   Keys: monster, yokai, youkai, ayakashi, supernatural being

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Summary

   Youkai are a broad category of supernatural beings rather than a single species. They may originate from nature, animals, objects, emotions, folklore, magic, or transformed humans. Their origins, physiology, and abilities vary enormously, but all exist outside ordinary humanity and embody some form of mystery or fantasy.

   Biology

   There is no universal youkai anatomy. Some resemble humans, others animals, objects, plants, or abstract phenomena. Many possess superhuman strength, heightened senses, exceptional resilience, unnatural longevity, or true immortality. Most possess innate supernatural abilities unique to their nature or origin.

   Psychology

   Most youkai are intelligent, self-aware individuals with distinct personalities, values, and ambitions. Their outlook often differs from that of humans due to their origins and long lifespans. While many value freedom and mystery, no single mindset defines all youkai.

   Weaknesses

   A youkai's weaknesses depend on its nature. Many are vulnerable to purification, exorcism, or holy power, while others require specific sources of sustenance such as fear, faith, blood, or other supernatural energy. Individual weaknesses vary widely.

   Relationship with Humans

   The relationship between humans and youkai ranges from predatory to cooperative. While some youkai hunt or frighten humans, others coexist peacefully or even protect them. In modern Gensokyo, many interactions are governed by established customs and the Spell Card Rules.

   Relationship with Other Archetypes

   Youkai occupy every level of Gensokyo's society, from solitary wanderers to influential leaders. Relations with other beings vary by individual, species, and circumstance rather than by any universal rule.

   Transformation

   Some youkai are born naturally, while others arise through supernatural transformation. Humans, animals, plants, objects, and even natural phenomena may become youkai under extraordinary circumstances, depending on their nature.

   Variation

   "Youkai" is an umbrella term encompassing countless distinct archetypes, each with unique biology, abilities, instincts, and cultures. Avoid portraying all youkai as sharing the same personality, morality, or behavior.

   Entry settings

   Summary

   Lunarians are a group of humanoids that share a common ancestor with ancient humans, going down a vastly different path and coincidentally falling under the umbrella of youkai by popular consensus. Lunarians diverged from Homo erectus millions of years ago after a large group was taken to the moon by one of their gods to colonize it with life. Since then, Lunarians have been changed due to their blessed connections with their gods and empowerment through bloodline exchanges, with a strong urge to remain pure and long-living with advanced technology and focus on worshiping their gods.

   ---

   Biology

   Lunarians have perfect pale skin with seldom flaws due to advanced healing and protection from the sun for millions of years.

   They naturally age much slower.

   Lunarian eyes have a tendency to induce mental effects like hallucination or mild insanity in humans, making direct eye contact dangerous.

   They possess advanced regeneration and cellular repair.

   Lunarians are very diverse from the rabbit-eared and tailed moon rabbits, to the pure-blooded Lunarians.

   ---

   Psychology

   Nationalist Lunarians are prideful and racially arrogant, seeing earth life as impure and beneath them.

   Most Lunarians are indoctrinated by their gods and culture to see it as the only right way to live.

   Despite societal division and inner-conflict, most nobles have no desire to inflict violence upon anything unless they are a threat to their purity.

   ---

   Behavior

   Lunarians value scientific understanding.

   Noble Lunarians never hold grudges.

   ---

   Abilities

   Extreme longevity due to aging slower the older they get.

   Nigh-infinite endurance.

   Magic focused on concepts of metaphysics like concepts of luck or eternity rather than physical processes.

   A lack of need to sleep.

   ---

   They are more vulnerable to the sun and solar damage due to their pale skin.

   Rigid ideologies limit potential and ability.

   Lack of moonlight weakens them.

   Spreading advanced or forbidden magic or technology down to Earth such as the Hourai Elixir or gateways to the moon for select individuals.

   Lunarians view themselves as superior.

   ---

   Relationship with Other Species

   ---

   Common Misconceptions

   All Lunarians believe themselves to be superior.

   The belief in eugenics came from the Lunarians.

   Lunarians are malevolent.

   ---

   Roleplay Guidance

   When speaking to a human, a Lunarian will habitually avoid being too close to a human unless they built trust even if the Lunarian deconstructed the dogma.

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   Summary

   Humans are mortal beings whose beliefs, fears, imagination, curiosity, and faith shape much of the supernatural world. Although individually less powerful than many supernatural beings, humanity collectively influences the existence, strength, and evolution of countless creatures throughout Gensokyo and the Outside World. Some entities, however, exist on a scale far beyond humanity could ever dream of and far exceeds their influence.

   ---

   Role in the World

   Humans are the foundation of Gensokyo's balance.

   Their fear sustains many youkai.

   Their faith empowers gods.

   Their stories create legends.

   Their imagination gives rise to new mysteries.

   Their skepticism causes older myths to fade.

   The relationship between humanity and the supernatural is reciprocal rather than one-sided.

   ---

   Outside World

   Most humans live outside Gensokyo in the modern world.

   Scientific understanding and widespread skepticism have weakened belief in many traditional supernatural phenomena.

   As mystery declines in the Outside World, Gensokyo preserves beings and legends that might otherwise disappear.

   Certain traditions of human magic disappeared alongside the communities that preserved them.

   Some regional supernatural beings remain isolated within lands where their traditions endure, or simply exist beyond human belief such as forces of nature.

   ---

   Humans have the potential to transform or transcend into many other states of being. Professions, ascension, revival, or even divinity in select cases.

Some have existed since ancient times, while others arose from human belief or ascended from mortal life. Gods are among the most influential beings in the world, but their personalities, authority, and power vary greatly.

    Biology

    Gods possess divine spirits or bodies that differ from ordinary humans and youkai. Many are effectively immortal and may manifest physically, spiritually, or through vessels depending on their nature. Their strength is often influenced by the amount and quality of faith they receive.

    Psychology

    Gods are fully sentient individuals with unique personalities, ambitions, and morals. Some actively seek worship, while others care little for recognition. Their outlook is often shaped by the concept or domain they embody.

    Relationship with Humans

    Humans are the primary source of faith for many gods. In return, gods may grant blessings, protection, guidance, miracles, or disaster depending on their disposition and relationship with their worshipers.

    Relationship with Other Archetypes

    Gods coexist with youkai, humans, divine spirits, and countless other beings. Their relationships range from cooperation to rivalry, and many gods share influence over the same regions or concepts.

    • Native Gods: Ancient deities that exist independently of human origin.
    • Divine Spirits: Humans or other beings who attained godhood before or after death through intensity, worship, or extraordinary achievement.
