June 2022 Event Plotting PART 2
Time to put an end to this!
Jigokucho has become significantly more Hell-like in the last week! Everyone who is still sane knows this can't be allowed to go on indefinitely, or else the whole city is going to rip itself apart.
So despite their differences, Tenkohime, Toraguma, the Daitengu, and Captain Shiki have come together to form a plan.
Thanks to Shylock, Aerith, and Emily, an incense has been developed that can create a shielding effect for anyone within the vicinity of the incense. Kinsei, the elder onmyouji in Tenkohime's employ, has built a chalice that can be carried, allowing this incense to travel with a small group. He's managed to build two of them.
Captain Shiki and Tenkohime will remain behind to watch over the survivors, while Toraguma and the Daitengu will lead two teams to Kaiga no Bou. One's going up to find the Enma, the other's going down to the Containment Unit. Both are looking for who, or what, has caused this.
They will have one incense chalice each, as well as a dagger made from the Hihi'irokane (legendary soul-energy conducting metal) obtained from the Isonade smugglers.
As for how we're organizing this, we're going to ask for volunteers among the player base! Fill out the form below, and we'll do suitability-weighed RNG to determine who gets selected for both teams.
The goal is to have this resolved before the TDM, but we know not everyone's pace will be up to snuff, so we will likely fast-forward these logs as needed to make sure everyone is where they need to be for the final confrontation.
Here's the form!

Character Name: Barok van Zieks
Faction: Department of the Enma
What they are able to bring to the team: He's a 2* Enma member (though the second one seems to not be added to the Taken list yet)! But on the other hand, he's normally a lawyer...
Even so, he's been dedicated to the Department since arrival and would be very interested in joining the effort for retrieving the Enma. He is sadly a totally normal human, but his sword fighting is real good.

Character Name: Andromache of Scythia (Andy)
Faction: Enma
What they are able to bring to the team:
Andy is a versatile centuries-old warrior who has mastered any number of weapons and martial arts in her lifetime. She has spent most of the last several millennia fighting wars, and also has extensive experience with leading a small elite team in black ops and covert rescue missions. Her long and bloody history has made her especially steady, at least outwardly, during times of crisis. She won’t be your most comforting or friendly teammate, but she will absolutely have your back. However, she currently has no powers and will be limited by injury and fatigue.
Her rank in her faction is sergeant. While she hasn’t always been invested in Enma’s priorities and initially made no secret of her resentment, a shift in her personal motives has resulted in a recent effort to perform her duties, and she has become more consistent in using her skills with sometimes brutal efficiency in service of the Department, even if she never does it with a smile.

Character Name: Herlock Sholmes
Faction: Tamamo
What they are able to bring to the team:
Sholmes is a highly competent detective whose main skills lie in observation, investigation, and problem-solving. If there is a mystery to unravel, he is interested by default — in this case, he has been invested in figuring out the circumstances behind the containment zone's breach from the start, and is eager to pick up any clues regarding who might have been the saboteur. There would definitely be no lack of enthusiasm on his part.
Basically, he would fit into the sleuth archetype fairly well within a group dynamic, able to pick out details (both minor and critical) that less observant individuals may miss, as well as draw generally accurate conclusions from the evidence available.

Character Name: Miyamoto Musashi
Faction: Tamamo
What they are able to bring to the team: Musashi is a Heroic Spirit and has the physical capabilities associated with as such (enhanced strength, reflexes, and durability). She also has her Heavenly Eyes, which grant her a sort of fast-paced, instinct based clairvoyance. She is a partial lieutenant (2 stars) within Tamamo. Most importantly, she is also the sort who will actively focus on making sure everyone comes back alive, but will probably be reckless with her own safety. She has a tendency to act impulsively, and while she's getting used to commanding others, commanding HER is still a bit of a struggle. Sorry, boss!

Character Name: Cloud Strife
Faction: Sutoku Alliance
What they are able to bring to the team: Cloud is a fresh face, but he's also been cooperating and getting involved with the Alliance to at least a decent amount for a low-ranking member. He's a frontline combatant, and his mako infusion means that anything that might be too tough to handle for some people would be less of the case for Cloud. With the right weapon (a heavy blade, naturally) in hand, he can clear a path forward as good as anyone. He might grouse a bit should the going get tough, but he's a team player to the core, and used to working in small groups.
e: ADDENDUM BECAUSE I NEARLY FORGOT: He also has a charm (given to him by Matoba) that would theoretically allow him to take one (1) fatal blow. So Cloud has a single piece of insurance, for whatever might be the most dangerous part of this mission.

