@VitaVitaAR Yoshika is unquestioningly loyal to her master, the two are canonically pretty much inseparable, and furthermore Yoshika is treated more like an option than a separate entity during Seiga's battle in Ten Desires, so I don't really see why she should be treated differently here. Additionally, I saw another player using a supporting NPC as equipment, and you let them through with no issues at all. I assumed that meant there was a precedent.
As for unspecified sorceries, it won't be anything gamebreaking. Just things that one can expect from a stage 4.
Canon, AU, or OC?: Canon Universe of Origin: Gensokyo Personality: The wicked hermit Seiga Kaku is a whimsical sort of person whose vocabulary fails to include phrases such as "trespassing", "private property", and "the sancticity of human life". She's the type of person who becomes interested quickly, and tends to lose interest just as fast. Overall, her primary interests are spreading Taoism and preserving her own existence by any means necessary. Also, on Christmas Eve she dresses up like Santa and robs people, selling their own belongings back to them later. What a jerk.
Abilities: Capable of Passing Through Walls: Seiga's most prominent power is the ability to create holes in walls using the chisel she wears as a hairpin, which close a short while later. She has been said to have issues bypassing certain walls- it seems to be harder the more porous and soft the wall is, as a rubber cage is described as an effective deterrent. Abilities as a Shikaisen: Like all hermits, Seiga has the ability to hide her home, so that only one who knows a specific series of movements is capable of reaching it. Additionally, she is capable of surviving indefinitely on nothing more than fog, and in spite of her appearance her body is said to be tougher than steel. Finally, she has hidden her soul away inside of an object, though it is unknown what object or where it is located. As such, she is capable of changing her appearance as she likes. Abilities as a Taoist: As a Taoist magician that discovered and completed the steps necessary to become a shikaisen and has shown herself capable of creating a jiang-shi, it can be assumed Seiga has a general knowledge of sorcery. Additionally, like many touhous, Seiga is capable of flight as well as tossing out excessive amounts of bullets and lasers pretty much whenever.
Equipment:
A jiang-shi of unknown age created by Seiga, Yoshika doesn't understand her own past due to the decayed state of her brain, and Seiga refuses to speak of how or why the creature came to be. Pieced-together evidence indicates Yoshika was fatally poisoned at a fairly young age by unknown means, and her family, if she had one, failed to investigate this further. She seems to have enjoyed poetry at some point in her life, jusdging by her actions when left unattended in the Myouren Temple graveyard. As far as recent history goes, she guarded the Grand Masouleum for at least two years prior to the events of the Ten Desires incident. From the Ten Desires incident onwards, she has been reunited with her master, following Seiga wherever she goes.
As far as abilities go, Yoshika possesses the ability to eat anything, along with the abilities possessed by jiang-shi, such as the ability to turn others into jiang-shi with a bite (temporarily if they survive the bite, permanently if it kills them), the ability to drain qi, and an inability to feel pain or fatigue, among others. Overall, Yoshika isn't very bright, but she's incredibly loyal to her master.
Backstory: A wicked hermit from China, nobody is sure of Seiga's past before she met Toyosatomimi no Miko. The two worked together for a time, Seiga teaching Miko and her subordinates the steps necessary to achieve immortality as a shikaisen. Later, legends of Toyosatomimi faded from prominence, and the Grand Mausoleum where they hid themselves to escape their natural deaths (later being sealed within by Buddhist monks) was transported to Gensokyo. Later still, the Taoists, including Seiga, were involved in an incident wherein a large number of divine spirits appeared in Gensokyo. After receiving the standard Gensokyo welcome from Reimu, she settled down.
Later, after escaping the most recent attempt on her life by one of Hell's assassins, Seiga discovered her lax lifestyle had made her incapable of defeating a kishin chief in combat, and was forced to flee beyond the Great Hakurei Barrier, unable to return until she was powerful enough to defeat her assassin. Being lazy and possessing an aversion to hard work of any kind, Seiga has decided that, rather than train, she'll simply find a weapon capable of exterminating a kishin and call it a day.
Ongyoki shouldered a large gray duffel bag as he climbed a large hill, his back slick with sweat and his feet sore. He had wished he could travel by car, or train, but such methods weren't possible. As he reached the top, he gently set down his bag and squatted, glaring at the city.
Hajime City. Population: Unknown. Major Industries: Unknown. Imports and Exports: None. Average Income: Unknown. He continued down his mental checklist, a battery of blanks for each statistic. The place had no existing roads that led to it. It appeared on no known map or census. On satellite photos, the valley in which it was located was always conveniently covered in a strange fog, blotting out any sign of civilization from above. In short, it was a town that, as far as the world was concerned, did not exist.
Ongyoki unzipped his duffle bag, withdrawing a binder labeled 'EAGLE, TURQUOISE'. He unzipped it, pulled a couple of CDs from it and tossing them into the air. In seconds, the disks transformed into shiny, metallic birds about the size of a man's hand. They landed clumsily before shuffling into formation, prepared to take orders.
"Perform a full sweep of the city. Record everything. If attacked, retreat. Do not retaliate. That is all.", he pointed to Hajime City, "Go."
With that, the Disk Animals left. Ongyoki replaced the binder, withdrawing from the duffel bag a large plastic container of roasted beans and a hip flask. Breakfast was served.
