Call Me Out: Edition 2017

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.

[She's going to do it. Yes, this time she's going to do it.

She's seen that village a countless amount of times. More times than Medicine could ever count, really. In truth, it isn't really all that much, but it's the thought of all of these times she's seen humans in this place that makes her come back, time and time again. This time, she'll cover the village in fog, and show humans how wrong they were to mistreat dolls.

Of course, Medicine still had to try to keep her nerve. Too many humans would be too hard to try and poison. They'd break her and hurt Su-san. But as she finds her way to the village, she catches her eyes on a human. ...She thinks it's a human? It probably is, but--]

Su-san, what should I do? Should I go? You aren't very strong this year...is this a good idea?

[...she talks very, very loud, to her credit. She'll probably be easily noticed before she drops down, but Medicine doesn't think like that. No.

Medicine floats on down from her perch, going to the person in question.]

You're a human, right?

[...that's a totally adjusted question to ask.]

[Mamizou blinks, looking down at the child who just descended ominously in front of her. Say what you want about Gensokyo, there's just no end to the different kinds of youkai you'll meet there.]

Reckon you'll get some funny looks, asking questions like that around the village.

But are you, though?

[Medicine goes a little bit closer, tilting her head.]

I know that village has humans in it. But you're not in the village.

Well, I suppose you're right about that.

[She sits down cross-legged on the ground, to get herself closer to eye-to-eye with Medicine.]

So, what do you think? Do I seem like a human to you, or not?

God Tree? More like Massive Chalice. Standing at the heart of the nation for the last one hundred and thirty years. Only one hundred and seventy more before it gains the power to destroy the divine messengers forever. That's the story, anyways.

The battles are long and hard, when they come, and little awaits the chosen heroes between them other than endless training or making sure there is a new generation of heroes to take up the task when they get old.

Sometimes, when the heroes who protect this land waver in their mission, they come to speak to the chalice itself for advice or encouragement, for the artifact is imbued with intelligence. It speaks with two voices and two distinct personalities. A male voice, and a female voice.

[...That isn't what she was expecting, uh.

Well. She's not running away? That's a small token in Mamizou's favor of not being human. But really, she's stupid and can't tell. She looks human, but isn't running away...]

You look like one. But it's hard to tell. You don't have ears like the rabbits, or wings like the sparrow.

You should be there, though, if you are. Right? That's where humans are.

[She shrugs. No point in making this TOO easy.]

There are humans all over the place nowadays. You've got to at least know about the shrine maidens, right? Maybe I'm just going to visit her.

--Shrine maidens?

[That gets Medicine to perk up almost instantly. She only knows of one, admittedly, but...]

But she doesn't like youkai at all. I think...you're a human, then.

[...oh boy, she looks like she's ready to throw down.]

I don't think you'll be visiting her today.

[Tsk tsk. Kids these days need to learn to respect their elders.]

Sorry, but...

[Mamizou is surrounded by a haze of mysterious smoke, before emerging in her true form.]

...your intuition could use a little work.

[...oh. Well. Medicine backs away from the haze, and goes wide-eyed when Mamizou comes out. To say the least she's...uh...]

Su-san, I don't think this is so good...

[And it was at that moment, that Medicine Melancholy knew she fucked up.

But no one could ever say that Medicine made a single good decision in her life. Though wary, a cloud of poison starts to form in Medicine's hands as a threat.]

...That doesn't matter. Human or not, you're not like me. I'll shower you and this forest in poison!

[Reassuring hand gestures!]

Whoa, whoa! Since we're both youkai, there's no reason for us to be fighting, right?

[...There's a bit of a pause while she considers this.

Medicine hates humans. Medicine doesn't know much about youkai. She wants to get to the human village and cover it in poison and kill everyone. But she still kind of jumped the gun on this, didn't she?

Her hands go down and the poison dissipates, and Medicine just looks...confused. But that seems legit, at least? She's not a human, so they shouldn't fight. She shouldn't waste poison, either.]

...Yeah, I guess so. I don't think Su-san would like it either. I'm supposed to get humans.

[A beat.]

I'm sorry for assuming. I was wrong.

No offense taken. [ Pipe puff. ]

So, why do you have it out for the humans, anyway? There's plenty of trouble you can cause without attacking the human village directly.

Hey Orion

I know you mentioned you were always interested in possible outside plugins

But have you ever considered

That you might be going too far

[With the message from the AI healer comes a single picture attached to it.]

I literally fail to see the issue here.

Don't humans need to actually be able to see the battlefield in order to understand what's going on on the battlefield?

I mean I know that I could probably figure out my way through that mess but even you would have your limits

Listen. When you're a healer, raid management is about information management more than actual fighting. The DPS and tanks need to know where they are and where the boss is, but for me, it's 5x more important to know how dead everyone is.
I just need enough spatial awareness to not stumble into any AOEs.

I know what I'm getting you for your birthday

It seems like it's your #aesthetic

[Pic attached.]

I fucking dare you. I will wear it with a straight face.

Do you one better, I'll figure out how to import custom textures so you can proudly wear it in-game

[Mostly an empty threat because she doesn't have the privileges, but it'd be funny to watch.]

Because humans are bad. [Medicine's look shifts to a far more bitter one at the answer.] For everything they've done to dolls like me, they're bad. I want to kill them. And with Su-san's help, I could do it.

[Loooong pipe puff.]

It's not that I don't sympathize, you know? But if you want to get revenge against humans, I'd recommend you make do with the ones who wander out of their territory. If you cause trouble in the village, that'll cause trouble for everyone.

Obviously I meant in-game. Who the hell would wear that in public?

Mimori Togo was not the first hero chosen by the Chalice, nor would she be the last. When the call came, she answered it with enthusiasm. When the Vertex became powerful enough to kill her best friend, the Chalice gave them new powers to fight back. When she lost her legs, the Chalice granted her modified powers that would allow her to keep fighting regardless.

Over time in each generation, the sacrifices add up. From ground level, it can feel pretty bleak. Thusly does Togo find herself in the Grail chamber, otherwise alone. She lowers her head, as a seated proxy of the traditional kneel.

"I have come to seek audience with the Chalice."

Humans shouldn't even be here anyway. All they do is get into trouble and make everything worse.

[Medicine's determined when she says that, shaking her head fiercely. ...There's a bit of noise there, likely from old joints.]

I have to, but...I'm outnumbered. I don't like it.
