Being truly on my own is a bit of a weird feeling. It's never really happened.

Let it never be said that sometimes extreme brevity isn't the most appropriate post, though. Everything is a tool.

Name: Fujiwara no Mokou

Age: 1300+

Gender: Female



Canon, AU, or OC?: Canon

Universe of Origin: Touhou Project

Personality: She doesn't really talk about herself much, and is known for keeping to herself, but when engaged in conversation Mokou's actually quite blunt and surprisingly lively. She really seems to get a kick out of fighting--or at least battles to the death, even if she's the only person that's going to get killed. Despite this, and having no self-preservation (or common sense--there's no reason for her to not eat, but she goes hungry because she can), she's a pretty nice person. After all, you'd have to be to make one of your most common activities 'help people that got lost'.

Abilities/Weapons:
  • Perfect Immortality: Due to having consumed the Hourai Elixir when she was younger, there is no way to actually kill Mokou that will work. Vaporised, decapitated, poisoned, left in a vacuum--without fail, she'll be fine afterwards. The actual immortality part (as opposed to not ageing or falling ill) comes from making it impossible for Mokou to be ever dead, which brings a few strange consequences in.
    It's a good thing that she has this--Mokou's regard for her own well-being is essentially nil, and over time this seems to have made her incredibly fragile, especially compared to most of Gensokyo's more combative residents. It also makes the task of defeating her via brute force a lot easier: getting killed still hurts; inflict enough injury and she'll go down. Or just don't inflict so much that she'd die, since she doesn't heal from that instantly.
  • Magic: Through a long life, and a lot of practice, Mokou has become far more powerful than people tend to expect a human to be. Aside from Gensokyo's ubiquitous flight... well, she mostly seems to be content to play with fire, despite it being doubtful that it's all she can do. Fireballs, explosions, exploding herself... given the state of her shirt compared with everything else on her person, she's probably capable of making ofuda to fireproof something.
  • Kicking: She seems to prefer it.


Backstory: The daughter of a nobleman, most likely Fujiwara no Fujito, managed to embarrass himself in front of someone known for being incredibly beautiful (who happened to be from the moon). Getting annoyed at this, Mokou chose to steal a gift to the emperor to spite Kaguya, and through chance succeeded despite her total inability to be threatening at this point. Also killed a guy in the process by shoving him off a cliff. Then she drank the elixir in a moment of weakness, and ended up regretting it.
Some point in the next thousand years, she went rather crazy and spent three centuries killing anyone nearby. Then three centuries doing nothing. In the end, she found Kaguya again, which was nice; it meant someone to kill again and again and again in a magnificent stalemate.

Faction: N/A
Totally fail my history check.

Pushing herself upright, the paladin made her way towards the injured person, paying little attention to the five relatively intact people that had washed up alongside her. If she had any say in the matter, they wouldn't be wounded for long.

Go start it. :P
Pretty substantial, that.

But you'd need to absorb large amounts of force it you're going to block the Dragonslayer.

Actually, even if the sword didn't shatter, you'd need to be amazingly strong to keep your arms from giving out, and even if you did block, you'd get knocked around a decent distance.


Magic swords and unusual strength go hand in hand, number two could be considered a benefit (it gets you out of range without needing to absorb everything) if you're not able to push back. Either way, being forced back or sent flying is infinitely preferable to disarmed and cut in two, no?
<Snipped quote by Raineh Daze>

Well, Guts has also cut through multiple soldiers clad in steel armor, or several magic enhanced tigers, or several magic enhanced alligators, all in one swing. My point is, he can hit hard.


Even before the Dragonslayer, yes. I have read past the Band of the Hawk. :P

But when your lower bound for necessary enhanced durability is to match the sword swinging (if you're going to actively retaliate) you don't need a massive ability to absorb damage.
<Snipped quote by Raineh Daze>

Yeah, but in that case it would need to boost the weapon's durability to unbelievable levels. Guts smashed corundum during one fight.


Corundum is brittle; it's like hitting diamond. It will break. What you need is something about as resilient to force/cutting as a seven-ish foot long iron blade. Given the forces magic weapons tend to be required to endure, it's not that unlikely.
I have one through NT 11 saved, it's fine.
<Snipped quote by Raineh Daze>

Well, let me state right now that that goes into spoiler territory in NT. Which is bad.

Also because all the translated original Index volumes went down. So. You know, Gotta read NT to understand.


Fine, fine, I'll get back onto it soon. I got sidetracked by fanfiction after 16. :P
<Snipped quote by Raineh Daze>

Nope, not quite. It's New Testament stuff, but in short the dead Clones still exist. Just not in a corporeal form, though.


Are they providing computational power or simply draining it, though?

<Snipped quote by Raineh Daze>

If the antimagic effect is engaged by cutting stuff, then the Dragonslayer is attacking both the magic and the physical at the same time. Thus, both items collapse simultaneously. It's like a door that's opened by two button presses at the same time.


More like needing to press two buttons--but you can only reach one at a time. If the magic exists in the same place as the physical, you have to be able to cut the physical to cut the magic. If the enchantment puts the weapon beyond something Guts can cut through sheer force, the weapon's integrity won't be compromised.
