First day back in Norway, the weather is terrible, it's cold, and I slept a total of 3 hours tonight. All in all, pretty much as expected. Looking forward to my first day of high school tomorrow though.

It seems you guys are in a bit of a rut. Mind if I join in?

Hello! I noticed that you added something to our tropes page earlier; have you been following our game long?

Hello! We're not so much in a rut as the game moves rather slowly.

Are you interested in playing a character on the Touhou or Wh40k side of things, or some sort of hybrid monstrosity?

I'm curious as to what exactly you added. I haven't been able to see anything different on the trope page.

Also, I'm rather interested in who you're going to play as.

Sullen Frog: I got interested into it because of a cross-discussion on the Touhou forum and read somewhere around 3000 posts the other day for the first one. So, yeah, the other day. ^^;

I added the Ham-to-Ham Combat one when the two guys were arguing who were getting into Heaven. Abridged: "Hey, I'm getting in!" "No, asshole! I'm leaving you behind, and I'm getting in!" *Iku simply watches* ... *a few minutes later* Iku: "Only two of each team." *each reluctantly accepts*

Axes: I'm a new (less than 2 years) fan of Touhou, but I also got interested into W40k because of that Eva fic (the one where Shinji is a badass and says lots of WAAAGH!) some time ago and friends (there's a nearby shop that my friends frequented and played tabletop games there) and then there was that page, not in exact order. So, hybrid monstrosity???

joergenjetsam: Ah, there's one more person that needs to be here. I was wondering if I could play as Lemurian's Utsuho (I wanted to read up until that part in the summary), kick it off from where she was (coma, unless she appears somewhere else after that battle???) and then take it from there.


I believe it was Sullen's and l3wt's who were the protagonists, Lemurian supports the former with the Touhou characters, Axes on Tau, and the Azmodai team for Epic Fail and some Badass. I'm not to the point where joergenjetsam is in. Correct me if I'm wrong. :)

Aaah, it is good to see fresh blood around here.

I am the creator of the old game, and one of the G Ms behind the present game. I played Chapter Master Zolomon and Inquisitor Thomas (among others) back then, and now am behind the Orkz and Khornate daemons in addition to the older characters and Staff Sergeant Anestor.

I am greatly pleased that you have enjoyed our work so far.

Welcome to our little section of the internet! I'm the one who controlled the Tyranids in the last one, and who controls the OC Gensokyian Sneel in the current one.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

I'm another new guy, I joined a couple of months ago. Anyway, I'm currently playing as Mononobe no Futo and an eldar harlequin named Indis. If no one minds, I was hoping to play Tojiko and Miko once they appear as well.

Also, I'm not sure you'll be able to play it off as a coma, 150 years have passed between where we are now and that battle.

Nah, Sullen Frog controlled the Tau. I was mostly in charge of the Nurglite faction of the Chaos dudes, and for the Imperials led by Darius Bickerstaff.

In the current game, I'm playing Leona, a tsukumogami created from an abandoned Leman Russ tank who currently works for Arcturus and co., as well as playing Inquisitor Darius Bickerstaff, who hates Gensokyoans and who is the head of the other Inquisitorial retinue. I'll also most likely be playing the Nurglites if they show up again.

Colonial: Your characters are extremely important in the early parts. The characters made friendships who then helped participate in the war.

Not sure where your character comes, Makuta.

joergenjetsam: Alright, then, pick one:

  • Magic: Something happened after Utsuho left Orin, and she was suddenly left in a stasis/coma/whathaveyou for around 150 years in the Underground Geyser Center.
  • Eirin's shady new drug: Eirin somehow got a hold of a fantastic drug that let Utsuho go to 150 years in the future.
  • Yukari is fooling around again: Yukari gapped Utsuho 150 years into the future when she suddenly went quiet.
  • It's a Moriya Shrine conspiracy: Kanako and Suwako secretly kidnapped Utsuho when she went quiet and took her to an area beneath the Moriya Shrine, hidden for 150 years.

In all cases, Utsuho goes on a revolt and overturns where she was, completely destroying the facility/place/whathaveyou. I let everything else go up from there. No Mecha-Utsuho, please.

Made Of Axes: Oh yeah, one of the major antagonists.

Templates like that are forbidden. Also, hello. smile As you may have picked up on, I play practically all Touhou-characters not played by anyone else.

Now, I'm afraid none of those ideas work. As her current player, I'm a bit hesitant to have 150 years pass for her just like that. I have no objection to her still being alive after 150 years (heck, I don't even think she'd age noticeably), but there really is no reason for her skipping the Time Skip.

If I understand you correct, you have not yet read the entire summary/original game?

I think we have one for Rhetorical Question Blunder.

I'm Sullen Frog, and in the current game I play the Living Saint Zelenin, otherwise known as Zee. I also play the cleric Gaius Morax, a member of Darius' retinue, and in general I tend to handle quite a few of the Chaos nasties.

Lemurian: PERFECT! The exact person I wanted to come here. I have skimmed the summary a while ago, but I prefer to read the actual storyline. With that in mind, I have 2 questions:

  • The summary and the story for her just cut off for some reason. How would you continue her part in the storyline for/with the Time Skip?
  • How about a list of available Touhou characters you may be able to let go and their parts in the storyline? As I can tell by the color code page, it's a lot.

For now, those questions are it. Other questions can be answered as I finish reading.

Ah, that's because she's still there, but she's not a key character any more. She participates in the final battle and other events, but she does not play such a big part in the story to merit much notion in the summary.

Hmmmm...of my characters, I'd say Koishi, Rin, Utsuho, Letty, Shou, Nazrin, Murasa, Ichirin (and Unzan), Iku, Yamame, Kisume and Yuuka are up for grabs if you've got a good idea for them.

#39248: Aug 20th 2013 at 5:47:00 PM

Hey there!

I'm Flanker 66, the resident Imperial Guard/Commissariat dude. I didn't contribute too much of importance to the first game (aside from helping set up some of the major set piece fights that involved the IG), though I love Graille to itty bitty pieces.

I also played (and still play) Silon, the rather unsettling Blank assassin who carries out Bickerstaff Snr.'s will without question (and whom also poked one of Arcturus's eyes out). On the good guys' side I am most actively playing Drake Lycetta, a young nobleman (complete with ancestral sword!) who is completely out of his depth but is slowly adjusting.
