.”
  

Character Power/Ability: Skills as a shrine maiden, inherited power over barriers, the ability to float.
Stage Designation: 7
Weapons/Artifacts:

• Hakurei Ying-Yang Orb - The Hakurei Ying-Yang Orb is a potent excorsism tool. Youkai and evil spirits cannot touch it, and it can grow to enormous size. Furthermore, it has other useful properties:
  1. Even if you eat sweets, you won't get fat
  2. One of your favorite aromas can be given off
  3.The yin-yang orb can be disguised as a cat

Personality: Reimu is by nature a dreamer, a weird, lazy person, and a born hero. At her best, she is an utterly remarkable and insightful person, and a terrific fighter. At her worst, she is a worthless layabout bum. Most of the time, she can be found relaxing at the shrine, drinking tea or sake, or being harassed by one of the many powerful youkai that consider her a friend. However, Reimu has a serious side that comes out when some troublemaker disrupts Gensokyo's peace. Reimu takes her ancestral responsibility to resolve incidents very seriously indeed, and will stop at nothing to punish those responsible.

Reimu, being altogether without fear, and with minimal tact, treats everyone pretty much the same, from the most innocent humans to the most feared youkai: with indifference. Perhaps it's this quality of hers that explains why, while she as few to no human friends, powerful youkai (who are perhaps tired of obsequiousness) have a marked tendency to enjoy her company. Among the youkai who visit her regularly are Remillia Scarlet, the mistress of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Ibuki Suika, former Deva of the Mountains, and the Sage of Youkai herself, Yakumo Yukari. Under Reimu's auspices, the Hakurei shrine has practically become a nest of youkai, which drives away human worshipers. Since youkai don't donate to shrines, this leaves Reimu in a state of semi-perpetual poverty.

In spite of the many youkai that consider themselves her friends, Reimu has said on several occasions words to the effect that humans and youkai are natural enemies, and has been known to become violent simply upon learning that a stranger is a youkai. Despite her claims that youkai should be killed by humans, however, it's pretty clear that Reimu is all talk when it comes to youkai extermination: she's far more likely to befriend than to kill them.

Strengths: Fearlessness, intuition, perception, strange and hard to counter fighting style, tremendous spiritual power
Flaws: Lazy, no social skills or tact, issues surrounding youkai.
Likes: Drinking quietly and enjoying natural beauty, resolving incidents, her friends (sort of, mixed feelings about some of them), being surrounded by a cheerful crowd of noisy youkai.
Dislikes: Work, villains who cause incidents, youkai (on principle), the fact that she's becoming increasingly comfortable around youkai, being surrounded by a cheerful crowd of noisy youkai.
Fears: Loosing all contact with humanity, becoming a youkai.

Family: The Hakurei clan
Friends: Marisa, Suika, and most of the strongest youkai in Gensokyo.

Skills:

• Hakurei Amulet – Reimu blesses exorcism amulets and throws them indiscriminately. So blessed, they seek out her enemies and bind them with her spiritual power.
  
• Cautionary Border – Reimu uses the ancestral magic of the Hakurei clan to create a small, temporary barrier of shimmering light that blocks projectiles and restricts movement.
  
• Dimensional Rift – Reimu suddenly teleports. Some other fighters, like Sakuya and Aya can do something similar, but with Aya it's just speed, and with Sakuya it's just stopping time. Reimu's technique isn't something cheap like that. To imagine how she does it, first view reality as a series of repeating overlapping planes. Then, float upward between them.
  
• Persuasion Needles – Reimu throws iron needles with exorcism slips tied to them. They don't have the homing properties of the Hakurei Amulet, but can be thrown much more rapidly. Her movements when releasing a barrage of needles are almost dance like.
  Also see Reimu's skill cards from Scarlet Weather Rhapsody and Hisoutensoku.

Spellcards:

• Spirit Sign [Fantasy Seal] (4) – One of Reimu's staple Spell Cards. She takes out a handful of exorcism strips, which burst into a blue light that repels youkai, evil spirits, and such like. Then, she releases them into the air and the balls of light seek out her foes. The light is painful to humans, as well.
  
• Dream Sign [Evil Sealing Circle] (5) – A circular attack pattern that restricts both Reimu's and her foe's movement.
  
• Dream Sign [Duplex Barrier] (6) – Reimu creates two barriers, and turns the space between them inside out. This distorting effect causes her bullets to behave impossibly, and makes dodging a headache.
  
• Holy Relic [Yin-Yang Sanctifier Orb] (6) – Reimu throws the Hakurei Yin-Yang Orb, which grows to enormous size. Straightforward but potent.
  
