well, I was talking with some friends about how awesome touhou was, and while playing a certain fan game, it occurred to me: there should be a touhou based MAID game, revolving around life at the scarlet devil mansion!

So, after looking at the rulebook a bit and discussing how the game would work, it's definitely possible! Just a few house rules before we begin:

  • MAID creation: you must roll your attributes, but nothing else needs rolling for. I mean, if you want to continue rolling, that's up to you.
    • Use between 2-4 special qualities.
    • You automatically gain the special quality "hat/hair accessory" You have a special hat or accessory that was made just for you to wear! Don't be afraid to go into detail what it looks like.
  • Your maid weapon is actually a part of your danmaku. It may be the tool you use to assist casting your danmaku, or your danmaku itself. of course feel free to pick a danmaku that is appropriate to your character...
    • On that note, if you want to spend favor to increase the attribute/roll used in your attack, consider that using a "spell card". you should make up a neat name to go with the attack!
  • seduction rules apply. BUT! you cannot create favor with this method, only transfer your own to the seduced. Remilia is a shrewd mistress, who doesn't like her maids kissing when they should be dusting the library!
  • after a stress explosion, stress is lost at a rate of two per post by that person. so for example, if you have 34 stress, it'd take 17 posts from you to work it all out. Consider comforting one another if that seems like too long a time.
  • you can roll your own dice, but please don't cheat. this is a lighthearted game, and I have good faith that you will all be honest enough to take care of your own rolls. if a scenario occurs, only the Mistress and Co-Game Master's can roll the dice, since the tension increases.

the story of the game is: you are all relatively new denizens of Gensokyo, whom, looking for work and a place to stay, have inevitably taking up the job as new maids at the scarlet devil mansion. You're not just mere fairies, however. You are all unique individuals with powers comparable to (at least) Cirno. That being said, you might have your own reasons for becoming a maid...

This game has a heavier focus on gaining favor than other games. Having the highest favor carries a few benefits, but also gives you more attention than other maids. just watch out!

the flow of the game will be regular daily life, which random events thrown in a lot and scenarios that I make up. you'll be working not only for Remilia, your official mistress, but also your seniors, whom hold sway over Remilia's decisions.

So anyways, I'm just posting this ahead of time. I'm getting ready to pack and move today, so I'll be checking later to see if anyone is interested in the idea. See ya then!~

  • History:

Kitame was nine years old when she escaped her abusive parents, running away from her home one day. It was not soon after that she came across an injured fox cub. She nursed it back to health, and the cub followed her. They travelled together for six years, wandering aimlessly around this great land they lived in, scavenging for food, working hard to survive. One day, the cub transformed herself into the form of a young girl, revealing her status as a kitsune who had come of age. She was indebted to Kitame, and gave her gifts of eternal youth, long life, and of course, her protection. To seal this pact, she took on Kitame’s last name, sealing them as blood sisters, and bound souls.

Almost 100 years later, Kotsu has sprouted another tail, a sign that her powers have grown, and the pair are closer than ever. They’ve developed some spells as a pair, leading to rather powerful combinations. They’ve recently found refuge at the Scarlet Devil Mansion, under the condition that they serve the mistress Remilia Scarlet, as something of a favor to Kotsu, who kept Remilia company some time before Kitame was born.

YES.

"Your name is Mariya Hojou. You are 230 years old. You have beige eyes and silver hair, and wear a green maid uniform. You are heroic and childlike; others describe you as sweet, childish and single-minded.

You are actually an animated corpse, with a bad complexion and conspicuous wounds. You are the actually the daughter of a family of even greater standing of the master. Your maid outfit includes a collar, like a dog's, with ears to match.

The master is your hated enemy, and you are infiltrating his mansion in order to seek revenge. In combat, you wield a katana, kusarigama or other traditional Japanese weapon. When you are extremely upset, you start persistently tormeting the other maids. Due to your notable Will, you have the ability Crisis Adrenaline. You can spend 1d6 points of Favor to add an Athletics roll to your Stress. You cannot use this to deliberately avoid the natural removal of Stress points.

