@Black Alice Sorry, I was worried that the discussion was getting a little heated at the time >.<


I didn't think it was. Are you sure you're not reading into things a little too much?
Guys it's just a game, let's chill with the name calling and be friends here.


U-Um, I don't think anybody called anybody names. I'm not even that mad, I'm just waiting for a response from the GM.

I may make another character if the GM isn't willing to discuss this one~
Alright. Let me rephrase yet again: I'm sorry, but your character is rejected, as you are unwilling to make the changes I said, and are instead choosing to argue with me.


If you're going to start trying to justify yourself, and then stop once the other person brings their points up for discussion, why even start. I find your rejection arbitrary, but it's your thread, so it's not a big deal. The problem is that you could have just said "Your sheet is denied because I say so" and I would have accepted it, but you chose to try to present it logically, which is why I tried to debate you logically in the first place.

I'm not arguing, you're just not being reasonable.
Merely existing would require her to grow and adapt, this is basic psychology, and while you mention using human terms for non-human beings, she is fundamentally a human in terms of mindset if she was human once.


Most ghosts, who have been her primary company with very few human interactions, are really stuck in the past in terms of their ways of thinking. Child ghosts, even from decades or centuries past, still act entirely like they did when they first "died". To begin with, the essence of being a ghost is of being "attached to the world, but not belonging to it".

You say that she would "have to" grow and adapt, but that's just straight up wrong. Growth and adaptation are triggered due to a need to progress, due to adversity, or due to willpower to succeed. Ghosts experience none of this. There is no consequence for anything they do, they have no desire to move forwards or accomplish real goals. They're just shadows on a screen, remnants, imprints of a once-living soul left on the world, doomed to wander for an eternity or until they cease thinking. Whichever comes first.

You are saying that in a picture of a small girl, she should age over time. You are applying the psychology of living things to something that is not living. Do you see why you're wrong?
it would be impossible to remain a child mentally if you exist for several thousand years.


Can you cite your sources for this? I seem to have missed that part when I was taking Necromancy in high school.
@Black Alice

The age can't be several thousand years old, there's no reason for her to be in a school at that point. 14-18 please. My only other concern is the "superhero alter ego"
Do you mean she pretends to be a superhero and dresses up or that she actually is a superhero? She can't be an actual superhero, this isn't that type of RP.

The hordes of ghosts within her body is an interesting concept, I like it. But just for clarification, does this equate to her only having a bunch of inner voices within her and she herself is just a ghost?


1. You were VERY clear that this is the first school catering to non-human/mythical beings to exist. Using this with the fact that she died a child, logically, it makes sense that she would be attending school now that there's one for her to attend. Using human metrics to determine age on beings that are clearly beyond human biology is not effective. That's why her age is "N/A", because regardless of if she has "existed" for several thousand years, she is still not really several thousand years old, maturity-wise. She doesn't have a real physical body. She's a ghost.

2. The former. It is more for use as a gag, rather than for plot-oriented reasons.

3. She is, functionally, "just a ghost". Although, she is pretty strong for a ghost, due to her spiritual strength as a human. It doesn't give her incredible world-busting lich powers, it's more like having a bunch of ghost buddies chillin' inside of you. Good for one-man poker nights.

EDIT: Hi @Turboshitter! Nice to see you around.

I made a spook.

How long do you anticipate before the characters are given something to do?


If nobody interacts with Reimu by the next round of posting, she's going to go out and start doing her thing. Which is destroying things and fighting people. So, at least you have that to look forward to.
Um, I think we already figured out that the GM doesn't read sheets. This isn't news.
~Hakurei Reimu~
Sky above Mahora
While they had all technically "arrived" at the same time, some of the group were obviously quicker to react to others, and some even had abilities or attributes that allowed them to recover quicker. Among those select few, Reimu was likely the most capable, and so she had no issue stabilizing from her descent long before she actually hit the ground. Instead, she allowed her innate ability to take over, causing her to slow to a gradual halt and remain floating a kilometer or so above the ground.

The sight laid out before her was troublesome. "This... isn't Gensokyo," the Miko observes aloud, taking in the sights sprawling out in every direction. If it were just her sight that was confusing her, she might have thought she was trapped in some sort of dream or illusion, but she could feel right away that she was no longer in the Hakurei Shrine, or anywhere else in Gensokyo. The reason was that she couldn't feel the familiar presence of the Hakurei Border, or any of the other qualities that defined the composition of the land she was familiar with.

"Being transported to some strange place on a whim... why do I get the feeling that I know who is behind this?" Reimu lets out a slight, exasperated sigh, and directs her gaze to the sky above. She could feel something, a faint presence of whatever force brought her here, but she lacked the means to trace her route back. She surveys the land below, and the horizons on either side, searching for any landmarks of note while she mulls over the situation in her head.

Today is shrine cleaning day, and if I'm gone for so much as a day, I come back to find all sorts of freeloaders. I have to find my way back to Gensokyo, but it doesn't seem like that'll be too easy... unless I can find the border of this place, or defeat its master. She considers the make of this strange, misshapen realm, observing the unfamiliar architecture and similar features of the city below. At the very least, it didn't seem like she was in the human world. She must have been spirited away from Gensokyo, possibly in a similar fashion to the interaction between the borders of Gensokyo and the Capital of the Moon.

"Well, there's no use in sitting around here. I suppose I'll just go and find whoever's behind this incident!"

Yes, thinking of it that way was good. If she treated this like any other incident that she was forced to deal with on a weekly basis, it would help her focus on the problem at hand. Ignore the unnecessary thoughts, all she has to do is go defeat whoever brought her here, and force them to send her back.

With this in mind, she descends towards the location she was headed during her arrival, coming to a stop above a small group of other living people. The first thing she does upon seeing them was reach for a few of her amulets, but she quickly realized even from this height that they were just as confused as she was. There seem to be a few explosions going on down there... well, it was none of her business.

...

Still, they might have some useful information. So, deciding against her better judgement to go ahead and speak to them, she lowers herself to shouting distance.

"Hey, you people down there. Do you have any idea what's going on?"

Hopefully, she could at least gather some relevant details, before heading on her way. And, if any of them wanted to tag along... well, she wouldn't stop them.
