Shinmyoumaru Sukuna | Touhou Project
Player Contact: Plurk:
Characters you have in the game: None.
Character Name: Shinmyomaru Sukuna (superhero name: Inchling Girl)
Character Canon: Touhou Project
Canon Background: All hail the Touhou wiki!
Omegafriends Background: Shinmyomaru's people came to the planet from a dying world many years ago. Their ship landed in Ancient Japan, where they created a settlement for themselves. For the most part, they kept to themselves. However their leader, Issun Boshi, ventured out into the world at some point and made himself famous as a hero. Legend told of a mallet he received called the Miracle Mallet, which let him grow taller and shorter with ease. In reality, he always had this device, for it was a piece of technology invented by his people and only usable by people with his DNA. He kept it in his possession, and eventually after his passing, his people faded into obscurity and folklore. A small population of them eventually immigrated to America, hitching a ride on one of many boats carrying Japanese immigrants. Shinmyoumaru's grandmother was among them.
Fast forward to the present day. Shinmyoumaru Sukuna, young heir to Issun-Boshi and future leader of her people, came home from a journey to town one day to find the town in shambles. In trying to find who was responsible, she ran into a seemingly human woman, who told her that she'd witnessed a group of humans come in with industrial equipment and trash the place for no better reason than to be jerks. Angered, Shinmyoumaru swore to bring justice to her people on the humans for being so callously destructive, and with the woman's prompting decided to use the Miracle Mallet to take her revenge.
But it was a trick. The woman was, in reality, the evil villain Reverso, who hated all things people thought was good and wanted to turn the whole world upside down. Having found out about the Miracle Mallet and its restrictions, she decided to use the young princess to obtain her goals. And for a while, it worked; they enacted a terrible scheme where they would make humans tiny and force them to acknowledge their power. Then the Omegafriends arrived, and an epic battle ensued! Up became down, small became large, large became small! But eventually, Shinmyomaru lost, and blurted out her reasons for attacking. The Omegafriends tried to convince her that humans weren't all bad, though. Slowly, Shinmyomaru began to see their side... and then Reverso accidentally blurted out the truth in her frustration at Shinmyomaru's wavering determination: SHE had trashed the town. She tried to take it back, but it was too late; Shinmyomaru now realized what had happened, and she merely sat in shock as the Omegafriends drove Reverso away, with Reverso swearing revenge someday.
Shinmyomaru helped her people rebuild, but felt true remorse. She had caused genuine harm to the humans! But as they rebuilt, she found a book in their library detailing the great deeds of Issun-Boshi, and how he had helped humanity despite being small and seemingly insignificant. Suddenly, she knew what she had to do. She had to make restitution for her evil deeds, even if they had been well-intentioned. She had to help PROTECT people from now on, humans and Inchlings alike. And that was how Shinmyomaru, aka Inchling Girl, joined the Omegafriends.
Personality: "Is your Steam password really 'gullible7'?" - this kid 2014
Shinmyomaru is a very well-meaning young girl. She genuinely wants to help the poor and disadvantaged, and is willing to do everything in her power to help if she thinks a grave injustice is being committed. This includes even attempting to stage a revolution in order to try to bring power to the people; if Shinmyomaru had a political party, you could probably claim she was a Socialist fairly easily. She feels gratitude towards those willing to help, and a reluctant resignation to fight those who oppose her. In short, she's got what it takes to be a superhero.
There's just one small (HAW) problem: she's naive as hell. Seija was able to convince her that youkaikind (or, in the alternate setting for this game, humanity) was responsible for her peoples' downfall, and rather than question why this tall person was telling her to rebel against other tall people, she accepted things without question. If she thinks somebody means well, then she'll automatically assume they're telling the truth and are on her side. If she's told some people are bad, then she'll assume they're bad until she has some sort of better evidence. This makes her very easy to mislead, which as one can imagine can be very problematic. This doesn't mean she can't LEARN from her mistakes, but it means she's inclined to believe people way too easily unless she otherwise finds out they're untrustworthy.
She is, however, relatively intelligent for her age. Naive, yes, but she's quick to pick up on things and make hypotheses. In canon, she's easily able to deduce the possibility of other power sources for tsukumogami when some begin running amok in a bookstore based on the knowledge that other tsukumogami continued to live after the Mallet ran out of power, although she was not educated on the subject enough to come to any more solid conclusions. That she was also able to even begin formulating a revolution in the first place also indicates a sense of charisma, although admittedly that may have been more due to the mallet's power than her own persuasiveness. She is royalty of her people, though, so some charisma may be expected.
However, she is still a child, and is inclined towards childish mannerisms and speech. She's easily cheered by things going her way, and easily excited by good things. She's also easily upset by bad things, and easily depressed by sad things. In short, she has a child's emotional range, which is to say somewhat volatile. Still, she can focus when she needs to -- and when she is focused, she can be quite powerful.
Powers: Most of Shinmyomaru's power is consolidated in the Miracle Mallet, a peculiar tool keyed to her bloodline which allows her to shrink or grow things at will. It regenerates energy at a certain rate, which allows Shinmyomaru to maintain the size of a human child for a nearly indefinite period of time. Using it to shrink others or grow things, however, or growing herself to even larger (or, on very rare occasions, smaller) sizes, will drain the power at increasing rates depending on how vastly different from the original size something is. When fully drained, it takes a full three days to recharge, during which time she's stuck in her baseline size of a few inches.
The original Miracle Mallet in canon was partially cursed; too much use of it could cause unintentional effects such as making tools come to life or youkai more aggressive. For simplicity's sake, the Miracle Mallet in this setting lacks this downside, but also lacks the ridiculous range of effects the original Mallet had, sticking entirely to the growing/shrinking mechanic.
Sample: Here's one from the test drive.
Notes: Reversor is based upon another character from Touhou canon, Seija Kijin. If a Seija gets apped, I'll want to discuss this origin with the mun.