Name: Ongyoki Rider Name: Kamen Rider Ongyoki Age: 43 Sex: M Transformation Device: Transformation Demon Discs - Echo Sound Origin of Powers: Hibiki
Abilities: Sound Attack Mixer - Crossfade Command A pair of turntables conjured from disks on his chest, Crossfade Command allows Ongyoki to generate, monitor, and coordinate swarms of normally-unintelligent Disk Animals into a threat rivaling that of standard Oni weaponry.
Forms: Ongyoki's Oni form is colored in a shifting palette of greys and greens, the most notable identifying trait being circular patches on his chest that can be activated to form his Oni weapon, as well as narrow slots on his abdominals that can generate and modify Disk Animals.
Personality: Ongyoki is stubborn and cautious, making a point of gathering as much information as possible before acting and preferring to operate indirectly through his Disk Animals whenever possible. That being said, in spite of possessing what some may call a cowardly or underhanded fighting style, he's generally a very honest and traditionally-minded person, making a point never to lie, nor break an oath.
Background: Firstborn son of the Fujiwara clan, Ichirou Fujiwara was pushed to follow tradition and carry on his father Chikata's role as an Oni. He trained hard to become a fearsome Oni who would not soil his family name, discovering his talent for working with shikigami in the process. Over the years, he and his three brothers - Kinki, Suiki, and Fuuki - became renowned as a well-oiled fighting machine, the Four Devas of the Fujiwara clan. Recently, however, the brothers had a falling-out, leading the four siblings to strike out on their own. While Ongyoki is only vaguely aware of what his brothers are up to, he does know one thing: Something terrible is brewing deep in the world- something that's far older and more dangerous than the Makamou of his world. For the honor of his clan and the good of his world, Ongyoki seeks to understand and put a stop to this mysterious new threat.
@Zobozun The Makamou had been sealed along with all the other Kamen Rider villains...HOWEVER you could say something like the oni had been training for their return, or something like that. Well...other than that, accepted.
Sure, just one question: Should I add something about, you know, consequences for sealing the Makamou? Like, I get sealing the villains that are major issues (such as Orochi or the Man and Woman), but the Makamou as a whole are as far as I'm aware some sort of naturally-occurring phenomena that just kind of happens, and sealing away the Makamou as a whole would be a bit like sealing away rocks or trees. Should I change my character's backstory to reflect this? Something about how sealing away the Makamou actually had really awful unintended side-effects on the world as a whole and the Oni have been working to bring them back in an attempt to undo their mistake or some such thing?

Gotcha! Junkyard thought as he fired off one last ball of ferrous trash.
"Ignorant fool, haven't you realized that won't work by now? My suit's point defense system HAS no blind spots!"
"Maybe so...", Junkyard said, "...but you do!"
The Prismatic Man pitched himself forward- and refused to move. "What? What's going on? It's like my legs have been-"
"Frozen in place? You can thank the slag covering most of your legs for that!"
"But how!? It should have worked! My suit was perfect!"
"A little too perfect, I think you'll find! That heat shielding on your legs meant you didn't even notice the liquefied metal splashing all over your suit until you were already immobilized! Your technical genius was your own undoing, Prismatic Man!"
"NOOOOOOOO!", The Prismatic Man shouted as the police apprehended his henchmen, "My plan was foolproof!"
"Foolproof, yes, but I think you'll find that JUNKYARD is no fool! As soon as your suit's battery runs down, it's off to jail for you!"
"Blast you, Junkyard! The world hasn't heard the last of PRISMATIC MAN!"
"Oh, trust me, I think you'll be heard... by a jury of your peers!Take him away, boys!"
"It's no matter! You, too will fall before the power of my HEAT RAY!", The Prismatic Man screeched as he let loose a blast of energy from his chest-mounted laser.
Jumpin' jimeny!, Junkyard thought to himself as the beam barely missed his shoulder, the heat from that beam will scramble my magnetic field for sure- and me with no way to close the distance! But maybe, just maybe...
He repelled a ball of metal from his armor, launching it at the villain- only for it to melt as soon as it got close to him!
"Yowch!", Junkyard cringed as a puddle of semiliquid steel splattered over the legs of the Prismatic Man's costume, "Doesn't that hurt?"
"Of course not, you imbecile! Did you think I would have a system that melts any projectile within ten feet if my armor wasn't heatproofed?"
"Good point!", said Junkyard as he began to fire balls of scrap one after another in quick succession, "Let's see how good that system of yours really is!"
"Ha! You fools think you can stand before the might of THE PRISMATIC MAN?", a man clad in a suit of prism-covered power armor stood tall as the police fired upon him, blasts of focused heat from his armor melting their bullets into slag as soon as they left the barrel.
"Your puny pellets are worthless against my point-defense belt lasers! My heat-blasts, on the other hand...", he thrust out his chest at a nearby parked car, letting loose a coherent beam of energy from a lens located on his sternum and causing it to explode, "Are more than enough to destroy anything you can throw at me!"
The Prismatic Man threw back his head and cackled wildly as his henchman began to loot the local jewelers of its contents. "With this suit, nothing can stop us from finding the Ruby of Tekh-Ma! We'll knock over every store in this blasted town if we have to!"
"NOT SO FAST, YOU REFRACTIVE RUFFIAN!"
A man, seven feet if he was an inch and clad in a suit of loose metallic plates bound together by the power of magnetism, came hurtling out of a nearby alleyway.
"Who the devil are you supposed to be?", The Prismatic Man asked.
"You must not be from around here, pal!", Junkyard responded as he bashed his fists together, "Call me Junkyard, cuz you're about to get SCRAPPED!"