• Boundary [Duplex Danmaku Bounded Field] (7) – A combination of Reimu's Dream Sign [Duplex Barrier] and an imitation of Yukari's [Danmaku Bounded Field]. Reimu disappears, and from a distant vantage point fires lines of bullets that force her opponents into ever more convoluted dodging patterns. Meanwhile, the reality warping effects of Duplex Barrier are in effect. While nowhere near the power of the Yukari's spell, it's still a potent Spell Card.
  
• Divine Arts [Omnidirectional Dragon Slaying Circle] ( 8 ) – An improved version of Dream Sign [Evil Sealing Circle]. Reimu's circling amulets charms and magic bullets create a truly beautiful cataclysm. It's weakness is still Reimu's immobility while she's using it.
  
• [Fantasy Heaven] (9) One of the most potent spells in Gensokyo, and rarely seen – Reimu tends to be loath to use it. When using [Fantasy Heaven], Reimu floats away from reality itself, becoming effectively invincible. Then, she fires bullet after bullet that seem to aim themselves without her direction. If Spell Card rules weren't in effect, this would be basically unbeatable. It's only disadvantage that it can be difficult to use – it requires a somewhat long incantation, and leaves Reimu exhausted.

Bio: Reimu is the current Hakurei Shrine Maiden. Ever since she assumed this mantle, she's earned a fearsome reputation by resolving incident after incident, and is probably one of the most remarkable of the Hakurei clan since the Great Hakurei Barrier was errected. Still, the questionable company she's well known for keeping have made her relationships with the humans she protects somewhat strained.

When she was young, Reimu's weirdness and lack of tact led to ostracization from the other humans. Reimu saw accepting her ancestrial responsibility and becoming the next Hakurei Shrine Maiden as a way to gain acceptance from humans, grateful for her victories over youkai. Obviously, this didn't work out very well.

Touhou Hakushinrei - Inevitable Return

APPLICATION

Character Name: Yakumo Yukari
Race: Youkai
Age: Ancient. 3000 is a conservative (young) estimate.
Gender: Female
Appearance:

• Height - 5'11”
  
• Weight – 150 lbs
  
• Body Type – A little on the 'has visible body fat' side, but far from plump. Not particularly muscular.
  
• Skin type - Pale

Significant Trait(s): Ominous, warden of Gensokyo, paragon of youkai
Quotes:

• “The heavens use the lands too luxuriously. They say that Enlightenment is forbidden because the heavens are overcrowded. What a big lie. They just hate small spaces, that's all. The claim that celestials are people who have left their worldliness behind is also a big lie. Heaven is, in fact, a hive for sly people. ”
  
• ”U fu fu fu . . . that was great, great! Stealing something they can't come to get back was the best idea! After all, we'll just drink it all up! Oh, imagining the aggravated looks on the Watatsukis' faces makes me pleased.”
  
• Yukari: The transient fire~♪
  Vanishes by the hand of the strict wind~♪
  Oh, the magician passing by there. May I borrow a bit of your time?
  Alice: Hm, who is it? How'd you manage to come all the way here?
  Yukari: By singing.
  
• Sakuya: So, is law enforcement always like this around here?
  Yukari: There is no law in this world. And there's no death penalty, of course.
  Sakuya: Oh, what about the Enma?
  Yukari: If you are stronger than the Enma, you can do what you want. This place . . . no, this place, too, is that sort of world.
  

Character Power/Ability: Manipulation of boundaries, ability to enter gaps.
Stage Designation: 9

Personality: Encountering Yukari is almost always an experience. In addition to her overwhelming power and air of authority, she has a habit of speaking circuitously or in riddles, and enjoys confusing the hapless. Depending on her mood, she can either come across as bewilderingly weird or as the very embodiment of 'ominous'. To those who's company she enjoys, she will sometimes present a different face: that of a wise and peace-loving bon vivant. Even to those whom she has shown this face, however, she often comes across as weird and terrifying. More than anything, Yukari resonates authority.

Yukari is perhaps the cleverest person in Gensokyo, and, in addition to meddling behind the scenes to ensure Gensokyo's smooth functioning, uses her brilliance to launch needlessly convoluted schemes, often for little to no reason. It's a diversion to her. Most have given up trying to make sense of half the things Yukari does. Yukari has no qualms about manipulating her friends as well as her enemies or bystanders in her strange schemes.

As a rule, Yukari usually has the edge in any encounter with her. Indeed, if you see her at all, it's because she wants you to see her. There are very few people who are capable of getting the better of her in either conversation or combat. She is not above pretending to loose to further some scheme of hers, however.