Athletics: 2

Affection: 2

Skill: 1

Cunning: 2

Luck: 3

Will: 4"

Mariya (pronounced Mor-Eye-Yah) is a zombie, much like Miyako Yoshika. However, she declares herself a princess, oddly, even though she is only a maid. She's immature, and quick to act on temperaments, bearing her katana. She thinks that the Hojou clan is sworn enemies of the Scarlets, although she's not quick to speak about this and often keeps it hidden under her cute and kind exterior....of course, it's not true, either way, but...

Damn, I didn't mean to double post either.

Okay, this is my first time actually playing Maid so if there are any problems let me know and I'll fix them.

  • Name: Misaki Tachibana
  • Age: 320 (apparent late teens)
  • Maid Types: Pure/Heroine

  • Attributes:
    • Athletics: 2

    • Cunning: 2
    • Luck: 1
    • Will: 2

    • Hair: Black
    • Uniform: Black

  • Maid Power: World for Two
  • Maid Roots: Mistress
  • Maid Weapon: Bokken
  • Hat: Straw kasa
  • Stress Explosion: Seclusion

Your name is Misaki Tachibana. You are 320 years old. You have navy eyes and black hair, and wear a black maid uniform. You are pure and heroic; others describe you as earnest, clean and maidenly. Unlike most of the other maids, Misaki isn't a fairy. She's a Betobeto-san, a rather unimportant type of youkai from the Nara area whose sole talent is frightening others with the sound of footsteps on an (apparently) empty road. She misses the quiet of the countryside, but Remilla Scarlet didn't give her much of a choice. Although she appears to be a maid, it would be more accurate to call her one of the mistress’.... playthings.

You’ve always got a cigarette in your mouth, or are chomping on a cigar. You have an incurable disease, though it does not hinder your ability to perform your duties your hands are perpetually cold and damp. You always wear sunglasses, even at night. Your hair has antennae or feelers and a mind of its own.

Although you appear to be a maid, it would be more accurate to call you the master's lover. You wield bokken - Japanese-style wooden sword - or a staff. When you are extremely upset, you go to your room and won't come out. Not even for food. Due to your notable Affection, you have the ability World for Two. By taking 1d6 Stress, you can create a "world" for you and one other person, where for 5 minutes no one else can intrude.

Name: Hitomi Hayashi

Age: 109(Appears about 15-16)

Athletics: 0

Affection: 2

Skill: 1

Cunning: 2

Luck: 3

Will: 2

Uniform Color: gray

Hair Color: white

Eye Color: blue

Maid Types: Lolita, Cool

Special Qualities: Large Ribbon, Neat Freak

Favored Attribute: Luck

Maid Power: Escape, Foreboding

Maid Roots: Self Punishment

Maid Weapon: Katana

Stress Explosion: Seclusion

Hitomi is 109 years old. She have purple eyes and blue hair, and wears a gray uniform. She are childlike and cool; others describe her as unflappable, doll-like and innocent.

Hitomi wears a large ribbon in your hair. She is obsessed with cleanliness, and can't let the tiniest bit of dirt go unnoticed.

In order to punish herself for percieved inexperience, Hitomi has taken up the job of a maid. In combat, she wields a katana, kusarigama or other traditional Japanese weapon. When she is extremely upset, she goes into her room and won't come out, not even for food. Due to her notable Luck, she has the power of Foreboding; She can tell when something dangerous is coming.

-

Hitomi is some form of youkai, though it's hard to tell just what she is. She doesn't appear to have any defining characteristics that would place her as any specific type. This has led to some thought that she's some kind of "youkai youkai", a youkai who is simply a youkai and nothing else. She doesn't particularly care about such things.

She originally lived in a small field outside of one of Gensokyo's forests. She was quite secluded, although she occasionally got a visitor or two.

Instead, Hitomi prefers simply to not make mistakes. As long as she doesn't make a mistake, she remains pleased with herself. Even the smallest mistake, however, will make her displeased. Such a mistake made her actively seek employment as a maid at the Scarlet Devil Mansion. While she merely failed to properly prepare tea for the rare event of company, she took this as her needing to get herself in gear. And what better way to get better and that kind of thing, then become a maid?

Hitomi is usually cool and collected, and fairly stoic. However, it is possible to shatter this composure, if something truely frightens her, or even if something's actually funny enough to get her to laugh.

She is slightly obsessive when it comes to cleanliness, and doesn't tolerate even the smallest speck of dust.
