Kosuzu Motoori Class: Shopkeeper	Yuma Kuga Class: Border Agent	Mamizou Futatsuiwa Class: Tanuki Lord
Mimori Togo Class: Hero	Orion Kislev Class: Healer/Chronomancer	Yuka Ichijou Class: Reflector
Norah Tanner Class: Agent	Hata no Kokoro Class: Youkai

In slightly more detail:

Kosuzu Motoori (Touhou Project) is the human owner of the bookstore Suzunaan, and wields the ability to read anything, regardless of language. Friendship levels at maximum, but she has a tendency to cram her shop full of youkai-infested youma books, making it one of the most haunted-ass buildings in the human village. Often ends up in over her head due to a combination of fascination with cursed magic tomes and insatiable curiosity.

Yuma Kuga (World Trigger) is an alien immigrant from another dimension, trying to figure out how the fuck human society works. An easygoing weirdo with a robot buddy, but he's actually from a war-torn nightmare battlefield of a homeland, and he's living as an energy-based fake body while his real body exists in laser stasis, slowly dying. His combat abilities have the side effect of letting him function as an infallible walking lie detector.

Mamizou Futatsuiwa (Touhou Project) is a tanuki who was brought into Gensokyo to try and tilt the balance of power back in favor of the youkai. With the ability to change her shape at will, she often infiltrates the human village in disguise to be slightly ominous and very friendly to people at the same time. Has like five hidden agendas at any given moment. Low-key mob boss aesthetic.

Mimori Togo (Yuki Yuna is a Hero) is a magical girl tasked with protecting a god-tree from an endless procession of divine messengers of destruction. Can't walk, absurdly into Japanese history/weird patriotism, has a surreal sense of deadpan humor, sniper. Characterized by being really odd in slice of life scenarios, then crying and yelling about the apocalypse and being bad at friendship.

Orion Kislev (OC) is a college student who got trapped in an MMO. A shitposting minmaxer who obsessively tries to optimize the guild's performance and annoys his friends. Has healing magic and a lot of memes, operates on videogame logic. Never sleeps, decided at some point that honestly the game world rules, fuck reality and trying to get back home.

Yuka Ichijou/Reflector Shine (OC) is a magical girl who fights in a magical dreamscape where she manifests as her ideal self. The team healer and support caster, she does everything in her power to allow everyone to live happily as the people they want to be. A trans girl, she is still living as the tall, standoffish artist Ryouma Ichijou in the real world. Will probably die for you if you're chill about all the shit she's got going on.

Throw a character on here and let's sort something fun out. Here's an incomplete list of shit I'm always down for:

Swapping backstories
Dunking one character into the other character's canon
Texting shitposts at each other at 2 AM
Yelling and crying about friendship while fighting
Low-key shipping aesthetic

If you want more, here's some random prompts from the internet. Or, just make shit up. Talk to me on Plurk. I wanna do thread.

Oh no, no way!

[ She holds up both hands and flaps them as if to underline how thoroughly she means that 'no way' ]

I figure, it's not really anyone's business? What's in your notebook at all, I mean, not just the doodles. I was seriously worried I was gonna find something personal in there and I'd feel like the worst human being ever when I was just looking for your name!

But I didn't! So we're good.

All right. Cool.

[ Ryouma leans against the wall, trying with mixed success to look like she isn't in a mild panic. ]

And... what I was doing when you walked in... would also be kind of hard to explain to my friends, so...

[ Aaah, 'cool' in the way you use it when things are definitely absolutely not cool. She gets it. ]

Ooohh yeah, no worries. Mouth, zipped.

[ She actually mimes zipping her mouth and tossing away the zipper but then she gives Ryouma a smile. ]

Is that why you were up here all by yourself, then? You think people are gonna get on your case for learning to dance?

I... I guess?

[ Most girls she talks to have either confessed, gotten intimidated, or wandered off by now. ]

It's more like... having a place that's just for me... or something.

'cause everyone I talked to can't get enough of you, right?

[ Coming from someone else that might have sounded biting and/or sarcastic but Kyouko somehow manages to make it come out with 100% sincerity. ]

Seriously, all your classmates were like "kyaaa, Ichijou-san!" when I asked about you and I bet that gets super tiring after a while.

[hurk.]

I don't... It's not like I think badly of them, you know? It's not like I can control who someone is or isn't interested in...

[But yeah, it gets pretty tiring, she doesn't explicitly confirm. Especially when some of them she'd honestly totally be down to accept, but...]

But it's so much, right? I'd get super tired of that. No wonder you wanna come up here and get some time for yourself.

[ But then she shakes her head and mimes that lips zipped gesture from before again. ]

And it'll keep being yours! I mean it, I'm not gonna tell anyone. The last thing you need is a million people up here kyaa kyaa-ing over you every single second of the day.

All right. Thanks for returning this, uh... [ Did she even say what her name was...? ]

Oh, I'm Kougami Kyouko! I guess I probably should've introduced myself a little sooner, yeah?

[ She's got a cheesy, self deprecating sort of grin. ]

You can call me Kougami or Kyouko, I don't mind!

Well, thanks for not being weird about any of this, Kougami.

[ For interacting with her like a normal human being, you are rewarded with a rare Ryouma Smile. ]

[ c--cute........... ]

Honestly, if you think this is weird, I'd hate to see what you think normal is in comparison.

I mean, you saw me ballroom dancing by myself on the roof and just went "oh, okay" about it, which isn't what I would expect from that situation.

Different strokes for different folks? [ kyouko, no ] And besides, everyone in my class is kinda...

[ She wrinkles up her nose. ]

Saionji-san's got that thing about bread and Aonuma-san says she has a condition where she'll break out in hives if the boys come near her. Ballroom dancing is pretty tame.

Wait, hives, really? She's not just shy?

That's what she says, anyway. I've never actually seen it happens but Kasumi-chan swears down she did in middle school. She had to go to the hospital and everything, apparently.

I didn't know that was a real thing. I wonder how her skin can tell whether someone's a boy or a girl...

Maybe it's like a chemical reaction or something... like how some people start swelling when they get insect bites and stuff. You'd think the doctors would wanna investigate that!

Or maybe it's a stress thing. Like, she's afraid of guys, and the panic reaction affects her body somehow.

Edited 2017-10-01 14:55 (UTC)

You think? I kinda wanna test it out and see how it works... maybe it's a placebo thing? Or something-symptomatic, you know, where it's all in your head?

[ You've gone and given her an idea. How could you. ]

As soon as I get back to class, I gotta ask her about it!

Wait, wait! If you just ran up and asked her all these questions, don't you think that would be kind of embarrassing?

Not really? What's embarrassing about asking a few questions?

[ -> the point

kyouko's head <- ]

It's not asking questions, I just mean... everyone has parts of themselves that they don't like talking about, right?

[ DOT DOT DOT ]

Hm...

I guess? I'd always figured if she didn't want to talk about it, she wouldn't've told us about it in the first place? But I guess she had to let the boys know not to come near her.

[ah.]

...I guess if she's already talked to you about it, it's probably fine, then.