Yukari is one of the only people who are capable of breaching the Great Hakurei Barrier at will, and as a result, is one of the few people in Gensokyo to be aware of the trends and fashion of the outside world. She's been known to talk to Ran using a cell phone, play a Game Boy in her spare time, and listen to music on an iPod.

Yukari is a proud earthling, and dislikes Celestials and Lunarians – denizens of pure lands. Perhaps this can be ascribed to differences of philosophy. Both she and those she dislikes are in the business of paradise building, but while the Heavens and the Lunar Capital have set to creating lands free of conflict or strife, both conflict and strife are not only present but an integral part of Yukari's paradise. Another reason might be pride: Yukari can't stand being looked down on, and both Celestials and Lunarians categorically look down on earth dwellers.
Strengths: Unmatched power, terrifying cunning, depth of knowledge and experience
Flaws: Over-reliant on her powers, unused to fighting opponents on or above her level, sleeps more than half of the time (hibernates in winter and sleeps during the daytime).
Likes: Messing with people, sake, song, Gensokyo
Dislikes: Celestials, Lunarians, idiots, banality, failure
Fears: Pretty much nothing.

Family: In a manner of speaking, Ran and Chen.
Friends: Yuuyuuko, Suika, Reimu (Yukari considers her a friend), Rinnosuke (Again, from Yukari's point of view more than his.)

Skills:

• Open, Lamented Box of Urashima – Yukari opens a gap in the sky and drops debris from it.
  
• Illusionary Rift – Yukari opens and enters a gap in reality. While there, she can neither attack nor be attacked. It's almost impossible to predict where or when she'll emerge.
  
• Universe of Matter and Antimatter Antimatter – Yukari opens a rift that does nothing by itself. When overlapped with another such rift, however, a huge distortion attack occurs.
  
• Ride the Waves – Yukari opens a gap that absorbs her opponents' projectiles. Later, she can shoot them back out at her opponent.
  
• Boundary of Mind and Foot – Yukari opens a long, linear rift in reality, severing anything caught therein.

Spellcards:

• Shikigami [Yakumo Ran] (7) – Yukari summons Ran, who rushes at the enemy, ripping and tearing.
  
• Splitter [Thing That Splits All Into Two] (7) – Yukari transforms her parasol into a sword and herself into a whirling cutting wheel that passes freely between the boundary of earth and sky.
  
• Fantasy Nest [Flying Glow Worm's Nest] ( 8 ) – An array of gaps appear behind Yukari. Then, an array of lasers issue forth.
  
• Abandoned Line [Aimless Journey to the Abandoned Station] ( 8 ) – Yukari uses one of her gaps to divert the course of a train from the outside world directly into her opponent.
  
• Bounded Field [Curse of Dreams and Reality]( 8 ) – Yukari's dream threatens to consume her opponent. Her foe must resist being drawn in while reality itself appears to be continually shrinking.
  
• [Boundary of Humans and Youkai] (9) – Yukari's foe is placed in a gilded, inescapible cage that continually shrinks throughout the Spell Card. Meanwhile, bullet after bullet is fired into the cage from outside. By the end of this Spell Card, Yukari's foe is left with barely a meter to dodge in.
  
• Yukari's Arcanum [Danmaku Bounded Field] (9) Yukari simply vanishes. Then, her foe is surrounded by lines of twisting bullets that become an ever more convoluted maze. To dodge, Yukari's foe is forced into convoluted and unintuitive flight patterns. Perception and reality itself seem to be distorted. It feels like Yukari is laughing at you, trapped in a maze of bullets.

Bio:
To a degree, Yukari's past is synonymous with the history of Gensokyo. It was she who, long ago, defined Gensokyo as the land of illusions and began to work to create a demesne for youkai. It was she who, in Meiji, worked alongside the Hakurei clan to erect the Great Hakurei Barrier. It was and is she who maintains the delicate balance of power between humans and youkai that enables the long peace Gensokyo has enjoyed, and under whose subtle guidance Gensokyo had matures into the turbulent paradise it is.

Before the history of Gensokyo, Yukari rose to fame among youkai for leading a (failed) invasion of the moon. Her origins are largely unknown. Perhaps she was a human or lesser youkai who fell into a gap in reality and became something more. Perhaps she was born immaculately from the boundary of existence and non-existence. Perhaps she is the embodiment of the collective will of Youkai. No one is quite sure, and Yukari doesn't seem prone to tell anyone. For that matter, Yakumo Yukari appears to be a name she chose for herself.

Sample Post:

Quote:

“What are you doing?”

