- What species is your character?: Youkai. Border youkai to be specific.
- Would other characters be able to sense your character's species? It is possible, given that the claws and potentially fangs/slitted pupils are definitely Not Human, but Yukari hides all of the above well. She, essentially, looks perfectly human. Otherwise it's hard to sense a youkai as a youkai (they are often mistaken both ways, though usually youkai for humans, even by people who deal with youkai a lot), you can sense their powers, and that's about it.
- Psychic abilities, reading souls, reading minds and thoughts, imprinting, subliminal stimuli and others: To some extent. If it's very, very subtle there's a chance she wouldn't notice it and you could get away with it. But prod too deeply or make your presence known and she will gap your ass right out of her head so fast you won't even know what happened. And then probably kill you.
- Does your character have an ability that others might be able to sense?: This is how, it seems, most people know youkai as youkai. Yes, you can sense her power, and she has either no ability to, or no desire to, mask it. She is very powerful, even as youkai go; her abilities have been compared to those of gods before, so if you're sensitive to it, she probably sticks out like a sore thumb. What it is, however, may not be so specific... given her power is essentially whatever the hell she wants it to be.
- Is your chararacter surrounded by something else that might somehow 'stick'?: Those who are really sensitive to magic and power level may be a little unsettled by her presence given that her very ability is a perversion of the natural order of things and a potential threat to the stability of existence. But even if someone is just a normal human, she is a very, very old youkai, and she probably just... gives off an aura of someone who has been around a long time and knows things... knows a lot of things. She probably just feels like an old, powerful being.
- Threadhopping with this character - yes/no/other?: She'll probably do it to you so feel free to reciprocate. Unless it's specifically private.
- Hugging this character?: Sure thing! Confuse her. :3
- Giving this character a kiss?: Sure, actually. Will probably confuse her unless the situation warrants it in some way.
- Badtouching: Haha, yes, go ahead. If she doesn't particularly expect it or like your character, then said character may expect to get shoved/possibly walloped by a parasol, but feel free to try. |D
- Lovers: Yes, but bear in mind that she is too old for the whole lovey-dovey committed romance relationship of 'let's get married zomg1!11!!!'. So don't expect exclusivity with her. That said she is a fully grown woman that is in touch with her sexuality (somewhat closely, some would argue) and therefore she is open for sexual relations. If she knows your character enough and is interested enough, then feel free to move things in that direction. She is also bisexual, so gender is not an issue in any way.
- Punching this character (provided they can fight back): It's your funeral. But go ahead.
- Is there anything you do not want mentioned near this character?: Anything you say can and will be used to blackmail or troll you later. :3
- Easiest way to get on his good side: Be polite, be entertaining.
- Easiest Way To Get On His Bad Side: Screw with her family, friends, or home.
- Can I Hack His Journal?: If it says hackable, yes. If not, then might not want to. It'll be extremely difficult if you do want to so any character that isn't capable isn't getting in there.
- Can He Hack My Journal?: If it's very lightly locked and she's had some time to play around with/learn how. She's a fast learner..
- Fourth Wall Breakage: Sure, but be prepared to have it done back to you tenfold. Yukari IS a fourth-waller.
- Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/etc?: lol sure. She'll probably do it herself.
- Maim/Murder/Death: It is disgustingly difficult to kill youkai so you can try, but be prepared for the fight of your life. As far as I know physical injuries don't kill most youkai, at least not alone, so unless you have a powerful spiritual ability... enough to weaken her. Either way, be prepared for the fight of your life, and I hope you've brought your +10 Resist Universe Implosion trinket. As for the other side... she probably won't try to kill you unless you irk her in some way, or she's particularly hungry and 'human' is the only thing around to nom on.
- Blood: If you can get to her, you can draw blood, yes. :|a Good luck getting anywhere near her, though.
- Can your character be imprisoned? Yukari cheats reality and can change distances, locks, and everything else. So no, but have fun trying! She will have fun with your attempt.
- Has your character died before? Can other characters pick up on this? Nope!
- Is it okay to kill your character, given the proper discussion/circumstances? It is, as I said, disgustingly difficult to kill most youkai, and I'm not entirely sure you can do so on physical injuries alone (magicians are a notable exception, as well as fairies, it seems). The most one can do is be human or divine, because spiritual attacks are Super Effective against these monsters, and also come with a lot of Hi-Potions. The kicker here is that Yukari may have manipulated the boundary of Life and Death and made herself immortal so it may be that you can't kill her at all (won't know until you try, will ya?)
- Influences of Gods: Gensokyo has gods. Well, they have a few gods. Most of the other gods live outside Gensokyo, but she's familiar with them. That said, it's more of a 'she knows and acknowledges their existence as gods' sort of thing. She's not particularly religious, but given that she can see them and know their divinity, you can expect her to respect them as such.
Powers and abilities: Yukari's ability is to Manipulate All Boundaries. It's ill-defined for a reason, I think, because honestly, I like to translate it as 'her ability is to Do Whatever She Wants'. Read minds? Manipulate the boundaries between one mind and the next. Live forever? Boundary of Life and Death. Need to get somewhere fast? Close the gap between Here and There by moving the boundariess together. What is a hemorrhage but the severing and separation of two bits of flesh - gap that closed and it's healed. Yukari basically Cheats Reality, as Suika once said 'her very existence is a lie', and so her very powers are essentially to undermine and change reality as she sees fit. She is, however, very responsible with them, and for the sheer amount of what she can do, she does hold them back to match her opponent in a fight rather than just overwhelm them.
