I say join. Since Maribel "asked" so nicely.

I imagine this CYOA will have shades of Deus Ex?

Hm. I'll bite. YI it is, then.

>>164502
Kind of, though a little less grimdark.

Satori Power Incorporated- Perfectly safe, we promise you.

Bringing power to the people. One nuclear fusion at a time.

[x]Yagokoro Pharmaceuticals- On the way to curing death itself.

[X]Satori Power Incorporated- Perfectly safe, we promise you.

This has shades of being used as reactor shielding. God, I love Paranoia.

Gonna wait for a few more votes before writing shall commence

[X]Satori Power Incorporated- Perfectly safe, we promise you.

Once you enter the underground, you'll never leave.

[x] Yagokoro Pharmaceuticals- On the way to curing death itself.

Big pharma is where it's at.

Actually, I need to catch some Zs, update coming tomorrow afternoon.

>no Hakugyokuro
Goddammit.

[X] Yagokoro Pharmaceuticals- On the way to curing death itself.

[X]Satori Power Incorporated- Perfectly safe, we promise you.

WARNING, WARNING!

[X]Satori Power Incorporated- Perfectly safe, we promise you.
Well, since it IS safe...

[x] Yakumo Innovations

[x] Yakumo Innovations

Because Maribel

[X]Yagokoro Pharmaceuticals- On the way to curing death itself.

[x]Satori Power Incorporated- Perfectly safe, we promise you.

Underground youkai? Sounds safe to me

>>164501
Yagokoro.

M-muh immortality.

[x]Satori Power Incorporated.
Confirm?

[x]Satori Power Incorporated

6(Satori)-4(Yagokoro)-2(Yakumo)-0(anyone else), by my count. 7 for Satori counting this vote.

It moves to 7(Satori)-4(Yagokoro)-4(Yakumo)-0(anyone else) if non-[x] statements are counted.

You remember Satori, while she’s hospitable and mildly eccentric, you can’t say too much else about her. It would be a good idea to align yourself with an unassuming power player. Besides, Satori runs a power company, what would she possibly have that someone else could want? Free electricity? Uranium? You wave such silly notions aside, and resuming mentally taking your pick. You’ll probably never hear the end of it from Maribel if you were to pick something besides Yakumo Innovations. Oh well. Her facial expression falters ever so slightly as you tell her of your choice.

You hope that you haven’t fucked yourself over.

“Auuu, I thought that note would urge you to make the right choice. Oh well, lemme send you the application sheet anyways” Shit, you feel kinda bad now. You take a look at the application Maribel sent, some of the entries seem odd, but you pass off as nothing. Danmaku? You suppose you’re decent at it, but what kind of job needs you to have experience in danmaku?

Are we supposed to fill those in? Are there any guidelines or restrictions at all?

>>164552
Yeah, fill those in. As for stats, max is 6 and min is 2, you have 25 points to distribute.

>>164558
We probably need more background information before we can start deciding on the character. For instance:
How long ago was the barrier smashed?
Was there any indication or build-up to the event within the barrier?
How did Gensokyo and the outside world react to each other right after the barrier's dissolution?
How do they see each other now?
What limitations do we have on the kind of youkai we can decide to be (you know, to preclude the chance that the votes somehow swing towards tentacle monsters or speshul snowflake WEREKIRIN XDD, et cetera)?
What guidelines are there for spellcards (do we actually need to describe bullet patterns? Or just magical effects? Or just give a name)?

And so on.

And, to be honest, stories that revolve around ability scores tend not to end too well. You oughtn't to rely on them too much, or perhaps run the numbers yourself and just ask us for "two things you're good at and one thing you're not" or something like that.

That said, would you still like us to try to make a character from scratch right now?

>>164559
Background dump incoming. I'll get rid of the stat system, and ask you what you abilities and shortcomings are and see how that works out.

As for spellcards, bullet patterns and effects would be nice.

Anything here: http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Category:Bestiary aside from divinity, or the Yama should be fine.

Also, no immortality.

While pocket dimensions similar to Gensokyo have remained out of the public eye for nearly two centuries, their existence was not completely unknown. Certain groups knew and desired what was in said dimensions, namely, magic.

Two years ago, without forewarning, they shattered the barriers sealing the aforementioned dimensions away. The groups went missing around the same time.

The youkai of Gensokyo were forced to integrate with the human population. Many of them did not take this well. Many reverted to their feral instincts, and hunted humans, both for sport, and food.

The more benign ones, however, usually went to Yukari, for help in integration. Yukari masked their abilities, as well as danmaku from the naked eye.

Racial tensions run high between the youkai and humans. It is not uncommon for corporations run by Gensokyo natives to put youkai in higher ranking positions over a human.

How about being a bakeneko? Satori is surrounded by pets anyways and I don't think she would decline us. She loves animals and such after all. And being a Bakeneko or nekomata maybe could make us a bit special now when she already got a special crow and a kasha. Being a cat youkai could also result in good terms with Orin.

Maybe that was a bit metagaming but my personal opinion thinks that it would be fun to as an animal youkai. We had a feral part of mind right?

>>164572

That's a good idea. What about personal abilities? What if we have something that fits with us choosing a job at a power company? Electrical, for instance. Or thermal, if the energy is what I think it is...

>>164574

Yeah, I read up a little about nekomata and bakenekos. In mythology they are said to be able to do tings like make zombies, enter peoples dreams, eat anything despite it's size and cast ghostly flame.

If we should go after a ability that is good for our job maybe it would be good with ghostly flames? Or we could skip going after what actuall stories say and go after thermal or magnetic energies

We should be an Inugami

Still awaiting background dump.

However, sans additional info, I move that we play 「Evil Magician Who Surmounts All Borders」, Motoori Kosuzu. Should I elaborate?

This was the dump:
