[OOC] Profile
Player Name: Nyx
Player LJ: minilovely
Contact: gilded chrysanth [AIM]
Character: Youmu Konpaku
Fandom: Touhou Project
Personality:
Despite appearing to be only in her early teens, Youmu acts much older--though this does not equate to intelligence or even necessarily maturity. She has been described as possessing the world-weary 'lone wolf' persona of a wandering samurai, and her social skills often leave much to be desired. In general, though, she doesn't mean to offend or upset others with her social awkwardness; rather, her bluntness and lack of skill with words makes her sound much more uncaring and dismissive than she actually is. If a misunderstanding has occurred, she always takes pains to correct it.
Though she is basically good-natured and tries not to unnecessarily ruffle anyone's feathers, she has a tendency to aggravate others through no real fault of her own. After all, she can't help that she's... well, not the sharpest tool in the shed, so to speak. Youmu is lacking in both book smarts and common sense, as well as being a bit slow when it comes to taking in new information, so she can be tiring to deal with. She tries to make up for these shortcomings by being a hard worker, however, and succeeds so long as she working at something that doesn't require a great deal of intelligence to accomplish.
In addition, she is steadfast and focused. Though lacking much in the way of tact and subtlety, her serious-minded personality allows her to, generally speaking, work without being distracted from the task at hand. Unfortunately, this same trait causes her to have very little patience for things she deems silly or frivolous, and she often lets her short temper get the better of her despite being otherwise unemotional. When angered or otherwise disadvantaged, she lets her swords do the talking for her rather than bother to puzzle out a more diplomatic solution. Luckily, she's relatively easy to talk down. She doesn't like having to slash people, but views it as the quickest, easiest solution to most problems.
History: Here.
Abilities:
flight- Youmu is capable of flight via levitation.
danmaku- Youmu is capable of engaging in a form of magical combat known as danmaku. Basically, this involves shooting magic bullets of various sizes and shapes at the opponent. As danmaku was designed to be a non-lethal form of combat, the bullets do not usually cause serious harm; however, getting hit by them does result in concussive damage and some pain. (Youmu's danmaku can be seen here.)
swordsmanship- Youmu is also skilled in the art of swordsmanship, though her style is referred to as "incomplete." Basically-she's good, but she's still learning.