A number of smaller boxes fell cacophonously to the floor as Remilia Scarlet was startled from her position crouching behind some crates in a Scarlet Devil Mansion storeroom by the sudden intrusion of Yakumo Yukari.

“Hiding, what does it look like?,” the vampire whispered in a hushed tone that seemed to desperately say, keep it down!

Not bothering to lower her voice, Yukari, who was resting in the air as if it were a pillow, only half out of one of her gaps, spoke once more: “How odd, for a master to hide within her own castle. Are you perhaps under siege? Or are you hiding from the world? It's better to boldly face your problems, you should know that. Although, here, surrounded as you are by crates of sake, is as good a place as any to hide from the world if you must.”

“No!” Remilia hissed, “it's a game, obviously! Oh, damnit, you'll give me away. What are you even doing here?”

“Hiding,” Yukari responded calmly.

Remilia looked incredibly annoyed, but she really didn't have time to spare for Yukari's antics. The others must have surely heard the noise by now. Glancing back at the oddly smiling Yukari, Remilia bolted out of the storeroom and down a hallway. Yukari gingerly waved goodbye, and, whistling, dropped out of her gap, opened the crate Remlia was hiding behind, and extricated a bottle of good sake: her objective.

Yukari was gliding gracefully through the sky with her new prize when she spied Reimu, her good friend, gazing wistfully into the flowers behind the Hakurei Shrine by herself, and, quite on a whim, decided to pay her a visit. After all, Yukari said to herself, drinking alone is a shame . . . as is a one person flower-viewing.

“Yukari,” Reimu said as Yukari used her power to enter the gap on the bench next to the shrine maiden, “is this important? I was in the middle of a flower viewing.”

Weapons/Artifacts:

• Silver Throwing Knives - Sakuya always keeps a hefty number of throwing knives on her, if she runs out, she freezes time and picks up the ones she has throw making it seem like she has an endless amount of knives.

Personality: Sakuya is usually refined and elegant and likes to keep on top of things. She manages to single handedly clean the entire Scarlet Devil Mansion on her own as her other maids are pretty much useless. Even with this amount of responsibility, Sakuya is known to be a little careless and airheaded at times.

Being the chief maid, Sakuya has an unwavering loyalty to Remilia Scarlet whom she addresses as "Lady" and "Mistress".

• Ricochet Throw - With her precise aim, Sakuya throws her knives, not towards the opponent but away from them. The knives then richochet off the surrounding surfaces and towards her adversary.
  
• Revolving Blades - Sakuya jumps towards her opponent and a number of blades magically revolve around her body at high speeds, successfully acting as either a barrier or an offensive skill.
  
• Ripped Space - By altering the space in front of her body, Sakuya is able to create a wavering barrier that reflects projectiles momentarily.

Spellcards:

• Conjuring [Misdirection] (Level 5) - Sakuya releases aimed bursts of blades.
  
• Conjuring [Illusional Misdirection] (Level 5) - Much like her above spellcard, but these blades/daggers are capable of richocheting off surfaces towards their opponent.
  
• Illusion Existence [Clock Corpse] (Level 5) - Sakuya freezes time and unleashes a volley of daggers aimed towards her opponent before resuming time. Opponent is frozen for the duration of the stopped clock.

• Illusion Ghost [Jack the Ludo Bile] (Level 5) - The time freezes and Sakuya summons curtain of daggers all surrounding the opponent in a spherical manner. Opponent is frozen for the duration of the stopped clock.
  
• Maid Secret Skill [Killing Doll] (Level 6) - Sakuya freezes the clock and releases a number of various explosions of daggers, making the battlefield quite a hectic place to be. Opponent is frozen for the duration of the stopped clock.
  
• Conjuring [Eternal Meek] (Level 7) - Her strongest move, Sakuya sets looks a barrage of high-speed magical bullets that is almost imposible to dodge.

Bio: Sakuya is the Chief Maid at the Scarlet Devil Mansion, working for her mistress, Remilia Scarlet, and is apparently the only human working at or living within the mansion. Due to her ability to stop time, Sakuya can accomplish massive amounts of house mansion work and still have time to brew up a new tea and cook up a fancy dinner for Remelia and Flandre.

Very little is known about Sakuya before her entrance into the Scarlet Devil Mansion, save that Sakuya Izayoi is not her real name but one given to her by Remilia. And the fact that Sakuya was once a vampire hunter who went after Remilia, however, she failed in the task and in return, Sakuya became unceasingly loyal to her new mistress.

