Halloween Game: Escape From Hallokyo (RPG story)

Ooh, this could be fun! Should we start by quickly defining a character, or are we just gonna play magical versions of ourselves? ^^

Would playing as Misaka be a bit OP?

I dispatched Lucina over; she'll take that crystal ball with a minor HP loss. Her magic bar is bound to a Soul Gem, and will only replenish if she defeats a boss. Too much magic consumption and she'll collapse, permanently.

She is tough, and I'm confident that she might survive through this event, whether it's a solo or with a party.

My Lucina's Falchion (Class S) cannot be forged, traded or sold in any way.

Damage: 8
Speed: 10
Block: 6

Edit: Updated my party's HUD now showing Lucina, Avery, Relm, and Remilia.

Unfortunately, I can only have up to three party members with me at any one time, sorry.

Currently on standby.

I see the Devil Manor is a location and the art...am I a boss?

Halloween seems like a crazy holiday, maybe last boss should be Flandre imo

Name: Avery Silverton

Summary:

Precious little is known about this traveler, and even his close acquaintances would describe him as an enigma. What's certain is that he appeared one day on the outskirts of Northwind - clothed, fed, and well-educated - but knew next to nothing about the intricacies of Gensokyan society. He would then attempt to pass himself off as a noble from some far-off kingdom, but this ruse was abandoned as he became acclimated to civilization.

Despite these initial hiccups, the townsfolk soon grew rather fond of their mysterious stranger. He would quickly distinguish himself in rescuing a boy swept away by floodwaters, and his uncommon physical strength made him indispensable to the town's volunteer fire brigade. Last anyone heard, he'd snagged some quick work on a caravan headed west.

Arms (and training): Avery's carbine proved useless against Gensokyo's roving beasts and was ultimately discarded. Happenstance then saw him as an apprentice at the local fletcher, where he found himself skilled with bows and crossbows.

Armor: Diligent care has allowed Avery to keep wearing the jacket from his militia days (often called a gambeson by Gensokyans). It's tough, well-insulated, and the addition of a scarf provides excellent protection against cold and frost-based magic.

Equipment (and skills): Avery is well-acquainted with the arts of scouting and stealth. Despite losing his carbine, he hung onto his binoculars, entrenching tool, and a serrated survival knife. The latter isn't much use in a fight, but it's proven useful for cutting through ropes and giant spiderwebs.

Name: Lucina

Summary:

>Hailing from northwestern Lucia in the kingdom of Ylisse, times are indeed very tough for this poor fellow with a bad future. As an aged princess barely into her twenties, Lucina was taught the best of the best no other Lucian or even an Ylissean in her name and knows how to protect herself. She knows many people across the kingdom whom she called friends, often finding herself in a few major and several minor conflicts spanning over the years to the present day.

>Having self-proclaimed as a time traveler from the future with an optimist perspective of the world, plenty of survival experience, and having a strong body and mind, she heard a rumor about a faraway realm that the Lucians still think it belongs to Lucia. After much debating, she asks the mystic to be taken to the present.

>That's when something starts to hit the brakes. Upon being transported to Gensokyo after a wild portal ride that went wrong, she takes heavy damage from a high fall from the sky, no one could have survived that. After several seconds of recovery, she notices serious wounds on her legs and chest area, severely affecting her movement. She would have to find a physician of sorts in this mysterious land. Her mission is simple: Apprehend all specified high-ranking yokai at all costs and try to find a way to escape with any survivors. Failure is not a word in her vocabulary.

>Her Falchion, regarded as an ancient bloodline weapon that only certain people can wield it, cannot be taken away, forged, traded, or sold. Along with that, a crystal ball should serve a handy purpose in determining possible future key moments.

Weapons: Falchion, it is an ancient sword feared by her enemies and admired by her and allies for generations, it is Lucina's preferred weapon. Given its stats, it allows her to swing it very fast for an impressive amount of damage across most enemy types, but if going up against certain enemy bosses, it can do more, and in some cases it might allow her to miss enemy attacks altogether. She is sometimes good at blocking with it. Lastly, it has a 30% chance of allowing Lucina to hit an enemy twice in one move.

Armor: Her Ylissean princess outfit allows her to survive otherwise deadly falls but does not guarantee any immunity to it, and it makes her light suitable for very fast movement. Even then, yokai have been known to travel faster and farther than any known human.

Equipment and Skills: As a proficient tactician with years of experience, she can be a very valuable asset to the party, so long as anyone stays on her good side. Her only starting equipment for this is a crystal ball that allows her to scan her surroundings of possible key future moments; its only drawback is that it is very mentally draining when used.

The Land isn't Gensokyo people. The Gensokyo and Halloween town merged for a while. Where Human town was ia now Hallowtown. The mountain is now wjere Dark Tower stands. Where Alice's house was is not the lab. Etc. Summary later, too late now zzz

Aight aight, fair enough. tbqh I know next to nothing about Touhou lore, but I'll do some reading after my exam tomorrow.

How soon did you wanna kick things off? Sunday perhaps? ^^

Name: Relm Arrowny

Summary:

>With naught but an ornate rod, a mysterious paint brush and the clothes on her back Relm had little in the way of things when she first strolled into town some time ago. Being a mere child, her traveling alone raised eyebrows and her refusal to divulge any details about where she had come from in the first place only deepened the mystery. Her snarky personality made the townspeople a bit slow to warm up to her.

>Nevertheless, she was still able to quickly secure herself a comfortable living through her incredible painting skills. A number of the town's nobility have already commissioned her for portraits, landscapes or renditions of some of the beasts roaming the land. As a result of this patronage she has accumulated a decently sized war chest over the duration of her stay. Some close observers have noted that she appears to be striving toward some goal in particular, though none can say for sure what that goal may be.

Arms: Relm has experience wielding maces, rods and in dire situations paint brushes against foes. The Pearl Rod she brought with her is super effective against demons and other creatures that lurk in the shadows thanks to its holy nature. However, Relm's stature makes it somewhat difficult to effectively wield it. The local weapons shop has some maces and flails she may be able to use.

Armor: There isn't much in the way of traditional armor that is applicable to Relm. Instead of heavy metal armor pieces Relm prefers wearing robes with magical properties as well as curious trinkets. With her she has a simple silk robe as well as an earring which greatly enhances the magic ability of the wearer. She also keeps a gem box on a necklace that allows her to dual cast spells.

Equipment and Skills: Aside from the accessories mentioned above there isn't much else to say about Relm's equipment. Relm is smart enough but tactical and strategic abilities are out of her scope. Her two greatest assets are her innate magical powers, which while strong have grown weaker from lack of use over time, and her ability to render just about anything on a canvas, so lifelike that it almost seems real...

If no one else signs in today, perhaps tomorrow~

I'd like to participate - I just don't have the time to make a character right now >.<

Don't make me say baka, Sakuya. Let us have our fun, and no one will be hurt.

I'm kinda on the fence here. Sakuya, since you're GM, did you plan the whole thing around us finding/buying/improvising weapons? Or would it be alright if some (if not most) of us were armed?
