Other Characters Played: Almaz von Almandine Adamant
Preferred Housing: N/A
Character Name: Yamaxanadu, Eiki Shiki (Yamaxanadu is a title, so her name is more or less Judge of Paradise, Eiki Shiki)
Character Series: Touhou Project
Character Age: At least a few thousand years, looks in her mid twenties.
Background:
Her Touhou Wiki profile
Her Perfect Memento in Strict Sense profile
Personality:
Eiki was once a Jizou statue before she gained enough faith to be promoted to a Yama (Judge of hell). Her actions support her origins quite well, as she is a kind person who wishes to help others. She is optimistic, fearless and gentle, but she is also persistent. Since she is now a Yama, she knows the fate people are living towards, and what sort of judgments they will receive in hell if they were to die soon. Whenever someone is going down a bad path, she likes to go visit them and warn them. Usually this leads to a long winded and boring lecture. We see this behavior at the beginning of her scenario, where she travels around Gensokyo to ask those she's talked to before if they've been heeding her advice.
Though she means well, her remarks can be quite scathing, and she tends to embellish the punishment she says people would get if they were tried as they currently are. She does this with the hope that it will scare them into trying to be a better person. She sees nothing wrong with this, and can be quite stubborn in her practices, even though everyone else would like her to go away and shut up.
Her good nature and will to help people does not cloud her judgment though, all before her are judged by how they lived, and she takes no preference when sentencing. In these cases she is very stern and unmoving. She is also stern with her subordinate Komachi, and can be harsh, much harsher than with others. But this is because she wants Komachi to do better, and expects high standards from her. You could say she is harsher on her because she cares more. When she finds Komachi slacking off near the end of the game, she tells her she had higher expectations of her.
Ambiguity has no place in Eiki's world, things are one way, or another, with no exceptions. Due to this, grey matters make her a bit uneasy.
Most people in Gensokyo avoid her, especially the youkai. They don't like the idea of running into the yama which tends to leave Eiki very isolated, though this doesn't bother her at all. She still goes to people she feels need help, if they want it or not. This behavior makes up for almost the entire game, she goes from one place to another in search of different people to lecture in order for them to avoid a bad sentence when they die. And though she needs to be forceful with everyone (since each encounter leads to a battle) each one changes just a little bit for the better after she leaves.
Abilities:
She has the ability to see in black and white, that is, in good and bad. She knows when something is good, and when something is bad. Of course, this is by Buddhist definition and not by simple morality. She can also see all the sins a person has committed in their lifetime using a special mirror, but it takes some effort and can be tiering to use it too much.
There is also the ability to conjure up a persons past sins and use them against them, such as bringing a mirror image of a person who will fight against them, or people who were wronged in the past being used to punish them. This is very rarely used, and is pretty much excluded to situations were she wishes to make a person reflect on themselves and what they've been doing. There's only one instance of her ever using this ability.
As a Touhou character she also has spell cards and can use danmaku. Her "bullets" take the form of the rod of remorse, the standard tool used to punish a soul after it's died. Traditionally the sin of the deceased is written on it. In the words of Yukari, she is stronger than Reimu, Yukari and Yuyuko combined.
As a yama Eiki is outside the confines of the reincarnation cycle, which makes her almost untouchable by most of the other characters. Her threat analysis is considered low though, as she has no intention of ever harming anyone, and her morality prevents her from causing harm. Since she is a creature of absolute balance and only does "right" as a judge, the full extent of her abilities are never seen. Though yama in general are considered a high level threat.
I have written more detailed information on her spell cards and none spell cards here if necessary.
Sample Entry:
After spending several days in this city, I am highly disappointed with how it's been set up. The method for choosing families is completely incompatible, at least consider the age and personality of a person before assigning them a role. An eighteen year old should not have a 17 year old child. Furthermore, it seems purposefully antagonistic to put people who will not get along under the same roof. I don't know what sort of goal is being attempted here, but at the very least try and make your set up proper.
Right now, based on what I see before me, all I can do is judge black. This is a lack of effort and lack of foresight.