Sample Post:

Quote:

Sakuya had finallt finished cleaning the length of the hallway and walked into the kitchen where the tea was brewing. The water wasn't yet boiling and where she would normally speed up the time, she decided against it and walked out to pluck a few petals to flavor the water instead.

"Surely, Remilia-Sama would like plum blossom flavored tea today." She pondered quietly to herself before returning into the kitchen. She stared at the pot of water, which by now was whistling puffs of steam and furrowed her brows. There was something wrong, she knew it. The maid quickly scanned the kitchen, as if waiting for an intruder to come and pounce on her. Seeing nothing of worry, Sakuya turned back to to the teapot, frowning at the handle. There was a smudge on handle. Who... put.. a smudge on the handle?

Sakuya placed the kettle in the sink, all the while frowning before reaching up to get a new kettle to boil fresh water.

Bio:
She wandered around Gensokyo throughout the centuries living in different places till she got bored or was driven away, she never had a real sense of home or family. 3 years ago she got gravely injured while in her fox form and colapsed near Misty Lake. She was brought to the Scarlet Devil Mansion by Sakuya who gave her to Flandre as a gift, thinking a fox might make a good pet for the crazy vampire. As she healed she grew very attached to the inhabitants of the mansion, and when she was finally well enough to transform into her human form she requested to stay there and live with the sisters. Since her care of the fox had brought about a mild inprovement in the mental state of the vampire they happily agreed.

Sample Post
With a stretch the Kitsune rolled over wriggling happily on the grass and then sprung up onto her paws. The sun was warm out and she had just finished a lovely nap. Taking off into the trees at a light sprint, her three tails wagging happily behind her, she went in search of some fun.

Bio:Before she met Ran, Chen was basically a wanderer around Gensokyo who was adopted by Ran and she made Chen her shikigami. Chen was guarding the village of Mayohiga during the events of Perfect Cherry Blossom. Unfortunately, she could put up little resistance due to being far away from her master.
Later, she guards the path to Ran Yakumo, and is much more powerful due to her master's proximity.
Since the events of Perfect Cherry Blossom and the other games she has become a bit more powerful. But to become powerful enough to fight on her own she needs to learn to stop relying on Ran.

Sample Post: It was mid-afternoon and Chen was enjoying a nice nap in the sun, parts of her body covered by shade from the leaves of the tree she was under. She was pulled into what could only be a ball with her tails against her body. This was probably her favorite time of year, late Spring. The snow and the cold were gone and the sun was shining. It was days like this that she didn't feel like guarding the path to Yukari's house or anything else that Ran asked her to and just wanted to relax… so that's exactly what she was doing.

Suddenly a gust of wind came and a leaf from the tree she was under fell and brushed against her right ear, causing it to twitch slightly but still she rested on until suddenly she heard a rush of wind as someone had flown by causing her to jump to her feet in high alert as she looked around startled.

"Oh!? Who was that?"

She looked around curiously trying to find the source of the disturbance. She was a good hunter and began to track the scent in the air and silently followed after the person, the curious nekomata wanted to investigate and get rid of whoever it was that was trying to intrude.

Though she's still confined to the scarlet Devil Mansion, she is allowed to leave the basement now and then, and has been given a "pet" (Misheru) to take care of in hopes that her mental state would improve further. She's come a long way from when she would say "Let's play!" happily, then end up nearly beating even Marisa.
Strengths: Incredible power | Good Speed
Flaws: Unstable personality | Partly insane | Poor control of her power | Unused to real interaction | Reliant on Remilia and the rest of the SDM crew.

Then those disappear, and large amounts of danmaku start closing in from all sides. During both phases, it becomes more hectic as time passes...not that the opponent can do anything about it.
  
• Q.E.D. [Ripples of 495 Years] (Level 8 ) - Flandre sits still...however, ripples of ricocheting danmaku are sent out from all over the battlefield, making it impossible to sit still and shoot at her.

Bio: Flandre and Remilia were sisters, born 5 years apart. From the beginning, Flandre had been a very unstable child, and was thus feared and shunned. This of course, only worsened it. Then, when Flandre was 8 (Remilia, 13), they were kidnapped by a vampire, and turned. It was then that Flandre gained her power, which magnified her instability by a huge amount. It only got worse over the years. Her Sister, knowing she would either be killed, or kill many people, used her power over fate, to imprison her in the basement of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. 495 years later, she and Marisa fought in the basement of the SDM. Since then, with visits from the SDM crew, and occasionally people from outside, her mental state has been steadily improving. Recently, Misheru was given to her as a pet, in hopes that the resposibility and common contact would improve her mental state further. So far, it's been working.