Character Name: Lio Fotia
Faction: Shuten
What they are able to bring to the team: Lio is nothing if not a dogged survivor, having evaded Foresight's forces for a long time prior to the start of Promare's story. He has at least some of his Burnish powers back, but he's a total neophyte within the clan. That being said, he's serious and capable of being a team player. More than anything, he refuses to let himself or anyone else die to this, and is determined to put an end to it once and for all.

Contact: Plurk - Rosemotifs
Character Name: Hu Tao
Faction: Sutoku
What they are able to bring to the team: Despite her powers being nerfed, Hu Tao is used to combat. She has no issue when it comes to fighting and will be a team player. Additionally, as a funeral director, she is observant. Since she needs to know a person down to the last detail to plan their funeral, she has no problem with looking around for clues.

Character Name: Kate Galloway
Faction: Tamamo
What they are able to bring to the team:
Kate is definitely determined to see an end to this thing. A. It sucks. B. If it doesn't get solved she might not get her contract fulfilled and like, big driving force. C. She's kinda felt out of her depth/not useful for the last couple of weeks and is extra determined to prove she can do something. While not exactly the most capable combatant in comparison to others, she's small, nimble, and has decent support utility with her powers (power sight / sense boosting), so she could offer some small but helpful additions to a situation, like getting in a sneaky hit, offering details about powers that may be at play, or improving people's senses for a limited amount of time.

Character Name: Azem
Faction: Tamamo
What they are able to bring to the team: Azem has ranked up once within the clan.
As for skills and abilities, Azem is a skilled fighter (as one of the top combatants in the Convocation). They're skilled with a giant axe as well as daggers and staff. They've regained a form of their creation magic in that they can make new objects from other physical materials (ala Edward Elric's form of alchemy). Their other magical abilities are still rather limited but they can do a bit of healing and white-based elemental magics (wind, water, and earth). They're also capable of stealth, limited invisibility can be used on themself (though it might not be very useful in this situation).
Azem has been doing whatever they can to help others since things started. Whether that's been fighting, tracking down people, or just trying to get supplies to folks. They definitely want to see an end to this before things get even worse.

Contact: Discord #4947
Character Name: Cain
Faction:Enma Department
What they are able to bring to the team: Cain may be a relatively newer member of the Enma department, but even without his magic, he is an excellent fighter with a sword. He's also very good at working as a team with others and leading them, especially since a lot of the jobs they do in canon involve situations similar to this. He's always ready to help out even if it was not asked of him, and somehow feels a bit responsible for the situation, so he will be very raring to go. He also has some spare knives if no one brought any....

Contact: piratopteryx @ plurk, vanathema#4648 @ discord
Character Name: Minato "Minakami" Suizenji
Faction: Shuten
What they are able to bring to the team:
Minato's a fresh 1-star Shuten, who basically was beelining for Kaigou as The Problem(tm) when all hell broke loose, even if he was forced to back off before dying to death, and he's ready for a second go. At this point, he's less optimistic about there being anyone alive left in Kaigou no Bou to save, but he wants to help and stop the curse breakout, and stop everyone's secret traumas from being exposed any more than they have.
While he's a mostly baseline human, he's a skilled swordsman with good reflexes and speed; he's got decent observational skills and supernatural perfect memory that could be of use if the interior of the tower is seriously disorientingly Weird, either in terms of its physical layout or if something tries to mess with people's heads. He is less used to being in a team, but he'll take orders unless they seriously contradict with the main goal, and he'd be focused on keeping everyone in the group safe.

Contact: PM or discord me linlin#4681
Character Name: Fushiguro Megumi
Faction: Sutoku
What they are able to bring to the team: Combat-wise, Megumi has two wolf shikigami (that can be combined into a larger werewolf-like shikigami) that are excellent for offense, defense and rescue. When combined into the larger werewolf, their strength and speed is heavily enhanced, making them pretty decent in a fight. They also have enhanced sight, smell and sensitivity to cursed energy, and can be used for tracking scents, alerting the team to danger, and following the aura of cursed energy.
Megumi himself is an experienced fighter and exorcist despite his age, having fought and defeated numerous curses in the past. He's got pretty good hand-to-hand combat skills and is decent with the sword. Being born with the sight, he's also able to sense cursed energy and pick up when something feels off/different. Given his sharp memory, intelligence and thorough personality, he's the type who will be analyzing the situation thoroughly and trying to pick up on any clues they might have missed. He's also pretty good at strategizing, often the one in the group back home coming up with a plan. Megumi's generally a pretty great team player, and very concerned about others, so he's going to want to make sure everyone comes back alive.
While he's a new member of Sutoku, he's ... pretty fond of Daitengu after being returned his dogs, and more invested in helping to further the goals of Sutoku as a result. Megumi's also quite invested in finding out what's going on re: the Haniwa given the chaos before, so he will gladly volunteer! He was helping the Enma during the cursed night.

