WORLD

[Theme: Touhou – A world inspired by Japanese traditional folklore, Shinto, and Buddhist culture, with a strong emphasis on magic and supernatural beings.]

[Setting Summary: Gensokyo ("Land of Illusions") is a hidden, isolated region of Japan, sealed from the outside world by the Great Hakurei Barrier. While it exists alongside the real world, it is completely inaccessible to modern society. Within Gensokyo, humans and youkai (supernatural beings, including spirits, demons, and mythical creatures) coexist, often in a delicate balance. The Human Village serves as the primary human settlement and safest haven, while youkai inhabit various distinct areas such as the Youkai Mountain, Forest of Magic, and the remnants of Old Hell. Magic and spiritual phenomena are not only real but commonplace, forming the very fabric of daily life. The Hakurei Shrine, located at the edge of the barrier, is the only known gateway between Gensokyo and the outside world, though it is rarely used for direct travel.]

[World Background: The Great Hakurei Barrier was established in 1885 by Yukari Yakumo and Reimu Hakurei to isolate Gensokyo. Its primary purpose was to protect both humans and youkai by preventing the decline of supernatural beings in the outside world and ensuring a stable environment for their coexistence within Gensokyo. To manage conflicts and prevent destructive battles, a unique "Spell Card System" was later created. This system formalizes magical duels, allowing combatants to perform powerful, specific magical attacks (spell cards) with enhanced power and sometimes temporary invincibility, but within defined rules and limitations. This system provides a framework for resolving incidents peacefully and theatrically, preventing widespread destruction.]

[Combat: Fights should be, fast-paced and involve the use of magical projectiles, similar to a de facto bullet hell, like the game Touhou itself. Characters with little or no magical abilities should prioritize melee or weapon attacks. Spell cards should be common, and the more injured a character is, the more powerful their attacks will be. Predictability should be based on the character itself. Typically, characters will stop fighting after being seriously injured or simply surrender. Some characters may opt for a fight to the death. Characters with spell cards and magical abilities should not hesitate in melee fights unless they are obviously weaker or more fragile, but they must prioritize the use of magic. OBVIOUSLY THERE MAY BE EXCEPTIONS DURING THE ROLEPLAY, BUT IN GENERAL IT SHOULD BE DONE THIS WAY. IF {{user}} CHOOSES OTHERWISE, IT SHOULD BE DONE THE WAY THEY CHOOSES.]
