Well, I'll concern myself with that Alucard form after it's done. But, right, let's get to doing GM things here.

@Izurich: Hey, long time no see! With regards to Flan... [GM Things]

@Izurich: Hm...

Thinking on the two, I think that Remi (funnily enough) is probably the more feasible option so long as "manipulation of fate" is brought into line. Marisa's big problem in this setup is that she has too much firepower to start with (I really don't want to think about balancing encounters around Master/Double/Final Spark), so Remi is probably better in comparison.

@Izurich: Okay, might be funny to say, but I think you went a bit overboard with the nerfs to Remi. You could opt to bring her strength back up because we do have characters above that level, healing factor up a bit, blood magic up to the level of giving her access to her full spellcard arsenal if she chooses to do so...

Or we could play the 'Remi needs character progression because reasons' card if you think that'd be fun. Up to you.

@Vlad Tepes: In addition to the queries Vita has, I want to ask if you would be opposed to not having access to the shield specifically? While the other two give access to strong offensive and defensive capabilities, only the shield offers any form of near-impervious instantaneous defense on a whim.

I thiiiiink I have an excuse for why Remi in particular got the short end of the stick

• Name: Konpaku Youmu
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: "If it's for Yuyuko-sama, I won't lose!" Youmu is pretty small, at under five feet.
• Personality: A calm, collected, and serious figure. This is the attitude that Konpaku Youmu attempts to portray at all times. To her credit, it isn't as if this demeanor is a falsehood in its entirety. The half-phantom samurai is dedicated and serious about her duty. The way in which thinks of herself and her training is quite serious. And she isn't some fool, lacking utterly in intelligence and wit, either. But she is still prone to being exasperated or confused when presented with strange or difficult situations, sometimes opting with a sigh to simply move ahead rather then attempt to deal with them. While she can figure things out and puzzle out the details, sometimes she would rather be done with it with a slash of her blade instead. This straightforward demeanor can sometimes lead to her not thinking as much as she should, but when Youmu stops to think she proves herself to be quite intelligent. And indeed, at most times, she is a dutiful and serious warrior. Her loyalty to Saigyouji Yuyuko is unquestioning and absolutely, but she also has a dislike of general cruelty and those who would act evil for their own sake. Without the direct guidance of her mistress, it's likely Youmu will behave in a manner suited to her morality and thus against those who would pursue such endeavors. She is also reluctant to use lethal force against sapient beings unless absolutely necessary, in order to defend herself or others. Her chief concern is always her service to and the wellbeing of her mistress. In spite of being half-phantom, serving a ghost, and possessing weapons that can destroy ghosts, Youmu has a fear of ghost stories that can shatter her otherwise prideful and brave demeanor. Otherwise, however, she is highly unlikely to relent in battle and possesses a strong pride in her skill and weaponry.
  
  This strong pride, however, means she feels any setbacks all the more keenly. Failure causes Youmu to become withdrawn, and she is quite likely to question her own worthiness. This can even cause her to become depressed and obsessive over training, in the belief that it's the only way she can make up for her training. To Youmu, failure not only reflects upon herself but also upon her mistress and her family line, and thus she has to work all the harder to try and make up for faltering even once.
• Brief History: Born into the Konpaku family, service to the Princess of the Netherworld, Saigyouji Yuyuko, was set to be Youmu's duty from birth. Indeed, she was trained by her grandfather to this end, and relentlessly sought to improve herself up to her appointment to Yuyuko's service and beyond. This ideal was drilled into her, but so was pride in her bloodline and her service. Even if she wasn't sure how to handle the eccentric ghost's behavior at first(and she still isn't exactly). Her loyalty was absolute regardless, even when it came to the theft of spring to force a mysterious cherry tree to bloom purely so that her mistress could revive the one buried beneath her. Her failure to secure her objective, and her fear over what could have happened if she had succeeded formed contradictory feelings within her and sent her into a depressive state for a short time after the incident was resolved. Since that point, Youmu was involved in resolving multiple incidents herself.
• Universe of Origin: Touhou Project
• Equipment: Youmu's two chief pieces of equipment are her unbreakable youkai-forged blades, Roukanken and Hakurouken. Roukanken is a long-bladed katana with a cutting age sufficient to split apart even immaterial beings such as phantoms. Without magical protection, even stone or sturdy steel can be cleaved apart. 'The things that my Roukanken cannot cut are next to none' is not an empty boast. However, magical defenses can prove to be an obstacle and deflect or block Roukanken. Hakurouken is a shorter katana, a wakizashi with spiritual capabilities. While it cannot instantly force spirits to experience Nirvana in this world, it can mount a direct spiritual attack upon them and even bypass possessed vessels to damage them directly.
• Abilities: As a half-phantom Youmu is far longer-lived then an ordinary human. Despite looking like she's no older then her mid-teens at most and possessing youth to match she is already likely somewhere in her 50s. This extends to her healing abilities. While she is not capable of regeneration on the level of youkai, serious injuries are far easier for her to recover from. As a half-phantom, a part of her is embodied in the form of a drifting, ghostly phantom half that floats beside her. Normally, this phantom half and become her duplicate in order to attack in concert with her for some techniques. However, due to a spiritual injury, this is not possible until the injury has healed. This injury also inhibits Youmu in some other ways, such as her agility. While she can still move incredibly swiftly, she cannot reach her top speed for longer then a single second, or else her phantom half will 'fall behind' and risk far more serious metaphysical damage. Until she is fully recovered, she must limit herself accordingly. Still, she is incredibly agile, and the speed at which she can swing her swords is not affected. Indeed, Youmu is a highly skilled and capable swordswoman who can wield her blades both one and two-handed. Oftentimes she wields both Roukanken and Hakurouken at once. She is also capable of danmaku, and can even dull the lethality of her blades to avoid killing a target. Chief among her bloodline's techniques, and Youmu's most powerful attack, is Matsuyoi-Reflecting Satellite Slash. A technique that surpasses the planet itself by utilizing the infinite reflection of light between Roukanken and the moon. This reflection is transformed into an 'infinite edge', allowing Youmu to strike the entire battlefield simultaneously with a searing blade of light. In a single moment, it's as if her sword has truly become infinity. This attack is limited by requiring the moon to be fully visible, and the brief time it takes for her to fully prepare it.
• Other: Due to a spiritual injury, Youmu is incapable of moving at her full speed for longer then a single second at risk of damaging her phantom half further. While she's still extremely, extremely fast, she has to take it easy to avoid the worst outcome until she has fully recovered.

@XoXKieroBombXoX: Discord's only for people who have gotten acceptances. OoC's where most of the character creation/choice stuff will be.

Sorry everyone, but I think I'm gonna drop for now. I'm just not feeling this one, honestly. Thank you for letting me come aboard anyway, even if it was only for a short while. I might come back later if my interest is renewed, but it won't be with Alucard.

Instead, I'm just gonna have our dhampir drift away. Farewell everyone, for now at least.