Character Name: Felix Hugo Fraldarius
Faction: Shuten
What they are able to bring to the team:
Starting off with the fact that Felix is a 1*-ranked Shuten member, and though he's been particularly grouchy about the arrangement as well as sporting his usual dour attitude, he's consistently worked hard for the missions he's been assigned. And that has extended to things outside of that as well (patrols, not tolerating the poster thing...though that is him being intolerant to certain things.) These are all things to keep in mind, even if you won't exactly hear him singing praises for the clan or its leader—but he takes his role and tasks rather seriously. Additionally, as expected his actions are indicative of someone who doesn't take things lying down, and enjoys a good challenge.
In line with that, Felix is a highly-skilled combatant for his age. He is quick on his feet than, say, most normal people due to his training, and he can handle himself in battles even without a blade, utilizing his hands and feet if need-be. Though, where he shines particularly would be his skill in the blade—absolutely rather advanced even with the fact he is relatively young. In addition to that, he is good at battle tactics, making him an asset regardless of his blunt and frank nature.
Recently, the Fraldarius heir has also recovered the usage of his Crest, an ability that will do well in bolstering his skills given the fact it can add more striking power with a weapon.
Though Felix is also inclined to a lone wolf nature, he is able to work competently with others, and will not hesitate to do so in order to bring down a considerable threat.

Character Name: samatoki aohitsugi
Faction: shuten
What they are able to bring to the team: samatoki is great in a team, quick to act, and decisive. he's pretty solid with a fight now that he's had more physical fighting under his belt, and he's also learning field medic things with emily, should that be needed. on top of that is his reality checking methods he's trying to teach.
he's definitely going to do his best in whatever way he's needed to work with the team and get helltokyo back to ... normal

Contact: PM | itsabee#1072
Character Name: Anna
Faction: Tamamo
What they are able to bring to the team: Trying to reclaim a cursed city is Anna's entire bag. It is also what she failed to do back in Yharnam, so it would be great character development for her to actually see paths towards success again. More than that, to see that other people around her can be a positive influence sometimes.
With her Insight nerfed, her frenzy resist is actually pretty powerful; especially once we get incense going. She's a reliable choice and forcing her to use team work is good for her.

Contact: plurk:
Character Name: Ibaraki-Douji
Faction: Shuten
What they are able to bring to the team: SHE IS IBARAKI-DOUJI BOW AND TREMBLE BEFORE HER BANANA MIGHT!!!!
...While her everything is super nerfed at the moment, lacking her flames, ability to transform, and use her ultimate power, Ibaraki is still no pushover when it comes to a fight! Or most of anything else she sets out to do. She's a known, master thief, able to worm her way in and out of tight spots. Is still stupidly strong and athletic for her size because, oni. Heightened senses, a penchant to go out of control in an enraged madness, and doesn't shy away too much from acting in a ruthless manner.
She's not exactly the most loyal person here, especially not to Toraguma, who she's holding some rather mixed feelings over. Chief among them being anger, frustration, and a bit of pity. But hey, if Shuten decides to get involved then you can bet Ibaraki will as well, and tag along with whatever her partner wants to do.
Billy the Kid
Character Name: Billy the Kid
Faction: Tamamo
What they are able to bring to the team: Billy is a thief, fairly levelheaded, but also tends to be the type to shoot first and ask questions never. Too much thinking over someone willing to harm you is a good way to get yourself killed. While he doesn't have any powers or ranking as of yet, he doesn't particularly need anything substantial to power himself up. He is a master marksman, incredibly quick, even for a human. Most of his skills are derived and honed from countless practice and experience. The life of an outlaw is hard! A master escape artist, Billy has escaped from multiple jail cells, hand cuffs, and near-impossible situations with sheer guile alone.
He is usually likeable enough as well, always there to lend a laugh and smile and ease up with most of anyone he meats.
Enterprise (CV-6)
Faction: Sutoku
What they are able to bring to the team: Like Billy, Enterprise is a master marksman and more than just a little handy with a bow, and most of any other weapon she can get her hands on. She has a will of steel and isn't easily shaken, especially when she sets her mind to something. Additionally, she can be rather headstrong at times, and isn't afraid to dive headfirst into something, and is often used to having to do so. Through all of this she is both mentally, and physically strong. Able to pull a bow that reaches up to her head with relative ease in most, stressful situations, and doesn't readily allow even the most shocking revelation to dissuade her.
Enty, by and large, is a workaholic and will ground herself down should the situation call for it. She knows her limits but doesn't stop herself from working to go above and beyond them. This is most true when its for a cause she believes is right. Always going all out and doing her best in any given situation, Enterprise is a steadfast companion and will actively stick by a person through thick and thin.

