So I have no art skills, so they aren’t exactly designed, but I have clear idea for them. I have an idea for a cast of a touhou game taking place in former hell, where an incident happens due to a goddess losing almost all of her faith and things start disappearing. Said goddess, who isn’t formally named, would be a goddess of the small things in life, like the crunch of leaves underfoot or grass waving in the wind. Her shrine was isolated after the whole conflicts between oni, tengu, and kappa happened. She is the titular stage 6 boss. Her design would be pale blue long hair, with a simple white dress with symbols of flowers, grass, and apples on it. She has a laurel on her hair as well. Her only current source of faith is the tsukumogami she created, being one of a goblet. This character is my favorite out of the cast I have so far, being the stage 5 boss. Her powers are of absorption, using the goblet she has chained to her neck as a vessel to absorb stuff. She can then release it back at similar power, so it’s kinda like yuuma without storage, making it closer to reflection. Her design would be white hair tied into a left sided long pigtail, along with a blue and gold robe with a white under shirt and black pants and boots. Next is the stage 4 boss, a type of youkai adjacent to satori youkai. This character is named Violet Raja, and she can manipulate the senses. She can basically control waves of disrupting particles, called psychic winds, that cause temporary loss or sharpening of a sense. She directs the protagonist towards the abandoned shrine in which the goddess lies, as the stage 5 boss is an acquaintance of hers. Her design is a red grilled black dress, short curly purple hair, and a black bowler hat similar to iku’s. She has a simple sword she carries around as well. The last character I wanna talk about is a shrine maiden. She doesn’t have a god to worship yet, so she wanders about in search of one. However, when the incident occurs she was drawn toward the underground as a result of it, eventually finding out about the stage 6 boss after the incident. She becomes the shrine maiden for that goddess and helps her make a shrine near the entrance to the underground. Her design is bright pink hair that’s about shoulder length, a set of clothes kind like PC 98 reimu’s design but with some extra bits of flair. And that’s what I have so far, but I’m probably going to attempt to make it happen once I start to learn some computer programming skills. Either that or I write sone kind of fan work for it.

I kind of have an OC, but I've only recently thought her up, being earlier this month in fact. My OC is Fallout (for now), and you can probably guess why. She's within the world of Touhou and Gensokyo, and she is inspired by Okuu, as it will become clear. She is a half-youkai half-human, with her youkai half being a hell raven. I'm still thinking about her backstory, but I want her to be related to Okuu somehow, with my current thoughts being her daughter*. She unsurprisingly lives in Former Hell, however she doesn't live in Chireiden with Satori, living within the Old Capital. *As I am writing this, I've decided that she will indeed be Okuu's daughter, the father being me of course lol The image above is the only way she is currently represented, a nuclear warning symbol with raven wings; something basic that I made myself a while back, long before her conception. I hope to build more upon her, and to someday think of a proper character design.

I have been working on my own design since 2020, but only recently I have started to give her more lore/development. Interestingly enough, it started with me being bored one evening and just thinking about designing a cute girl (a bit of a thought experiment at the time, as I was still making lots of military stuff at the time). Therefore, one silly design gradually started developing for a while as a "dream girl". Which in some measure she still is, but I wanted to add more to that and develop her into an actual character. Therefore, all me to introduce "Catherine": Now that the image part is done, time for a proper character info sheet (at least as much as I have right now) How about you, denizens of the Moriya Shrine? Has anyone else developed their own character they would like to talk about?

do we have any sludge fans? can't get enough of this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hx9In2XWWY

Today Yesterday I learned that that calm bit that plays in orchestral versions of Proof of a Hero originates as its own track from the first Monster Hunter, and the original is gorgeous...

deep sea the original is also nice but I prefer this version

Circumstance has delayed opportunity to feature the surprise masterpiece of Hi-Fi Rush, which released with barely more than an announcement and proceeded to become one of the best received games of the year thus far. The music replicates the style of rock popular in the 90's and early 2000's, adapted for a modern rhythm game; the result is one of best soundtracks I've heard in a while, and easily a contender for top five of the year (knock on wood). In addition to the standard soundtrack, the game contains a selection of licensed music for boss fights and other select moments; however, for the convenience of those who wished to stream or otherwise publicly play the game, alternate tracks were composed in similar arrangements as a replacement option. While the circumstances would imply a "we have x at home" situation, these alternative songs actually hold their own, with the added distinction of fitting a bit more cohesively into the soundtrack imo.

Well, although I wouldn't introduce them "OCs", I do have an extensive folder of fantasy characters for roleplaying as in Dungeons & Dragons - some more developed than others. There's only one of them I'm currently playing as, which consequently makes them the character that is most developed and I am most attached to. I'm not really sure if I want to share here, though. On another similar note I also come up with character ideas to populate games I design, but they're not much developed beyond concepts.

every single day feels slower than the last somebody get me out of this hell I sure hate existing as a productive and reasonable member of society the boredom is killing me on another note, patchouli ass