Contact: discord! caitie#6024
Character Name: Fukuda Tamotsu
Faction: Enma
What they are able to bring to the team: Fukuda may generally be Just Some Guy, but he is actually incredibly smart and perceptive when he applies himself, and he really wants to get a Good Grade In Enma. He also, as a department employee, does know the layout of their office building. Additionally, whatever weird silent hill nonsense we find in there isn't going to phase him because he's got a fucked up brain and has suffered worse probably. He also won't hesitate to kill anything human shaped if he needs to.
Outside of the skills he brings to the table as a deranged and brilliant serial killer he will also try to keep the mood up!? He's a strange little man.

Contact: PM or
Character Name: Tenshi Hinanawi
Faction: Tamamo
What they are able to bring to the team:
- Physical Prowess: Assuming she's had her divine peach for the day, Tenshi is a capable physical fighter with superhuman strength and stature and reasonable skill at using it.
- Spiritual Familiarity: She's an idiot, but she's also faced youkai for countless years and is aware that youkai here are different but very similar to youkai in her world. It's helped at times, but can be a hindrance if she misunderstands.
- She has a lust for battle and excitement that makes it very likely she'd volunteer and not regret it for a moment even if she's in over her head. The girl gets bored a lot, and battles are things she relies on to change things up.
- Fairly fearless, mostly because she's too stubborn to acknowledge when she shouldn't be taking on a threat.
Downsides:
- She's about as professional as a racoon trying to get into your garbage cans. She can take orders, but if she sees an opportunity, she's likely to lunge in for a strike even if it's not a great idea.
- She's a low rank peon in the level of respect or trust placed in her (for good reason), so No Stars.
- Just as she's courageous, she's also brash in general and arrogant.
- At this time, her abilities are entirely physical aside from the dagger she'd be given. She has no retort to spiritual threats other than the dagger.
(Also sending a quick PM to the mod account.)
Sha Gojyo
Contact: PM or
Character Name: Sha Gojyo
Faction: Shuten
What they are able to bring to the team: Rank one for Shuten -
Pros - Gojyo is an experienced fighter, hitman, and bodyguard who has been taking on physical contracts since he was a teenager. And with his biology as well as the youkai possessing him he's a certified tank. Although capped, his physical strength is on the stronger side of human, and although his healing is not quite up to par for what it once was, his natural durability and ability to withstand high-levels of physical pain for prolonged periods makes it so that he rarely ever stays down for long. (You literally have to kill him to keep him from standing up) He also has his Shakujo, a large monks spade with a detachable crescent blade that retracts with a chain within the shaft. He is highly proficient with it as practically uses it as if it were an extended part of his own body. He is also stunningly aware of his surroundings due to years of experience both fighting and surviving in a near apocalyptic wartime era. And has enough basic survival training to know how to bandage people up, suture wounds, and offer CPR if need be. He is also possessed by the spirit of an Umabie that, while also capped, seems to still carry a strange bit of luck with her wherever the two of them go.
Downside - The main downside is that all-too-famous personality of his. His habit of constantly cracking jokes and jeering others along can often times come off as inappropriate if not outright rude. His teamwork skills also need some work, although he will follow along begrudgingly as he has gotten slightly better over the years. For this event specifically he may be a little slower than he usually is, as he seems to have taken a habit to sedating himself in order to hold back any effects that the event has brought upon the city. And although he is functional, he is paranoid over it due to having faced similar experiences before both in his home world and Hakagemachi. But because of the extent of the event he also seems to be handling the overall situation with much more seriousness than he would have otherwise held. He wants to see an end to this before it gets any worse, and he's willing to take a step forwards and volunteer if it means they can fix just that.

Character Name: BISHOP
Faction: Shuten
What they are able to bring to the team:
Bishop is a demon slayer with years of experience killing monsters and dealing with occult and otherworldly situations. He doesn't have his powers but he is still a highly skilled combatant, and coupled with his knowledge makes him highly adaptable to any situation. He's ranked up once in the clan.

Contact: discord @ tori#3410
Character Name: Jack the Ripper
Faction: Tamamo
What they are able to bring to the team: As a Servant based on Jack the Ripper, what Jack can bring to the table is the capability to fight. Even without their abilities, they can still put up a rather decent fight. Not only that, but they often have a cool head on their shoulders, which might be necessary to reign some other characters in. They also have experience with fear-inducing things, as one of their Noble Phantasms used to turn them into the fear-inducing thing, plus the concept of "What if Jack the Ripper was a cursed object" is something that they are very knowledgeable about. Along with that, they also have knowledge related to some of their other "theorized" forms, which would include medical knowledge.
Unfortunately, they are using the body of a 19 year old, which means that they're somewhat limited in terms of strength but due to the riots in last month, they've definitely learned how to use what they have to their advantage
